    - OWA slow Hi, when external users try to access OWA across the Internet via a VPN or directly into the server using http://server_ip/exchange they find while its quick to prompt for login credentials the actual page takes a while to load. On the internal network it works fine. Both sides of the connection are using ADSL. Is there something I need to twaek or configure? Thanks Jon Tag: SMTP problems... Tag: 127117

    - Cache Problem I have a new SBS2000 installation with 3 XP clients. On two of the clients Internet Explorer seems to stall after about a minute, sometimes longer. Up until this point new and cached pages will be displayed. After this point it appears that only pages in cache can be displayed. Nothing new is downloaded from the Internet. Only IE on the server and on one client can browse new content. SBS2000 was installed with all the default settings and each workstation is configured the same way. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    - 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: SMTP problems... 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? Thanks, Rudi Tag: SMTP problems... Tag: 127096

    - 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: SMTP problems... 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: SMTP problems... 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 ? Thanks in advance. Robert Tag: SMTP problems... Tag: 127089

    - 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: SMTP problems... Tag: 127088

    - REQ: What am I doing wrong? I can't get deleted item retetion to work. Hey gang! I was wondering how to get the "Recover Deleted Items" function to work with Exchange 2000. I had it working previously with Exchange 5.5 and Outlook 2000, but when I did a fresh installation of SBS 2000, with Exchange 2000, it no longer functions. I believe I turned it on correctly. Do you need a newer version of Outlook in order for it to work with Exchange 2000? Thanks in advance for any advice. Tag: SMTP problems... Tag: 127081

    - 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: SMTP problems... Tag: 127049

    - Active Directory...... When add the client computers to the domain, they're put into the default container 'computers' under Active Directory. At this point, I am able to install programs to the clients via the wizard. I then added another OU called computers under the My Business OU. This was so I can use Group Policy on the workstations. When I moved these computers to this OU, I am not able to push programs down to the client via the wizard. I get an error saying that the computer is not available on the network. Do I have to keep the computers accounts in the default container in AD and not move them to another OU in order be able to use the wizard to push programs to the clients? Is there something that i am missing or something that i can do in order to have group policy to work on these clients without going to the domain level of the AD?

    - Trying to install SBS SP1 getting error I'm trying to install SBS SP1 and I'm getting this error "Service Pack 1 (SP1) Setup Requires 125 MB of disc space on the containing the ClientApps shared folder in order to deploy Windows 2000 service pack 4 to client computers. Delete unnecessary files to free up disc space, and then run SP set up again" I'm a little confused. My ClientApps shared folder is on a drive (D:\) that has 2.32 Gig Free. ClientApps is located at D:\ClntApps\ClientApps5 Is it possible that this is my problem (different name ClientApps5 not ClientApps). And if so can I just rename this file.

The only problem that i'm having is that when i'm in the Admin console, and I'm under 'computers', I can't add software to the computer that i'm highlighting. It says that it can't find the computer or it's not part of the network.....which i can't understand being that it's showing up in that window. Can someone explain this to me? I'm not sure if i'm missing something here. I have all the latest service packs installed also. Thanks, Mike Tag: SMTP problems... Tag: 126902

    - SCSI or IDE Hard Drive Replacement I posted a question earlier about upgrading the HD im my SBS 2000 machine. I was considering trying to ghost over the info from a SCSI drive to an IDE. After reviewing the responses I got the impression that even though IDE drives have come along way I should still stick with a scsi drive. I use my SBS to do several functions but I do not use SQL Server or use it to host a web site. Would you experts up grade the hard drive with another SCSI or Go with IDE? Tag: SMTP problems...

    - Song of the week: August 29, 2003 Well, it's a long Labor Day holiday here in the U.S. - time to kick off our shoes, relax with family, grill some hamburgers, and wonder what virus may be hitting our servers while we are away! So, with that I've gone back to one of the best of Billy Joel's many hits: PIANO MAN (aka COMPUTER MAN) Here's a quick snippet of the actual song in .WAV format: http://www.sonymusic.com/artists/PianoGrand/sounds/PianoMan.wav It's nine o'clock on a Saturday The office is quiet right now There's a pile of InfoWeek's sitting next to me Got to get through them some how I say, "Man, I don't time to read 'em all I'm not really sure if I can; But I'm livid and mad, when they say I should have A written disaster recovery plan" La la la, de de da La la, de de da da da Chorus: Write us a plan, you're the computer man Write us a plan tonight Well, we all have too many things to do But we'll blame you if it don't go right. Now John at the bar is my boss's son, He told dad, "we don't really need RAID" Though he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke I see trouble brewin', I'm afraid He says, "Dad, I believe RAID simply cost too much, And besides, servers never do crash" Well I'm sure that I could be in his place If I wasn't trying to save my own *ss Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da da Now Jane is the boss's secretary And she only has time for her nails But she's talkin' with Sally who's leavin' for Italy Instead of backing up her email And the CFO is practicing politics As his managers quickly go home Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness But now I'm sitting here on Saturday alone Chorus: Write us a plan, you're the computer man Write us a plan tonight Well, we all have too many things to do But we'll blame you if it don't go right. It's a pretty good day for a Saturday The backup is moving along I've patched all the computers in the office just now And they all are humming their song And the tape drive, it sounds like a carnival And near the server, I reach for my beer And I sit at my desk, finally taking a rest And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?" Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da da Chorus: Write us a plan, you're the computer man Write us a plan tonight Well, we all have too many things to do But we'll blame you if it don't go right.

    - What Virus pkg? After yesterdays debacle with the Nachi virus, my client is finally willing to spend a few buck on a virus pkg. Does anyone have advice on what's out there and what they cost? I don't want to just blindly buy from the big boys if there's something better that only pros know about. What about Sophos? I used their download to fix our problem and it worked well. On the cheap side, can you install homeowner type ($50) on just the server and not bother with the clients behind the server? Or do those cheap packages not install on Server OS? They all spec Win 2K pro, don't mention server. Bob Tag: SMTP problems... Tag: 126869

    - sbs 2000 domain joining across cisco vpn tunel Hi, I am working on joining remote xp clients to windows 2000 domain across vpn tunnel established between cisco routers. The main site where SBS 2000 is located has an ip scheme of 192.168.0.x and the remote site (only xp clients) has an ip 192.168.2.x. I can ping the server from the remote site and vice-versa. However, I am not able to join the domain or perform anything else except ping. SBS 2000 server has exchange 2000, dns,dhcp,wins and ISA running with firewall services disabled (functioning as web caching engine only). Client are mostly xp machines. XP clients located at main site have no issue in logging or joining win2k domain. Only clients at remote site are experiencing this problem. Both sites have dsl and static ip. Cisco claims that there is nothing wrong with the tunnel or routers config (1700 with vpn pack and 800 models). This error is recevied when trying to join remote site clients to domain: The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain boyertwnymca.local: The error was: "DNS name does not exist." (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR) The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.boyertwnymca.local Common causes of this error include the following: - The DNS SRV record is not registered in DNS. - One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone: boyertwnymca.local local . (the root zone) I have tried using hosts, lmhosts, wins and ofcourse sbs dns also. Any sugessions! Tag: SMTP problems... Tag: 126839

We are having SMTP outgoing email problems as our ISP is
on a Blackhole list with RBL or www.mail-abuse.org.

People have said that we need to run our own mailserver.
We have a static IP from our ISP...question is: how do we
deploy a mail server??

Please help.

That will not solve your problem. Most of the times you'll get a static IP
address that is in het network range of the ISP and thus blocked.

To run your own mail server your ISP must point MX records to your static IP
address. Then you run the ICW and choose SMTP for your mail and answer the
questions in the ICW.
