    - Login/Logout auditing In an earlier post, a response was given which I have included below: "You should be able to see the logins in the security log. That is, if you have turned on auditing of login and logout events." I have searched the KB and NG's but cannot locate specific instructions on HOW to initiate LOGIN/LOGOUT auditing. Can someone send me a link or tell me how to do this? TIA RickD In addition, I would like to force a logout of all desktops before my scheduled backup begins. Thanks again.

    - e-mail system was unable to deliver the message Good day, I am faced with a problem with no errors on my server. When people are trying to send emails, 9 out 10 times they will fail with this message. "The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator." You can click on resend and it will fail as soon as you realse your mouse button. About the 6th or 7th try, you can get it to go through. Have not changed anything on server. Any idea's? I would appreciate any and all help. Michael Tag: Problem with latest security patches?

    - sbs2000 on a new computer Hi I am going to install sbs2000 on a new server. This server is to rollover an existing sbs2000 server. I would like the new server to retain the same computername/IP and also to host the same internal domain name. I would like to do this because there is a multitude of 3rd party software on the server that is dependant on the name of the server. My question is, can you simply disjoin/rejoin client workstations that are running 2000/XP to this new server? eg make client pc member of workgroup and then rejoin to domain, or are there going to be SID issues etc to worry about?

    - Q's on upgrade from Win Server 2003 to Win SBS 2003 Hi Folks, I have a customer that wants to upgrade from Win Server 2003 Standard Edition to Win Small Business Server 2003. They also want to move to a new server at the same time. Microsoft has told me that this is an OK upgrade path. Since I don't have a lot of experience with the Win Server products I was looking for some feedback on how to proceed. I can think of two ways to do this but maybe there is a better way still ? 1. Upgrade in place on the old server then do a backup and then a restore on the new server. I am a bit concerned because it seems to me that NT-derived OS's seem to not do well when mucho hardware is changed, they seem to fail in booting commonly in these circumstances. Perhaps a re-install (upgrade/repair) at this point would help ? 2. Install SBS on the new PC. Export all the user info such as name/password info (can this be done ?) and import it in the new PC. Xfr over the user data. Some how track down all the non user info (networking stuff, ...) and setup that info on the new PC. There's got to be a good way ! Thanks, Denis Denisf@comcast.net Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165968

    - Terminal Services - Primary DNS Suffix option to DHCP Hello everyone, I'm having the same problem as someone else has had. I've paraphrased it here: >I've added a Windows 2000-member server to my SBS2000 to run Terminal Services, after I try to log on using the domain administrator account and >password, the "Loading your personal settings" dialog box is displayed a extremly long time (like 20 mins) before the desktop appears. >Log on by using a local administrator account works normally. >The member server is part of an active directory enviroment. However, it is not a domain controller. They got the following reply: >I fixed it by adding the Primary DNS Suffix option to DHCP, to reflect my domain name. The problem is I have no idea what they mean by this (you guessed it, I'm a tinkerer, not a professional), if anyone could give me some guidance on how this is achieved it would be greatly appreciated.

    - Adding email accounts with Exchange - SBS2K3 First of all, what happened to the SBS2K3 group?!?!?!? I have a client that would be able to add various email accounts to Exchange. This brings up several (possibly silly) questions: * Do you have to setup a new user account in ADUC in order to have an email account in Exchange? If not, how do you set one up without entering it in ADUC? * Is it possible to setup a 'variable' email account to where anything in front of the @ symbol is valid and gets routed to a specific account? (Please note that I have advised against setting something like this up due to the spam factor alone!) * Is there anyway to map/route multiple email addresses to a single user account? Could this be done with aliasing? Thanks for any helpful replies! Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165961

    - Allowing Client Applciations to be installed and updated. In SBS2000: I have added a series of applications to the "Define Client Applications". I need to be able to allow users to install these client applications (firewall, shared modem etc) when prompted without giving them local admin rights. Is there a way to allow all domain users to install only Client Apps with elevated priviledges? Also, some of these apps (clients to a server app) detect an update setup application from a server and prompt the user to run an update setup. How can you modify the SBS2000 domain policy to allow for this to happen - again without elevated priviledges? Thank you Julian Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165958

Somehow its keeps getting unchecked, I believe its one of the policies but I am not able to determine which one is causing it.

We use it for terminal server, though. I want to do an in place migration to Windows 2003 server via the migration pack.

    - OT: Looking for UK based FTP space As part of a disaster recovery plan I'm looking for some offsite FTP space preferably in the UK. The idea is to schedule an upload of certain company info offsite incase of onsite disaster. The idea is that key staff could access the ftp site from any cyber site and access certain key data.

    - Blackberry Hi, I am in the process of setting up Blackberry Enterprise Server. We have an SBS 2000 box with 2 NICs - the WAN NIC is connected to a Watchguard SOHO 6 firewall and this is then connected to our router. I have been following the deployment guide, setup the BesAdmin account in Exchage. I then planned to install BES onto a machine that ran Windows 2003 Server Std without Outlook client installed (as per the book suggested). On the 5th page of the install wizard, named 'Blackberry Server Communication Information' I enter the servername, SRP host as 192.168.16.2 (SBS's IP address as it is the proxy) and the SRP as port 3101. Now, on the Watchguard I opened up an outbound port TCP 3101 allowed by 192.168.16.2 and this throws back 'Test failed with error code (10061).' Looking at the Blackberry KB, it suggests that an outbound connection cannot be made. It requires that the outbound port 3101 should be configured as 'Bi-directional' (?what does this mean?) and I am deperately trying to get this working but I am stuck! This is when I hit the 'Test Network Connection' button. Do I need to setup something in ISA Server Filters? We use GFI MSEC, DSEC and I have granted srp.eu.blackberry to be excluded from the GFI filter in ISA. Please can someone help me as this is really bugging me. Furthermore, help on creating a custom outbound rule for port 3101 would be helpful on a Watchguard firewall SOHO6. I am sure I have done it correct, but I need a second opinion.

    - SMTP in Small Business Server 2000 Hi, We are in the UK using BT OpenWorld as our ISP. We are on Business 500 tariff. We are having problems sending out external email to a couple of clients, where we are getting smtp errors (commented out using<>): ___________________________________________ The following recipient(s) could not be reached: ' (<recipient>)' on 13/10/2004 14:12 There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator. <<sbs servername>.<SBS domainname>.local #5.5.0 smtp;550 <IP address from BT> is listed in the DNSBL at dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net and thus is considered unsolicited.> ______________________________________________ Although we have NO NAT and 5 IP addresses, it seems that BT has put us on a domestic account at their exchange as the IP address changes each time we drop the line and re-sync. In Internet Connection Wizard on the SBS Admin Console, I ran through the wizard to setup our router (specifiying the external NIC IP for external network etc...) and I cannot find the bit where you specify the SMTP server. I seem to remember in the past, BT changed their SMTP server and I went into a MMC somewhere on the SBS to re-plug this in - but I cannot find it. Furthermore, although the SBS runs it's own SMTP service, am I sending mail out through the SBS or am I using the ISP's SMTP server? For the latter, I do not know where I should plug in the ISP's SMTP server address. Please help. As you can see, our domain, SBS machine name and our email domain-name are all different. Is this a possible reason why we are being rejected by this recipient - are they doing a reverse DNS lookup and we are failing somewhere? In which case, how can we test and how can we put this right?

    - XP SP1, Windows update error 0x800072F78 For info, none of our XP clients will contect to Windows Update from behind a bog standard SBS 2000 install (i.e. no specific ISA configurations in place), post the install of the MS critical security patches in September. Alternatively, it may be due to MS updates to the XP side of the WindowsUpdate site following XP SP2 release. The error given is 0x800072F78 and none of the client fixes in the relevant KB article work (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836985). W2K clients and the SBS server update just fine. The KB article does suggest a firewall problem and, indeed, adding a temporary allow/allow all IP traffic rule in ISA is a workaround. Any suggestions on a better solution (not involving XP SP2 at present) would be appreciated (as would an explanation of what got broke in the first place!)

    - Using IAS to authenticate remote users.... We have a windows 2000 small business server. Due to the fact that we also have a Watchguard Firebox 700 in our environment, I have not really looked too closely at the value edded by configuring the IAS server. However, now we are in a bit of a predicament. Because we are being 1:1 NATTED to our firebox by our wireless IP provider (where our public IP is located), the java authentication applet running on the Firebox that a remote user would normally run before they could get through the firewall does not know the IP address of the actual browser that initiated the request. It only knows the exteral IP of the Firebox which is a private ip - not our public IP. (Don't ask questions - it just doesn't work - Watchguard tech support has told me so!!!) So, because of this we have not been able to authenticate any remote users before they actually get to our production servers. '' The only authentication (we user terminal services, Outlook Web Access and have an FTP server as well) is when they actually have to supply a domain username/password - and if supplied correctly - gain access to our Terminal server... I now want to change this so that a user must authenticate first and then if authenticated, will be able to access the terminal server, FTP server, etc... I really wanted to have this authentication take place prior to hitting my production machines, but I don't see any other solution (unless someone else has) to doing this... The firewall is obviously the best place to provide this security feature... What would I have to configure in IAS to provide this type of a thing? A RADIUS server? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, brad Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165892

    - strange DHCP lease SBS2000-ISA/DHCP/DNS/IIS/EXCHANGE ~50 W2K clients periodically I take a look at the leases folder of the DHCP tree in the SBS console. Almost everything looks OK, except the twice now I have noticed a lease for a computer called "pat". Problem is that I do not know of any system named "pat" and nobody is owning up to connecting to the network. Therefore I'd like to prevent "pat" from connecting and getting a network IP address. The only info I have is the NIC "00010267a972" and the computer name "pat" Is there a way of locking "pat" out? Please be specific. Thanks RickD Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165886

    - Dual Boot with W2K3 Hi Can I set up W2K3 to dual boot with my W2K SBS installation. I have a migration planned on the same box and three spare HDD slots in the server. So...I was thinking about lobbing in some new HDD and building it on the same machine. Should make data transfer easier. Then once all done I can remove the old HDD and reset the boot sector and off I go? Any comments TIA lewej Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165877

    - Exchange server error message when trying to change permissions on public folders I am receiving error message "Invalid windows handle ID no: 80040102 Exchange System Manager" when trying to change permissions on a public folder in Exchange 2000. I have found kb article 313333, which addresses this issue: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;313333 I cannot find the file pfinfo on my server. Where can I locate this file and the pfadmin utility? The article also says these utilities will only work with the retail version of Exchange or Exchange with SP 1. I have Exchange patched to SP 3. Does anybody know how this issue can be resolved with SP 3 installed? Regards Andrew Stevens Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165872

    - SMTP Problem Our SBS Exhange server has geen sending out thousands of messages via SMTP. These messages have not originated from our company. Even when the server is disconnected from both local and internet the messages queue up. The only way I have found to halt their creation is to stop the SMTP service. Can anyone help me to find a solution. Chris Bartholomeusz Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165871

    - Is it possible to see the network neighbourhood through the VPN? Hello, I just set up the VPN for our server, and the initial connection worked. I can access the resources from the server. What I am interested in is to have the ability to browse the network neighbourhood or access other computer (other than the VPN Server). Since I am rather new, I am just wondering if this possible? TIA for any advice or guidelines in putting me in the right direction. Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165870

    - Printing problem Hi, Out of the blue today we started having trouble printing to our network printers. The problem seems to only occur with our windows 98 SE clients. We seem to be able to print fine from windows XP clients and from the server itself. The symptoms are that things just don't print, the printer icon doesn't appear in the system tray. If I try and do a printer test page from the printer properties I get the following error message "There was an error writing to server/queue for printer printername. The access code is invalid The printer will be set to work offline To save your job in the local printer queue, click ok" I have tried reinstalling the printer dirvers on the server and the clients, but still get the same problem. I have also tried turning all machines off, server and clients, and still the same problem. Can anyone offer any ideas as to how to solve this problem.? Thanks Mark S.

    - RAID 1 versus RAID 5 Yesterday in my office there was a discussion with Marina Roos and Jeff (online) about howto to setup the best practice RAID partitioning. In the past I followed the SBS2K deployment guide which states: RAID 1 is the only way you can back up your boot and system partition. In the case of RAID 5, you require at least three disks and you can use up to two-thirds of the total disk space for data storage. This provides better performance, but it cannot give fault tolerance to your boot and system partitions. I have 2 9.1GB HDs and another 4 36GB HDs. In the past I installed the system programs on the 9.1 partitions and the data files of exchange, SQL and users and company shared folders on the 36GB disks. Is the deplyment guide wrong in stating that the boot and system disk can only be backuped with RAID 1? Furthermore what happens in an all RAID 5 situation if the system partition disk goes bad? Is it in this case also just a matter of hot swapping a new disk and move on? Or ... I can use the 9.1Gb to expand a RAID 5 partition on other server, so moving to RAID 5 would be welcome.

    - Removing ISA 2000 and 2nd Nic Hi All, I have a client who wants to do some apps back and forth between their main office (SBS 2000) and their branch office (NT4.0 Server). After much trial and tribulation with ISA, we decided that we will remove ISA ( well, put it in just Caching Mode) and the 2nd Nic so that the apps will work from server to server. They have a VPN router at each office with a full time VPN connection running. Now, what probs will I face doing this? Any order I should do things in? Thanks, Mike Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165864

    - mail-domain problem, domain within domain Hello, the problem is this: using SBS2000, 30 clients, The mail send-part is the problem. The company is international working, lets call it, The company Buzz, so info@buzz.com is legal. All of the people within the whole company world-wide will have the form firstname.lastname@buzz.com so that it appears to the whole world as 1 company. In the netherland there is site1, in germany site2, in england site3, etc. If someone sends a mail to big.ben@buzz.com it will arrive at the master-mail-server in england, here it gets sorted and forwarded to the pop-mailbox@site3 because Big Ben is working in England at site3, so will the mail send to amster.dam@buzz.com beiing forwarded to pop-mailbox@site2 because miss Amster Dam is working in the Netherlands at Site1. Ok this is all working ok. Now miss Amster Dam gets a mail from Big.Ben@buzz.com and reply's to it, now here it goes wrong, if she send the mail, exchange will see that there is a mail coming from amster.dam@buzz.com as reply to big.ben@buzz.com and exhange will know that all of this is within it's own domain........ it searches for Big Ben locally but can't find it. And send a nice message to Amster Dam that it can not reach Big Ben. And end the transmission with <server-x.buzz.intra #5.1.1> Q1. can i work around this? Q2. can i configure a list of adresses that exchange looks into and can make the decision to kick the mail on the internet? Q3. help Tag: Problem with latest security patches? Tag: 165849

    - Adding WinXP Pro to SBS2000, Disk or NO Disk? Looked at the info on smallbizserver.net about adding a WinXP Pro client to SBS2000 and it says, "DO NOT USE THE CLIENT FLOPPY DISK." Then is says, "See more info 316418 - How to Set Up a Windows XP Professional Client in an SBS 2000 Network." KB article 316418 says, "You can use the SBS 2000 Setup Computer Wizard to create a floppy disk that you can use to configure a client computer in an SBS 2000 network. Microsoft recommends that you use the Computer Setup Wizard to configure Windows XP based client computers." Any insight and/or clarification on this would be appreciated! Thanks.

This could be due to the manner in which our particular SBS 2000 server is
configured, or 3rd party applications running on it (Trend, GFI, and ISS
products), but in case not, it seems worth reporting:

After installing the latest round of MS critical updates yesterday (834707,
8 33989, 841356, 840987, 841533, 824151) our server would not reboot, except
in safe mode. Uninstalling the critical updates didn't solve the problem,
nor did restoration of system state, nor did five hours on the phone with MS
tech support, during which we removed all 3rd party apps.

Problem was only cured by complete restoration of the OS drive from backup.

Followup: Turns out that enabling Terminal Server somehow caused the
inability to reboot. Going into safe mode to disable TS got me up and
running normally again. Now working on the TS problem.
