    - RE: NEWBIE: VPN problems - no response from server? Hello All (again) I don't seem to be doing too well on this VPN business Thanks to Andy and Chad for their help in spotting the router as the cause of my problem. The firmware has been upgraded and I can now log in and be authenticated. Unfortunately now that I am in I can't do too much. My SBS server is called 'eppserver' and the domain is 'epp' I have tried \\eppserver\ through my browser but its not accessible If I ping my server IP I get a timed out I can ping 'EPP.local' and get a reply I can ping my server nic IP of 10.0.0.2 and get a reply Not sure where to go from here. Any help appreciated. Does my remote client PC need to have its name registered on the SBS network? Cheers, David Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149863

    - Where to put the web server Can someone help me with some questions I have about where to put a win2003 web server on a multihomed sbs2000 network? I wanted to put it in the DMZ to keep it isolated from the LAN but then I found out that there is an application on it that LAN users need to access. I can put the web server in the DMZ and just enable netbios over TCP/IP to allow the LAN clients access to it; but then isn't that like placing the web server on the internal network anyway? If I put the Web server on the LAN and do port forwarding to it from the SonicWall how secure will the network be with the web server on the LAN? Is there any good references that I should Look at?

    - Strange one! Hi All, I've noticed if I'm outside of my network (at home) and try and send an email through my exchange server, with an invalid account (SMTP Authentication is enabled), but address it to someone inside my network, it works and sends through. However if I send an email through my exchange server, to a different domain, with an invalid account for the (smtp auth), it's denied (which is good)! I use the SMTP authentication for remote users. How can I stop remote users trying to send emails going through my domain to users that don't exist.,wiht out a valid user account. Thanks Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149845

    - Authenitcation from remote sites smtp Hi All Simple prob I bet, I have exchange 2000 installed on a 2000 server, with ISA etc (sbs server I think) Internal users send/receive emails fine. External (remote users) also send/receive emails fine. Via outlook using SMTP The problem is external users, they can send emails even if they dont enter a password, which means anyone can send through my server! if I create a new account on my pc at home called TEST@domain.com, and enter my exchange IP address, I can send through my server to my hotmail account! AHHH this isn't good!! (open relay I think its called) I know you can specify certain machines only to access my SMTP protocol, but, the remote users IP addresses change as they use dial up. I want to make it so a password has to be entered (or stored) on the users machine in order for them to send an email through my exchange server. Whats the best solution! thanks a million Lee Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149834

    - Email assault? Our company's SBS2K exchange server is being bombarded at the rate of 1 email every 3 minutes. I receive all the undeliverable. The emails are addressed on a first name basis i.e.... bob @ gmenterprises.com. They have the company address correct, but we use first name and last name in our email. What kind of an assault is this. Each email has a file attached that is either *.pif or *.scr as an attachment (which Symantec nicely blocks). Obviously, I know it must be a virus or Trojan of some sort. Why is this assault continuing? Why so many emails? The headers do not even show common return address. -nn Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149833

    - RPC, Group Policy, and DFS issues after SBS 2003 install I just installed a brand new instance of small business server 2003. At the moment, the DC is the only machine in the domain. I and am getting the following group policy errors in the event log: "Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO cn={6AC1786C-016F-11D2-945F-00C04fB984F9},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=RisingSta rphoto,DC=local.

All the Exchange services are working properly and mailbox and public store are mounted. We can all get into our mailboxes and read our existing messages but we can't send anything. It appears to send (disappears from the outbox) but just goes into a black hole. The same applied to internal or external mail inbound and outbound. Very strange.

    - Cannot view Company.com website via internal Lan! Kindly Help!!! Hi All, I have an SBS 2000 setup (2 nics, sonicwall firewall, aDSL connection, TZO dynamic service) which so far has been running fine. One problem though...for some reason, I cannot view our www.company.com website on the sbs server or any of the workstations from inside the LAN. When I type the www.company.com address, it brings me right to the SonicWall Router Setup Page located at (192.168.1.1). I can view all other websites no problem, just not my company's external website. NOTE: if I view the www.company.com website from any other computer outside the LAN (i.e. at home), it loads fine. Any ideas for a fix? Has it something to do with TZO? ** Hugs & Kisses ** ~ Cassie ~ Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149774

    - OWA certificate issue Thanks to the well written tutorial on smallbizserver.net, I'm on the verge of rolling out OWA. In my testing, I'm running into one issue that concerns me though. When I type in the site address (123.456.789.1/exchange) The certificate window pops up as expected. I click on the view certificate, then on certification path (so I can install both certificates as described in the tutorial) and the server IP is listed at the top with an exclamation mark on it and the error "The issuer of this certificate was not able to be found." Obviously since the it can't be found it can't be installed. I thought maybe I put the certificate in an unreachable location on our website, so I copied it to a location on another site I KNOW is accessible and I get the same thing even after re-mapping the AIA line to the new source. What could be going wrong with the certificates? I can get into OWA just fine by clicking "Yes" on the do you want to proceed window, but I get the warning everytime. Any pointers? Thanks everyone.

    - DHCP stopped working. XP PRO SP1 clients. Hey everyone, Odd problem, looking for some guidance. SBS2K SP4. DHCP server stopped working. Cannot get an IP address when I do an ipconfig /renew. All clients are XP PRO SP1. What is odd though is I'll restart an XP PC and then I'll get an IP address at startup and it works. But once I release it, I cannot get reassigned. Some clients are wireless. For clients with both wireless and a wired connection, at restart, the wired connection get's an ip address, but the wired never get's an ip address. The wireless stays at the 169.xx..xx format. What should I look for? Nothing in the event viewer indicating a problem. I can manually assign addresses which work but assiging does not work. I've restarted the server as well. Thanks John Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149751

    - Exchange taking lots of RAM issue - Interesting At your own risk but the article is interesting enough. I know I am not messing with the settings but might be useful for others.... Rick in the Midwest How can I change the amount of memory that the Store can use in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server and later? A. The Store is responsible for interfacing with the Exchange database files. Because these files are disk based, the Exchange server caches as much information as possible and the Store uses as much of the machine's memory as possible, up to a default maximum of approximately 858MB of RAM. The Store releases this memory when other processes need to use it. For example, on a system with 1GB of RAM, you shouldn't be surprised if the Store typically uses more than 700MB. Having hundreds of megabytes of free memory serves no purpose, so the Store simply puts available memory to good use. You can change the amount of memory that Exchange uses for its cache by carrying out the following steps (although you should fully test any such change because it might affect system performance): 1. Install the Windows 2000 or later support tools from the server OS installation CD-ROM. 2. Start the ADSI Edit utility, which is one of the support tools--go to Start, Run, and type adsiedit.msc 3. From the left-hand pane, expand the root and expand the Configuration item. 4. Expand Services (each item will be prefixed by CN=), Microsoft Exchange, the name of your Exchange organization, Administrative Groups, the name of the administrative group, Servers, the name of the server for which you want to modify the Store memory information. 5. Select the server. In the right-hand pane, you'll see a list of components that you can change. 6. Right-click CN=InformationStore, then select Properties from the context menu. 7. Select the Attribute Editor and ensure that the "Show optional attributes" option is selected. 8. Double-click "msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax." 9. Although the value appears blank, Exchange sets this value to default to 219726. The value refers to the number of 4KB sections, otherwise known as pages. The system uses 4KB increments because the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) database that Exchange uses stores data in 4KB sections. Enter a new value equal to the number of 4KB sections required. For example, to limit the Store to use 50MB of RAM, you'd enter a value of 12500 (you would never set the value this low on a production server--I'm just using it here as an example). Because of virtual address space limitations, Microsoft recommends that you enter a maximum value no larger than 307200, which is approximately 1.2GB of memory. You should typically increase the default value of 219726 only if you have more than 2GB of memory. For maximum efficiency, ensure that the value you enter is a multiple of 8192 (i.e., 2 pages). Click OK. 10. Click OK to close the InformationStore Properties dialog box, then close the ADSI Edit console window. 11. Before the change can take effect, the value for the setting you entered in Step 9 needs to replicate across the forest. After the change has replicated, you need to restart the Store on the targeted Exchange server for the change to take effect. Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149750

Since about 2 p.m. my pacbell account is getting some zip files [besides the normal SWENs that it gets regularly] I think they are Novarg. all about 33 KB in size. -- -- http://www.sbslinks.com/really.htm Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149725

    - XP from Workgroup to Domain in SBS 2000 When I setup all my XP Pro machines, I set them up using the workgroup instead of the domain and it works fine. Now, I am wanting to get the Wim 98/ME login screen to appear in Win XP Pro Name: Password: Domain: I was told I need to change them from a Workgroup to a Domain. I tried this through the Computer Name tab and when I switch to Domain and try and change it, it says "Access Denied" Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149723

    - cant send internet email Users can receive mail but cannot send email to external addresses. They can send to everyone internally. When clicking "send and receive" from an outlook client an error is returned that says "the tcp/ip connection was unexpectedly terminated" . This started to occur after a linksys router was reset to factory defaults. After being reset the router came back online with an address that conficted with the SBS server. (192.168.1.1) SBS displayed a message about a conflicting ipaddress and the router was taken back offline and set to its previous address. (192.168.1.5) Then everything was working except external email. Any ideas ? thanks ! Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149718

    - can't retrieve POP3 email Hi We have on person in our company who works from home. They retrieve their email via POP3. Everything will be fine and then for some reason, they stop receiving email. If they close down outlook and reopen it, it still won't work. They have to log onto OWA, view/delete an item and then their POP3 account starts to work again. I have no idea what could be the cause. It's as if one of the emails blocks/clogs the process so no new emails can download. Once this email is gone, the process starts to work again. The rest of the people in the office use SMTP and don't experience this. I'm not sure if it is the client PC or the Exchange server or how to even trouble shoot this problem. Does anyone have any ideas? Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149704

    - Explorer - Can't view server Drive D Weird problem. Using windows explorer (my computer or similar), I can see my C and D drive, get their properties, etc. I can click on the C drive and see all folders OK. If I do the same on the D drive, the folder tree expands, then hangs with the egg timer, then shuts down the explorer window dumping me at the desktop. I cannot get to the files on the Drive D, except those that have shares and those can only be accessed from other PCs using the nework. This is messing up backups, causing A/V software to crash, etc. Server is SBS2K fully patched. I've disabled A/V software, tried running in Safe Mode, problem repeats. I don't have any RAID systems - drive is only 18GB SCSI formated NTFS. I cant see anything in the MS KBs. Anyone any ideas? Tag: Network wide updates Tag: 149700
