    - Ftp / Remote Desktop Connections : Fail I've been working on this off/on for a year now, and cannot solve it. I have 2 SBS2k networks, upgraded from SBS 4.5, that will not allow me to get out of my network to external ftp or TS sites. Most PC's, but not all. These are dual homed servers so I'm sure I've got something not set correctly on the servers. PLEASE, someone, point me in the right direction. I'm between gigs right now and I would love to fix this on my time off. Thanks for any help. Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173957

    - 2003 installation with SBS 2000 Here is my setup: Office 1: SBS 2000 Server and a Windows 2000 Server. Office 2: New Windows 2003 Server w/ Exchange 2003. I will be setting up a Router to Router VPN. I want the two offices to be in the same forest, possibly as a domain w/ subdomains. Once the VPN is configured properly, I understand that I can join a Windows 2003 Server to a SBS 2000 domain. However, I am unsure how Exchange behaves with this. I don't think another Exchange server can be part of a SBS 2000 domain. Here is what I need to know: Can I Join Office 2 to Office 1's domain as a subdomain, and keep Exchange separate? We use POP3 e-mail through our ISP, so Exchange is only used to hold mailbox stores. Please give advice! I appreciate it. PM Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173956

    - new scsi drive Hello I just added a npair of new scsi drives to our system. I added both as dynamic drives and formatted them and have successfully moved our data from a much smaller drives (34Gb) to the larger (73Gb). My problem is that the stations do not seem to "see" these drives. I have enabled them ro be shared but I'm not sure what to do next. tia carl Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173953

    - SCSI or SATA Hi, I am looking at replacing the SBS 2000 Server with SBS 2003. The existing Server has SCSI drives and need your advise on the new server. As SATA drives are cheaper than SCSI has anyone used SATA in hardware Raid 0 and if so hows the performance vs SCSI? -- Regards David Hellewell Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173937

    - Internet Sharing on SBS 2003 I have a Server running SBS 2003, 3 Clients running XP Pro and an unmanaged Switch. I had a BT DSL modem whcih I have connected to the USB port on the Server. From the Server I can see the web but I cannot configure the Server to allow internet access from the Clients. I have followed in-built and web "Help" screens but there is no Enable Internet Sharing screen or tab anywhere. Is ICS possible with a USB DSL Modem or must I use a router connected to one of the RJ45 ports? If the former, how?? THanks Alan Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173909

    - SBS/Exchange 2000: Event 8331: MSExchangeAL: Address List This SBS 2K installation has been running like a train for 2yrs, no probs. Recently two 8331 problems (16th June and today) have caused Exchange issues. Users are unable to send mail, it remains in the Outlook outbox. I've tried re-starting the Exchange services, but the Exchange Information store will not re-start. It just hangs. The first time a re-boot fixed it, but it hasn't lasted long !!! Google gives plenty of info on this for Exchange 2003, but little for Exchange 2000. There are some previous posts, but no definitive solutionThe entry is:- "MSExchangeAL" "Address List" "The service threw an unexpected exception which was caught at g:\dsa\src\lra\abv_dg\lservagent.cpp(4664)" The Application log is full of them, as the entry repeats every 60secs from the initial one. This is worrying, as a re-boot is not always convenient. Also there is no logical g: drive on this machine!!! Are there any regular maintenance tasks I should be performing on Exchange, apart from patching, which I do every two months or so? Any other pointers to the problem / solution? Re-install exchange? Thanks for any assistance. Andy Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173908

    - Spliting applications from a SBS 2000 server One of my customers is using SBS 2000 with circa 40 clients. They are using Exchange and SQL production application pretty heavily, so performance is a bit iffy. They need to move either the Exchnage or the SQL app to another box. This will be a basic Proliant with Server 2003 installed. Question is, what is the easier one to move? Exhange or SQL. I know that they'll have to purchase one or the other, so it's about the most cost effective and the easier re-config. The client would prefer to move Exchange because they've had a lot of bespoke work done on the SQL app and are terrified that they'll have to go back to the standard application and try and run all their mods again. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks, John Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173907

    - Exchange 2003 Standard on SBS 2000 Hello, I am wondering if I can install Exchange Server 2003 standard on a server running SBS 2000. It seems to upgrade the actual Exchange 2000 (component of SBS) to Exchange 2003 is the best way to get an Exchange 2003 organization, to keep the public folders, and to do a simple move of mailboxes rather than have to run Exmerge. The ultimate goal would be to move it all to a new Exchange 2003 server running on Windows 2003 server. Any ideas? Thanks! Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173904

    - SMTP Read Errors I have a client with SBS 2000 using Exchange to host Internet email. Internally, everything works fine. Sending mail to the Internet works fine. For some domains, emailing to accounts on this server does not work, or works sporadically. Often, the emailing domain receives this message: #4.4.7 SMTP; 451 4.4.1 reply: read error.

    - Forward mail from internal Domain I have a customer who has set up a number of external POP3 mailboxes with his ISP in order to use PDA's remotely. He then setup out of office rules to forward mail to these mailboxes, but the mail never goes. I soon realised that he had set up mailboxes using the same domain name as his Exchange Server is responsible for (Exchange 2000 running on SBS2000), and therefore when sending internally of course Exchange issues NDR's for the 'unknown' mailboxes. Is there any way to forward this mail using OOF or will it have to be set up under a different domain name? Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173881

    - Documenting SBS Server Settings? Hello, I was wondering what (if any) written documentation should be kept in terms of "Server Configuration Settings"? What sort of things do you all "write down" when it comes to documenting your systems?

This information would be useful for a "third party" in case work had to be carried out on the system and I was un-available for some reason.

    - TS CAL on thin client device We have a number of systems out running thin client devices such as the Wyse Winterm product or similar. Although I was able to find an MS technical article about how to transfer the TS device CAL from one thin client PC to another (in the event of hardware failure) as this entails editing the registry on the client PC to remove the license, it obviously won't work on a thin client, as it only has Windows CE and no 'regedit' command. So in the event of a Winterm failing and being replaced by the hardware maintenance company, how would we get over the fact that Windows TS Licensing would now consider this to be an extra user? So if the customer had 10 TS device CALs, and ten thin clients, how do we swap one thin client and not need to ugprade with extra TS CALs? Thanks, Mike.

    - Problem with roaming profiles.. I am configuring 5 of our XP users to use roaming profiles - as they will be sharing desks/computers on different days of the week. They will be switching between 5 differnt Xp Pro machines. So far, I have only configured the first user and ran into the following issue... It seemed to go fairly smooth except that none of the users' mapped drives came across. I had to manually re-map the drives on one of the other machines he logged into - and I suspect I'll wind up having to do the same on the other machines he will be logging into. Is there some issue with mapped drives and roaming profiles? It seems that once I mapped the drives, they are being retained - but likely only because that is beiong stored in teh local profile for that user on that particluar machine? It would be nice if I did not have to go to 5 different machines for 5 different users (25 profiles)and map drives!!! Any thoughts?

Thinking this was inconsistent, I set the Dell ports speed to 100 FULL and all the PCS connections to the server slowed down and files could not be saved to the server. Hmmmm.... I set the Dell's ports back to AUTO and the speed was back to the way it was. I tested the PC's NICS and also changed them to AUTO but this changed nothing. The speed tests: Copying 1 gig of data (2000 files) from the workstation to the server and vice versa. Opening Outlook. Opening up a SQL sever database. Saving a large photoshop file to a network drive. Some questions: 1. Is there a setting in ISA2K that be changed to improve bandwidth for pop3? Way to play around with bandwidth tuning? 2. Looking at the Dell switch, noticed a setting "spanning tree" is disabled. (only one switch) 3. Also, at the Dell switch, there is a "multimedia support" and the "high priority optimization" is disabled. IGMP is disabled. Should this be on?

    - Interesting article from Techworld. Firewalls. Your thoughts. Question, what services can be turned off safely on SBS2000 Boxes? Minimum services? RE: Singer is adamant that intrusion will not be stopped by a firewall and attackers have used Trojan SSH clients to steal user names and passwords. Other practices Singer recommends include not running services you don't need, for example, services that are only required internally don't need to be external. From Techworld.Com. http://www.techworld.com/security/news/index.cfm?NewsID=3992 07 July 2005 Firewalls a dangerous distraction says expert False sense of security. By Rodney Gedda, Computerworld Australia A preoccupation with firewalls is diverting attention and resources away from the more important issue of locking systems down, according to an expert. Computer security researcher at the San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC), Abe Singer said companies can spend 90 percent of their security efforts on firewalls and not much of anything else. "I'm not saying firewalls are completely irrelevant, but how much effort do you spend on security?" Singer asked. "Do security at the host, not just the perimeter. You should be worried about what users are doing, because if an attacker is going through the perimeter [without secure hosts] then it's game over." Speaking at the Australian Unix and open systems user group (AUUG), Singer prides himself on the claim that the SDSC has gone four years without a root-level intrusion to its systems - without using a firewall. "At the SDSC we don't use a firewall, it's not feasible," he said. "Since we have to secure hosts individually if we had a firewall it would be so open it would be useless." Singer said there is a perception that a firewall is a must-have. He cited Visa's server requirements for online merchants which stated they must have a firewall, but did not specify any configuration details. "Too much of the security budget is being spent on firewalls which also get too much attention [and] it's also 'cool' to have a new firewall to play with," he said, adding that other appliances like intrusion detection and prevention systems are an extension of the same idea. "People are attracted to the idea that security can be bought [and] it's hard to differentiate between marketing hype and reality," he said. "We have a known 'good' config and when we find something is bad it's consistently fixed." Singer is adamant that intrusion will not be stopped by a firewall and attackers have used Trojan SSH clients to steal user names and passwords. Other practices Singer recommends include not running services you don't need, for example, services that are only required internally don't need to be external. "You really need to think through your processes [and] relying on a firewall means you're probably doing security wrong," he said. "Surveys have shown that 60 percent of security breaches are internal but 70 percent of people are worried about hackers on the outside. Internal breaches are worse, because someone has a level of access and knows where the assets are. If an attacker was really looking at compromising a company's assets he or she would get a job in the mail room." Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173834

    - Press release The Magical M&M's from SmallBizServer.Net, Mariette Knap and Marina Roos, are delighted to announce that they've teamed with two established SBSers and trainers to launch an exciting new forum supporting Microsoft's new Small Business Specialist Community. The Small Business Specialist Community is Microsoft's new partnership opportunity for small business technology consultants, resellers and system builders. The Small Business Specialist Community has many Microsoft Partner-level characteristics (like the Gold, Certified and Registered levels) and competency-like characteristics (such as network infrastructure, security and information worker). "Because this exciting new program was just announced by Microsoft, there are very few support resources for it." Said Mariette Knap from SmallBizServer.Net. "Our forum is one of those support resources." Hosted by Beatrice Mulzer and Harry Brelsford, co-authors of the new "Small Business Specialist Primer and 70-282 Exam Preparation Guide" book (SMB Nation Press), this forum will answer business and technical questions related to the Small Business Specialist Community. "Really there are two forums. The first forum answers program-related questions such as becoming a Small Business Specialist." Said well-known SBSer and international author Harry Brelsford. "And the second forum supports the 70-282 certification exam that is a certification component to qualify as a Small Business Specialist. But equally important, Beatrice and I are here to support and supplement Microsoft's community building efforts in the small business segment." Specifically, the new forum will: - Provide insights into becoming a Small Business Specialist beyond the Microsoft Partner Web site. For example, the Small Business Specialist implementation in the United Kingdom has a few unique twists (a dated logo badge that must be renewed annually) Have an international flavor. Between Beatrice's native German language fluency and Harry's extensive global travels, this forum will reflect the true international flavor of the small business technology consulting community. - 70-282 examination guidance. Small Business Specialist candidates can interact with the forum hosts in a "birds of a feather" format to enhance their efforts to successfully pass the 70-282 certification examination. Much more! As changes are introduced into the Small Business Specialist Community, the forums will be updated to provide the most current information. Visit http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=53&afgroup=12 to join the new Small Business Specialist Community forum. Visit www.smbnation.com to purchase the new "Small Business Specialist Primer and 70-282 Exam Preparation Guide" book and subscribe to the free SMB Technology Watch newsletter.

    - Trend Micro ScanMail and missing network adapters I have just reinstalled SBS 2000 after a crash and unrecoverable AD from multiple backup sources. Most everything on the server is working but I have a persistent problem while trying to install Trend Micro Scan Mail (after successfully installing Office Scan) .

    - SBS 2000 - New AD (users manually re-created) - Can I restore Exch Hey guys, Got kind of an urgent problem. I wanted to reinstall one of our SBS 2000 servers. I backed up the system state and exchange using NT Backup. I reinstalled W2k, updated to SP4, and reinstalled SBS 2000. When I tried to restore the System State I keep getting errors. The first time I got a BSOD on boot up after the restor. I cound't get into anything (Safe mode, safe mode w/ command, directory services restore mode), and nothing seemed to fix the problem. I tried repairing and still had the same problem. I gave up and reformatted, did the whole thing over and next time it would boot up to the login screen, but this time I didn't have a mouse pointer, and the keyboard wouldn't work. (It worked outside of windows - during boot) I almost am ready to just create a new AD with all of the same info and recreate the users. Would it still be a possibility to restore the Exchange server information if I did that or not? Thanks in advance! Josh Tag: Share a printer on different (SBS) networks Tag: 173801

    - SBS2K Exchange Web Mail Hi there, We are currently using SBS2K. We want to be able to access our exchange server over the internet. We have a ADSL broadband connection with a fixed IP. However the ISA filter wizard will not allow the Exchange server to post on the internet since it treats the ADSL connection as a DIAL UP connection. Is there anyway around this?

Hi,

We have a new employer in our office who are running their own Windows
2000 server. Basically they need to keep isolated from our SBS2000
network. However, they would like to share the printer in the copy
room (has an HP Jetdirect attached.) They are plugged into the same
switches we are. Any ideas on how to do this? (perhaps I should post
this question to another newsgroup?) Thanks.
