    - Emails bouncing in SBS2000 This is a second post on the same problem. I am now wondering if there is a virus that can bounce certain emails and leave others to be delivered. It is like there is an exception list, however I have checked the delivery messages filter. It is empty. What happens is that certain emails are returned to the sender as undelivered. For example Judith.Hunt@test.water.gov.au sends an email to ihunt@boaccount.com.au. It is returned and postmaster gets the message about it being undeliverable possibly because it is bouncing between two servers. The problem is escalating. Another one is vjack@algw.gov.au sends an email to vjack@boaccount.com.au. Nortons AntiVirus Enterprise edition with Exchange is running and is not reporting any viruses. I redid the server, but saved the emails and I think that was a mistake. Can ideas?? Thanks Gypsy PS It is a standard setup of SBS 2000 using Exchange 2000 service pack 3 is installed. By the way these people who are not getting certain emails are getting others and I can email them without a problem. Help would be appreciated. Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161567

    - Exchange 2000 installation question Hi: a consultant came and installed Exchange 2000 on our SBS2000. But the installation was on the C drive. And now I have 4gb left on my C. I want to move these files to a logical drive where I have 35GB. How can I move everything to avoid Exchange2000 from using my limited resources from my C drive. All the installation is under C:\program files\exchsvr. Also notice that there is a drive named M:\Excahnge (local drive) with the exact amount left from the CD drive. What can I do to move everything or at least the databases,logs anything that will fill my C. Thanks in advance Denise Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161562

    - POP3 Connected Stopped Working We are having a problem with a POP3 connector issue. It has been working fine for over a year. Then stopped. I have been able to get the server to download the messages from the POP3 server, but they are not getting routed to the end users. Where do I need to go to get that fixed. Where can I see the messages waiting to be routed to the end users. We are rebooting the server now to see what happens. Paul Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161560

    - HELP PLEASE! I have a major problem. A virus got into our Exchange 2000 system and cleared out the Exchange databases. I have no backup of them but I do have the transaction logs. I recovered these but they are all named DE1.log, DE10.log, DE100.log and so on instead of E0000001.log, E00000002.log, etc. I have looked everywhere an cannot find what these files are and if these files will work for recovery. Also, these recovered files are around 8.5GB which were on a 10GB drive. This leads me to believe that they contain the info I need to recover the databases. Thanks!!!

    - PCAnywhere on a SBS Client though ISA. I'm trying to set up PCanywhere on a client computer so I can remotely administer various applications running on the server, through the Internet. Firstly I'll expalin the configuration. I have a Small Business server which acts as the DCHP server and issues IP addresses under 10.0.1.x The server also runs ISA, and all clients have access to the Internet through the Firewall Client. The server has direct access to ADSL broadband through a static IP address. The client computer is 10.0.1.20 and has PCanywhere running waiting or a connection I have looked through loads of support questions on the internet, but can't seem to get it to work. I am assuming the bit I need to do and get my head around is somehow forward the PcAnywhere port requests to the client computer. Please help Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161518

    - SBS to Router VPN - something blocking TFTP? Hi all, Previously posted [initially under VPN from Draytek Vigor 2900...] but things have moved on a little since then. Current situation is this: SBS2K - dual NIC set-up with ISA 'sitting in the middle' - 2nd NIC connecting to Broadband [cable modem] Remote office connecting via Draytek Vigor 2900Gi For testing purposes, this is how we have things set-up currently: LAN - 172.16.0.x IP-enabled phone system - 172.16.0.50 [*not* a Windows-based system as many are - Avaya IP Office] SBS internal NIC - 172.16.0.1 ISA SBS external NIC - 192.168.42.2 - acting as VPN Server [RRAS/ISA configured and working] Broadband Router - 192.168.42.10 - PPTP [1723] pass-through to 192.168.42.2 enabled and working Vigor External Fixed IP - 192.168.42.50 - gateway of 192.168.42.10 Vigor Internal Fixed IP - 192.168.90.1 - acting as DHCP Server Laptop - 192.168.90.2 - assigned by Vigor - gateway of 192.168.90.1 IP hardphone - 192.168.90.170 - fixed IP address - gateway of 192.168.90.1 Try as we could, we could *not* manage to initiate a stable VPN connection from the Vigor to the SBS box - we kept coming up against 'could not successfully negotiate any network protocols' in the Event Logs on the SBS box. We were attempting to connect using PPTP and had configured the Server to the lowest possible level [i.e. not requiring encryption etc and allowing PAP, etc...] Therefore, we changed tack a little and can bring up a stable VPN connection from the SBS box to the Vigor, with the corresponding static routes configured both ends. We can thereafter do the following: From the SBS Server, ping anything on the 192.168.90.x range successfully From the laptop at the Vigor end, ping anything on the 172.16.0.x range successfully At this stage we thought we had it cracked. However... It appears that TFTP traffic [at least] is being blocked or otherhow prevented from being fully 'transported' between the LANs. On running a trace of the phone system engineering software, we can see that a request from the laptop at the Vigor end is received by the system at 172.16.0.50 but that it cannot appear to transmit the requested data back to the 192.168.90.x side successfully, failing with an 'unreachable net' error. Likewise, from any of the SBS LAN clients, we cannot ping anything on the 192.168.90.x range - in fact, although we can ping the likes of our ISP's domain from any of the SBS LAN clients, we cannot ping anything on the 192.168.42.x side either. Anyone got any ideas? I cannot help but think that we're now missing something simple at the SBS side that is the root of this and that resolving it cannot be far away. It is somewhat crucial that we get full connectivity working as we're testing with this in-house set-up the potential for a client to implement a remote IP phone in a similar set-up [if we can get this working in our test-bed set-up above, we *should* be able to replicate it across the Internet - in theory!] Thanks in advance, David Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161513

    - OWA, SSL & HTML formatted e-mails I have successfully set up OWA using SSL (as per Chad A Gross excellent guide), and generally it works fine. However, an internal e-mail in HTML format (using Outlook) cannot be read using OWA - a 404 page not found is generated, with suggestions to open the mail.domain.com home page etc. But if an HTML format e-mail is received from an external source, that can be read OK. Is there a setting I have missed? I have port 80 inbound specifically blocked in ISA with a packet filter. My suspicions are that this is why the problem occurs.

    - account lockout policy issues... We have a Windows 2000 Small Business Server and a member Windows 2000 server we are running terminal services in admin mode on. For some reason, we are getting account lockout issues. There is no account lockout "domain security policy" configured on the SBS server nor is there an account lockout configured under "domain controller security policy". Also there also isn't an account lockout "local" policy configured on the Win2K Terminal Server. So, to the best of my knowledge, there isn't ANY account lockout policy configured anywhere, yet we are getting a lockout after 3 invalid atempts which is way too low of a value and is causing issues. We do have a Group Policy(GP) configured on the terminal server OU (organization unit) listed under "active directory users and groups" and a GP defined on the lighlevel domain (ourdomain.local) but NEITHER of these have account lockout configured! So, my question is, where the heck is the account lockout coming from? Could there be a registry setting that did not get changed? Thanks, Brad Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161468

    - LAN to LAN VPN Hi there, I have a client with 2 offices. They have a SBS2K server at head office with 20 clients mainly running XP Pro. The SBS runs Exchange and ISA with 2 nics. The Branch office has a W2K server with about 5 clients on W2K Pro or XP Pro. The W2K server just has 1 nic. At each Site there is a Vigor ADSL Router with ISDN backup (not setup). I have enabled a IPSEC VPN between the two routers (I have also tried using PPTP which made a tunnel fine but did not solve the following problem). I can ping between a laptop plugged into the routers and I can ping from HQ to the server at the branch office but I cannot ping the server at HQ. I have adjusted some settings in ISA and can now ping the internal router address at HQ 192.168.1.1 but the server lies at 192.168.0.2 and cannot be seen. However I have bypassed the ISA server and changed the router address to 192.168.0.1 (then re-ran ICW) and physically linked it to the switch and thus same subnet. I then setup a static route in Routing and Remote Access from the HQ server to the router and network addresses at branch office and this pinged ok. However the internet access at HQ was then disabled and I don't know if that is the answer to the problem rather just it proves that somewhere in ISA Server the route is blocked. I have enabled IP Routing in ISA server for packet filtering but to no avail. I am really at a loss as how to talk through ISA server. I have setup the branch office network address 192.168.2.0 up in the LAT on ISA Server but still no good. Is it easier to bypass ISA in the end? Does ISA require another ISA Server at the branch office? Would it be simpler to network 2 ISA Server's? I can VPN in using a windows VPN client and RDP to the server using the server's external IP address on the internet. Does this all make sense? Any ideas? Many thanks Sam.

    - Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP) We have an existing SBS server connected to internet with ADSL Router (on a second NIC) and static address. I'm trying to setup a new server (Windows Server 2003 ) that will connect to the internet through a DSL router (ISDN router for the moment) with a static address. This new server will connect to the existing server with Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP). Using "Connecting a Remote Office to a Small Business Server 2000 Network" white paper I managed to connect the two servers but the connection fails when it's initiated by the remote office server with the following message: "An error occured during connection of the interface. No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept ". When the connection is initiated by the SBS server it works fine. What could be the cause of this? The SBS server was recently upgraded (migration) from 2000 to 2003 premium but the white paper whould still apply... correct? Thank you, Nikos Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161437

But they say they have yet to receive a response from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and wonder what is causing the delay. "There has been a 'pregnant pause' waiting for a response," says Rick White, CEO of TechNet, a technology industry trade group and co-sponsor of a December 2003 summit to develop an action plan. http://computerworld.com/securitytopics/security/story/0,10801,94391,00.html - - - - - - - - - - Security hole found in Mozilla browser update Developers at the open-source Mozilla Foundation have confirmed that the latest version of their Web browsers have a security flaw that could allows attackers to run existing programs on the Windows XP operating system.

Updated versions of the affected software programs, which include the Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird browsers, have been released. http://news.com.com/Security+hole+found+in+Mozilla+browser/2100-1002_3-5262676.html - - - - - - - - - - Cybsecurity research underfunded, executives say The National Science Foundation can only fund a subset of the research proposals it receives on ways to better IT system security, an NSF official said at a House technology subcommittee hearing. ?There are good ideas in the cybersecurity area that we?re simply not able to fund,? Peter Freeman, assistant director of NSF?s computer and information science and engineering directorate, said at yesterday?s hearing. http://www.gcn.com/vol1_no1/daily-updates/26526-1.html - - - - - - - - - - Web app vulnerabilities on the rise Nine out of 10 web applications remain vulnerable to attack even after developers think they have been 'fixed', security experts have claimed.

The procedure, commonly known as steganography, will allow numerical information to be hidden within a color image and accessed via a camera. Steganograghy involves altering an image in a way that cannot be perceived by the human eye, but which can be detected electronically. Fujitsu's technique can apparently hide a 12-digit number in a 1-centimeter square. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103_2-5260241.html - - - - - - - - - - Investigating digital images What's real and what's phony?

He is referring to the digital images that appear everywhere: in newspapers, on Web sites, in advertising, and in business materials, for example. Farid and Dartmouth graduate student Alin Popescu have developed a mathematical technique to tell the difference between a "real" image and one that's been fiddled with. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~news/releases/2004/07/01.html - - - - - - - - - - Spam can hurt in more ways than one Small businesses that depend heavily on the Web and e-mail to market products are increasingly caught in a spam squeeze.

    - Back-up am endeavouring to complete a new back-up with no success. I am backing up to a 4mm DDS tape which was not formatted at insertion but was formatted by the Server on request. It has no media on it at the present time so this is like an initial back-up. I feel that I am following all the Instructions and have read all the information in "Help" about Back-ups but at the end I receive this message:- "There is no media with this selected type. Add Unused media or click cancel to select another type. It may take up to 60 Seconds for Removable Storage to recognise new media." Initially I was receiving a message which read "add 4mm DDS media to the free storage pool or to Media Pool "\Remote Storage|4 mm DDS" but I appear to have got over that problem.

    - Hi to all you folks As the subject says, firt I wanna to send greeting to all of the participiants of this group. We are the firm situated in Dubrovnik, Croatia which has recently purchased a Windows 2003 SMB Server Premium edition (Academic Release). We moved from our email pop account to excange and establish local domain. Could you people help me with this stuffs: 1) How can I register a SMB with MS to get a tech support.? 2) How can I install ISA firewall clients on the machines? 3) How can I encrease manage security log setting for each workstation in domain? 4) How can I manage synchronization setting (eg. some of our laptop workstations are for some reason going in offline mode?) MS software are well documented, and there are lot of stuff on groups, net but I want to hear what are the best practice to manage first two or three basics steps to configure SMB to work correctly (e.g. http://companyweb are not working-> says bad request) Also I must point that I (as possible administrator of SMB 2003) did not installed it, it has be done by the company who sold us a Fujitsu-Siemens server, and they have not finished all the work. Thanky you in advance.. Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161398

    - SBS2003 wont start - recovery help please Hi everyone I have a system running Windows SBS2003.. its on a RAID5 array which had some failures and caused some system corruptions as a result. I have repaired the array but SBS2003 wont start. Basically it was saying that it is missing system32\config\system - so I went into the recovery console and copied the system.sav file to system.. unfortunately the system.sav file is from when it was first installed. There is no Emergency Repair Disk or Automated Recovery Disk available. There are tape backups of SYSTEM STATE available. I have confirmed the data is still okay on the array? Whats the best way to recover this system? Would putting in a temporary drive, doing a SBS2003 install on that temp drive, then restoring system state from tape, and then copying the necessary files back to the original sbs2003 installation fix this?

    - VPN from Draytek Vigor 2900 - remote client can't ping local LAN Hi all, Hopefully we're missing something simple and someone can point us in the right direction. Central Office: SBS2000 - set-up as noted below: Cable Modem Broadband Router - passthrough for PPTP VPN enabled [int - 192.168.42.10] External NIC on SBS [192.168.42.2] ISA 2000 Internal NIC on SBS [172.16.0.1] LAN [172.16.0.x] Remote Office: ADSL Broadband Router - Draytek Vigor 2900Gi [int - 192.168.45.150] PC - fixed IP - 192.168.45.160 As those who are familiar with the Vigor range will know, the Draytek kit can initiate a VPN call [it can also act as a VPN Server if required]. We can initiate a full-time VPN connection from the Vigor to our SBS box across the Internet no problem but the remote PC cannot ping anything on the LAN IP range. This is kinda critical from a testing perspective as the crux of this is to eventually implement an IP hardphone within the Remote office, connecting to the VoIP-enabled telephone system on the LAN at the Central office. We're sure this has to be a fairly basic routing issue and that we should be able to add a route somehow to 'force' the VPN traffic back to the remote LAN. Problem is we can't for the life of us work out what to do! Anyone got any pointers? Cheers, David Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161382

    - Site Bandwidth Managemnt Hello All, We have an SBS2k that has four satellites connected via VPN as well as RAS users. The satellite offices are connected via router to our SBS VPN with each site using a different class C private subnet. My question, are there settings on SBS that I need to adjust so that the system can determine that if a traffic has to go to a satellite site subnet, that it will adjust accordingly? I've read about replication on AD and Exchange and using sites to control traffic, but since we're using SBS, we don't have multiple servers. I'm just trying to figure out if we need to make adjustments to the SBS to make it process traffic more efficiently. Second part of my question is: should the subnets from the satellite offices be included in the LAT of ISA? Thank you all for your comments.

I have a couple of question regarding the account lockout policy. 1) I had originally set a local policy on our Win2K terminal server such that 3 invalid logon attempts would cause an account lockout. Later on, I had applied a domain wide policy (on our SBS 2000 server) that set it to 5 invalid attempts. I assumed the domain policy would override any local policy but it doesn't seem to. If a user logs on 3 times with an incorrect password, it will still lock them out! Also becuase we have been having problems with users being locked out, I decided to completely eliminate the lock out. So , I disabled account lockouts in both the domain policy on the SBS 200 server and the local policy on the win2K terminal server. I am still getting accounts locking out after 3 invalid attempts. What gives? Can anyone help me? 2) Also, maybe I need a lesson on what can cause a lockout... We have a user who brings in his home laptop to copy drawings off our server so he can work from home. I configured his laptop so that he has the same drive mappings he has on his work machine. Two drive mappings point to shares on our win2K server that is part of our domain. The other mapping points to a share that is on an older NT 4 server - which is NOT part of the domain. When he logs onto his laptop, he is logging on locally - not as part of the domain. (It's winxp home edition). When I set up his shares, I configured the appropriate domain\username and password so it would connect. For the NT 4 share which is part of a workgroup (not in our domain) I configured his username and password excluding the domain. The problem is, as soon as he logs on and double clicks one of his mapped drives, it asks for his password and when he enters that, it says it has locked him out!!! Why would the account be locking out when I have specified the domain/username and passwords to use for the drive mappings? There is only two drive mappings that use his domain username/password. If the lockout was set to 3 invalid attempts, why is it locking out when there are only two mappings ??? I am obviously missing something here... Thanks Brad Tag: Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade Tag: 161370

I have a customr who has a SBS 2000 on a Compaq ML530
server- currently non RAID (Several disks). He wishes to
upgrade to include a RAID 5 configuration using 3 disks.
How easy is this to achieve?. Obviously on a normal
Windows 2000 server this is fairly straightforward- but
on a SBS 2000 with exchange server this is a bit more
involved. What would the procedure be for achieving this?
(I have the RAID controller disks etc).

Thanks for reply (in anticipation).
