    - Server Status Report and Network Browsing Hi All, I'm really troubled by this strange behavior: SBS2K, 2nics, patched and SP4, co has no valid domain name... I've been trying to have the Server Status Report run twice daily and have it sent over to an outside e-mail. Well, it just doesn't. However, it will send the report just fine to a mail inside the domain... 2nd - after I installed SP4 clients (win9x and 2000) can no longer browse the network and see other clients... any ideas are greatly appreciated! thanks, Mali Kirchner Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117758

    - POP3 connector crashes at SMTP delivery stage Hi, I have a really wierd problem with a SBS2000 installation and the POP3 connector for Exchange. Everything had been working fine for over a year but all of a sudden (without any change to the server's configuration), the POP3 connector has started crashing. Basically the POP3 connector crashes at the point where it transitions from completing the POP3 download from the remote mailbox to connecting to Exchange's SMTP server at the exact point where it trys to connect to the SMTP service, port 25 (the last event ID is 4020). However, if the server is rebooted, any mail previously collected prior to the crash will then be delivered, but the next time the POP3 connector collects new mail it crashes again after downloading them and then crashes whenever the service is restarted. Maybe it's a bit clearer if I walk through the exact sequence and what happens in the application log (I have logging set to maximum). 1. Start with the server rebooting. At this point there are messages left in the InForward directory from the previous session where the POP3 connector had crashed. 2. Once server is booted, I check the application log: I can see that a SMTP connection is attempted (event ID 4020 "The Delivery Service is logging as an SMTP client on port 25 ") followed by connection event ID 4013 and then all the messages are delivered one by one (event ID's 4022 and 4032). All OK so far - messages have been delivered to the appropriate mailboxes. Examining the SMTP server's log file also shows everything was ok. 3. Now I force a Retrieve Now on the POP3 connector. 4. The ADSL connection is established automatically (note that I currently have a dynamic IP address - hence the reason for using POP3!) 5. Summary of events that occur now: Event ID 4010: Checking messages in multiple POP3 mailboxes Event ID 4028: The POP3 agent is going to open the mailbox... Event ID 4019: The delivery service is logging as a POP3 client on port 110 Event ID 4015: The POP3 host ... answered ... Event ID 4016: We have been granted access to ... Event ID 4024: There are 21 message(s) with a total of 194156 byte(s) Event ID 4029: A message was downloaded from the POP3 server. ... {21 of these} Event ID 4023: The POP3 session transcript was: ... <G>: +OK demon POP3 server ready (demon.co.uk) <C>: USER *** <S>: +OK <C>: PASS <secret password> <S>: +OK <C>: STAT <S>: +OK 21 194156 <C> { Downloaded and deleted messages if neccessary. } <C>: QUIT <S>: +OK {This event is repeated once again} Event ID 4001: The shared POP3 accounts have been checked for incoming messages Event ID 4031: The individual POP3 accounts have been checked for incoming messages 6. At this point it crashes, stating an internal error has occured. No more events in the application log. The messages are now left in the INCOMING folder. The POP3 service is not running. This is an extract from the file VMIMB.TXT: ====================================================== Product: Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes 5.00.2195.1 Fault Date: 07/16/2003 Time: 20:09:25 ====================================================== Exception Code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION Fault Address: 004080B3 01:000070B3 C:\Program Files\Microsoft BackOffice\Connectivity\POP3 Connector\vmimb.exe 7. Restart the POP3 service manually. It now moves the files in INCOMING into INFORWARD before promptly crashing again. Looking in the application log I get: 1000: The service is starting. Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes 5.00.2195. 1001: The service started successfully. 4008: The delivery service is flushing its outgoing and incoming queues 4009: Flushing transaction complete 4041: LDAP: The entry points where loaded from the image: <C:\WINNT\system32\WLDAP32.dll> 4008: The delivery service is flushing its outgoing and incoming queues 4020: The Delivery Service is logging as an SMTP client on port 25 {crash now!} Every restart of the POP3 connector service now follows this pattern of crashing and the last event being 4020. Examining the SMTP log file shows that no connection was attempted. Even if I stop the SMTP service it still happens this way. The only way to get it to deliver the mail is to reboot the server. The SMTP connection is then made OK. I've also tried a manual telnet to the SMTP server to make sure that responds, and it does. I'm at a bit of a loss on how to resolve this. Anybody got any ideas? I've tried reinstalling the POP3 connector and that's not made any difference. Regards, Aled. Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117749

    - SBS2000 with XP Pro Clients We have just upgraded our network server to a Dell Poweregde running SBS2000. All of the clients run Windows XP Pro. The problem that i have is that i cannot get any client that was used on the old SBS4.5 server to connect to the new SBS2000 server. The problem seems to be the trust relationship being out of sync. Even trying to re-configure the clients using the disk created by the Add New User wizard does not correct the problem. The server reports that the trust relationship has been broken and should be re-established but i cannot find any instruction on how to do this. Has anybody encountered this before and if so do you have a fix? Thanks, Rob Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117667

    - ADSL/Router Email Problems I have installed a new SBS 2000 as follows: Internal NIC 10.0.x.x External NIC 192.168.x.2 Netgear ADSL/Router DG814 192.168.x.1 with Fixed IP address from ISP Have added Port Forwarding on the Router for Port 25 to the External IP on the NIC (should this be the internal Nic with a Static Route pointing to the external nic??) Have configured SBS using ICW for a router with 2 nic's Internet browsing great Sending Emails great Cannot Telnet to port 25 on the fixed IP address on the gateway (ISP address)- response is that no response has been received. NAT is enabled on the Router. Do I need to use the DMZ? Surely this reduces the Firewall of the Router. All the settings in the SMTP and Filters in ISA appear to be fine (as per the ICW configuration requested). Which IP addresse should be selected in the SMTP connector - internal or external? Would this make a difference? Any other pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Andrew Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117662

    - IMPORTANT: New method for spammers to relay through you Hi all, I've been investigating this week how one of my customers was used as a spam relay host - even though they are not an open relay host. It's a detailed issue and according to a number of other sources is a new method the spammers are using to "sell their products". I've written up an article (rather than post something too long here) and posted it on www.sbsfaq.com if your interested. I'd be interested to hear feedback on the people who have seen this attack.

    - Looking for consultant/contractor I hope I'm not off topic asking this but I'm looking for someone to help with SBS work and have had no luck finding the type of person I want by advertising in the job ads. Probably because the type of person I'm looking for doesn't need to read the job ads. I am in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and I am a contract network administrator/engineer and provide support for SMEs that are not big enough to justify the cost of their own full time network administrator. I also contract to a government department. Until recently a good friend and I worked together helping each other out when necessary but he has recently accepted a full time contract with one of his clients and I find myself with more work than I can handle at times, I'd also like to be able to take a holiday sometime. This is not an ad looking for someone out of work, there is not enough work to keep someone going full time and it is intermittent. I'm looking for someone in a postion similar to mine, who is self employed, who can share the work load when necessary. Conversely, I can help you out if and when necessary. If you fit this brief description and would like to find out more please email me direct at smesupport@enterprisecomputerservices.com to keep OT traffic off this news group.

    - PC on external network I have a network with an SBS2K with a Netgear router between irt and the internet. We have to access a web based app via VPN (IPSec). We can't do it with the PC behind the SBS but it works fine with the PC on the subnet between the SBS and Router. The problem is, I'd like to access data on the server from that PC. Can anyone tell me how to configure ISA to allow that? Thanks, Lester Bennett Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117643

    - Cannot send email via SMTP connector Hi everyone, Using SBS2000, dial-up ISP, no fixed IP. Using the POP3 connector, I can collect email from the ISP pop3 server and relay it to individual mailbox. But I cannot send email using the ISP's smtp server, eventhough I have set the password in Outbound security (using basic authentication). What gives?

    - Newbie: How to stop ISA server from dialing periodically Hi all, I'm using a modem dial-up to connect to the internet. The ISA server in my SBS2000 always dials every 5 minutes regardless whether there is a client connecting or not. How to stop this? If I check the log, the requests are initiated by the IP address of the server itself (192.168.0.1 and 127.0.0.1) and always contains "GET http://.com/". What is it?

    - ** ON TOPIC: It's Friday night and it's patch time As I sit here with my fleet of computers beeping and playing the Windows tune as I push patches and force reboots.....just a friendly reminder....... Most of the hacks from the outside are due to lousy passwords [ensure that they are complex, longer than 8 characters] and from unpatched systems. Most of the real security issues come from the inside...... unprotected systems, outdated A/V, not relying on "defense in depth" [for example two passes of A/V over email, once in Exchange once on the desktop] If you have port 80 open.... [how do I know this? Go to www.grc.com click on shields up/ports up and see what you have open.] ..... and fast track yourself on patches. That said... our recent 03-026 security bulletin having to do with a vulnerability in RDP...that little sucker is a worm waiting to occur. A Polish team of guys [see their web site at http://lsd-pl.net/special.html] have not released the exploit but they are threatening to do so after people have had time to patch. This sucker hits ports 135, 139 and 445.... plain english that's how we talk to other computers and while we can easily protect our server systems from a port 135, 139 and 445 attack on the OUTSIDE by ensuring our firewalls are installed properly, we ALL have a squishy creamy middle on the inside that we can only protect with this patch...... all home users that don't have a firewall..... anyone who VPNs into the office bypasses all that protection. Also any one who has been getting Messenger service popups on their server.....dude that's a sign that you've got a squishy creamy outside that's not protected..... MAKE sure that "enable netbios over tcp/ip" is unticked and only tcp/ip is checked if you are running a two NIC setup. If you are running a 1 nic setup and a hardware firewall and getting these messenger service popups [not to be confused with back-ads on IE that are due to spybots] then dude your firewall is not configured right. Go to www.grc.com [look for Shields up go to shields up/ports up and if 135, 139 or 445 are open..... your firewall is not installed right]. I cannot stress this enough..... SANS is stressing three biggies this week... one is a CISCO router vulnerability ... Denial of service affecting CISCO routers, then there's a couple of nasty Linux vulnerabilities, and this one in the Windows world. It's just a real unfriendly world out here on the Internet these days plain and simple for everyone just trying to do their job. <<Soapbox rant on>> The days of installing systems and not monitoring them are over. Welcome to the maturing of computing where we have to take care of these little boxes that we've installed. I cannot stress this enough... even us little guys have all the tools we need to do patch management [in fact I would argue that we probably have more options at better prices than the big guys.... we've got two options that are free] SUS/Shavlik/St. Bernards.... if you don't have a patch managmement solution in place for every single computer system attached to your network, get one. SUS is free, Shavlik.com has a free hfnetchkLT that I run from my workstation here. For those people that work from home....get them to sign a statement in writing that they will patch their systems. Force them to get WinXP and auto update in place. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=73ac38b7-5826-421d-99e8-cdcc608b8992 Guidance, tools, and templates for learning and performing security patch management. Last but not least... in this day and age of computing...if your server is just acting plain ol' weird..... that's not normal. Start doing some investigation, do a virus scan, go into the user/AD console and make sure there's still a little red X on the Guest account. If that guest account is enabled, and it's been added to the admin group, my friend, go get a stiff drink 'cause you may have a mess on your hands. We SBSers are NO different than any other system out here. Watch those passwords, keep up to date on patching, and we do just fine. We are no less secure than anyone else....we are no more secure than anyone else..... unfortunately.... Let's just be real careful out here huh? Sincerely, Susan the real paranoid P.S. If you are having problems running Windows Update from the server [which is just fine these days], shut down Exchange. I personally shut off Exchange, Officescan and ScanMail before installing patches.

    - upgrade wants new install instead - there goes the weekend. Today I tried to upgrade an existing install of SBS 4.5 (SP6a) to SBS 2000 using the CD's from MS labeled as upgrade. The stupid thing says that it cannot upgrade the current version and that I should perform a new install. Well a clean install would be better except that I need to be sure that the existing Exchange Email does not get wiped out in the process - which a new install would do and is not acceptable to them. Anyone see this before? I cleared the warnings applying to Exchange and Proxy and LDAP and tried again - still says it does not qualify. It baffles me - 4.5 to 2000 should work fine. The data is on a D: drive the OS on C:. The only thing that even occurs to me is that the C: drive is 3.99GB with 1.5GB free space. Has anyone had problems upgrading if there is less the 4GB? The RAM is 512 and the processor is 550Mhz so these should be OK. Any suggestions greatly appreciated as otherwise I will spend my evening making sure I know how to restore email and it seems like a painful process from what I have read so far. Or if anyone has restored email from 5.5 to 2000 and can pass along any links or tips, including the pit falls that would also be appreciated just in case I have to take that route. Looks like I will be stuck in a computer room all weekend - but if I can upgrade at least I may see some daylight. Thanks, Linda Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117606

    - Replacing Disks I have a sbs W2000 system with a 4 disk raid array which has both my operating system and data. I have outgrown the present drives and want to replace them with larger ones. In the process, I want to separate the operating system to a separate drive that will become part of an mirrored pair. I have yet to find a way to do this without removing all disks and doing a complete recovery from tape --- which I am reluctant to do with my only operating server. I have tried a number of tricks, none of which works. The array is a basic system -- it refuses to become a dynamic disk system.

    - Best AD Setup for External User We wish to share an important file in real-time, with one of the employees at our logistics firm in another city. The file is a large shareable Excel spreadsheet that is in the SMB "Company" directory. The external user should only be able to see/read/modify that 1 file ONLY on our system. We can set her up with VPN; but how would I SEVERELY restrict her access to just that one file? Basically, she'd VPN in, and click the file shortcut we'd stick on her desktop. That's as far as she'd go, but others in her office who use her desktop would be the one's I worry about. Any ideas? Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117568

    - Win9x clients crashing & losing drive mappings This week, I moved a client with 18 desktop machines from a Linux Server to SBS. Users have been set up thru the wizard but have not yet added computers to AD nor have I run the magic disk. All clients are connecting to the network in a WORKGROUP mode. Desktop OS as follows: 1 @ XP Pro 1 @ XP Home 3 @ Win98 SE 13 @ WinMe PROBLEM: Since the change to SBS, client machines running W98 & Me frequently either lose their connection to their mapped drives or even disconnect from the mapped drive and need to be remapped. Occasional their machine even crash. They are also reporting that their applications are running alot slower than when running against the Linux box. Any ideas out on what might be needed to resolve these issues or what steps might be taken to diagnose this one? Thanks all, AlanS Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117563

    - Login Script SBS2K, Win2K clients. I performed my first push to Win2000 over the weekend. Of course I am now working out a few kinks. One problem I am having is that for some users, when the SBS_Login_Script.bat runs the SBSCLNT.exe app, the command prompt window it opens just sits there forever. If I CTRL + ALT + DEL out of it, when the desktop loads, the company and user folders are there and everything seems to be okay. Also, I am running user login scripts via Group Policy to connect to printers, and those work okay too. I figured that the problem was that the users did not have the correct permissions to run the application. When I configured the computers, I did not add the specific user of that PC to the local Admins group. To try to get around the problem running that app, I assigned that Authenticated Users group to the Local Admins group. The program runs fine now, but here is my question: if you are deploying apps and other settings via Group Policy, is it still necessary to have users run the SBS_Login_Script.bat and the SBSCLNT.exe? I would, however, like to keep the company and the user's folder on the desktop. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks, Chris Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117544

    - help needed - urgent! ok, posted this once before and got no responses. really, really need help here... Ok, trying to set up dial-in access. The WAN VPN works fine using IP after I have connected to an ISP on the client, but I can't connect directly from the client via modem. I receive the error 913: "a remote access client attempted to connect over a port that was reserved for routers only." The article I found in the knowledge base (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;262357) doesn't help. It says: Click Ports, and then click Properties on the Action menu. Click the appropriate port (L2TP, Modem, PPTP, LPT1, and so on), and then click Configure. Click to select the Remote access connections (inbound only) check box, and then click OK. There is no "properties" on the action menu and no place to configure the port as far as I can tell. Is there something in IAS that I need to change or what? What am I missing here? TIA!!

    - Internal Web Server I have recently changed from a linux router to a cisco SOHO router. I knew nothing about Linux so that is why I changed. Since I have switched to the cisco I have been unable to get to the web server internally using the domain name. I can get there with the ip address. I unplugged the router and still was unable to get to the web page using the domain name. I put a www host record in my dns and put the web servers IP address in it. I am still unable to get to it using the domain name. This is the first dns record i have put in so I am not sure if I have it correct.

    - Hosting Multiple Internet Domains on SBS and the ICW I want to host another domain on my SBS box and was wondering that during the ICW wizard when you input your Internet Domain name will it allow you to use a comma or semi colon to specify an addiitonal domain. If not how can I do this? Thanks! Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117489

    - Problems with .exe files! Hi, My name's Pedro, I have an SBS2000 server and last week it got infected with two viruses: PE_Parite.A and PE_Parite.B. We cleaned the computer, but now we can't find some .exe files. The backup application can't run because it's missing its .exe file. Other applications that are not working in the Administrative Tools are ODBC, Telnet, and Terminal Services Manager. In the Small Business Server Administrator Console, the IIS can't find its .exe file. I just wanted to know if there was a way to restore our Server without having to format it, again. Can I install those services without having to format the server? Or can any one tell me where to find the .exe files in the CDs so that I could do a 'copy and paste'? Thanks in advance!

    - POP3 Connector with Dialup I setup my first client with a modem for Internet access. All my other clients had broadband access but this one is out in the middle of nowhere, so I had no choice. I ran through the ICW and choose the correct settings as far as I know. The users were able to send email but couldn't receive. From the server, I couldn't connect to the ISP's POP3 server. Figured that was the reason so made a Packet Filter in ISA to allow outbound TCP 110. Once I was able to telnet to the POP3 server on port 110 from the server, then it was able to pull down email. Did I miss something in the ICW or is this how it is supposed to be done? Rick in the Midwest Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117379

    - Outlook Profiles Why does the Outlook profiles get created automatically and then other times it doesn't? I just setup a new network with 5 computer that are exactly the same. We purchased Office XP Standard through Open License and I installed that identical to every computer. But 3 out of 5 of them doesn't create a Outlook profile when a user logs on. You have to go through the Outlook profile wizard every time. But on the other computers, it gets configured automatically. Where is this setting stored at, so I can take a look and see if I can fix it? Rick in the Midwest P.S. Office was installed from the CD at the local workstation. It was not installed from the server. Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117377

    - Problem for VPN Clients When VPN tries to connect, I get "encryption attempt failed, no valid certificate found." Is there a way avoid requiring this? I just used the "allow VPN access" wizard in the SBS Console under IAS. Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117363

    - It finally hit me. Slow network drive browsing from an XP Pro client Oh no. I thought I avoided this one. Browsing one my SBS servers is very slow. User opens up My Computer, clicks on the mapped drive, and the contents show about 15 seconds later. About 300 folders in this directory. My XP Pro clients are SP1. Server is SP1 with ISASP1. This is a new server so I have not patched it with any critical updates yet so I am hoping that is my problem, that this is a common issue that will be fixed by downloading patches via Windows Update. Please tell me I am right. Or am I assuming and you know what happens. Thanks JohnJ Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117355

    - Memory Question, do I have enough free? SBS2000, SP1. Looking at my free memory, and it is 57% or 883 MB total is 1.5 gig. Is this low? Is the rest overhead? Two 73 scsi drives, 1 internal tape drive. What is using all my memory. My Pagefile is 1.5 times my physical ram and the page file is located on a seperate partition on the drive. What do you think? This is with NO users connected to it, just my terminal services session active. Thanks JohnJ Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117347

    - Antivirus Question, do I need exchange agent in this situation? One of my clients did not want her POP3 settings changed. All email is coming down from the ISP. Her choice. But we are going to use SMTP in Exchange for mail going out. When I ran ICW, I am using SMTP for Exchange, don't change POP3. Have Symantec Corporate Edition loaded 8.1, just real time scanning on the server, excluding the Exchange files as recommended by MS and Symantec Do I need the Exchange agent, which she paid for, in this situation since my client wants the virus duties done at the client? She knows that the server is not blocking executible that might have viruses but here users are pretty computer savy, I am understanding. She just want the Server to manage the clients. I understand the real time scanning scans anything coming through ISA anyway so Exchange might be too much. That the Server side of things scan everything written to the server HD, no matter what it is. What do you think? JohnJ Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117344

    - ISA Problems Hi On one of our other remote servers we have just installed adsl, unfortunately we could not get the SBS administrator console snapin to initialise so we could not run the internet connection wizard. I went into the ISA configuration and removed the tick box for use dialup and have updated the LAT with the IP addresses for the router. I then rebooted the server and everything seemed fine i.e. everyone had fast broadband internet access. Patting my self on the back for a job well done (i should not have been so smug!) I left site. 4 hours later I received a call telling me that no one could no longer access the internet. I got them to reboot the router but to no avail. In desperation I asked them to reboot the server which sorted the problem. Well that wwas for a dew hours anyway. I contacted BT (the ISP) as we could no longer ping the router theny told me that there was a lot of traffic passing through the router and this was causing the problem. I got them to disconnect the machines on the network one by one until the traffic stopped. This occured when the server was disconnected. I suspected that they may have a virus such as code red so i got them to check that the AV was fully updated and asked them to do a virus scan. This turned up no viruses. I have installed tcp view to see if anything is causing this problem but nothing seems to be amiss. I can only think that it is something that was done in the ISA configuration. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Tag: Pictures from the SBS 2003 Server Manager Tag: 117317

If you sign up for the hands-on lab, you can actually check out the new
features without installing the software.
Very good way to demo the product to your clients or for self learning.
