    - ServerProtect v Officescan client on server? I have just seen it said that Server Protect is better than having an Officescan client on the server machine (as in C/S/M SMB). Any comment on this? Is it the case that extra licences can only be bought in packs of 25 for C/S/M Enterprise? They can be bought in packs of 5 for the SMB version?

    - ISA configuration - BlackBerry Enterprise Server on SBS2K I'm trying to get a BlackBerry server running on my SBS. Does anyone, or anyone you know, run a BlackBerry Enterprise Server on their SBS2K? (A "Yes" on this one would be huge. Be my yes.) The current headache is ISA configuration. I haven't even installed the software, instead focusing on getting a positive result from their connectivity test program. The BES needs outbound access on port 3101 to BlackBerry's servers. It also needs either a transparent proxy connection, or outbound port forwarding. First, port 3101. I believe I need to create 2 IP Packet Filters - 1 TCP, 1 UDP. Here they are: Filter Name: SRP Connection TCP Protocol: TCP Direction: Both (overkill - was in random tweak mode) Local port: Fixed - 3101 Remote port: All ports Filter applies to: Default external interface IPs And: All remote computers Filter Name: SRP Connection UDP Protocol: UDP Direction: Both Local port: Fixed - 3101 Remote port: All ports Filter applies to: Default external interface IPs And: All remote computers Doesn't that make a bigger than needed hole in my firewall? And the transparent proxy/outbound port forwarding: I'm at a loss, here. Can you bypass the proxy for local requests? Should I put the firewall client on the SBS? (that sounds evil) Is outbound port forwarding possible with an ISA Server? Did I ask if anyone ran a BES on their SBS2K? TIA Jim Tag: Send As Tag: 157132

    - where is the missing space (C: drive) Hi, We have been runing SBS2000 for a number of years. The C drive is only 4 Gb. All programs (Exchange, SQLServer etc) are installed on the D drive. The only thing on the C drive is the OS. We have about 980Mb of free space on C. Whenever I run a security update, I move the unistall files from C to D. To do this I use "Ctrl-X", "Ctrl-V" (to move the files) After doing this the last time I noticed I didn't gain any free space (although I moved a number of files from C to D). So, I did a "Ctrl-C", "Ctrl- V" on the D drive files to a new folder on the D drive. I then deleted the old files. After finishing, I looked at my free space on C and it agained 50Mb. BUT THAT IS AFTER MOVING FILES ONLY ON THE D DRIVE!?!? When you use Ctrl-X to move files between drives, is it just a pointer and the space is still stored on the original drive? If so, that is bad. I then summed up all the space for each folder on C and it only comes to about 1.5Gb, viewing the properties on C, it shows used space as 3.2Gb. Where is the remainder of space? This isn't a huge issue (we have been around 1Gb free space for a long time) but I'm curious how the OS calculates free space. Tag: Send As Tag: 157093

    - email routing with POP3 connector in Exchange Hi I have Exchange 2000 and the exchange server dials into a POP3 mail account which is a "catch all" account (<anything>@domain.com). I have set a mail listing up for each user, e.g username@domain.com send to username exchange user. I have two questions on this topic? 1. What happens to email that has a alias that is not a username email address. e.g <anythingbutusername>@domain.com. Where is it stored? Does it get returned? 2. How do i get two different email alias's to route to the same exchange user? Do i set up a seperate "mail listing", in the exchange POP3 connector, and then assign that email address(mail listing) to the same exchange user? Or Do i place another email address in the users "properties" under the exchange tab? When the email is directed to the mail client i want the email to be able to be reconised seperatly. This is so i can set up a rule to place the seperate email addresses into different folders. many thanks Tag: Send As Tag: 157053

    - Print error alerts We are running SBS2K, and many printers are shared off this server. There is a packing slip printer in the warehouse that often goes offline, has a paper jam, or runs out of paper, and the warehouse staff never seem to notice in a reasonable amount of time. I want to set an alert, so that when the printer goes off line, or there is a paper error, the alert can net send a message to a particular PC, so a phone call can be made.. We managed to get the basics working, and set it so that when the counter is greater than 0, a message would be sent. The problem we have is with resetting the counter. Currently, the counter is set to 30 after a few errors, and every time it polls, it sends a message, even after the problem is fixed. We have had to stop the alert, but when we restart the alert, it sends more messages, as the counter is still 30. Can youone suggest anything? Thanks Bob Tag: Send As Tag: 157051

    - Exchange doesn't distribute email after DOS attack SBS2000 Over the weekend my customer told me that they could not collect email, (using POP3). The server was also running low on drive C drive space so I assumed it was an issue with that. However visiting them yesterday & checking with their ISP (Demon) it seems that they had a email DOS attack. Demon support said that there were over 25,000 emails waiting to download & pointed out that we would never download that many emails by 56k modem. Demon then deleted all the DOS emails which were addressed to the postmaster. The postmaster account is not allocated to a user on the Exchange server, so I assume that it would just bounce them after processing the mail download. What appears to have been happening is that the POP3 collector would attempt to download the emails & each time, after several hours (or days) the POP3 collection would fail. As it was POP mail, all the mail would remain on Demon's mailservers & also Exchange would not process any of the mails that it had already downloaded as a complete POP collection had not occurred. This seems to have made exchange store some sort of temp download file on the Exchange drive & had eaten all the disk space. How do I free up the disk space caused by this? I cannot find any obvious place for this file. After Demon deleted the DOS emails, we ran a successful POP3 download which I was able to check using Demon's webmail facility (the mailbox had emails before I synch'd the email & afterwards it was empty). However although Exchange server has downloaded the new emails, it has not processed them & delivered to the clients. Could this be a problem with some huge temp file sitting somewhere?

I have attempted to delete the mail from the queue. If a queue lists 1 or more mail items for that domain, selecting freeze or delete turns it to 0. Most queued items are already set at 0. I have deleted the items in the \VS 1\queue folder but the items regenerate again! I have set all timeout periods to 1 minute and after 1 minute the items in the VS 1\Queue folder are removed but are still listed in the SMTPVS and still runs the Internet connection flat out and sends NDR's. A reboot will regenerate the VS 1\Queue folder just as it had originally, and again will slowly delete all items again. This has got me stumped. It seems nothing will remove the items from the queue, and the server is still tryint to send tomething even though it has expired and is not listed in the VS 1\Queue folder. Any help at all greatly appreciated. Tippy. Tag: Send As Tag: 156962

    - Imminent upgrade to SBS2003 & new hardware Hello people, We are moving to a new building, and I thought I would take the opportunity to upgrade from SBS2000 to 2003. The boss has also volunteered to buy us a new machine for the server. I think it is going to be a similar spec, but with IDE instead of SCSI drives (more space, possibly not as fast). I am looking for some advice about how best to set-up and configure the new network, and how best to make use of the old server. I already have a copy of SBS 2003 which came with this year's Action Pack subscription (I have two copies of SBS 2000, one which we bought with the original server, and one from last year's Action Pack). However, I believe it is not possible to have two SBS machines connected on the same network. Is this correct? Obviously it would be useful to have both machines connected together to transfer data across (although I do have a couple of removable USB drives that I could use for this if necessary). Currently I have an old 486 machine that I am using as a web server (running Apache on Win98 with Web Forwarding from the SBS machine). This is very slow, but does the job (our main website is hosted externally at the ISP). My thought is to throw this away and perhaps use the old server for this instead. When I originallay set this up I was advised by people in this group that having a web server sitting in the SBS network was not a good idea from a security point of view, and instead I should have set it up in it's own 'DMZ'. I decided to take the risk and don't seem to have had any problems. Would the same considerations apply with SBS 2003? If I decide to use the old SBS box for the web server, it would seem a bit of a waste to have it sitting there just doing this one job. I would prefer to have it on the network and available for other things, possibly hosting a database. Might it be a good idea to have exchange running on this machine instead of the new server? Anyway, this will hopefully all be happening in a couple of weeks time (as soon as the boss signs the lease on the new building). This will only be my second SBS installation, and my first attempt at copying stuff across from one to another so any advance warning of any likely problems would be greatly appreciated. Are there any patches I should download in advance? Thanks, Phil. Tag: Send As Tag: 156958

    - Win 98 and Internet connectivity issue I have a Windows 98 workstation that cannot get internet access unless the SBS2K server is already dialled up (ISDN). If the dial up connection is disconnected then the browser reports server cannot be found. As soon as the dial up is activated then the PC connects to the internet. Other PC's work fine. Any ideas?

    - POP3 not working Hi All: we are running premium edition of SBS 2003. I cannot recive email from remote location. However I can ping the fqdn server name and I can ping ip address. When I click "Test Account Setting" in Out look 2003 I receive message under error tab "The specified server was found but there was not response from the server. Please verify the port and SSl information is correct. We do have ISA Server 2000 running. Is it possible that port 110 is closed by default and if so how do I open it. Please guide.

    - Veritas Backup Exec. 99% complete. Failed A quick question, A user today shut the server down during a power outage. She forgot to acknowledge "please eject media" message in Backup Exec. The job was at 99% complete. The amount of data looks correct, though. Is the data ok on the tape? I can try a restore and have not done yet on this tape. The ominous "failed" message is troublesome. I am going to set it automatically to eject for me via this article. http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/192055.htm Should I be concerned? John Tag: Send As Tag: 156933

    - SBS2000 - Pop3 connector installation issue HI All, I have recently added exchange to my SBS2000 installation using the "typical" installation. Did the forest prep and then domain prep for the AD. I can't seem to find teh POP3 connector. I thought POP3 connector installed by default in SBS? Where have I gone wrong?? At present users are downloading via internet mail and storing in the mail boxes - not the most efficient means of accessing mail. All help gratefully received. Michael. Sydney AU.

    - SQL server license I have a copy of SBS 2000 and since I am not currently using SQL server with it, Is it possible to use that copy of SQL on another Server on my network. Is that legal? Thanks Tom Tag: Send As Tag: 156924

Hi

I am trying to set-up a send as on SBS2003. I have a domain hosted by an ISP that i collect from using the POP connector and routing rules, that works OK. However i want certain users to be able to send out as other addresses. For example user1@mydomain.com wants permission to send as accounts@mydomain.com, no problem i thought a quick google and knowledge base 327000 later and it still doesn't work. As per the KB i have added the new account to AD and given exsisting accounts send as permissions, however i get a you do not have permision error. A couple of questions therfore

I have added the new account to AD as per the KB article but it is not and accout in Exchange and the KB does not mention adding this, should i
Also the exsisting users are set-up as users in server management but do not appear in AD, is this normal
Assuming i get these send as accounts working i have to set-up a load of 'dummy' users, how do i avoid these being a security risk? For example what can i turn off for these users who after all are not ever going to log in

Cheers, Dave
