 - installing ISA on SBS2000 OEM Hello, I've installed SBS2000 OEM without ISA server few months ago. Now I'd like to add ISA Server, but when I try to install it from the SBS CD # 2 , ISA Setup asks me for a 10-digit serial number. Is it possible to install it without troubles? I tried to run SBS setup from SBS2000 CD #1, but I had strange feeling like it wanted to format my server's hard disk. Please help me how to install ISA on already installed SBS2000 OEM. Or maybe there is another simple way to trace my users' Internet traffic? Best Regards, Marek Hryceniak Tag: <<>> Tag: 158710

 - VPN with 2 SBS server sites. Hi, I have a quick ? that I hope is just something simple I hope. I have a sbs2000 server I am administering at the office and then I have one at my home which I have setup but I cannot get the VPN between the two to work. What is the best why to do this. They both have ISA server using a dual nic setup. I can login from a normal workstation anywhere so I know the vpn works at the office. As far as checks. It does login but I cant ping the server name howeer I can ping the remote server ip. Seems to be a dns issue. Is there a better way to set this up? Eddie Tag: <<>> Tag: 158703

 - Can't mount a restored information store Hi Folks Hope you can help. Following a disk catastrophy at the weekend, I have been trying to restore an Exchange Server 2K backup. For reasons too painful to go into, I only have access to an old back up (over a month ago). I have restored this to a new disk but I cannot pursuade Exchange to mount it. It fails with the error message 'An internal processing error...... ID No c1041724'. According to the MS KB, this is typically a problem with inconsistencies between the databases and the log file. I have followed the advice in KB article 301438. When I try to re-backup the database, MS Backup gives an error the significant bit of which is: "backup started on 24/05/2004 at 17:00. WARNING: Portions of "\Private Information Store (CUREE01)" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete. This file will not restore correctly. WARNING: Portions of "\Public Information Store (CUREE01)" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete. This file will not restore correctly. WARNING: Portions of "\Log Files" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete. This file will not restore correctly. Backup completed on 24/05/2004 at 17:00. Directories: 4 Files: 0 Bytes: 0 Time: 1 second" However, when I run eseutil /mh on the stores, I get no errors and it completes in 2 seconds. Eseutil /p on the log file also completes without error. But if I delete the log files and try again to mount the stores, the error is the same and another E00.log file (about 5 MB) is created along with an E00.chk and a res1.log and res2.log file. Is there anything I can do to get this store into a useable state? I have a major disaster on my hands if not! The KB warns against a 'hard repair' which it says will not result in useable data, so I am trying to avoid this. Thanks for your help, if you can. Paul Coventry UK Tag: <<>> Tag: 158700

 - Moving to new server Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to moving a working SBS2000 installation over to a new server? I am particularly concerned about things like the additional SBS2k CALs which are on floppy. Nothing from the old machine will be used in the new one, with the exception of the software licenses. I had a quick look around smallbizserver.net and although there is a guide for 2003, it didn't cover the issues I was looking for. Searching support.microsoft.com didn't really help, either.

 - IMAP versus Microsoft Exchange Server Account ??? differnece.. I'm a little confused about the difference between a "IMAP" account and a "Microsoft Exchange Server" account. What is the big difference? My question is: Does IMAP leaves you're emails on the server? I have configured a client with the type="Microsoft Exchange Server" and i see that the mail are kept on the server. he always syncronize the messages. Thats ok, understand that But with imap, also configured it, i don't see a syncronization.... they say is downloads personal folders that are shared. But does you're emails stays in the personal folders or do you download them on you'r epc without leaving it on you're pc but still access to a public folder? Or does IMAP keeps a copy on the server.? Greetings Gerrit Tag: <<>> Tag: 158691

 - <> Song of the week news://msnews.microsoft.com/OLa13v6PEHA.2348@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl Kevin provides us with a "Song for the Cals" -------------------- Patches of interest to SBSers this week 835734 Many unexpected outbound e-mail messages appear in the SMTP queue in http://support.microsoft.com/?id=835734 [that link not quite live as of 12:45 on Friday... should be shortly though....] Download details: Update for Windows Small Business Server 2003: KB 835734: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7b1ff109-092e-4418-aa37-a53af7b8f6fc&DisplayLang=en There is a problem with how the POP3 connector processes certain messages downloaded from a POP3 server. This problem could result in the POP3 connector accidentally re-sending certain messages to recipients who are not part of the SBS server e-mail domain. This may happen only in the cases where the POP3 connector is used to download mail from an external POP account. Customers using Exchange to host their mail internally will not experience this problem. This update resolves this issue. All SBS customers are encouraged to install this update. -------------------- So I'm reading the RSS feed of Mary Jo Foley and spot this one..... read between the lines guys...that's our SBS Fallover server. If you want a backup server that is an exact copy, you now have the right to load it up with your SBS2k3 Software Assurance media.

A study on identity theft by Judith Collins, a professor at Michigan State University, to be released later this year, shows that up to 70% of identity theft cases result from the theft of personal information by company insiders, such as employees or company bosses. The study examined 1,037 identity theft cases from around the US, revealing that 50% of identities were definitely stolen by insiders and another 20% were probably stolen by insiders. Many instances of insider identity theft occur in the financial services and medical sectors, sometimes as part of organized crime schemes. The findings somewhat contradict the conventional wisdom that identity theft results mainly from hacking into databases and 'dumpster diving'. A bill has been introduced in the US House of Representatives, the 'Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act,' which would punish identity theft committed by insiders more severely than other forms of identity theft. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5015565 ------------------- At a hearing of the US Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, on May 20, 2004, on the effectiveness of the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act of 2003, lawmakers urged the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to become more aggressive in going after illegal spammers. According to FTC chairman Timothy J. Muris, the FTC has already pursued several spammers under the Act, while the FBI is poised to launch criminal cases against as many as 50 leading spammers later this year, according to Jana Monroe, the FBI's assistant director of the cyber division. Committee chairman Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) suggested that law enforcement agencies should target companies that use spammers to advertise their products if they are unable to apprehend the spammers themselves. It is still unclear how well the CAN-SPAM Act will work. By some accounts the number of spam e-mails continues to grow, but experts believe law enforcement also needs time to build cases against violators. http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/05/20/HNcanspamimpact_1.html ------------------------ Regulators in several US states, including New York and California, are moving ahead with rules concerning Internet telephony and voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) technologies, potentially bringing them in conflict with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is expected to rule on VoIP regulation in the next few months. A debate has been raging over whether, and to what extent, to regulate the emerging Net-phoning market. One of the points of contention is whether VoIP and similar services should be regulated like 'traditional' telephone services. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-5217512.html ------------------- Software giant Microsoft Corp. is including new anti-spam technology in its products, but it is still unclear when the tools will start shipping, according to Ryan Hamlin, general manager of Microsoft?s Anti-Spam Technology and Strategy group. The company's SmartScreen technology will filter outbound e-mail messages and will operate "at the enterprise level, on e-mail servers and gateways, or at the client level on desktops". A second technology will require e-mail senders to perform a small computational task that could make mass-mailings impractical. Microsoft is also collaborating with AOL Time Warner Inc., Yahoo Inc. and EarthLink Inc. in an anti-spam working group. http://www.gcn.com/vol1_no1/daily-updates/25957-1.html ---------------------- Due to the introduction in recent years of a variety of cyber security-related laws and regulations, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Basel II Accord, regulation compliance has replaced anti-hacker protection and other security concerns as the most important issue for many large organizations. Laws and regulations contain numerous requirements, particularly concerning protecting personal information, but do not specify which security and privacy tools and technologies should be used to comply. This has opened up a huge market for resellers and systems integrators that develop company-specific solutions to help ensure regulation compliance. http://channelzone.ziffdavis.com/article2/0,1759,1594080,00.asp ---------------------- A bit of a pain to download, but an excellent resource on Anti-Virus Download details: The Antivirus Defense-in-Depth Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F24A8CE3-63A4-45A1-97B6-3FEF52F63ABB&displaylang=en -------------------------- Hacker group gets dose of own medicine An alliance called Hackers Against America (HAA) as received a dose of its own medicine with its own website having been defaced, according to information at the defacement archive Zone-H.org.

 - wins server Due to a hardware failure in sbs 2000 and the time consumed in its repair of both mail and all other services, we decided to put a new sbs 2000 server in place. this was installed and pathched and all users setup, using the same server name and domain name all seemed fine untill we introduced it to the network, the first thing we noticed was that some units would not log in, so we decided to remove the unit from the domain and reregit back to the domain. On rereg it stated the domain could not be contacted yet its ip was provided by the server and it had been placed in the servers dns. If you log into the network as administrator services can be seen but we dont have a master browser service. Looking at the server we find Wins service has stated but MSwins service in the mmc state it cannot connect due to "path not found" we seen to have lost some connectivity within out network and although we have reinstalled all the tcp services and network services we cannot get wins to correctly connect. Technet has provided only one solution to this type of problem relating to file/print sharing and remote reg service but they seem fine.

 - SBS 2003 - Appletalk zone is blank! How do you add the zone Hello I just installed a SBS 2003 server in my network which replaced an old NT 4.0 SBS. I have successfully setup all network services with the exception of Appletalk. I install File and Print services for Macintosh and it auto installs Appletalk. Looking at the properties of Appletalk reveals that there is no zone. I have tried various ways of adding the zone, installing the protocols in different orders and I am still getting a blank zone I would assume that the zone should be configured as domainname.local. i tried connecting to this on a couple of MACs with the syntax: afp://domainname.local:domainname (like in previous nt environment) and it will not enumerate the zone I have also tried removing the .local and no go What am I doing wrong?

 - Exchange on SBS2000 replacement server I am moving to a new server and need to keep everything exactly the same as the old server(improved hardware). I have used a toll called Ideal Migration and I have moved all of the users, groups, printers, ports, permissions etc. This tool did not however move the mail boxes for Exchange. I have exported the mail boxes to a memeber server and I have moved all of the data and profiles to the member server(This enables me to just remove the original DC and put the new one in place). I can then move all of the data and create the shared folders. My question is does anyone know 1)Ideal Migration migrates the network shares for the users? 2) When I migrate the pkl file back in to the new server do I need to do anything else for Exchange? 3) When I exported the mail boxes using the migration tool it took about 7 hours. Is this normal? 4) When I setup SBS2K on the replacement hardware the M drive appears to have a folder in it that is not named the same as the M drive on the original server. Does anyone know why?

 - shot in the dark - routing issues Hi, I we are running SBS2000. We are building an application which will connect to a 3rd party vendor via a private point-to-point frame relay connection. Our internal SBS network is on the 192.168.16.0 subnet and the private network is on the 192.168.64.0 subnet. We have a webserver which will recieve requests, contact the private server, get a response and send it back to the client. The webserver has an IP on the internal and private network (it essentially is straddling both networks). I have added a static route on the webserver sending all requests for a certain IP to the private network. >>route add xxx.xxx.xxx.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.64.1 From the webserver, I can successfully ping the private 3rd party server via our private network (tracert goes through the private gateway). When I run the tcpClient app (called from the webserver), it tries to connect via the internal gateway (with the static route, it should be using the private gateway). Why would pinging route properly but the client not? Is there something I need to do at the SBServer level to force all requests for the private network to the private gateway? (I thought the static route would handle it) I'm kinda stumped... Tag: <<>> Tag: 158554

 - SBS Terminals Svcs / 2000 v 2003 I read over and over that using Term Svcs (Remote Admin) to runn app's (mostly Office apps in my case) is not a good idea. I work 50-50 out of 2 locations and need to consolidate data/email that is now duplicated between stand-alone desktops at each location. Friend of mine uses SBS/TS to run app's and thinks it's the most efficient way to do this - since only screen data goes across the net. I sometimes work with large ACCESS databases, etc. that would pump a lot of data. TS wouldn't be used by anyone besides myself. How bad an idea is it really? I'm installing SBS 2000 after procrastinating for 2 years - should I really be installing 2003, or should I get 2000 working and upgrade when I need it Many thanks. Tag: <<>> Tag: 158552

 - Client Win Auto Upd not working The workstations in the domain behind the ISA server are unable to get Windows Automatic Updates when scheduled at 3am. The error on the workstation is: Event Type: Warning Event Source: Automatic Updates Event Category: Download Event ID: 16 Date: 5/21/2004 Time: 8:14:31 AM User: N/A Computer: TBDN30 Description: Unable to connect: Windows is unable to connect to the Automatic Updates service and therefore cannot download and install updates according to the set schedule. Windows will continue to try to establish a connection. I have checked and applied (if applicable) the following: Q241783 , Q312955 , Q328010 , Q824208 , Q830750 I have made sure WPAD is in DNS. I have opened 443 on the ISA server using a packet filter. Workstations fail regardless if they are using the WSP Firewall Client or not. All use the IP address of the ISA server as the proxy server, port 8080. I've posted here before with no replies, so I hope this is enough information to start. BTW, from the workstation just going to www.windowsupdate.com and doing an update works just fine. Tag: <<>> Tag: 158551

 - VPN Solution suggestions I actually have two questions. The first is dealing with SBS2K and WinGate. Is this a good solution for a VPN or is their something better? My next question has to do with SBS2K3 with 1 NIC setup and a Linksys BEFVP41 VPN router. Do I just setup the router and allow access to the LAN or do I have to setup anything in SBS2K3? I figure that ISA Server won't be a problem since I'm using the 1 NIC setup. All recommendations are welcome, however, I must add that the 1 NIC setup was the work of another consultant who setup the wiring closet in such a way that I cannot safely or even neatly implement a 2 NIC setup. I have informed the client that this is not the recommended setup, but their response is to work with what is available. Thanks in advance, MIke Tag: <<>> Tag: 158550

 - VPN error 800 I think that one of the MS hotfixes has whacked the VPN setup, and is causing Error 800. Today, I was at a client site that I haven't been to in about a month, and did all the MS hotfixes and updates in that time period. I just tried to VPN in remotely to that site, and I get Error 800. The VPN to this site has been absolutely flawless to this point. This happened at another client site previously - same symptoms.

 - Users on slow connections + private contacts in OWA Hi, SBS2K W2K + WinXP Outlook2000 (+ Outlook XP) 1) I've been trying to figure out how to setup users on slow connections. Users are using VPN to connect to the Exchange-server, but some are having problems because of the rather small connection they're using. So I was hoping to set up the users to use "Offline-mode" and then synchronise once in a while, (probably every 5 min - which should happend in the background and thereby not "lock" Outlook when opening rather large emails). But... At the same time users have the need to access each others calendars, which is not possible in off-line mode. Or am I wrong? What I'm ideally looking for is having all mail synchronised to a local copy on the client but at the same time keeping the option to watch others calendars. Local mail but online calendar. Is this possible or are there alternatives (of course besides looking at the bandwidth)? 2) When you create a new email in Outlook, one can press "To:" and get access to GAL *and* Contacts. But this not possible in the OWA - only the GAL is available by search. Am I wrong, is it working as designed, or ?? Anon Tag: <<>> Tag: 158512

 - Client Internet Connection Problem Client workstation on a new SBS 2003 domain. Workstation is using WinXP with SP1, IE 6 with all patches and updates and Outlook 2003. Also is running Norton AV Corp 8.1 and regular Adaware scans w/proper updates of course. When the user tries to access the Internet using IE, she will get the error "DNS/page cannot be found". This happens more times than not. If she clicks refresh, the page will display. This is apparently happening only on this PC (there are 11 others). This did not happen with the prior workgroup setup, only since the SBS conversion. It seems to be a DNS type error but since all PCs are setup with DHCP to populate the settings, I would think that would be ruled out especially since this appears to be the only PC affected. Any ideas? Bill Tag: <<>> Tag: 158509

 - Exchange mailbox rule problem Hello there. I'm having a problem with an automatic rule which I have created in the Outlook 2002 rules wizard. We have Symantec Filtering for Exchange and also Symantec Anti Virus for SMTP gateways installed on our SBS 2000. The email notification messages that are automatically generated by the anti virus system when a virus is detected in incoming email messages have become a real hinderance. We started to try to move these notification messages out of the users inboxes by creating a rule to pick out any message with "quarantined attachment" in the message header and move it to a secondary email folder in the mailboxes' inbox. The strange thing is that this method works fine when you opt to "run the rule now" manually but it fails to move these messages automatically. If any other criteria for re-directing messages is used it works fine too. I have tried creating a message using my webmail account and attaching a text file called quarantined attachment.txt. This puts the relavent text into the message header. When these messages arrive in my users mailboxes the rule works automatically. Has anyone experienced this kind of behaviour with Outlook 2002 / Exchange Server 2000? Has anyone got any ideas how I can work around this problem? Thanks very Much, Shane Molloy. UK.

 - SBS2000 Upgrade options????? We currently have a client running SBS2000 with approx 45 users. The company is just about to expand by another 40 users this will push us over the thershold for SBS2000 and SBS2003. I am interested in the upgrade options available. I have been trawling the microsoft website for dirrerent options but drawn a couple of blanks so thought I would turn to the masses for advice. 1. I Understand a small business server is not going to be an option and I am going to have to move to server plus exchange. 2. Microsoft offered the SBS2000 Migration Pack, which to my understanding was to help move from SBS to seperates. But to my understanding this has now been discontinued and replaced by the SBS2003 Transition Pack. Now will the SBS2003 transition pack get me from SBS2000 to Server 2003 seperates or do you have to upgrade to SBS2003 which is a pointless exercise as our clients will be too big for this. The CAL's on the SBS2000 are OEM and there for dont have software assurance so also I belive these cannot be used in conjunction with SBS2003. What is going to be the cheapest option for the upgrade? Buying Server2003 and Exchange 2003 seperate or is there a migration pack that will take us from SBS2000 to Server 2003??? Many Thanks David Tag: <<>> Tag: 158499

 - Migrate mailboxes SBS2000 to Exchange 2003 Standard Have client currently running SBS2000. Want to migrate to straight Windows 2003 environment. Aiming to exceed 75 users and have separate servers for SQL and Exchange. My question is regarding the best way to migrate the users mailboxes from the SBS2000 Exchange to standard Exchange 2003. Would we: 1. Use AD Migration Tool? 2. Use Move mailbox tool in AD Users and Computers? 3. Exmerge to PST. Reimport to new mailbox? Ideally I would like to minimise downtime and get as much setup of the new servers done offsite beforehand. As such I was thinking of creating a new domain and migrating the data across. However searching the newsgroups the prevaling approach would seem to be put the new servers into the existing SBS2000 domain and transfer FMSO and Global Catalog. Then turn off the SBS. I will consider either option. Regards Darwood Tag: <<>> Tag: 158491

 - SBS 2003 - Fault Tolerance I have an issue with a server running SBS2003 std edition, and wonder if anyone has any constructive advice: The server is in use and developed a physical problem with hard drive number 1, (a 3 partitioned system mirror drive) I replaced this drive and attempted to re-build the mirror from the default operating system drive number 0, it re- built 2 out of 3, but failed to mirror the actual operating system partition. Further investigation showed the existing drive number 0, to contain a bad block, presumably preventing the re-sync. The most recent and now only complete system backup also failed, rendering it useless, which is what alerted me to the condition. Can anyone see a way for me to now replace the existing drive 0 and restore the system back to a fault tolerant condition without having to resort to a complete operating system re-install.
