 - Disaster recovery plan Given my client's limited budget for a near line server here is what I proposed. If anyone has any comments/flames/gotchas please let me know. Current config: SBS 2K Sp1 on a PIII built upon SCSI HD's (2 X 72 gig). Currently we have 3 partitions on each drive and each is mirrored in software. Backup is provided by ARCServe 2000, minus any agents. Exchange is backed up to a file via a scheduled ntbackup job and then ARCServe grabs this file. Proposal: Install a removable large IDE drive, periodically ghost the entire server (paritition the large IDE first with 3 partitions) using ghost and partition to partition ghost. Disaster recovery: If the server dies and it is bad, throw the IDE drive in a system similiar in specs to existing server, bring it up on IDE, and then dump data back with ARCServe, dump online Exchange backup file to the HD and then use ntbackup to restore Exchange. Ideas? Thoughts? Bad idea? Ed Russell Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134501

 - Using demon Broadband (UK) with SMTP mail - advice needed OK, I am going to take the plunge and go for SMTP mail instead of using the pop connector. We are about to go from ISDN dial up to broadband, our ISP is demon internet, this will also be a clean SBS2000 install. If I am going for SMTP mail do I need their (demon internet's) "NAT" or "No NAT" option? As I understand it, my SBS2k server will be taking care of NAT so does it matter which product I use? Thanks in advance.. Paul Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134500

Well I was a mug....Using my own email address last night in this NG...347 virus emails....today With the increase of virus email posts and individuals scanning this NG for email addresses..I ask you microsoft..Why can't you stop it ?

 - Slow scrolling in Event Viewer etc. Suddenly screen scrolling (e.g in Event Viewer, dhcp control etc.) on the server is much slower (1/3 the previous speed). Reboot does not fix. Task manager shows c 4% proc activity only. This is first time I have ever noticed a slow down on this machine which was not fixed by a reboot. Only recent activity - installing SUS 1.1 for the first time a week ago (have downloaded patches but not actually 'approved' and rolled them out yet). Any ideas? - memory is 1gb, 2 proc machine.

 - Can no longer get to //myserver/myconsole from my workstation I used to not have to go into the server room, I could just open a browser to http://MyServerName/myconsole and I'd get the server's desktop. Then I went to windowsupdate and got the latest IE, and I can no longer connect to myconsole. Does anyone know what happened?

 - Exchange or SQL on different server Hi all, Before switching off in droves, this isn't the usual question about SBS2K media and installing it elsewhere. Let me explain: I have a client who is looking at adding an extra server to their SBS2K set-up to spread some load, primarily because SQL is vey precious to them. What I want to know is this. Assuming licensing is all correct, is there a problem with running a new installation of either Exchange or SQL on the new server. The SBS install of either of them would be removed from the original server. So for example I could end up with the original server running with "SBS" E2K and the new server running "full product" SQL2K. My biggest concern is whether Exchange would be the biggest stumbling block if run elsewhere, because of the AD tie in. On the face of it it should be like anywhere else running "normal" AD and E2K, but SBS does do some bizarre things! Thanks in advance to those of you who i) stuck with the description ii) can understand it and have an answer!!!! Rich. Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134491

 - New URL We have been using the email format someone@elmmax.co.uk for some time and elmmax.co.uk is the domain that the SBS server is setup to use. We are changing the firm name and in future will use someone@elmhirst.biz. I am not reconfiguring the server and email will still be coming to both addresses. I can get the routing of email addresses sorted by editing individually the user properties page to add an extra smtp address to the list of e-mail addresses. To do this to everyone is a pain and I will have to remember to do this everytime we add a new user. There must be an easier way to do this globally so that mail addressed to fred@elmhirst.biz ends up in the mailbox for fred@elmmax.co.uk Any ideas?

 - ISA server and newsgroups Hello, I've installed ISA server on my 2000 server. When I connect remotely, I can browse the internet and get my pop and smtp mail. My problem is I can't get to the newsgroup servers in outlook express. This is the error message I get: Account: msnews.microsoft.com Server: msnews.microsoft.com port: 119 SSL: 0 Code: 800ccc0d I'm typing this message from the 2000 server on which I setup ISA server. I did setup the port to be opened in IP Packet Filters and that's why I'm able to send this from the server. I don't know why I can't send this from the client. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 - service packs greetings all I have SBS 2000 install on Windows 2000 server, I have installed the service pack for SBS 2000 but when ever check window update page it always tells me I need to install w2k service pack 4, which I cannot install. Is there something in this set up which will prevent me from updating w2k or do I actually need to install a W2K service pack if I have the latest version of the SBS service pack.

 - Viewing shared faxes on XP Pro I have previously posted several requests for help on viewing shared faxes on XP Pro. I have been advised to see article 316418 on every occasion I have done all that is listed in 316418. I am able to pull up the fax console; but I am unable to view(open to view) the faxes that are listed. I can print them but I cannot view them. I get an hourglass for several seconds; but the viewer does not open. The program works properly except for the fact that I cannot view it. I can go to my server(SBS 2000) or any win98 2nd edition machine and view without any problem. Those machines use the Imaging for WIndows Preview program. Is there any place that I can download and install that program to my XP machines? George Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134462

 - Can send but not receive I had another posting over the weekend "Oh No..." this is an extension of those issues. Background: Machine had been hacked in a remote office - one user password stolen. Using that on Port25 to send thru the SBS server. Disabled user account and began cleaning machine. Following Susan and Jim's advice and the MS article they pointed to me - I was able to successfully clean the vs1 bad mail folder. it only had 7GB of messages (over 400,000 total in the last 30 days). After doing that I attempted to secure the machine by removing the check box "allow any computer to relay that authenticates...". per Jim's suggestion I also removed the IP's listed above. I noticed no mail was flowing in-bound. Reran the ICW - it replaced the Ip's that I removed other settings were left alone. But again - no inbound email was received. So now I go to my full-time job and attempt to send an email to the other domain. Does not bounce. Log in via VPN - it is not in my in-box. Nothing inbound shows up. Can send outbound just fine. I grabbed the logs and they looked as follows: Any Ideas? #Software: Microsoft Internet Information Services 5.0 #Version: 1.0 #Date: 2003-10-06 11:52:43 #Fields: time c-ip cs-method cs-uri-stem sc-status 11:52:43 x.x.x.x - - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x EHLO - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x - - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x MAIL - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x - - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x RCPT - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x - - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x XEXCH50 - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x - - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x - - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x BDAT - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x - - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x QUIT - 0 11:52:43 x.x.x.x - - 0 Here at work the sending Exchange server says this: 11:52:24 x.x.x.x EHLO - 250 11:52:24 x.x.x.x MAIL - 250 11:52:24 x.x.x.x RCPT - 250 11:52:24 x.x.x.x xexch50 - 354 11:52:24 x.x.x.x DATA - 250 11:52:24 x.x.x.x QUIT - 0 Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade.

 - Multiple 2003 SBS Hi, Is anybody running multiple small business server. My issue is that we need to run MS Exchange and MS SQL on 2 separate servers. The most cost effective way to purchase this is by buying 2 SBS packages. I know that this is not possible with SBS 4.5. Can anybody confirm if this is possible with SBS 2000 or 2003 Regards, Chris Stephen Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134448

 - Printing problem in TS on Win2k Server Hi there, I have a win2k box running as a terminal server, the problem is that when a user prints a document the document prints fine, however the document stays in the printer cue showing up as printed, and then it randomly prints again later in the day. does anyone have any ideas? other useful info is as follows: Server is win2k (standard configuration, adsl through a cisco router) Printer are HP 1200 (using M$ fix for printing through USB-Dot4) clients are a mix of Windows ME & XP Server is running SP4 with all latest patches. I have tried resetting the permissions on the spooler directory in in system32 etc, but this hasn't made any difference. I have turned of Bi-Directional support for the printer and am waiting to see if this has made a difference. I have checked all permissions (at all levels - user, group, accounts etc), all seem to be okay. I have searched extensivelly through both Google & Microsoft but not found anything yet.

 - IP config with DMZ Hi, I'm wondering whether I have NAT setup correctly as I just read an article that says I should point router NAT translation to the INTERNAL NIC of SBS2000. I also want to include a new server in the DMZ to handle mail using SpamLion, before mail is allowed to go to exchange. I have setup our network layout like this: internet <-> Cisco ADSL Router <-> SBSserver ext. NIC <-> SBS server int. NIC <-> Workstations. on the ADSL router I have an external IP in the 80.xxx.xxx.xxx range On the internal NIC of the ADSL router I configured 172.26.0.100 The external NIC of the SBS server has 172.26.0.99 The internal NIC of the SBS server has 192.168.16.2 All the workstations are in 192.168.16.xxx We run intrusion detection and firewall on the Cisco ADSL router as well. The first question is: - Should I NAT to the internal NIC of the SBS server, on the ADSL router? I have strange behaviour of the ISA server, that suspects rules being not applied. Please find current config below: ip nat inside source list 1 interface ATM0.1 overload ip nat inside source static tcp 172.26.0.99 53 80.33.51.60 53 extendable ip nat inside source static tcp 172.26.0.99 80 80.33.51.60 80 extendable ip nat inside source static tcp 172.26.0.99 25 80.33.51.60 25 extendable ip nat inside source static tcp 172.26.0.99 443 80.33.51.60 443 extendable ip nat inside source static tcp 172.26.0.25 25 80.33.51.60 25 extendable The second question is: - If I'm going to put in an extra server for SpamLion, I would configure it with a DMZ IP of p.e. 172.26.0.101 and have smtp port traffic first go to the new server and only after approval to Exchange. What do I need to configure in SBS2000 to have ISA accept incoming mail from that new server's IP? Thanks! Sam Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134419

 - NEWBIE:- non-NAT and smtp query? Hi everyone, Following continuous problems with the SBS POP3 connector I am upgrading my ADSL connection to allow incoming SMTP mail and have my own mail server. Trouble is the smtp option is non-NAT and I am unsure about how to set it up. I just need email and Internet access for all clients. Previously I just had one IP address as the POP3 mail connection was NAT based. I have now been issued with four IP addresses by my ISP. I understand I need one for the SMTP mail server, but what do I do with the other three? Obviously without the protection of NAT I will need to use the ISA firewall which I do anyway. My router book and ISP helpfiles are all geared towards issuing each client with its own IP address in a standard non-sbs type network. All my 17 clients are issued addresses by the DHCP server in the range 10.0.0.1- upwards presumably this is unchanged. Is there a good step by step guide to setting it up? Do I need to disable NAT in my router which has NAT enable by default? Many thanks, David Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134418

 - Urgent need more C: drive space I have Small Business Server 2000 and i have two partitions on the server not including M: drive(C: and E:). I have a 12GB c: partition and E: is the extended partition which is 56GB. The server has RAID 5 configuration. The problem is that i am desperatly running out of space on the C: drive. I have all of the programs printers and utilities installed on the C: drive. This is including Exchange 2000 and this is taking up a lot of space and it is forever increasing. Is there a way of increasing the C: drive or perhaps moving the location of Exchange to the extended partition (E:)? Please could anybody help me?

 - EMail usage I need to give a client stats on his internet usage (very high ISDN phone bill is the reason). It must be divided into normal browsing and email traffic. The email traffic must pinpoint the users traffic as well. The report needs to give daily usage, which will then be totalled. Does SBS2K have such reporting built into it? I know years back i used Crystal reports 7 built in Exchange reports to do this. Alas i do not have it installed anymore and cannot find such reports in the latest CR.

 - problems with groups and certain emails I have a serious problem on our SBS2000 system. When I send a normal email via a POP3account, with outlook 2002 everything works fine. But when I want to send a Task(mail) over the internet - even to the same person - this (task)mail is getting queued by the Exchange server. I have the same problem when I send mail to a group of internetmailadresses. When I look in the queuelist, I see on the propertiestab that there has been a problem with the DNS server. Looking if the DNS server is installed correctly, I get a positive result. When I invite a person (send a appointmentmail) over the internet, things work fine.

 - OWA Login Problems I have a slight problem with Outlook Web Access that I have not come across before. I have a external member of staff who is trying to access his mail on our server. The problem is that when he enters the address to the site he is instantly confronted with "Error Access Denied", before he can even enter his user credentials. All the other employees who connect remotely are able to connect with no hassle. I have racked my brains on this one trying to see what it could be on his machine but all settings like disable pop-ups etc are set correctly. If anyone is able to help it would be much appreciated.

 - Mail not fully shown in current view Hi (Sorry if this is to the wrong group) One of my users reported that her emails are not 'showing up'. If I look in her inbox then I can see the mail icon on the right hand side and nothing else!! Emails can be opened and read. If I change the view to say unread messages then it shows correctly. Some of her folders display OK, while others only show the mail icon. We are all patched up OK, and have a good AV; I am at a loss as I have never seen this before. Any ideas please?

 - *** SBS News of the Week October 6th 2003 **** Well guys and gals, Kevin took the weekend off to entertain his wife news://msnews.microsoft.com:119/OvKkG44iDHA.3556@tk2msftngp13.phx.gbl [That was very sweet of him] so we're just going to have to hum a few tunes ourselves..... me I've been humming Duran Duran tunes.... http://www.duranduran.com/ Why you ask? Well because they will be at the Partner Celebration in New Orleans next Saturday. http://www.microsoft.com/partner/events/wwpartnerconference/agenda.htm Why is this of any importance [beside reminding me that I had a crush on John Taylor and Simon LeBon in High School and still have a vintage button from that era to prove it?] Because dear SBSers ...unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks you would know that in 3 days and 6 hours SBS2k3 is going to be released at the Partner Conference in New Orleans and while I can't be there... I know some other SBSers that will be. :-) http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/default.mspx -------------------------------------- But before I launch into SBS news... remember SECURITY BULLETIN 03-040 released on FRIDAY NIGHT [that means it's a critical one and exploits of this HAVE been discussed on Full Disclosure and other listserves] There is a IE patch AND a media player patch. Needed on all servers and workstations Shut down A/V, Exchange and even backup [all third party stuff] before doing Windows Update on your servers. Consider as a best practice rebooting your server before updating to ensure that and post patch issue is truly a post patch issue. Remember, any issue caused by a security bulletin is a free PSS call. Make sure you tell them you are a SBSer to get to Texas and North Carolina. -------------------------------------- Internet Week > Review: Microsoft SBS 2003 > Review: Microsoft Small Business Server Is An Attractive Alternative > October 5, 2003: http://www.internetwk.com/breakingNews/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=15201327 CRN : Daily Archives : CRN Test Center Review: Small Business Server 2003 : 8:12 PM EST Thurs., Oct. 02, 2003: http://www.crn.com/sections/BreakingNews/dailyarchives.asp?ArticleID=44882 Internet Week > Microsoft Windows > Windows Small Business Server Priced To Beat Linux > October 2, 2003: http://www.internetwk.com/breakingNews/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=15201126 ENT News | News: Windows Small Business Server Commercially Available Next Week: http://www.entmag.com/news/article.asp?EditorialsID=5976 Microsoft set to ship Windows Server small biz package: http://www.nwfusion.com/net.worker/news/2003/1001microsett.html ------------------------------------ Bottom line if you don't have a preview kit, or downloaded it from MSDN, you need to Preview Kit for Windows Small Business Server 2003 Release Candidate (RC): http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/kit.mspx ------------------------------------- Okay.... don't want to do even that... got to a hands on lab Microsoft Partner Readiness: http://www.msusapartnerreadiness.com/sbs2003.asp [Harry Bbbb will be teaching in some of these sites] --------------------------------- Okay how about listening to the Webcast about SBS2k3 http://www.msusapartnerreadiness.com/msft091603.wmv --------------------------------- Or how about the online hands on lab?

 - Way OT Anyone know of a way to recover a sheet within an excel spreadsheet??? There is no backup of the actual file, it has been resaved to its original file name, and I think I am out of luck. Client accidentally deleted a very important sheet from within their xls file, saved it, and now needs it back. Of course that was while at home where they dont have ANY backup plan....gotta love those home users that refuse to VPN in before working.... Anyway, I have used programs to recover deleted files and what not, was curious if anyone has had experience/luck with something like this. Once again, thanks in advance, JKinSD Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134394

 - log off, save files Has anyone implemented the winexit.scr from the 2k resource cd? I have a 40 or so XP client network of SBS2K and would like to use this to automatically logoff a user after 60min. Anything I need to look out for? The only catch I see at the moment is implementing keystokes (to emulate) closing/saving files before forcing the logoff for each user. This is where I need help...MS doesnt have much, (kb 31499) from my quick KB search, about registry entries to do this. Will autosave save the document if it hasnt been already saved once??? If so, ill keep quiet and just use that, if not, its lame and wont do what I really need it to do, which is save the document before forcing a logoff no matter what. I have looked into the third party products that do it, (sdpluspro, winoff) and they work awesome. I really dont want to worry about customized installs (or the fact that its a third party product) when I know its a simple registry entry on the client machine that I can push out through policies.

 - Windows 98 Roaming Profile Problem Hi All, I am having a problem using windows 98 roaming profiles. Every so often when logging in the user is presented with the desktop of the default user, with the shortcuts to the home folders of the users who have logged in displayed on the desktop along with the company folder. Some of these shortcut are not able to be to removed and are shown as invalid in the properties. Click on the folder for the logged will restore the desktop. Any ideas?

 - RRAS service fails to start /Event 20103 After reading and following the suggestions in Q299013 to get RRAS started on my SBS2000 server, I've started pulling out my (too sparse) hair. It is apparently unable to load iprtrmgr.dll, though the dll is in the right path, and all registry keys are per specs. The final recommendation in that article is to remove and reinstall TCP/IP. I'd just as soon pull out the rest of my hair! Have any of you out there come across and resolved this problem in a less-catastrophic way? I'm trying to set it up for VPN access. I'm running the server as a DC with Exchange 2000 Server, separate external and internal NIC's, an IDSL router from our ISP, and 9 workstations. What gets me is that I was running it successfully till a few months ago, and I'm not aware of anything happening at the server end (my client PC at home, at about that time, suffered a fried I/O dept resulting from a power spike). I'd really appreciate your input . . . Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134387

 - NTBackup stopped before completing I was using NTBackup (via the wizard) to back up the server to a hard drive (drives/files, exchange store, and Systat state). About half way through it stopped the backup, reporting no more space available, eventhough there was still 27GB free (and it had only use about 4GB out of an estimated 10GB of needed storage).

 - Cumulative Patch for October 2003 froze SBS Hey everyone, I installed the Cumulative Patch for October 2003 on one of my servers, an SBS2000, SP1 (still have SP3 on Win2k.) Well, the server froze right after it was installed (via Windows Update.) I have not had a server freeze like this in a long time. Has anyone experienced the problem. First freeze in six months. I don't know if the patch installed but I checked afterwards and it did install. I am pretty pissed off at this point. JohnJ Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134373

 - 2 NIC Setup for SBS - Customer Reasons Why? I have quite a number of installations with SBS2000 now and after a disasterous first try in 2001, all since have been with the "recommended" two NIC solution (I also use a hardware firewall as well, ususally just a basic router with some port forwarding). Anyway, I recently encoutered a customer situation where I needed to "justify" why setup the SBS box as the "gateway" to the world, while I already had a "firewall"/router. "Why pass all that traffic through the server?" was the question I got from this person over and over. I did the security aspect, with NAT within a NAT. I did the proxy cache for speed aspect. I did the ISA Server allowing packet filtering and reporting. "What if people still needed to use the internet if the server goes down was another" - Now on that one I tried to keep a straight face and told him that I don't think that will be a problem, and if it is, keeping your people on the web is the least of your problems.... What I am asking from all of you "experts"...Is what would have been your top reasons (Customer reasons - not too technical now people...they have to understand it remember....) Here's the rules....It has to be in an elevator format...if the reason takes longer than two minutes to explain, it doesn't count....hehehehe Let the games begin!

 - License Manager Hi! Another event log error. LicenseService Event ID" 202 I believe all my licenses are correct. The error window informs to search in the License Manager from Administrator Tools. When I try to do this, it says it's not available for SBS. I can go to the server on the Administrators Console and hit help (I think it was help), anyway it said we have 35 licenses which is correct. What license could it be referring to? I've been trying to get VPN or TS connections going. We do have 5 TS licenses, but how do I know what license it is referring to. Do I sound confused? I am. Any help would be appreciated.

 - NNTPSVC Hi! My server's system log is being overrun with EventID 420/421 for NNTPSVC. It's about a pickup report. I assume it also has something to do with me not being able to access this newsgroup from the office. Any ideas? Anything I read says to stop the NNTPSVC and set it to manual.

 - Cannot Access Exchange Server Hi, We have recently had a few problems with MSExchange logins. When trying to access Outlook on certain workstations it just times-out and cannot access mailbox. Error say 'server is unavailable' appears, giving options to workoffline, try again & cancel. Sometimes if we try again, it will connect, but usually it just won't. Not sure why, but on all other workstations everything is fine? Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134325

 - Client ODBC and Enterprise Manager fail to connect. I am setting up a migration upgrade from SBS 4.5 to 2000. On our current server, I am running Win NT 4.0 and SQL Server 2000 without problems. On a seperate switch, I have set up a new server with SBS 2000 running SQL Server 2000 and cannot get a client computer to connect to the the SQL server database using Enterprise Manager. Enterprise Manager works fine on the server console. ODBC connections fail in the same manner giving an ODBC Timeout error. Server Connection is set to use TCP/IP on port 1433, clients are set to use TCP/IP and dynamic port acquisition. Client logs in to server without problems, and exchange works fine too. Any ideas on what could cause the communication problem? Thanks, Steve Tag: Slow system shudown after In-place upgrade. Tag: 134311

 - How to add a Domain management to a bunch of LAN-connected PCs ? It's been NT3.51-days since I was asked to bring a Domain server into an existing PC LAN, from scratch. My user has a couple dozen users and a LAN with a small-business sdsl internet connection. The company has just bought a SBS server and has asked me to do the setup. It's up as a generic SBS server right now. In my first test I was reminded that when a PC joins the domain and the user gets a domain login he gets an entire new generic desktop and credentials. All his investment in application setup and customization is gone. Is there some trick to import or retain the current setup for each user as I go around ? The users do use what ever version fo Office and Outlook that came with the PC when purchased. They do intend to move onto the exchange server shortly. I've een asked to make this a user PC lockdown site. How practical is this today ? Until now I've always worked in an engineering environemnt where the usered needed local control so I never tried it. The user machines have lots of obscure industry-specific applications installed on them, by hand. There are only a couple of dozen machines, not enough to get into cloaning but enough to make redoing by hand a pain.

 - Disaster Recovery Prep... Hi, I have almost finished installing a new SBS 2000 server for my first client and so far so good. I have had a few problems along the way, which I have managed to overcome with the help of Merv and Javier. This morning I woke up thinking disaster recovery. What the hell would I do, if the RAID crashed or someone nicked the server. (Heaven forbid) Does happen though. Does anyone know of any hard and fast rules as to which files are essential in the backup routine. I'm currently backing up the entire system partition, excluding the cache, i386 folder and the Dell drivers folder. Also, any procedures for rebuilding a server from tape??? Cheers Guys...

I have noticed a common symptom of several SBS 2000 upgrades from 4.5. The
systems take a long time (5-10 minutes) to shutdown. If I stop the Exchange
server it shuts down in a reasonable amount of time (less than 2 min).

I have successfully upgraded 3 separate SBS 4.5 to 2000 and have noticed
this in each case. I have not noticed this in any of my fresh installs of
SBS.

Any ideas?
Could it have anything to do with service dependencies?

Thanks,
John
