    - How to Reinstall SBS IIS Directories I recently installed Windows Small Business Server 2003 and REALLY like the improvements over SBS 2000. However, I have somehow trashed the IIS directory structure and cannot access many of the CompanyWeb services. I have tried reinstalling the "Internal Web" from the install disks, but this did not help. Is there a tech article to walk me through a complete IIS SBS 2003 reinstall? If not, would the following work? * Uninstall SBS "Internal Web" * Uninstall IIS * Delete IIS directories * Reinstall IIS * Reinstall SBS "Internal Web" If there is a better way, I am open to any good suggestions.

    - easy ISA question? I'm running SBS2k. I'm working on trying to limit a packet filter to a specific range of external computers - not just one IP... (It works correctly right now with the "All remote computers" option, but I want to limit the remote access for security reasons)... So, after the packet filter is set up, if I choose properties on the Remote Computer tab, there is an option "This range of computers". Since my user has a dynamic IP - but it is always an IP within a certain range, can I setup a subnet/mask to only allow computers from her IP range? How do I do that? I'm not 100% how subnet and mask relate - I guess I expected the choice to be more of a range like 24.x.x.x to 24.y.y.y or something like that...

    - Unknown virus/trojan attack Hello all: I think that one of our XP workstations has been compromised with some sort of backdoor / trojan control that is NOT being detected by Symantec AVCE v 8.0 with the most current LiveUpdate defs. When users login, I can see a window titled "update" that starts up in the bottom taskbar next to the start button. If I click on it, I can freeze it for a few seconds, and one time I was able to read additional windows titled with expletives, etc. I have physically removed this machine from the network until it can be fixed. I have looked for unknown programs in the registry key Run, but I don't see anything unusual. This machine did have a virus named Hacktool that was quarantined by SAVCE. I'm wondering if its payload was deployed, but the tool is so new that it hasn't been identified as of yet. Any suggestions?

    - Anti-Virus Question We are running Symantec's Corporate Edition on the SBS2000 and all clients, where updates and schedules are tweaked on the server and relayed to all clients. At the moment, two machines on our LAN do not have AV on them, as the users insist that AV slows down their machine...in fact, he showed me a program he ran on a large database file (GB's worth) and it took double the amount of time than it did with no AV running. Although we disabled the Heuristics in Symantec's BloodHound technology etc..., it still made a difference. I am concerned about these two machines running no AV. I want to install a "light" AV so at least I know that the machines are covered but will not interupt or slow down programs being run (data processing!). Can someone help me and tell me what is a good "light" AV product to buy that is easy on processing power. The machines in question are Windows2000, SP4 patched with all updates and Blaster. The two guys VPN in a lot from home and abroad, so they could easily infect their machines! skc Tag: Restore Pub.edb from SBS 4.5 to SBS2000 Tag: 127102

    - Public Folder has unvisible owner - no access for other users Hi, I'm having problems with my public folders. After a complete SBS 2000 re-install (we had a major server crash last week) I've restored all mailboxes and public folders. The mailbox restore went ok, but all public folders now seem to have owners that do not exist on this new system: instead of a real username, in Outlook it displays 'NT User:S-1-5-21-32906815...' as the folder contact. No matter what I try, I cannot get access to the folders. It appears as though the invisible users have access only. I want to remove these invisible users and replace them by either an administrative user or one of our 'power users', like they were in the past. I've tried replacing the permissions in the Exchange Server Manager, and have 'everyone' having 'all rights', as well in Public Folders as in the Public Folder Tree, but that does not seem to change anything. I've searched Google and this newsgroup and although this question has been asked, I could not find a suitable answer. Can you help?

    - RAS No Domain Server could be found I have a new SBS 2000 server. The remote dial up clients could access the previous SBS 4.5 server. The remote system connects and is issued IP address and settings via DHCP correctly (DNS WINS mask). However, the whenever the user name, password and domain are issued the error "no domain server can be found" occurs. I can continue past this and ping the server. I can ping the Internet router (separate) and browse the Internet. The IP, WINS and DNS server addresses are correct. I can access the Exchange Server and send mail (Occasional retry required). If I use an invalid user name then I am advised of that. I have configured the hosts and lmhosts files on the clients with the SBS server IP and domain name details. This problem happens with Windows 98 SE clients and Windows XP Pro (SP1) clients. I have granted RRAS group policy access. I have configured other Windows 2000 SBS RAS servers before. (We have one in our office that I access regularly - I have tested remote client access to our office server without error). We have loaded Windows 2000 SP4. (had error before (SP3) and after) TCPIP only protocol at server or clients. Have released network card protocols on remote client pc network card. Running out of options - any suggestions? Appears to be a DNS or WINS issue. Client now needs to travel and requires remote access with 24 hours. Tag: Restore Pub.edb from SBS 4.5 to SBS2000 Tag: 127092

    - Client PCs lose their connection to the server Hi, I've been having problems with my SBS2000 setup since downloading Microsoft's upgrades relating to MsBlast. Every so often, my client PCs lose their connection to the server. In Explorer I get a red X across the drive so, for example, when I click on my K drive I get the message "K:\ drive is not accessible. The networkpath was not found". Clicking on the drive letters several times does not get back the connection so I don't think it's the time-out issue I've read about. It's not always every PC on the network that loses the connection but, more often than not, it is. The only way that I seem to be able to get around it is by rebooting all the machines, starting with the server. I haven't noticed that I am doing, or using, anything unusual in the sense that the only thing that has changed over the last few weeks is as a result of the Microsoft upgrade (coincidence?). I'm running SBS2000 with a maximum of four client PCs. The server has one NIC and has the ADSL modem attached. Three of the PCs run Windows 2000 and the fourth runs Windows 98. The latter was not on this morning when the latest two events happened. Any ideas? Andy Tag: Restore Pub.edb from SBS 4.5 to SBS2000 Tag: 127091

    - Backup Software Choice Hello I am going to be backing up our SBS server to a DAT or DLT. I am trying to decide on backup software at the best cost. Backupexec is a common one but comes with various add-ons for different functions. A bit complicated. The other I have looked at is Tapeware. They have a product called the Small Business Server Pack. It appears easier and cheaper. Questions. Does anybody have any preferences ? If so why. Is backup software bundled with backup devices these days ? Does the "full" backup / disaster recovery (as indicated with HP drives)....really work, and is it the software that does it ?

    - Odd internet connectivity problem What is happening is periodically the internet will go down. The setup is a dual nic to a router as per Merv's excellent instructions. When we make some investigations here is what we find. 1. we can ping the external NIC. (192.168.16.2) 2. We cant ping the router (192.168.16.1) 3. We reboot the router and we have the same problem. 4. we Reboot the server and we can then ping the router and the internet starts to work. I am assuming that this is due to the fact the server can ping the router after a reboot. Any suggestions would appreciated. TIA Tag: Restore Pub.edb from SBS 4.5 to SBS2000 Tag: 127088

    - Upgrade SBS 4.5 to SBS2000 on new hardware - Questions I've read the MS document on how to do this, as listed in many replies to this class of question. However, I don't see a method to do this whereby you do not need to remove/join domain on clients. My Client has 50 pcs, and I don't want to remove/join, as well as setup the users profiles on PCs. MY Client has software installed that requires special settings for the users. Creating a new Domain SID would mean that each user gets a new profile on their workstation. This would cause me to have to perform many steps on each PC after moving to SBS2000. I thought that perhaps the following would work: 1) Install Win2K Server as DC on existing domain. 2) Remove SBS 4.5 from network. 3) Install SBS2000 on Win2K server box to keep AD info. or 1) Remove SBS4.5 from network. 2) Install SBS2000 on new server. 3) Use AD Migration tool to migrate data from existing NT BDC. Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. Again, my goal is to keep the domain SID while moving to a new server. Thanks Sean Trimm Tag: Restore Pub.edb from SBS 4.5 to SBS2000 Tag: 127049

    - Upgrade from Win 98 client to XP PRO client for SBS2000 Can this be done seemlessly by preserving all the settings in Outlook and the fax client? Upgrade utility tells me Outlook won't migrate and has to be uninstalled ! @#$#@! What? Isn't there an easy migration path? Thought I would give it a try. Backed up Win 98 partition, Deleted Outlook and fax client. Ran into problems with Outlook on XP after upgrade and decided for now to restore my previous Win 98 partiton. To my surprise the fax SERVER disabled itself on the SBS2000 and is flagged red in the services. Attempted to restart the service on the server. WILL NOT START. None of the settings were changed on the server at any time. Help! - Thanks Tag: Restore Pub.edb from SBS 4.5 to SBS2000 Tag: 127006

    - Transfering SBS to new server I have an old server that is running SBS 2000 (It's actually an upgrade from SBS 4.5). I am going to buy a new server and want to use the same installation disks to set up the new server in the same way, with SBS 2000, having initially installed SBS 4.5 and upgraded to SBS 2000. Am I going to have difficulties with having 2 SBS servers on the same domain? Is there any info on transfering a domain from one SBS 2000 server to a new SBS 2000 server? Thanks.

You can restore the Priv.edb and Pub.edb from an Exch5.5 into an Exch2K
provided that you do have the same Server/Site/Org names from the two
servers. The process is essentially not any different than if you were
restoring from a previous backup on the Exch2K server. Just follow the same
steps for on offline restore of Exch2k.
