    - Employee leaving a bit of advice. Ok I'm the SBS admin for the company that I currently work for. I'm going to be leaving here at the end of the month. What I need to know is; Is there a way I can delete my user account of the SBS server and either delete or forward all mail sent to my e-mail address. In an ideal world there would be no evidence of my ever being here but all mail sent to jim@mycompany.com would either be forwarded to another e-mail addie or simply deleted from the server as if it never existed. I know I could do it using Wayne Smalls "How to redirect mail", method here; http://www.sbsfaq.com/FAQ/category.asp?category=Exchange%202000 but I'd rather not leave my user accounts on the server, neither would my boss I suspect. Any suggestions appreciated. Jim Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151413

    - Network Share through VPN Hi everyone, I'm faced with a big dilema & hope someone can help me. After eventually getting a VPN set up, I discovered that the Remote client can access all shares except the Access database. Unfortunately this is the resource that's needed by 4 remote users & why we chose SBS 2000 for VPN. The error message leads to Kb article http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;810582&Product=acc2002 It's basically saying we need to develop the access front end on the Remote Clients. We don't have the resources or money for this & i was wondering if there were any alternale solutions? The database can be accessed through VPN & TS ( why this way & not VPN? ) but this means he has Administrator priveleges. Is it possible to allow a Remote user with Domain Users access a TS session? What are the alternatives? TIA Gary Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151410

    - Event Log Resources Hi, I have recently taken a more proactive and thorough view to security and server performance and so have taken the time over the last few weeks to really get into the event logs and read every single entry attempting to really understand what is happening at every single step. The problem I have come up against is that I cannot seem to find many decent resources on what individual Event Log entries mean. I have searched online and most importantly combed Microsoft's Knowledgebase and site but have not always been satisfied with what I have found. The main resources I currently use are: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto http://www.eventid.net/ I am also looking for a book that may contain this information. I would appreciate if anyone would suggest other places I can find this kind of info. Many Thanks James Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151407

    - submissions to symantec blocked I have Norton Corporate edition installed on my SBS. Part of the setup is Central quarantine. The standard install submits any virus found to Symantec. However my SBS is reporting the following error: Event Type: Error Event Source: Central Quarantine Event Category: None Event ID: 34053 Date: 12/02/2004 Time: 06:12:55 User: N/A Computer: PROSSORNT01 Description: An error was detected in a Central Quarantine sample.

I understand this is to do with ports being open in ISA.

If you cannot connect to both ports, verify that the ports are not being blocked by your firewall. I am currently able to reach the first but not the second. How do I open the required port to be able to do this. Regards Richard Prossor Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151405

    - Microsoft Exchange Server Product Support Bulletin Got this in an email from Microsoft PSS today and thought I would share it with the rest of you who may not have had the opportunity to have one emailed to you. Steve Exchange Security Best Practices: As part of our commitment to help customers improve and maintain security, Microsoft Product Support Services works to provide proactive information that can help customers implement best security practices. With the recent activity in mass mailer e-mail worms, we wanted to advice you of some Exchange security best practices that you can use to improve your security and availability. Specifically, we wanted to let you know of some best practices around: . File-level virus scanners . Disaster recovery . Closing open relays . Configuring attachment blocking using Microsoft Outlook File-level Virus Scanners When using a "File-Level" virus scanner make sure to exclude the following directories: . Exchange 2000/2003: The Exchsrvr\MDBData and SRS directories on all drives. . Exchange 5.5: The Exchsrvr\MDBData and DSAData directories on all drives File-level scanners scan a file when it is used or at a scheduled interval, and may lock or quarantine an Exchange log or database file while Exchange tries to use the file. This may cause a sever failure in Exchange 5.5 / 2000 / 2003 Server, and may also generate -1018 errors. Please also pay special attention on your Exchange 2000 servers not to scan the M: drive. File-Level scanning of your M: drive may cause calendar items to disappear from users folders. The articles listed below should help answer any questions you may have regarding Exchange Antivirus Issues. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328841 - XADM: Exchange and Antivirus Software http://support.microsoft.com/?id=298551 - XADM: Large Number of Transaction Logs Created http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300608 - XADM: A "C1041737" Error and an Event ID 470 Message May Be Displayed http://support.microsoft.com/?id=298924 - XADM: Do Not Back Up or Scan Exchange 2000 Drive M Exchange Disaster Recovery Do you need to recover data from a backup (private or public store) and have questions about how to setup the recovery environment or the restore itself? What do you need to setup for Active Directory and DNS? Do you need to have the same Organization, Admin group, Server, and Store names as the production environment? These articles will help guide you to solutions to these questions: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258243 - How to Back Up and Restore an Exchange 2000 Computer http://support.microsoft.com/?id=257415 - Running a Disaster Recovery Setup http://support.microsoft.com/?id=241635 - Disaster Recovery Includes Metabase Backup and Restore http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313184 - Disaster Recovery of Information Store on Exchange Server White Paper for Exchange 2003 Disaster Recovery http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=df144af6-bee5-4b35-866a-557e25fe2ba1&displaylang=en White Paper for Exchange 2000 Disaster Recovery http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=6E55DD49-8A6C-4F30-947E-BDE95917F585 White Paper for Exchange 5.5 Disaster Recovery http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=df586628-3abe-40c3-8e8f-beb4122de3d7&displaylang=en A best practice in the area of data recovery is to test your backup files monthly and become familiar with the processes itself. Should it ever become necessary to restore data to your production environment, your familiarity with the procedure will lessen the downtime of your servers. Closing an Open Relay Top causes for open relays with Microsoft Exchange Server - SMTP service is live on the internet and not enforcing authentication to relay - SMTP server has accounts locally or part of a domain that have poor passwords or no password at all. These articles should help guide you to configuring and preventing your Microsoft Exchange Server from becoming an open relay and how to look for key clues in the future to ensure it doesn't relay. http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310380 - HOW TO: Prevent Exchange 2000 from Being Used as a Mail Relay in Windows 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324958 - HOW TO: Block open SMTP Relaying and clean up Exchange Server (article can be used with Exchange 2000 and Small Business Server) http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300580 - Cannot send E-Mail Messages to a growing list of domains http://support.microsoft.com/?id=313395 - HOW TO: Examine relay restrictions for anonymous SMTP connections and filter unsolicited E-mail messages in Exchange 2000 Server Here is a list of known accounts that have potential of being compromised and should either be disabled or should have a strong password.

Webmaster Admin Root Test Master Web www administrator backup server data abc guest Configuring Attachment Blocking Using Microsoft Outlook Outlook 2000 (Pre-SP2), Outlook 98 and Outlook 97 Outlook 2000 (Pre-SP2), Outlook 98 and Outlook 97 do not have mechanisms to block attachments. If you are using one of these versions virus/worm protection must be provided on the Exchange Server. It is recommended that you upgrade to Outlook 2000 SP2 to provide this protection for the client. Outlook 2003, Outlook XP and Outlook 2000 SP2 By default, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2002 (XP) and Outlook 2000 SP2 provide an attachment security feature. This security feature is designed to increase the security protection for certain types of e-mail attachments. This feature provides explicit warning language when attachments are opened, and you have to save the attachment to the file system before opening it. This can help you avoid accidentally releasing viruses that hide in certain file types. While Microsoft does not recommend reducing e-mail client security levels, there may be instances when an organization wants to customize or remove the additional protections provided by Microsoft Outlook. You can modify default security settings for the Microsoft® Office Outlook® client by using the Outlook Security template, which you install as a form in Outlook. To implement this see the following article: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290499 - OL2002: Administrator Information About E-Mail Security Features Other related articles and resources: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290497 - OL2002: You Cannot Open Attachments Customizing Security Settings by Using the Outlook Security Template http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2003/three/ch12/OutG03.htm Closing We hope this information is helpful as you work to implement security to protect against mass mailer e-mail worms.

    - Internal OWA producing error message Hi, I'm trying to get OWA running internally on an SBS and I get a "You are not authorized to view this page" 403 error message. I'm guilty of having this server setup with my ISP's DNS servers on the external card, which I'm a little afraid to change. Other than that, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I do have port blocks on 80 and 443, because the idea is to access this internally or via a VPN externally. I've been through several documents and threads, but I can's seem to get at the problem. Is there a sure fire way or wizard to get this going? Thanks! Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151384

    - Replacing Network Card - it's gone but NOT forgottton I want to add a gigabit network card on server. Everything started fine. Added Intel Card started up and had numerous errors - (bad card likely) I shut down pulled the card and restarted. Now Netlogon and Exchange do not start on reboot, I need to start them manually.

Also, when REPLACING a NIC are there any steps that I should take (disable or change IP) before shutting down and adding the new card? M Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151383

    - Publishing website on member server Hi Group, I have a customer who has a web application that must sit on it's own webserver. I have tried to publish this website to the outside world, but with no joy. (SBS2003 Premium) The internal webserver is 192.168.0.3, the SBS 2003 server is 192.168.0.2, we have a fixed external IP on a 2nd NIC. If you http://192.168.0.3 the website loads internally. The website is in the 'default web site' in IIS. The member server is Windows 2000 server. What are we doing wrong.

Have disabled the Satellite connected NIC (with old default gateway), configured ADSL router with NAT and now have only a single network card in the server with the ADSL router as the default gateway. However twice in the last week the users have complained of lost internet connectivity. Upon inspection there is no default gateway set. Inserting it again and all comes back to life.

    - Cant receive SMTP mail from new domains We recently added 2 new web domains in addition to the 2 longstanding domains we have registered. We can receive an smtp email feed via exchange on our original domains, but the new ones is getting blocked. We use SBS2k, fully patched including ISA, with 2 NICs, the external NIC connecting directly to the ADSL Router - no external firewall. I have set up the new domains in recipient policies, and that appears to work correctly for internal users. Our ISP suggests that their server, which they confirm is pointed at our SBS2K servers external NIC IP is blocking access to their smtp server. They have confirmed they are unable to Telnet to our server, and suggest that I need to enable them as a trusted domain. I didn't have to do anything to set up my original 2 domain addys for them to recieve email from the same ISP, so why can't it receve the additional email domains?

    - Outbound emails stuck in queue Hello, I am not able to have outbound email flowing anymore. This started happening a week after we had to change our server external IP. Things were working fine for a week until now. Our setting is : SBS2000 Exchange 2000 SP3 W2K SP4 I tried to run ICW but unfortunately it doesn't change anything I tried to setup the "SMTP virtual server" to use weither our ISP mailhost ( by setting the fully qualified domain and smart host to our ISP mail server name ) or by using the server itself SERVERNAME.MYDOMAIN.COM I also tried to setup the "Smallbusiness SMTP connector" to use our ISP mailhost as well. Without any success. I also tried to restart the server multiple times. When checking the Queue in the "SMTP virtual server" all the emails are being queued or in a "retry" state. When I tried to connect from the command prompt to an outside mail server ( telnet mail.outsideserver.com 25 ) I get a successful connection. When I setup outlook express and create a "dummy account" to send email using our ISP mail relay , things are working fine. Any idea ? Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151309

    - Upgrading to Small Business Server 2003 I am assisting a small business in upgrading from Windows 2000 to Small Business Server 2003. I was told we were going to have to format the drives and do a fresh install. I will have a complete tape backup to restore data, but will I be able to restore my Active Directory information? What else must I do to prepare my clients for this upgrade? The documentation I have found talks about migrating from 1 server to another, but we only have 1 server and do not have the $$ to purchase another just to upgrade the OS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. There are 5 clients and about 30 user accounts. So it would not be a great deal if I had to recreate them all, but I was hoping their may be an easy way to restore my AD info into SBS 2003 I am also changing the server from a single drive to a raid 5 configuration, so reformatting the drives are not an issue, because I have to do this anyway in order to get RAID setup.

    - CRITICAL ACTION NEEDED FOR SBSers <<<<<How to patch your Network>>>>>> There is a security bulletin 04-007 that just came out. It's a nasty one. So here's some steps you need to take NOW... SOON. 1. Reboot your server before patching. [okay I'll admit I don't always do that, so I'll let you slide on that one] 2. Manually go into services and shut off Exchange as a precaution [start, admin tools, services, anything with Microsoft Exchange, click STOP] 3. Using whatever tool of your choice [PREFERABLY www.shavlik.com hfnetchkpro limited or MBSA which scans for all sorts of patches but in this case with 04-007, Windows update will do just fine] scan for patches and apply them. 4. REBOOT 5. Scan again to ensure that the patch has been applied. We cannot stress enough how critical it is for all SBSers to reboot. I've just finished up my SBS2000 network tonight and all is fine and as soon as I post messages to various groups.... I'll be patching here at home. -- http://www.sbslinks.com/really.htm Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151273

    - Can anyone tell me where I can get these licenses We have MS SBS 2000 and 50 CALS, just bought the upgrade to SBS2003 Premium. I am hoping to do the upgrade next weekend, but every place I called said they do not have the CAL Upgrade licenses because microsoft hasn't shipped it yet. Has anyone upgraded yet and if so where did you get the licenses? Thanks, Douglas Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151268

    - MyDoom: Undelivered mail Since the MyDoom.A virus has been in action I have been receiving up to 250 undeliverable messages to my postmaster every day! The emails are addressed to random names which of course do not exist within the organisation. Previously I only got about 10 undeliverable per day. Is there something I can do to stop this? Is it best to send a NDR to the senders or should the email just be dropped with no response? I would appreciate any suggestions, tips or bad news. Thanks! Tippy. Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151264

    - Network Connections In Windows XP and 2003, while in the Network Connections view you have the option to right click the connection and click repair. What is the equivalent of this command in SBS 2000? This fixed a problem one of my networks, but now I have the same exact problem but cannot repair the connection. Help needed ASAP, business E-mail and Website offline. Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151257

    - System path and MDB log files I am at a client that is currently running SBS 2k on a system with 2 18Gb mirrored drives and 3 36Gb RAID5. The MDB and stream files are on the D: drive and the OS, application, Log files and Chk (system path location) are located on the C drive. Was this set up poorly? Should I move the logs to the D as well. I noticed last nite that the logs have been filling up the C drive and not beign removed. I am doing a full backup on Exchange 2x a week and cyclical is turned off. Should these logs be deleted? Which ones could I start deleting? Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151239

    - Can you switch Terminal Services from application mode to Remote mode on SBS safely? Wow! I just another inherited another SBS 2000 with some tricky weirdness. The previous IT company did the following (I only need help with the last): 1. Installed SBS on an old box with a three year old single hard drive! (owner of company said she would have bought ten if it woud have helped) 2. Named the local domain exactly the same as their external website! 3. Disabled ISA so he could sell them a fancy firewall with a ton of ports wide open! 4. Installed Terminal Services in application mode just for the fun of it! I wouldn't be surprised if this server has one ear and answered to "Lucky." Sorry, I had to vent. Anyway, has anyone heard of reverting TS back to remote mode? I would like to offer this feature, and I can't install certain features of Symantec SBS 8.1 AV because the server is in application mode. I didn't know if this is terribly risky or not. Thanks!

    - OT: Outlook Phone Messages Sorry for being off topic but I was wondering if anyone has used a Phone Messages program that works well with Outlook and Exchange. I have a client who would like to have their secretary take all phone messages using the computer and have the messages show up in each person's inbox. Thanks, John Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151229

    - Outlook client on SBS 2003 server I am wondering if it is safe to run an Outlook client on an SBS2003 server if I implement dll/com redirection. Despite the warning when you start Outlook, Q articles on MS web site seem to indicate that you simply need to copy mapi32.dll to the same directory as outlook.exe and create a blank file called outlook.exe.local. Any thoughts on this? If my rational is correct, what about mapisvc.inf? Would a matching copy of that file need to reside in the same directories as mapi32.dll? Thanks for any help, Joe Welna Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151223

    - Thank you to all Just a quick note to everyone who gave me advice on getting our servers up and running, first ever SBS installation. It is a great feeling getting them up and running and being used even though they are not working 100 % yet but are getting the job done at the moment. Regards Antony Catella Tag: Reinstall SBS2000 Tag: 151219

Is it possible to migrate SBS2000 over to a new
computer and keep the same internal domain name, profiles, etc. Our server
is starting to die on us and I would like to reinstall SBS2000 on a new
server.

Thanks,
Jasper

if you use the same FQDN then you can't be plugged into the same network
with the other machine on but profiles should move ok.
