    - Wrong version of MDAC 2.8 is installed on SBS2000 server. Vulnerability in Microsoft Data Access Components Could Allow Remote Code Execution (927779) patch is failling becuse of wrong version of MDAC 2.8 SP1 is installed on sbs2000 server. when I checked with component checker version 2. it identify as MDAC 2.8 SP1 ON WINDOWS XP SP2. ODBC Data Sources administrator also gives error message that ODBC resource dll is different version than the administrator. I don't know when and how it happen that SBS2000 installed windows XP version of MDAC 2.8 SP1. but I found out that after I installed SQL200 server on SBS2000. I try to install windows 2000 SP4 version of MDAC 2.8 SP1 but it didn't change any. Thanks in advance.

    - CAL's Problem Hi All, Please help me in the following problem, Before about three years ago I bought a new HP ProLiant ML350 G2 Server with Microsoft Windows 2000 - Small Business Server Also I got 2 disks of CAL's ( 10 clients ) Few days ago, I decided to re-format the server, The problem is: After installing the windows 2000 SBS, and when I want to add the CAL's it's always giving me this message "The disk is not formatted; do you want to format it now?" (or something like this) The same message I got when I try to open the floppy with another computer This means that the floppy disks are damage. By the way, I tried to contact Microsoft - Amman Office, but there was no help Also I tried to call HP - Amman Office, and there is no help also. After a lot of search, finally I found this article: SBS: Client Add Pack Disk Replacement Process Another problem that I couldn't call the mentioned number from Jordan (may be because it's a toll-free number!!) Please advice. Thanks in advance Fadi Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179081

    - Client Web request URL is altered I had Netflow Analyzer software installed some days ago on the server. After a power outage, all the systems restarted. Since then the client PCs can not access Internet, whatever URL they requested, they always be redirected to URL/netflow/jspui/index.jsp. I removed the Netflow Analyzer software, still the same thing. Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem? We are running Small Business Server 2000 on the domain server and Windows XP on the client PCs. Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179074

    - SBS2000 Sp1a and Outlook 2002 Hi All I'm running sbs2000 with 10 clients. Some of the clients run Outlook 2000 and others run Outlook 2003 (we don't have enough liceneses for Outlook 2003). There is a known issue with Outlook 2000 where it hangs at shutdown, if you had opened a mailbox that was previously used with Outlook 2003. Strange behaviour but there doesn't seem to be an available fix from MS other than upgrading Outlook to a newer version. I have read that the SBS2000 SP1a includes the upgrade for Outlook 2002 if you order the CD kit. I would like to ask you if this information is correct and if we are legally entitled to upgrade Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2002 using SP1a. If so, do you know how can I order the CD kit for SP1a? Thank you very much for your time Pedro Ramilo Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179070

    - help on SBS config and licensing Any help would be very much appreciated... We have SBS 2K w/ 5 CALs. Right now we're only using it as a file server - I don't know how to classify this but we also have an MS Access DB in the SBS that at most 3 users access at one time so I'm not sure how the CAL's apply here. We're not using any other of the components but are planning to. Here's what we want to be able to do: 1) We want to be able to host an internet app, asp.net w/ sqlserver 2K backend. Authentication will be handled by the application for a list of users in a db table. 2) Use the same sqlserver 2K as backend for a client/server app. Security is also handled by the app for a list of users in a db table. 3) Use Active Directory only for controlling file/printer sharing purposes. Our emails are hosted by a third party. >From reading previous posts, please affirm if this would be OK for us or not: 1) upgrade sbs2K to sbs2003 premium to be able to use sqlserver. I'm thinking this will solve the licensing we require for our web app. 2) Not sure though about the CAL's - since we already have 5 from sbs2K, and if we upgrade to sbs2003 w/ 5 CAL's, would that give us 10 CAL's in total? as I understood CAL's can be per-user or per-device (or per-pc, we do not have any roaming access), we need about 10 CAL's in a per-user config since we probably will only have at most 7 users accessing the server at a time, plus the web app. not sbs related but might as well throw it in if anybody can help - does anybody know how much (ballpark) the open value licensing would be for abt 15 installations/users of XPPro and OfficeXP/03? if we go retail, it's abt 200/user for XPPro. Thanks. Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179056

    - Licensing Question -adding WK3 Server We are going to be adding a Windows 2003 R2 Server as a member server to an existing SBS2000 domain. The 2003 Server will run an application that approx 15 XP workstations will access. Those same workstations, plus 5 others, will access the SBS 2000 Server as they always have. 1. How do we check how many CALs we currently have installed on for the SBS2000 Server? We have been reviewing posts and articles concerning whether or not we need the following: 1. A CAL for the Windows 2003 Server to be added to the domain. 2. CALs for the workstations to access the Windows 2003 Server, while still accessing the SBS2000 server. Here is a thread from 2005 that indicates that we do not need any more CALs for anything. http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000/browse_thread/thread/86cfb16e4f0846fa/bb61eb3ce253b4b1?lnk=st&q=CALs+windows+2003+server+sbs+2000+domain&rnum=6#bb61eb3ce253b4b1 Also, here is an excerpt from Microsoft KB Article 327644, dated October 2006 The license agreement for the SBS 2000 client access license pack says, "This CAL also authorizes you to access and use the services and functionality of a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server that is in the same domain as the Server Software." Although it is not specifically stated, you are also allowed to access any computers that are running Windows Server 2003 in the same domain as the SBS computer. The reference to Windows Server 2003 was not included in the license agreement because Windows Server 2003 was not a released product at the time. There are no plans to update the text of the license agreement." Can anyone clarify what we need to do for proper licensing of this setup? Thanks Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179040

    - Configure e-mail addresses for a distribution list Hi, I'm trying to configure the e-mail addresses of a couple of users in SBS 2000 / Exchange 2000, but I'm having difficulties. I have a distribution list that delivers (POP3) e-mail from all@domain.com to three Exchange users. This is working fine. What I would like to do is configure these three users so that they are hable to send e-mail as "all@domain.com". If one of these three users answers to an e-mail to all@domain.com, the answer should go from "all@domain.com". In the administration console, in the User's panel, I have successfully configured one of these users to use "all@domain.com". Nevertheless, when I try to add this same SMTP address to another user I get "This e-mail already exists in this organization" (ID no: c10312e7). What's the standard way of doing this? How can I have different users share the same e-mail address to answer to e-mail? Thanks in advance! S=E9rgio Nunes Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179026

    - Complicated SBS Upgrade Issue We currently have a SBS 2000 installation, (1) Windows 2000, (2) Windows 2003 Std servers. The SBS 2000 and Windows 2000 servers are both DC's, which I'm not sure how this happened, because from all documentation it can't. The previous admin stated he worked with MS Support and was able to modify the registry or AD or whatever to allow this second DC. The question is we are upgrading to Exchange 2003 on a Windows Std 2003 box and am wondering if I install Exchange on the 2003 box as a member server how the forstprep and domainprep for Exchange will affect our current structure? Especially with the two DC's one being SBS. The second issue I'm concerned with is the AD upgrade from 2000 to 2003. Should I upgrade the AD and promote a 2003 box to DC before or after the Exchange installation? Thirdly, I don't have a test environment to perform any such upgrades on. Should this be a major concern? If so what is the best way to create one? Please advise, any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179008

    - file rights issue... I am not sure if this is an issue related to Windows 2000 file security or not but thought I'd post my issue here to see if anyone has experienced this type of thing before. We use an accounting package called Business Visions (BV). The version of BV we are running uses an SQL DB engine called Pervasive SQL to access the data. The pervasive server engine is running as a service on our Windows 2000 SQL server - which is also where the accounting data is stored (not part of the SQL server database). There are no conflicts with both of these SQL products running on the same machine. Accounting users run the Business Visions application either locally (on their domain Windows XP workstations) or through a Windows 2003 terminal server session. When the BV application starts it automatically kicks off a Pervasive SQL client - which then accesses the accounting data on the Windows 2000 server through the pervasive SQL gateway service running there. This all works very well - as long as the 'everyone' group has been given full permissions to the accounting data. Since we can not have our accounting data available to the 'everyone' group :-), I need to figure out WHY this is so... As soon as I remove the 'everyone' group, leaving me with the other requried groups there - (and they have also been given full access), the users are unable to access the data through BV! I even tried having them browse to the actual data folders and create a new file, rename a file etc... and all those rights appear to be ok - so I do not know what difference adding the 'everyone ' group makes - but it is certainly changing something! As a side note, we recently migrated this accounting data from an NT 4.0 SP6 machine and we had NO problems with file access at all when the data was on that machine. However, the NT machine was not part of the domain - it was it's own workgroup - so no domain rights applied there. Now that we have moved the data to a Windwos 2000 machine in our domain, windows domain security rights now apply and we are having the problems. Has anyone ever seen this type of a problem before?? Business Visions tech support can not figure it out. At least not the techs that I have talked to. It fails when BV is run on an XP machine (locally) and through a Win2K3 terminal servers session. The users do have rightsd to the folders because they can browse there and make changes to files in there. I am at a loss!!! Help! Thanks, Brad Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179007

    - Windows Firewall group policies missing? All- Running SBS2000. Trying to add TCP 2967 and UDP 38293 to the "Windows Firewall: Define port exceptions" group policy setting in order to get Symantec AV Enterprise 10 to work. I don't see this policy listed either in Domain Profile or Standard Profile. I see and have enabled the "Windows Firewall: Allow local port exceptions", but I don't see where I can add the ports in GP. What am I doing wrong? Has anyone else seen this? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks for your help! Techieluvr Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179004

    - POP3 Connector mail not being delivered, folders empty I have a user who uses SBS 2000. Their mail is currently picked up from individual ISP mailboxes using the POP3 connector, but recently, users have stopped receiving mail. Internal mail is still working fine. The POP3 folders (incoming, inforward, failed etc) are all empty, as are the queue and pickup folders in the vsi1 smtp folders. Looking in event viewer, I see event 4032 occurring, but the content doesn't look right: Event 4032 A recipient has been processed. Recipient information: NDR Status Code: 600 Error Code: 00002745 SMTP Reply: SMTP Name: <user>@maildomain.com SMTP Host: <server>.InternalDomain.local Now as I understand it, the NDR status code should be returning 1 if all is well. This is coming up for any users who have mail delivered. The email address is correct, and in the recipient policy in exchange, the external maildomain is ticked for the server being responsible for all delivery. Any clues of where to look next? I'm stumped! James Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 179002

    - Workstation upgrade causes problems I have a very simple network consisting of an SBS2K server, 6 XPPro workstations, and a couple of printers. After upgrading the workstations to SP2, domain users are experiencing slow logons, slow access to files on server and printing problems. Logging onto workstations with a domain admin account works fine, and giving a user domain admin privilege fixes the problem. Obviously, the solution is not to give everyone domain admin privilege, so any help solving this problem would be appreciated. I have disabled the XP firewall that is installed with SP2.

    - Can't join Server 2003 member server to SBS 2K I'm trying to join a Server 2003 to a SBS 2000 domain as a member server. The join fails with "name can't be found".

    - Need help with VPN problem not allowing more than one connection Hello. We have an SBS2000, SP4 server with a Netgear FS116 switch, Zyxel Zywall 10 firewall, two nics, Speakeasy DSL internet with Static IP coming in through DSL Modem. An ipconfig /all is at the end of this post. A few months ago we went from a one nic to the two nic system and we started using ISA2000 Standard and paid Microsoft to get the ISA up and running. The VPN for users to log into the server worked fine previously. More than one user could VPN in at one time. Since we started the two nic ISA system we discovered that only one VPN could be established at a time. I thought maybe somebody in this forum could help us figure out why we are restricted to one VPN at a time. Otherwise we will have to pay Microsft again. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    - Exchange Server Build Number and Mailbox Store issues My Mailbox store keeps unmounting with ESE 445 error stating that the database has reached maximum size. I added the registry key to temporarily expand the store, had users clean up about 6GB of emails, ran online defrag, ran backup of exchange, ran eseutil with t and p option to defrag the database and my store still dismounts with the ESE 445 error. The drive that my store is on only has about 10GB of free space but my temp DB location has at least 100GB. Why isn't my store recovering the free space? I have been working on this issue for about 2 days straight now with 2 hrs sleep. I have also recently noticed that my exchange server build number is 6249.4 but I have all of the Post SP3 service packs installed. Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 178980

    - MI5 Persecution: Dirk Gently on the Toronto Case Dirk was on the West Coast when he got the call. An old friend at the Toronto police department thought he would like to fly up and take a look at a homicide which had occurred the previous evening. He decided to skip the last day at the World Holistics conference and take the next plane out of San Francisco. The flight was bad; Dirk had been hit on the back of the head by the Newspaper trolley, the drinks trolley, the dinner trolley and now the gift trolley. When the hostesses weren?t trying to tear his arm off they pestered him to stop leaning into the aisle - ignoring the fact that the guy next to him was taking up one and a half seats. Air Canada used to be the flight which was so good you just didn?t wanna get off - on this occasion Dirk would be glad to see the back of the plane and the over sized alternative comedian wedged into the window seat. After breathing in a couple of lungfulls of crisp Canadian air Dirk took a taxi into town. There was a small group of demonstrators outside the MacDonalds and the taxi driver insisted on stopping on the opposite side of the street. ?Don?t Eat Meat? the placards read and the demonstrators chanted. A couple of policemen where stopping the crowd entering the restaurant itself - one held up his arm and challenged Dirk. A wave of the fax he had been sent and the policeman pushed open the door. There were few customers in the restaurant. Not surprising really with a demonstration going on outside, half the dining area roped off with tape and a dead body seated at one of the tables. ?Mr Gently sir? the officer in charge called out as he peeled one end of the tape off a column ?We were told not to touch anything til? you got here?. The body of the man slumped awkwardly in a chair. Then even a dead body would start getting uncomfortable in a MacDonalds chair after twenty minutes - and this one had been there for at least eighteen hours. Two back legs and the tail of a cat hung out of the man?s gaping mouth. Dirk turned to the officer, ?I suppose you are going to tell me this is the darndest thing you ever saw?? ?Ain?t this the darnd...?. The officer seemed annoyed that Dirk had second guessed him. ?We?re removing the body in a few minutes, so if you can get through as quick as possible? ?Many people eat cats in fast food restaurants?? Dirk asked and without waiting for an answer leant over the table to pick up an untouched burger. ?And what?s this?? he asked waving it in front of the officers face. ?It?s a Vedgie Burger? The waitress, who was cleaning one of the adjacent tables, shouted across. She walked over to Dirk. ?We started doing them because of that lot out there? she nodded towards the protesters who were pressing there faces against the windows ?They?re called Linda McCartney Vedgie burgers - ever heard of them?? Dirk suddenly felt faint, perhaps a combination of hunger and jet lag. ?This is deja vu all over again? he thought to himself. He glanced at policemen - at the badge on his shoulder ?OPD? but this wasn?t Ontario this was Toronto. OPD - Officially Pronounced Dead. It dawned on Dirk what was happening, he knew what he would see if he looked out of the window. Sure enough, there it was, the Volkswagen Beetle parked across the road - number plate 28IF - 28 IF Paul McCartney had lived. And amongst the lyrics of the song blaring out into the restaurant he could pick out the words ?I buried Paul?. Now it was though Dirk was viewing the whole scene though a TV screen. This was conspiracy. Not -a- conspiracy, or -the- conspiracy, but just plain conspiracy. ?You look faint - are you OK mister? The waitress asked. Dirk shook his head ?Probably a bit hungry? Then to economise on dialogue took out a pack of cigarettes and held it out towards the girl. She was about to take one but Dirk snatched the pack away, held it up to his mouth and drew out two cigarettes. He lit both then passed one of them to the girl. It was the closest he had come to a sexual encounter in three months. ?Want a Burger?? the waitress asked. Dirk looked down at the Vedgie Burger on the table. ?No thanks - just a plate of fries? The waitress walked away and Dirk looked around the room. Apart from a family seated in the far corner there was only one other person in the restaurant - and he wasn?t eating. The guy was about mid twenties and had straggling, shoulder length hair. On the table in front of him were lots of pieces of paper cut into squares. Every so often he would pick up a camcorder and pan it around the room and then, when he was finished, speak into a microphone which was attached to a tape recorder. Dirk walked over to where the man was sitting. The small pieces of paper had paragraphs of text written on them and were stuck to the top of table with blobs of mustard. Lines had been drawn, some solid some dotted, on the table top with a marker pen. The lines ran from one piece of paper to another. ?What are the lines for?? Dirk asked, realising straight away that ?What the hell are you doing?? would be more appropriate. ?You see? The man replied nervously ?The dotted lines are weak links and the solid lines are strong links. The dotted lines are things which are happening in the rest of the world and the solid lines are things which are happening to me. Now you see I draw over a dotted line, replacing it with a solid line, when I can link something back to me. Like this? The pen squeaked over the Formica and before Dirk could interrupt the man added. ?You see I lost my short term memory and, as a consequence have a very short attention span. I write down, record and film everything then put it all together later? ?So? Dirk interrupted. ?You filmed what happened here?? ?Yes, yes, it?s here on this tape? The man pushed the cassette across the table. On the label the words ?Grassy Knoll? had been crossed through and replaced with ?MacDonalds?. Suddenly the man sprung from his seat. Dirk turned and saw that the body was being removed on a stretcher. As it passed the man picked a small object off the edge of the stretcher itself. ?This is important? he said, laying a blood stained bullet on one of the small pieces of paper on the table. Suddenly the room was filled with a deafening throbbing sound as a Black Helicopter landed in the street outside. Two men in United Nations uniforms got out and collected the stretcher. Back at the table the long haired man was replacing all the dotted lines with solid ones. Dirk panicked and began to walk backwards at some speed. Barging through the swing doors he stumbled into the kitchen, tripped and felt himself sink slowly into a large vat. ?The guys fallen into the batter? Dick heard someone shout before he sunk below the surface. He came to sitting in a chair with the batter solidifying all over his body. He surveyed the room through two eye-holes someone had cut. Suddenly the chair on which he was sitting was picked up carried through the restaurant and out of the building. As the chair was being lifted and put into the back of a van, Dirk caught a glimpse of the waitress following him. ?Your fries mister, your plate o...?. The doors of the van shut and Dirk tried desperately to steady himself as it sped across town. Eventually the doors flew open and Dirk was flung into the road at which point the solidified batter shattered and set him free. Standing up he found himself outside the international departures terminal of Toronto airport. In the departure lounge Dirk had time to reflect on the day?s events. He had got caught up in the conspiracy theories and the haphazard welding together of pieces of irrelevant information. It was time to catch the person who was operating the bizarre cognitive engine which appeared in front of him like a fairground mirror, distorting any flaw it could find in his own, fragile, map of the real world. Dirk leant into the aisle of the plane as it took off for London. The oversized person next to him swung his arms violently as he complained about every thing from the supper in a plastic tray to the state of British politics. With a shaven head and a badly fitting suit the man looked as though he could have worked behind the reception desk of the Kremlin. However when he spoke he did so in a Liverpudlian accent. ?Me I blame the Con-serv-a-tive government, me. The Tour-rees. That-cher. Me. They need a good kicking? He jerked his feet forward and struck the seat in front with his Doc Martins. ?With these. Me Doc Martins. Doctor Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s Booots!? The phrase was now being sung over and over again as the man writhed in his seat and clicked his fingers. Dirk looked down at the boots and thought of the reaction most people used to deal with the paranoids at the end of the wire. A nice quick kick. ?Oi nutter - get some therapy?. This is the easy way out and perhaps the safest. After all there you are sat, alone, in front of the screen. No body language between you some paranoid. No way of telling if he really is some gibbering psycho. Look at it too long and you be drawn in. Fall into the tangled database of weird links with him. Who knows he may be watching you, reassembling and linking your experiences with his. How sure are you of you own cognitive threads. After all cognition is only a bug fix for a neurological system which was designed in a hurry - it?s abused by everyone from politicians to advertisers. If people really can convince each other that a bottle of washing up liquid is as exciting as an orgasm using just television God knows what they can do with a computer. Better to avoid the risk. A swift kick. After all if you?re Homophobic you put the boot in because you are scared of any ambiguity in your own sexuality - why not be Nutterphobic as well. Although Dirk would have liked to devoted time to tracking the culprit down he decided to let it rest. The Internet changed over the next twenty odd years. A lot of the people who used it went out and got lives. And those who already had lives burnt them away. The number of users had dwindled after someone had invented a C++ program, with truth as a variable, to deal handle politics and government. Dirk had already retired from finding old ladies cats with the help of obscure science when he got another call from Toronto. It was 4th March 2025 when he booked onto the Air Canada flight from Heathrow. The silver haired woman in the seat next to him painted bright red lipstick around her mouth. ?Of course it was no surprise to be offered the job after Claire Raynor retired? she sneered? After all I used to be a psychiatric nurse... Now if Blokes had periods they would understand...? By chance the taxi ride to Toronto mental hospital took him past the MacDonalds - where the whole thing had started. Of course it was barely recognisable having become a Church Of Scientology Vedgie Bar. Police in riot gear kept the two sets of demonstrators apart. Dirk didn?t really know what to expect when he got to the hospital. The girl at the reception desk directed him to a row of chairs in a wide well lit corridor. There was a strong smell of disinfectant, the furniture and the carpets were immaculately clean and behind the rows of teak veneer doors the ?nutters? were all safely locked away. For some reason Dirk started thinking about CompuServe forums. A tall blond woman in a white coat approached. ?Mr Gentle, I assume? ?Yes? Dirk replied shaking her by the hand. ?You?re the nurse who...? ?Doctor? She interrupted, ?Doctor Killfile? She led Dirk across the corridor towards one of the doors then stopped with her hand resting on the handle. ?Now you know about this person don?t you?? and after Dirk nodded she continued ?Don?t tell him anything about yourself - don?t let him get into you head. If he does he?ll screw it up? The door opened to reveal a frail man sitting in from of a TV screen. He had a keyboard on his lap and next to the television was a computer screen. Dirk glanced at the walls of the room and remembered that his settee at home need upholstering. The nurse left the room and the man looked up ?So you come to my daughters wedding and ask me to kill a man? he said in a dry cackling voice. ?Look? he continued, pointing at the screen, ?I know that man. They?re talking about me now - listen?. The man stared at Dirk. ?What?s your name? Are you one of my friends from the Internet? - Are the lambs still screaming Dirk?? Dirk, at first recoiled in horror, then felt a sense of anti climax. So this is what they hyped up to superstar status on the back of their own fears of madness. Dirk was reminded of the film ?A day on The Beach? where a submarine had set off to search a post nuclear World to track down a signal coming from a remote military base - only to find it was being sent by a Coke bottle half balanced on a Morse tapper. Outside the room the nurse waited for him. Because his nicotine craving had returned - and to avoid an awkward piece of dialogue - Dirk turned to her and asked . ?Patch?? Dirk took two nicotine patches from his wallet the first of which he stuck onto the inside of his arm. Stepping closer to Doctor Killfile he opened her white coat and slid his hand into the opening at the front of her dress. He pressed the patch onto her leg as close to the top of her inner thigh as he dare. She took a deep breath and then slowly breathed out. ?What Bogart could have done with these things? Dirk thought to himself. ?Is he crazy?? Dirk asked tilting his head back to towards the door. ?Who knows? Doctor Killfile replied ?We let him type away. He sees something on the TV in the morning and it keeps him busy all day. What he types doesn?t go anywhere it just stays on a mainframe in the basement. It can be read by anyone else in the building but that?s it. We got them all in here conspiracy theorists, racists, nationalists. They?ve created a world within a world really...? Her voice trailed away and she stared down the corridor for a while then added ?So long are two things are different neither will come to be in the other and so become at once both one and two.? Dirk gave her a puzzled look ?You mean their brains are fried?? ?Fried?? Killfile smiled at Dirk ?No that was Plato?.

    - MI5 Persecution: Security Service Tribunal Denies Security Service Tribunal Denies In June 1997 the Security Service Tribunal wrote to me regarding the complaint I had brought against MI5 in February. They say, The Security Service Tribunal have now investigated your complaint and have asked me to inform you that no determination in your favour has been made on your complaint. Again, I do not believe their denials. I think MI5 *has* taken the action against me as described, and is refusing to admit what they have done. To the best of my knowledge, the Security Service Tribunal has *never* found in favour of a complainant. This tends to strongly suggest that MI5 lies on a routine basis, and the Tribunal can't fulfil its functions in the face of Security Service falsehoods. 695 Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 178946

    - MI5 Persecution: Communications with Security Service Tribunal in 1999 Communications with Security Service Tribunal in 1999 I took some more potshots at the SS-Tribunal in the first half of 1999. The correspondence between myself and the Tribunal Secretary is detailed on this webpage. Ultimately I decided not to pursue another complaint with them, partly from Robin Ramsay's advice (and that of a solicitor I consulted), but mostly because it was rather obvious from Mr Brooks' replies that the Tribunal has no investigative means of its own and is that useless animal, a toothless watchdog. Included with this first letter was a copy of the leaflet, "Complaints about the Security Service". This tells you that the Tribunal can order "the service to end its inquiries about you; the service to destroy any records it holds about those inquiries; the quashing of a property warrant; financial compensation". Yeah, right. Look, there's a flying pig, oink-flap, oink-flap. My subsequent letter to Nick Brooks, Tribunal Secretary, dated 25 March 1999, said; Dear Mr Brooks, We spoke on the phone last week and you kindly sent a copy of the form, "Complaints about the Security Service". I have a few questions which I should like to ask you, before I undertake the task of making a formal complaint. As you know I made a complaint in February 1997, and in June of that year the tribunal made a bland and unsatisfactory statement that "no determination in your favour has been made on your complaint". During our phone conversation I expressed the view that the Tribunal was incapable of performing its functions and acts as a whitewashing body for the Security Service. My questions are as follows; (1) Has the Security Service Tribunal ever during its existence found in favour of a compaint against MI5? (2) Is the Tribunal able to disclose whether "no determination in your favour" is made because MI5 claims to have no inquiries on a subject, or whether it is made because MI5 admits to actions against a subject but claims justification? If disclosure is not possible for individual cases, then in 1997 for how many cases (out of what total) did MI5 claim justification? (3) Is the Tribunal able to investigate information such as British Airways passenger lists, given that these could conclusively prove MI5 involvement? Would the Tribunal be forced to rely on MI5 to carry out such investigations, or would it have some other means of investigating? It might look slightly ridiculous for the Tribunal to rely on MI5 to investigate their own misdeeds. When I made my previous complaint to the Tribunal in 1997 I gave very little information as to the nature of my complaint. This time I intend to give as complete information as possible; but before I do so, I would ask you to answer the questions above, to outline the "ground rules" for a Tribunal investigation and reporting of its results. Yours sincerely, Mr Brooks replied by sending me a photocopy of two pages from the 1997 Report of the Security Service Commissioner, as follows. The photocopied pages from the 1997 Report follow. In particular, the answers the report gives to my questions are; the Security Service Tribunal has NEVER found in favour of a complainant; see sections 29 and 31 of the scanned report. Nick Brooks has confirmed orally over the phone that he has no memory of the Tribunal ever finding in favour of a complainant. Secondly, the question of whether the Tribunal is able to disclose "no determination in your favour" is because MI5 claims to have no inquiries on a subject, or whether it's because MI5 admits to having inquiries but claims they are justified. The answer to this one is in section 24, which says the ambiguity is intentional; and the Tribunal will in no circumstances give an unambiguous answer of whether MI5 claims or disclaims inquiries on a subject. In section 27 of the report, SS Commissioner Lord Justice Stuart-Smith says the blanket denials "might lead some to speculate that members of the service are carrying out operations involving unlawful interference with property, such as the installation of eavesdropping equipment, without first obtaining a warrant from the Home Secretary." He goes on to try to deny this speculation. But we've heard from Peter Wright that this went on all the time in the 1960s. So why wouldn't it still be happening now? Of course it is. The Tribunal Secretary had avoided answering the question from my previous letter, of whether the Tribunal had any independent investigative capacity. So I asked him again. Dear Mr Brooks, Thank you for your letter dated 6 April enclosing an extract of the 1997 Report of the Security Service Commissioner. This answers two of the three questions asked in my letter of 25 March. The third question remains. In 1993 I travelled on a British Airways flight on which there also travelled four men, one of whom stared at me, laughed and said, "if he tries to run away we'll find him". I took this to mean that these were the men who had been pursuing me for some time in the UK. This leads me to ask again the last question in my previous letter; (3) Is the Tribunal able to investigate information such as British Airways passenger lists, given that these could conclusively prove MI5 involvement? Would the Tribunal be forced to rely on MI5 to carry out such investigations, or would it have some other means of investigating? It might look slightly ridiculous for the Tribunal to rely on MI5 to investigate their own misdeeds. I would very much hope that some means is available to the Tribunal and Commissioner to investigate possible MI5 malefaction, other than relying on MI5 themselves. When I receive an answer to this question from you, I will work to put together a more comprehensive and detailed complaint for the Tribunal's consideration. Yours sincerely, Brooks' reply was; Brooks doesn't want to give a direct reply to the question, since that would place him in a bad light. So he gives an indirect answer; the tribunal, he avoids saying, has no investigative capacity; there is no mention even of any investigative capacity provided by MI5 themselves; nobody can investigate anything, all the Tribunal can do is ask MI5, and they, in their "Alice in Wonderland" world, can redefine the truth as it pleases them, and dissemble, and lie. Before deciding not to put another formal complaint before the Tribunal, I asked Robin Ramsay, editor of Lobster magazine, what he thought of the idea of making a complaint to the Tribunal. He replied; RESPONSE Yes it is a waste of time. They will do nothing. In a further email he elaborated; As for quoting me on the Security Service Tribunal - if you think my comments would mean anything, feel free. The problem people have is this: they almost have to go through the motions of going to the Tribunal for if they don't they will always be asked, 'Why didn't you go the proper authorities?' (This is one of the chief functions of 'the proper authorities'.) Robin Ramsay So the sum of the various parts of this story is; DON'T GO TO THE TRIBUNAL. If you do, then MI5 will open a file on you (if you don't have one already). Don't do as I did, do as I say. If you feel a really deep-seated urge to complain, do so first under an invented name, which will make you understand just how useless the Tribunal is, how little information they provide, and how unpleasant it is to know that you have given MI5 a reason to officially open a file on you in their Registry. 695 Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 178942

    - MI5 Persecution: Eye Say, and Lord Gnome Answers Eye Say, and Lord Gnome Answers My interactions with Private Eye started in May 1995, shortly after I'd started bleating on usenet. I tried to get the Eye interested in my case, as I thought they more than anyone have their finger on the pulse, and would surely already know something about my case. In my first email to them, entitled "pas de bouteille?" (wot no bottle?), I asked if they had the nerve to publish what was known to many thousands of people. Their email flunky answered; Date: Thu, 11 May 95 13:40 BST-1 From: strobes@cix.compulink.co.uk (Private Eye) Subject: Re: pas de bouteille? In-Reply-To: <199505102232.SAA19988@freenet.carleton.ca> Bottle? Dunno really - but I've passed your mail on to the Ed for his consideration. Steve Mann (strobes) ========================================================== Date: Mon, 15 May 95 12:51 BST-1 From: strobes@cix.compulink.co.uk (Private Eye) Subject: Re: hello again In-Reply-To: <199505122236.SAA02574@freenet.carleton.ca> Hello yourself... Thanks for the email. Unfortunately, I can't say whether or not the Eye will do anything with this... I'm only the messenger. As the only computer-literate peron in the Gnome organisation, I get to read all the email and then pass it on to the Editor. Sorry -- not very helpful, I know. Steve Mann (strobes) The following year I gave PE another little prod, which yielded the following; Date: Tue, 13 Feb 96 11:38 GMT From: strobes@cix.compulink.co.uk (Private Eye Magazine) Subject: Re: Previous communication In-Reply-To: <199602102320.SAA26182@[snip]> Sorry not to reply sooner... we've been swamped with email and I have very little time to answer it. However, the editor sees all the email received here and I'm afraid he hasn't expressed an interest in your story so I can only assume that he feels it isn't for us. Sorry. strobes Given that I couldn't provide the evidence to persuade the Eye of the credibility of my claims, I did the next best thing, which was to take out classified adverts in their "Eye Say" and "Eye Tech" columns. My motivation for doing so is obvious; the Eye is read both by many thousands of ordinary folk, but also makes its way into the homes and consciousness of the UK's political and media elite. It is also a known favourite with "Five". What better way of taking the fight to the enemy? The first small ad appeared on 10 Jan 1997 in issue 915 in "Eye Say". It ran in that column on 24/1/97 and 7/2/97. On 21/2/97 it ran in "Eye Tech", and on 7/3/97 and 21/3/97 again in "Eye Say". I then changed the ad's wording to read "BBC Newsreaders Conspiracy", and the new wording ran in "Eye Say" from 4/4/97 issue 921, 18/4/97 to 2/5/97. The word "xenophobic" in the first advert had been intended to convey the sense of exclusion through the bigotry of my enemies, both on the basis of race and mental condition, but it seemed a bit too non-specific. "BBC Newscasters Conspiracy" was a little more immediate, although readers had to actually wade through the website to find out what it was that the newscasters were conspiring to do. My next effort tried to spice up the text. "MI5/BBC Conspiracy" ran for six issues in "Eye Say", from 5/9/97 issue 931 until 31/10/97. I suppose there is something a little sad about somebody who knows he has mental illness, placing adverts about a conspiracy in which MI5's watchers enable BBC newscasters to personally and directly communicate with him while reading the news. It is pretty sad, but unfortunately it is also true, both in the objective reality we all inhabit, as well as in my own mind. There followed a hiatus of about a year until I resumed advertising on 2 October 1998. I paid over £200 for six months advertising of the new improved text "MI5 Persecution, BBC Newscasters Spying on my Home". This text ran from issue 960 until issue 972 (19 March 1999) in "Eye Say". Private Eye's editor Ian Hislop denies knowing anything about my case, as the following email illustrates. Date: Tue, 3 Nov 1998 14:10 +0000 (GMT Standard Time) From: strobes@private-eye.co.uk (Private Eye) Subject: Re: PLEASE ANSWER - THANK YOU CC: strobes@private-eye.co.uk Reply-To: strobes@private-eye.co.uk Sorry to take so long to answer. As soon as the editor returned from holiday Steve went away. Steve is still away and so I am answering your letter. I have asked the editor and he knows nothing about any conspiracy between M15 and the BBC. Hope this helps. Mary Aylmer Private Eye I must say I'm quite surprised he knows nothing; the "Eye" is usually well clued up on what's going on. 1871 Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 178941

    - MI5 Persecution: Counter-surveillance sweep by Nationwide Investigations Group Counter-surveillance sweep by Nationwide Investigations Group In July 1994 the private detective agency Nationwide Investigations Group conducted an electronic counter-surveillance sweep of my parents' home in London. They checked for radio transmitter devices, and tested the telephone line for attached bugs. They found nothing. I am afraid that I was unsurprised at their not finding any evidence of covert surveillance. It had been made very clear to me, particularly during 1990-92, that audio, and almost certainly video, surveillance of my parents' home was taking place. But this would not have been made quite so obvious unless the persecutors were confident of their apparatus being undetectable using the technology the police, or a private agency like Nationwide, would be using. I don't know very much about the surveillance technology that has been used against me, but I understand that devices can be built which switch off on receiving a coded command, and may switch on again after a counter- surveillance sweep has completed; that devices may rapidly alter the frequency of transmission, "frequency-hopping" devices which presumably cannot be detected in a sequential scan of the sort employed by Nationwide; and of course "probe" microphones can be inserted "through-the-wall", although I hesitate to believe our neighbours would permit this. We paid Nationwide £411.25 (including VAT) for the surveillance sweep, which took them about an hour and a half to complete, using a "Professional 5000 multi-scanner, CCL UHF scanner and Guideline telephone tap detector." As I said above, I don't know very much about these things, so I can't comment on the capabilities or otherwise of this equipment. But clearly the "watchers" are using technology which in 1994 was beyond the detection capabilities of a good private detective agency. 695 Tag: SMTP Setup Tag: 178940

    - Security Groups we have a sbs 2000 machine that is the Domain Controller(all the 5 FSMO roles actually) in our network. I was testing out Exchange Server 2007 which seemed to require the Windows 2000 mode (and not Mixed Mode, which supports Pre-Windows 2000). I changed that from Mixed Mode to Windows 2000 mode. Now the permissions for all the Security Groups seem to be messed up. Is there anyway I can change the mode of all the security groups to Windows 2000 instead of mixed mode. thank you.
