    - mr2kserv service Hello Group I was going through the services list on our SBS 2000 server when I notice a service called mr2kserv that is running on our server. This service has no discription and I have not been able to identify what it is. Does anyone know what it might be? Thanks Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161625

    - can't connect to vpn hi... got client that used to be able to connect to server (2000 sbs) via vpn. and browse settings etc. the remote machine is 2k pro and ha zone alarm (free) for f/wall says that after applying some updates (for windows) that he can no longer browse the network via his vpn. vpn connects can ping the server via vpn using \\192.168.16.2 to try and browse via file explorer.. have allowed vpn/sbs ip range as trusted another remote machine.. vpn'd into server can browse problem remote machine, again via vpn. sounds like ZA is stripping out something. but the only thing that has changed has been windows updates ideas ?

    - Dynamic DNS thru ADSL in SBS2000-3 Does anybody know of a roadmap for configuring SBS2000 and 2003 DNS and ISA services to work with internet services like ZoneEdit that provide a routable tcp/ip address to servers that are assigned dynamic ip's by ADSL service providers ?? For example, we have a 2003 SBS server with an ADSL connection to the internet ... two nics, a 192.x.x.x internal zone, and a 10.x.x.x external connection to the ADSL router. Our internal domain name is ourname.local, and we own ourname.net. We want to run Exchange, web site, and FTP site that can be reached as ourname.net. We have already set up the proper connections with ZoneEdit, and are using DirectUpdate to maintain the current ip address of our server. However when ZoneEdit tries to connect to our server, we get a message "host=ourname.net failed - (15533 ) Destination host is unreachable" This can't be an unusual configuration .. A roadmap with screen shots would be helpful .. those DNS and ISA tech notes that deal with every possible contingency and obscure the obvious make my eyes glaze over. Appreciate all input. Just a simple PowerUser. Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161617

    - Group Policy Problems Hello, I am trying to configure a laptop for in-office and outside use. (See post "Setting Up Laptop on the Network") Anyway, there are Group Policies that I do not want applied to mobiles users and computers. With that, I created a new OU in Active Directory under the one where all other users and computers are stored to contain all mobile users and computers. On the properties of the OU, I checked the Block Policy Inheritance box. On the parent OU, I enabled No Override on those elements I wanted to apply to the mobile OU. It seems like that should solve the problem, but when I run a Group Policy Results report from the Group Policy Management Console, all GPOs are applied. This doesn't seem right to me. Am I doing something wrong? Any idea? Thanks, Chris Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161601

    - Memory page faults Hi. I am running a fully patched sbs2k box with a gig of ram (With the page file set to approx 1500MB). Applications on the network are really slowing down, including exchange and our fox pro accounts system. The server status page is constantly showing about 30% free memory. However, on health monitor it keeps showing excessive page faults (>200/sec). Upon further investigation in performance monitor it shows that WinMgmt process is causing nearly all of the page faults (an average of 100/sec). It also shows about 70% of memory being commited and that my page file usage is around 50%. Throught the monitoring the page file % use peaked at 60% and the available memory hardly changed. What I dont understand is why I'm getting page faults if there is still RAM and virtual memory available? Would these page faults be causing the slow response on the network? Thanks for any assistance! Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161594

    - Different colored filenames I'm sorry for the silly question but I have a very fickle user who wants to know the answer. Files listed in his shared folder are of two different colors. Some are listed in black and some are listed in blue. He is complaining that the files listed in blue hurt his eyes. Is there a way to change the color to just black? He also wants to know why some are listed in blue while others aren't. I told him it was because the blue listed files are older files that have been compressed. Was I correct?

    - ISA 2000 SP2 Firewall Client Update I have installed SP2 on the server and the ISA Management Console shows this to be the version. As per instructions I have attempted to upgrade Firewall Client by running setup.exe from the shared mspclnt folder in Program Files\Microsoft ISA Server\Clients from the client. However, I don't get the option to Repair and the firewallc.log reports the ISA Setup Build no: 3.0.1200.50 and not 3.0.1200.365 SP2 (which I assume it should). I have also noticed the setup file is dated 15-12-2000 which is presumably the old one. Am I right in assuming the client has not been updated? Chris Curtis Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161591

    - Setting Up Laptop on the Network Hello, SBS2K. I am trying to set up a laptop for a traveling salesman where he can plug into the office network when he is in and VPN when he is away. So far, I have installed the firewall client and changed the laptop from a workgroup to the domain. I am able to hit the internet as well as map drives. I cannot, however get the user's Outlook to open his mailbox. When I open Outlook XP, it gives the following message: Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Unable to display the selected folder or item. You do not have permission to log on. Not sure why I am getting that message. The settings in Control Panel > Mail seem to be okay. Any ideas? That said, I am thinking that changing from a workgroup to joining the domain was a bad idea. For my laptop, it is in its own workgroup and I am able to do everything I need to whether I am in the office on the network or not. The only thing I have to do it change the settings on the Firewall Client. When I am in the office or VPN'ed in, I just enable the Firewall Client. When I am on my hoe network, I just disable it. Everything works fine that way. The reason I have it like this is so that I do not have to switch users/profiles. I can use the same one all the time. Also, I should mention that I use Roaming User Profiles. Of course, on my laptop, the roaming profile does not work. Any ideas on a better way to do this. Thanks, Chris Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161585

    - Fax service installation on XP Hi, I have configured all client PCs (Win98, Win2K) for fax client software - OK - but it will not install on XP pro PCs. I have installed fax services of XP as asked, thru windows add/remove components and installed fax client. It is now visable in the PCs services window. I've started and stopped the service, added user, etc but the same message comes up when re-trying the SBS 2000 fax software installation on PC. As soon as I hit the 'start now' SBS fax software installation, it defaults to INSTALL FAX SOFTWARE THROUGH ADD/REMOVE COMPONENTS which I've done! The fax is working great on the non XP machines. But all 6 XP PCs are having this problem - it must be something quite common. Has anyone come across this?? I have tried the site http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=32 but XP still comes up with the same message. Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161581

I would like to install Outlook 2000 on the terminal server, but I can only find a terminal server transform file (TermSrvr.mst) for Office 2000 and not for Outlook by itself.

    - Please help- SBS 2000 Upgrade I have a customr who has a SBS 2000 on a Compaq ML530 server- currently non RAID (Several disks). He wishes to upgrade to include a RAID 5 configuration using 3 disks. How easy is this to achieve?. Obviously on a normal Windows 2000 server this is fairly straightforward- but on a SBS 2000 with exchange server this is a bit more involved. What would the procedure be for achieving this? (I have the RAID controller disks etc). Thanks for reply (in anticipation). Regards Simeon Hawthorn Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161572

    - Emails bouncing in SBS2000 This is a second post on the same problem. I am now wondering if there is a virus that can bounce certain emails and leave others to be delivered. It is like there is an exception list, however I have checked the delivery messages filter. It is empty. What happens is that certain emails are returned to the sender as undelivered. For example Judith.Hunt@test.water.gov.au sends an email to ihunt@boaccount.com.au. It is returned and postmaster gets the message about it being undeliverable possibly because it is bouncing between two servers. The problem is escalating. Another one is vjack@algw.gov.au sends an email to vjack@boaccount.com.au. Nortons AntiVirus Enterprise edition with Exchange is running and is not reporting any viruses. I redid the server, but saved the emails and I think that was a mistake. Can ideas?? Thanks Gypsy PS It is a standard setup of SBS 2000 using Exchange 2000 service pack 3 is installed. By the way these people who are not getting certain emails are getting others and I can email them without a problem. Help would be appreciated. Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161567

All the installation is under C:\program files\exchsvr. Also notice that there is a drive named M:\Excahnge (local drive) with the exact amount left from the CD drive. What can I do to move everything or at least the databases,logs anything that will fill my C. Thanks in advance Denise Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161562

    - HELP PLEASE! I have a major problem. A virus got into our Exchange 2000 system and cleared out the Exchange databases. I have no backup of them but I do have the transaction logs. I recovered these but they are all named DE1.log, DE10.log, DE100.log and so on instead of E0000001.log, E00000002.log, etc. I have looked everywhere an cannot find what these files are and if these files will work for recovery.

    - PCAnywhere on a SBS Client though ISA. I'm trying to set up PCanywhere on a client computer so I can remotely administer various applications running on the server, through the Internet. Firstly I'll expalin the configuration. I have a Small Business server which acts as the DCHP server and issues IP addresses under 10.0.1.x The server also runs ISA, and all clients have access to the Internet through the Firewall Client. The server has direct access to ADSL broadband through a static IP address. The client computer is 10.0.1.20 and has PCanywhere running waiting or a connection I have looked through loads of support questions on the internet, but can't seem to get it to work. I am assuming the bit I need to do and get my head around is somehow forward the PcAnywhere port requests to the client computer. Please help Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161518

    - SBS to Router VPN - something blocking TFTP? Hi all, Previously posted [initially under VPN from Draytek Vigor 2900...] but things have moved on a little since then. Current situation is this: SBS2K - dual NIC set-up with ISA 'sitting in the middle' - 2nd NIC connecting to Broadband [cable modem] Remote office connecting via Draytek Vigor 2900Gi For testing purposes, this is how we have things set-up currently: LAN - 172.16.0.x IP-enabled phone system - 172.16.0.50 [*not* a Windows-based system as many are - Avaya IP Office] SBS internal NIC - 172.16.0.1 ISA SBS external NIC - 192.168.42.2 - acting as VPN Server [RRAS/ISA configured and working] Broadband Router - 192.168.42.10 - PPTP [1723] pass-through to 192.168.42.2 enabled and working Vigor External Fixed IP - 192.168.42.50 - gateway of 192.168.42.10 Vigor Internal Fixed IP - 192.168.90.1 - acting as DHCP Server Laptop - 192.168.90.2 - assigned by Vigor - gateway of 192.168.90.1 IP hardphone - 192.168.90.170 - fixed IP address - gateway of 192.168.90.1 Try as we could, we could *not* manage to initiate a stable VPN connection from the Vigor to the SBS box - we kept coming up against 'could not successfully negotiate any network protocols' in the Event Logs on the SBS box. We were attempting to connect using PPTP and had configured the Server to the lowest possible level [i.e. not requiring encryption etc and allowing PAP, etc...] Therefore, we changed tack a little and can bring up a stable VPN connection from the SBS box to the Vigor, with the corresponding static routes configured both ends. We can thereafter do the following: From the SBS Server, ping anything on the 192.168.90.x range successfully From the laptop at the Vigor end, ping anything on the 172.16.0.x range successfully At this stage we thought we had it cracked. However... It appears that TFTP traffic [at least] is being blocked or otherhow prevented from being fully 'transported' between the LANs. On running a trace of the phone system engineering software, we can see that a request from the laptop at the Vigor end is received by the system at 172.16.0.50 but that it cannot appear to transmit the requested data back to the 192.168.90.x side successfully, failing with an 'unreachable net' error. Likewise, from any of the SBS LAN clients, we cannot ping anything on the 192.168.90.x range - in fact, although we can ping the likes of our ISP's domain from any of the SBS LAN clients, we cannot ping anything on the 192.168.42.x side either. Anyone got any ideas? I cannot help but think that we're now missing something simple at the SBS side that is the root of this and that resolving it cannot be far away. It is somewhat crucial that we get full connectivity working as we're testing with this in-house set-up the potential for a client to implement a remote IP phone in a similar set-up [if we can get this working in our test-bed set-up above, we *should* be able to replicate it across the Internet - in theory!] Thanks in advance, David Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161513

    - account lockout policy issues... We have a Windows 2000 Small Business Server and a member Windows 2000 server we are running terminal services in admin mode on. For some reason, we are getting account lockout issues. There is no account lockout "domain security policy" configured on the SBS server nor is there an account lockout configured under "domain controller security policy". Also there also isn't an account lockout "local" policy configured on the Win2K Terminal Server. So, to the best of my knowledge, there isn't ANY account lockout policy configured anywhere, yet we are getting a lockout after 3 invalid atempts which is way too low of a value and is causing issues. We do have a Group Policy(GP) configured on the terminal server OU (organization unit) listed under "active directory users and groups" and a GP defined on the lighlevel domain (ourdomain.local) but NEITHER of these have account lockout configured! So, my question is, where the heck is the account lockout coming from? Could there be a registry setting that did not get changed? Thanks, Brad Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161468

    - Upgrade from SBS2K to SBS 2003 I just upgraded from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 and while the process seemed to go all right I now have a problem with RWW and companyweb. The installation was done with an uncorrected disk 3 for SharePoint on Saturday but today I got a corrected disk 3 and executed the procedures detailed in KB 829114. This KB has worked for me in a previous installation (but that was not an upgrade.) Now I am getting 4 errors in the event logs. Event Source: W3SVC-WP Event ID: 2214 Desc: The HTTP Filter DLL c:\intepub\sbsflt\sbsflt.dll failed to load. The data is the error.

    - LAN to LAN VPN Hi there, I have a client with 2 offices. They have a SBS2K server at head office with 20 clients mainly running XP Pro. The SBS runs Exchange and ISA with 2 nics. The Branch office has a W2K server with about 5 clients on W2K Pro or XP Pro. The W2K server just has 1 nic. At each Site there is a Vigor ADSL Router with ISDN backup (not setup). I have enabled a IPSEC VPN between the two routers (I have also tried using PPTP which made a tunnel fine but did not solve the following problem). I can ping between a laptop plugged into the routers and I can ping from HQ to the server at the branch office but I cannot ping the server at HQ. I have adjusted some settings in ISA and can now ping the internal router address at HQ 192.168.1.1 but the server lies at 192.168.0.2 and cannot be seen. However I have bypassed the ISA server and changed the router address to 192.168.0.1 (then re-ran ICW) and physically linked it to the switch and thus same subnet. I then setup a static route in Routing and Remote Access from the HQ server to the router and network addresses at branch office and this pinged ok. However the internet access at HQ was then disabled and I don't know if that is the answer to the problem rather just it proves that somewhere in ISA Server the route is blocked. I have enabled IP Routing in ISA server for packet filtering but to no avail. I am really at a loss as how to talk through ISA server. I have setup the branch office network address 192.168.2.0 up in the LAT on ISA Server but still no good. Is it easier to bypass ISA in the end? Does ISA require another ISA Server at the branch office? Would it be simpler to network 2 ISA Server's? I can VPN in using a windows VPN client and RDP to the server using the server's external IP address on the internet. Does this all make sense? Any ideas? Many thanks Sam.

    - Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP) We have an existing SBS server connected to internet with ADSL Router (on a second NIC) and static address. I'm trying to setup a new server (Windows Server 2003 ) that will connect to the internet through a DSL router (ISDN router for the moment) with a static address. This new server will connect to the existing server with Demand-Dial Routing through VPN (PPTP). Using "Connecting a Remote Office to a Small Business Server 2000 Network" white paper I managed to connect the two servers but the connection fails when it's initiated by the remote office server with the following message: "An error occured during connection of the interface. No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept ". When the connection is initiated by the SBS server it works fine. What could be the cause of this? The SBS server was recently upgraded (migration) from 2000 to 2003 premium but the white paper whould still apply... correct? Thank you, Nikos Tag: New Shavlik forum Tag: 161437
