    - outbound fax problems I have a problem with my outgoing faxes through SBS2000. I have tried to send a fax with an attachment to an outside agent through Outlook XP. It is always being returned to my inbox stating that it's undeliverable. The content of the undeliverable e-mail looks like this: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: Apple Vacations Fax Sent: 12/8/2003 3:31 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: FAX:Dennis Loomis@+1 (563) 386-3093 on 12/8/2003 3:31 PM The e-mail address could not be found. Perhaps the recipient moved to a different e-mail organization, or there was a mistake in the address. Check the address and try again. I tried sending a fax to another person in my contact list, and that fax goes through perfectly. Why would it fax to one person, but not to another? HELP! Thanks!

    - exchange I have a user who is getting copies of everyones sent and recieved e-mails in the domain. We download POP3 mail from individual accounts from our hosted mail into exchange. I am getting undeliverable messages for his account from anything we try to send him from the outside world. One read " A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients." I have since killed his account on the POP3 connector and he is recieving mail at the ISP now. We have done no config changes on exchange. I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Create Folder for a Group Forgive me to ask this very basic question: How do I create a folder in SBS2K in order to give access only to a group of user? I do not want anyone except this group to see the contents of the folder. I created a group (eg. MyGroup) from AD and added few users including myself to this group. I can see this group name under ..\Mybusiness\Group folder. I then created a folder (eg. GroupFolder) in the Server and select properties. I choose "Do not share this folder" in the Sharing tab. I added the MyGroup in the Security tab with Full access. I remove Everyone from the Security tab. When I try access to the file folder, I got the error "Access is denied". What did I do wrong? Thanks in advance. Ron Tag: Questions on the products that come with SBS Tag: 145663

    - Shared Fax / Dialing rules / Outlook XP - need help with 100+ faxing per day ! I need to get Shared Fax working for a customer has Win2000 SBS (W2K sp3) and Outlook XP clients. I have done the Contacts import/export conversion so that ALL contacts have the canonical form dialing showing up. (i.e. +1-555-222-3333). The local phone company requires area-code inclusion for LOCAL calls. Long distance calls require +1 on the number. There are 2 USR 56k PCI modems installed on the server. they were on the Server 2000 HCL list. I have added to the Shared Fax - Outgoing Routing - Rules to use "1" as the country code for "all areas", "all devices". The default rule is still in place. So...the user STILL does not get a successful fax connection to a 1+###-###-#### attempt but you can pick up the same line with a handset and dial directly with a good result. Mostly, I'd love to hear from anyone who does a high volume of faxing 100+ per day, successfully. Also, which computer really controls the dialing...the client or the Win2K server? please, any help would be appreciated. I do have a MS support incident i can use but i want to get real world advice as to whether this thing will ever really work ...even with MS Support.

    - Security on Company Sub Folders All, I posted a question a while ago about sub folders not inheriting the permissions set from higher folders. I have been looking at this again as it has come up after a few weeks. Below is the permissions for the company drive and a new sub folder created on a Win XP Pro machine. The Test document is not available to any other clients. D:\Company Shared - Domain Users, Domain Admins - FC not ticked to inherit from Parent. D:\Company shared\Advisory - Domain Users, Domain Admins - FC inherited from D:\Company Shared - Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object is ticked D:\company shared\advisory\test - FC Everyone D:\Company Shared\Advisory\Test\test document.doc - FC Administrators, System - ONLY Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object is ticked. When the Win XP Pro client created the about Sub folder Test and then the Test Document.doc the security is all wrong. Anyone any ideas why this is happening? I can reset the permissions fine but any new documents or sub folders created end up with the wrong security info. Thanks Dave Tag: Questions on the products that come with SBS Tag: 145630

    - Exchange log files Let me start by admitting that I don't take good enough care of my SBS 2000 box - that should avoid the 'serves you right' replies :-) I have SBS 2000 serving approx 35 employees, and I back the server up using Backup Exec 9.0. I run a FULL backup each weekday night. I have 2 large Exchange files... priv1.edb 2.8Gb priv1.stm 8.3Gb However, I have noticed today that I also have approx 12Gb of log files on another drive (e.g. E0008EDA.log), and the vast majority of these are from Sunday 7th December. Can somebody explain what is going on ? I thought the log files were deleted once they were backed up ? How can I have 12Gb of log files from a day when the server was barely used ? Ian.

    - blicking unwanted virus spam In exchange is it possible to block these virus things claiming to be from microsoft? Our antivirus picks up around 10 per day and they jsut sit in the SMTP queue as the antivirus cant delete it. We use Mcafee. Is there any other way other than putting the adresses into the filter list, of blocking these annoying emails? If not, in the filter list can you block say a whole domain as in anything from.adviser.net as an example? Other people must have this very frustrating issue!!

    - Is SBS 2000 right for me? I am new to SBS 2000 and Exchange as an admin. I have used them for years, but never set them up. I am suggesting a recommendation that SBS be installed at my brother's law office. Here's the scenario: In the office there are 10 PCs running peer-to-peer. There is a file server installed. There are 2 partners in the office and each has a secretary. Each partner uses a laptop and a pda. The secretary syncs the pda with her local copy of Outlook. But each partner cannot use his laptop to see current Outlook appointments because they are on the secretary's system. My idea is to install SBS 2000 and create a domain. Each secretary could maintain the corresponding partner's calendar by opening it in Outlook. When the partner wants the PDA synced up the secretary can open the appropriate calendar (and any other folders) and sync it. The partner would also be able to see his own calendar in Outlook. Does this sound reasonable? Another option is to forego SBS and Exhange and have the secretary sync her Outlook to the pda, then have the partner sync the pda to his copy of Outlook. Still another option is to sync each copy of Outlook using Vaita's OSASync. I think they will get much better mileage out of SBS and Exchange.

And being the geek that I am, I've got the laptop, the cell phone, the digital camera for the trip. For a friend of the family, we are building them a new computer with Windows XP [yeah ... the Home version but they only need the computer for Home] and one of the major things we did was to enable the firewall on that dial up connection. Start, control panel, network connections, network card properties, click on the advanced tab and enable the firewall. When you visit friends and family this Christmas season, do your Holiday geek duty and just check out their computers, ensuring that they are patched, have an up to date antivirus. In fact, burn in XP sp1 and all security patches on a cdrom and help them keep their systems up to date. Yes, that's really geeky I know.... but all of us can help each other be a little more secure. If you want to know just HOW geeky I am.... I'm connecting to the web using my GPRS Nokia 6220 cell phone to send this email.

    - DNS Configuration Hi, Several of my customer's ISPs charge for DNS hosting. I would like to have my servers do it instead. I have customers with 12+ domain names and they will be charged a lot for this by their ISP. Rather than having network solutions point the domain name to the ISP's DNS it will be pointed to the SBS servers. I have several customers running SBS so I am hoping that I can use seperate servers for DNS redundancy. What I would like to ask is if anyone out there can give me or point me towards idiot proof instructions for how to do this on the SBS2000 server.

    - Internet failed! I am at a client site where their Internet connection had failed. It seems the router was the fault but the "administrator" here tried to fix it by changing IP addresses of the second NIC and even adding a third NIC in. I have restored a system state but unfortunately the latest one is the night after the changes first started. Anyway, I have now removed the 3rd NIC, set up the second to how it should work, ran ICW again (no change to ISA or Exchange) but it aint working! If I ping an IP I get an instant faillure, not even a time out. I have a system state backup from August but this caused more problems that it fixed. However the Internet was working, email and everything else so I am sure the problem is configuration or something that needs manually adjusting. Any help woud be great! My weekend is dwindling!

    - slow server connection hi.. situation: got a client with a sbs2k server. the server seems ok in most areas. thing is no one can connect if the server's nic is set to anything other than 10mps. even tho the card is 100/10. have replaced the cable. the one area that concerns me is that the server is kept in a cupboard with a large incoming power cable. but it is quite well shielded. My intention is to trial the server outside this area, but just in case does anyone have any other suggestions. btw the cat 5 run is less than 30 feet.

    - Antispam - SBS2000 - POP3 downloads... Hi all, Quick request for advice. Anyone got any pointers on anti-spam software that will operate effectively in the following set-up?: SBS2000 - Broadband Internet connection using 2 x NIC and Broadband Router Mail is downloaded via multiple POP3 mailboxes [5] Outgoing mail has a disclaimer added as per instructions on www.smallbizserver.net [so we have no SmallBusiness SMTP connector but two SMTP virtual servers configured] Trend C/S/M Suite in place Trialled Trend Scanmail eManager but felt it was average 'out of the box' and required a fair bit of ongoing configuration to operate reasonably. Have license for full Trend NeatSuite [only utilised the C/S/M elements thus far] - price was so close to C/S/M that it made sense really, especially if we end up going to SMTP mail further down the line. This is noted purely in case it may have any relevance. Ideally, we'd like something that links with Exchange [obviously] and would allow at least a degree of automatic 'white-listing' so that anyone our users send to would automatically be allowed in and never be tagged as spam. If it could automatically update its definitions and rules that would also be a benefit. We're not too concerned about outgoing content filtering as it's not really a concern in our particular set-up, so we don't particularly need something that is 'heavy' on that front. Hope that's enough info to start with. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, David Tag: Questions on the products that come with SBS Tag: 145521

    - XP clients way slow after Win2k server made DC I have a peer-to-peer network of 10 users that consists of: Win2k SP2 Server - member server XP Pro SP1 clients DSL Router giving out IP info via DHCP (clients access the Internet directly through this router) I wanted to setup an actual Domain so ran dcpromo to convert the server to a Domain Controller. I took all the defaults as far as sole domain controller and forest info. I wasn't sure about the DNS naming convention so used a FQDN of lawfirm.company.com. DNS installed without incident and I re booted. No alerts and I began setting up user accounts and a logon script. I noticed that the full name of my server was now server01.lawfirm.company.com and started getting nervous ( I was expecting the server name to just remain server01 I was able to join a workstation to the domain but found that my logon script wouldn't map any drives and more distressing, access to shares and computer resources crawled to a standstill. I re-ran dcpromo, demoted the DC to a member server (lost my user accounts I knew about) and uninstalled DNS but after a reboot noticed that the server name now had a trailing dot after it's name. What's more, any user accounts (i.e. local admin) now had a dot before the name (.administrator etc.). My main questions are: How come my clients couldn't quickly access the DC? Is it a client DNS issue because they get their DNS info from the router? Is this a querying issue? Have I screwed up my server as far as the "." being in the user accounts and hostname id's? I really would like to have this network take advantage of an authenticated environment but am afraid to re-run dcpromo and deal with client issues again. If I re-run dcpromo, do I have to identify my DC as FQDN? How short of a name can I get away with? Thank you for seeing something I obviously didn't and your help.

    - Hosting a website Got a few bugs in the system and need some help. First running: AD, DHCP,DNS, ISA, IIS, RAS and Exchange from SBS200 all behind a router. Router forwards certain port traffic to external interface. I have two websites setup in IIS. I did this because when I had the site in the wwwroot directory I lost the exchange instant messenger and Trend Micro Anti-virus managment console. So now, First is the local intranet handles Exchange instant messenger, Trend Micro Anti-virus and Exchange and listens on any unassigned port 80. The second is the public website and listens on the external interface IP address port 80. I'm able to view the public website by typing the the external interface ip address and the external internet address (www.mydomain.com). So the router is forwarding correctly and I have the DNS entry correct. I have ISA publishing rules for OWA and WWW. The WWW rule forwards the www.mydomain.com to the external interface IP address. The OWA forwards www.mydomain.com/exchange*, www.mydomain.com/exchweb*, and www.mydomain.com/public* to the internal interface IP address. The OWA rule also includes the external internet IP address, the external interface IP address and the internal interface IP address with the directories as well. The theory here was no matter what I typed domain name, public ip, external interface ip, internal interface ip with /exchange it would give the authentication window. PROBLEM1: I'm only able to access OWA via the internal interface IP address. Authentication window pops up and logs on fine. So somehow the ISA publishing rule isn't forwarding to the internal interface IP. Now, If I stop the public website and type in the public IP address I receive the standard page under construction and I'm able to send smtp mail again. If I type the public IP address + /exchange or www.mydomain.com/exchange I get the authentication window and I log on fine. ISA is listening for requests on the external interface IP address port 80. So I know that ISA is forwarding the information correctly and that I have the proper rules set up. PROBLEM2: How can I set my domain up to use my DNS server as the name server for both the site and mail? I have an Mailexchanger What changes do I need to make to the router, ISA, and the DNS server? I have a forward zone added for mydomain.com. And Host entries for DNS-internal interface IP address, MAIL-internal interface IP address, WWW-external ip address. Mail Exchanger- mail.mydomain.com. So I have valid internal ip address for dns.mydomain.com, mail.mydomain.com, www.mydomain.com. I think I'm close getting it all together, but I think I'm missing one or two steps. Any and all help is much appreciated. Robert Tag: Questions on the products that come with SBS Tag: 145506

    - Domains We're adding SBS 2003 to an existing network. We've reached the Domain name part of the set-up, but can't add the server to an existing domain. We get the message that the netbios domain name already exists. Creating a new domain name isn't an option, since it would require us to reconfigure all of our workstations. I called the support center, but found that it would cost me $245 to get beyond this install problem! Considering how much I've already paid for the product, this isn't acceptible.

    - SBS 2003 issues with adding to an existing domain Hi we are trying to replace our current sbs 2000 machine with a new sbs 2003 machine. We have a second Win2003 machine that is part of the domain. We removed the old sbs 2000 machine and installed 2003 it detected an existing domain and told us we could not install on an existing domain. So we installed with a new local domain. We then proceeded to demote the windows 2003 server and tried to add it to the existing SBS 2003 domain. We have not had success yet. We would really like to keep all user groups and security rights if possible? My questions is this: If we have an existing domain with a server 2000 or 2003, how do we add SBS 2003 to that network and migrate all the active directory settings or at least the user accounts. Or is there another way around this? Some of my clients are considering upgrading to Exchange Server and I'm trying to convince them that sbs 2003 would be much better for them, the only problem is adding it to their existing network with the minimal amount of setup. One example in particular is a client with 2 win2k servers one is for accounting the other is for Exchange test server they want to upgrade the demo exchange server with SBS 2003 but are very worried about anything being done to the other 2003 accounting box.

    - Compaq SBS Setup Hello, We have a Compaq ML350 server that we ordered with SBS 2000 preinstalled. I am a little confused though because on the start menu it says "windows 2000 server" not SBS server. Also, the licensing applet works like standard Win 2000 server in control panel. This issue came up because we recently ordered new licenses for the server and I was trying to install them. Is there something not setup correctly here? Would Compaq have not done the SBS install? Looking at the license sticker on the machine, it definitely says SBS server. Was there something we were supposed to have done to the server after receiving it? This server is production and cannot be re-done. Second issue.... We are setting up a new SBS 2K server for a large branch location (seperate domain, servers wont communicate etc) and I am doing the entire setup myself (no compaq) and I am confused because of the way the compaq server is setup and the way the new one looks - they are not similar and I was relying on the similarity to get me through the configuration. Basically on the new server, I installed the OS then ran the SBS wizard. I saw references to install procedures at www.smallbizserver.net and wanted to follow such, but I do not see any install steps on that website. Not sure if I am doing everything correctly. After setting up the new server, I do not see any 'Manage Computer' item on the start menu to install the licenses. I see Admin Console, but that doesnt seem to have anything about licensing. Have I done something wrong here already? This is fresh and can still be redone if it needs to be. Thanks for any help, Mike Tag: Questions on the products that come with SBS Tag: 145473

I have a question pertaining to ISA on a SBS server. Would it be better to
ask in the ISA group or here.

The question is how can I find out what user is surfing to a certain web
site?

ISA log will show you the Time, Destination and source IP Addresses.

You'll need the IP Address of the remote website, and the User logged
onto the Workstation at that time.
