SBS2k, VERITAS 9, Backup Exec SQL Svr Backup
I feel like a beginner at times and I have a basic question that perhaps
you've run across in the past.
Using Veritas 9.0 to backup an SBS2K server. Looked at the backup
"selections" and noticed that "Microsoft SQL Server "BKUPEXEC" shows up in
the list underneath the server, and there is a "/" blue diagonal in the box
stating that this is selected to be backed up.
But when I look at the job history, there are 0 files, 0 folders in this
set.
Have another imaging program that also uses MSDE and this, too, is listed in
the selections but no files or folders are backed up.
What am I missing? I know the files are getting backed up.
Is this because MSDE is being used instead of the full blown SQL software?
Or there is nothing worth backing up, SQL server wise?

Put Server WAN on Public IP Address?
I'm considering putting the server's WAN NIC onto the public IP address we
heve registered. I'm concerned though, that this will allow hackers into
the server. We are using Excange SMTP mail and are running 2-3 VPN
connections into the office.
Can anyone give their opinions on whether it's wise to put the server on
the 'net or is it best to add an appliance (like SonicWall or another
firewall) in front of the server?
Thanks for your comments.

ADSL Router for SBS2k
Hi all,
Just looking for any recommendations for a requirement we have:
SBS2k - configured with 2 x NIC - ADSL on external NIC - Router and Modem
presently
We're having some issues which we suspect are the Router and are
investigating alternatives. Requirements are noted below:
1] Either a Router/Modem combination or Router with in-built connection to
ADLS line
2] Router must have capability for VPN termination on-board [we have demo
equipment on the external side of our SBS box that needs to be available for
demo to non-domain users] - therefore these users will VPN onto the
Broadband Router to access the demo kit
3] Remote LAN users will set-up a primary VPN to the Broadband Router with a
secondary VPN tunnel through this primary VPN and onto the SBS box's
external NIC
If anyone has implemented such a solution or could recommend either a
Router/Modem or Router with ADSL connection on-board, this would be
appreciated.
Regards,

AD You do not have permission to change password Error
I receive this error when users log on:
You do not have permission to change your password.
I've followed the instructions below:
However, users who choose not to change their passwords when the Password
Change Notification message appears (by clicking No) are logged on with
their old passwords and then can change their passwords. This system
behavior occurs when the Everyone group hasn't been granted the Change
Password right on the user object. Users can't change their passwords over
the null session connection (anonymous logon relies on the Everyone group to
carry out this action) established between the workstation and a domain
controller. Instead, an authenticated session is required to change a
password (i.e., users must be logged on to change their passwords).To change
the permissions setting for the Everyone group, take the following steps:
1. Start the AD Users and Computers snap-in (Start, Programs, Administrative
Tools, Active Directory Users and Computers).
2. Select the View menu and enable Advanced Features.
3. Right-click the container hosting the user object to which you want to
grant the Change Password right (e.g., Users), then click Properties.
4. Select the Security tab. Ensure that the Everyone group is listed in the
Name box. If it isn't, click Advanced, then add the Everyone group to the
list from the Advanced Access Control Settings dialog box. If the Everyone
group is listed, click Advanced.
5. Click the Everyone group in the list, then click View/Edit to edit the
group's permissions. In the Apply Onto box, click User Objects. In the
Permissions section, select the Allow check box for "Change Password."
6. Click OK to accept the changes.
However users still can't change passwords...Anyone know what I could be
missing?

SBS 2003 OWA Calendar not working
I have recently set up a new SBS 2003 server behind a
firewall and have configured port forwarding to enable
access to Outlook Web Access from the Internet.
Users are able to connect and log in OK and get to their
mailbox, and the Basic version works fine. But the
premium version calendar does not work at all, we are
just getting a "View Updating" hourglass which never
times out or gives an error message.
This does not happen if we access OWA from the browser on
the server itself on a Remote Desktop Session but still
does not work if we connect via VPN to the Server
directly, rather than through port forwarding.
Either there is some problem with the firewall, I have
not enabled enough ports or there is something on the
client Machines (Windows XP Pro running Outlook 2000)
that is stopping it working.
I am really hoping that someone has a solution for this
as we were hoping to use OWA at remote sites to avoid the
complexity of setting up VPN and direct client
connections.
Any ideas appreciated.

SBS2003-Messed up profile copy
G'day,
I was called in to help fix a blown SBS2003 Installation. As the 4th
person called in, they have allready really messed things up.
Somebody set them up with a home gateway router and only one NIC in
the server and who knows how they answered the install wizatrd. They
tried to join the PC's to the domain but didn't realize what a
computer name is or what a user is. Quite a mess since they did this
same abortive domain join on 4 of 5 clients. I have added a second
NIC and re-run server setup. Joined the one pc they didn't screw up.
I absolutely love the new profile copy routine! It is just fantastic
and something sorely missed in SBS2000. Anyhow, on the "bad" clients,
the profile copy routing "never ran" according to the user. I do see
where 2 temporary and sparcely populated profiles with __sbs__ type
names were created on each of these PC's. When I try to re-run the
web-based profile copy routine it will not let me, says the profile
permissions must be changed to allow access. I open up all
permissions on the old profile and am logged in as administrator, no
help. I am thinking of disjoing the domain (go back to workgroup) and
re-joing to re-invoke the process? Anyone suggestions? Tag: Rerouting an email Tag: 152471

Exchange, Virtual Memory, too much RAM? Event ID 9582
Hello,
We're running Small Business Server 2000, and (I think) Exchange service
pack 3.
In November I increased the RAM on the server from 512MB to 2.5GB. A week
after I did this I realized that the paging file needed to be manually
increased. I chose to move the paging file off of the C drive onto another
partition.
About six weeks later we started getting warning messages in the Application
log:
Event ID 9582, MSExchangeIS
The virtual memory necessary to run your Exchange server is fragmented in
such a way that performance may be affected. It is highly recommended that
you restart all Exchange services to correct this issue.
That seemed simple enough, so I rebooted and the messages went away.
Now they're back. I'm getting Event ID 9582 warnings every hour, and two
Event ID 9582 errors on Saturday and one today.
I've been poking around MS website, and have just started monitoring
MSExchangeIS VM Largest Block Size.
I've also read something about antivirus programs competing with Exchange
over memory, which results in memory fragmentation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Do we have too much RAM?

We are running a SBS2000 server with Exchange 2000. The

sending. I entered the IP address of both computers into

worked for a couple times and then it started happening
again. This time I just shut the computers down and let
them sit for about 10 minutes, started them back up and
then they sent without errors. Now I am having the same
