    - Moving SBS2000 to New Hardware Hi I would appreciate some assistance on the best way to moving an existing SBS 2000 server to new hardware. The client has approx 30 PCs, one SBS 2000 server and two Windows 2000 Servers If possible we do not want to change the domain name, ideally switch off old server, install and switch on new server with no changes to existing W2K servers or clients. SBS2000 server is mainly used for Exchange and as its a Pentium III 650 needs an upgrade! Tag: Small Business Tag: 161409

    - How to transfer/import client's Outlook *.pst file to SBS 2000 Exchange..... Hello all, My client is currently running Windows 2000 Professional workstations with Office 2000 Professional on a Windows NT 4.0 server. They each (6 in all) have a great deal of information in their Outlook folders as well as rules. Here's my question; is there an easy way to transfer each of their Outlook *.pst folders (including their rules) to the SBS 2000 server's Exchange? Can anyone provide me with some links that have worked for them? TIA John Vighetto Tag: Small Business Tag: 161405

    - Hi to all you folks As the subject says, firt I wanna to send greeting to all of the participiants of this group. We are the firm situated in Dubrovnik, Croatia which has recently purchased a Windows 2003 SMB Server Premium edition (Academic Release). We moved from our email pop account to excange and establish local domain. Could you people help me with this stuffs: 1) How can I register a SMB with MS to get a tech support.? 2) How can I install ISA firewall clients on the machines? 3) How can I encrease manage security log setting for each workstation in domain? 4) How can I manage synchronization setting (eg. some of our laptop workstations are for some reason going in offline mode?) MS software are well documented, and there are lot of stuff on groups, net but I want to hear what are the best practice to manage first two or three basics steps to configure SMB to work correctly (e.g. http://companyweb are not working-> says bad request) Also I must point that I (as possible administrator of SMB 2003) did not installed it, it has be done by the company who sold us a Fujitsu-Siemens server, and they have not finished all the work. Thanky you in advance.. Tag: Small Business Tag: 161398

    - SBS2003 wont start - recovery help please Hi everyone I have a system running Windows SBS2003.. its on a RAID5 array which had some failures and caused some system corruptions as a result. I have repaired the array but SBS2003 wont start. Basically it was saying that it is missing system32\config\system - so I went into the recovery console and copied the system.sav file to system.. unfortunately the system.sav file is from when it was first installed. There is no Emergency Repair Disk or Automated Recovery Disk available. There are tape backups of SYSTEM STATE available. I have confirmed the data is still okay on the array? Whats the best way to recover this system? Would putting in a temporary drive, doing a SBS2003 install on that temp drive, then restoring system state from tape, and then copying the necessary files back to the original sbs2003 installation fix this?

    - VPN from Draytek Vigor 2900 - remote client can't ping local LAN Hi all, Hopefully we're missing something simple and someone can point us in the right direction. Central Office: SBS2000 - set-up as noted below: Cable Modem Broadband Router - passthrough for PPTP VPN enabled [int - 192.168.42.10] External NIC on SBS [192.168.42.2] ISA 2000 Internal NIC on SBS [172.16.0.1] LAN [172.16.0.x] Remote Office: ADSL Broadband Router - Draytek Vigor 2900Gi [int - 192.168.45.150] PC - fixed IP - 192.168.45.160 As those who are familiar with the Vigor range will know, the Draytek kit can initiate a VPN call [it can also act as a VPN Server if required]. We can initiate a full-time VPN connection from the Vigor to our SBS box across the Internet no problem but the remote PC cannot ping anything on the LAN IP range. This is kinda critical from a testing perspective as the crux of this is to eventually implement an IP hardphone within the Remote office, connecting to the VoIP-enabled telephone system on the LAN at the Central office. We're sure this has to be a fairly basic routing issue and that we should be able to add a route somehow to 'force' the VPN traffic back to the remote LAN. Problem is we can't for the life of us work out what to do! Anyone got any pointers? Cheers, David Tag: Small Business Tag: 161382

    - Remote Desktop Does anyone know of a good remote desktop client than can do the following: What we are looking for is something where someone on out WAN can goto a webpage, and request a chat. From there they can tell us what their problem is, and then if needed, we can take control of there system from the inthernet through Port 80. If anyone can point me in the rigth direction on this, I would appreciate it! Keith MMS IT Department ksylvester@funddrive.com Tag: Small Business Tag: 161376

    - Site Bandwidth Managemnt Hello All, We have an SBS2k that has four satellites connected via VPN as well as RAS users. The satellite offices are connected via router to our SBS VPN with each site using a different class C private subnet. My question, are there settings on SBS that I need to adjust so that the system can determine that if a traffic has to go to a satellite site subnet, that it will adjust accordingly? I've read about replication on AD and Exchange and using sites to control traffic, but since we're using SBS, we don't have multiple servers. I'm just trying to figure out if we need to make adjustments to the SBS to make it process traffic more efficiently. Second part of my question is: should the subnets from the satellite offices be included in the LAT of ISA? Thank you all for your comments. Reggie Dones Tag: Small Business Tag: 161374

    - account lockout issues... I have a couple of question regarding the account lockout policy. 1) I had originally set a local policy on our Win2K terminal server such that 3 invalid logon attempts would cause an account lockout. Later on, I had applied a domain wide policy (on our SBS 2000 server) that set it to 5 invalid attempts. I assumed the domain policy would override any local policy but it doesn't seem to. If a user logs on 3 times with an incorrect password, it will still lock them out! Also becuase we have been having problems with users being locked out, I decided to completely eliminate the lock out. So , I disabled account lockouts in both the domain policy on the SBS 200 server and the local policy on the win2K terminal server. I am still getting accounts locking out after 3 invalid attempts. What gives? Can anyone help me? 2) Also, maybe I need a lesson on what can cause a lockout... We have a user who brings in his home laptop to copy drawings off our server so he can work from home. I configured his laptop so that he has the same drive mappings he has on his work machine. Two drive mappings point to shares on our win2K server that is part of our domain. The other mapping points to a share that is on an older NT 4 server - which is NOT part of the domain. When he logs onto his laptop, he is logging on locally - not as part of the domain. (It's winxp home edition). When I set up his shares, I configured the appropriate domain\username and password so it would connect. For the NT 4 share which is part of a workgroup (not in our domain) I configured his username and password excluding the domain. The problem is, as soon as he logs on and double clicks one of his mapped drives, it asks for his password and when he enters that, it says it has locked him out!!! Why would the account be locking out when I have specified the domain/username and passwords to use for the drive mappings? There is only two drive mappings that use his domain username/password. If the lockout was set to 3 invalid attempts, why is it locking out when there are only two mappings ??? I am obviously missing something here... Thanks Brad Tag: Small Business Tag: 161370

    - VPN client dials in and the office network neighbourhood goes blank Hi, We have an SBS2000 server setup, running file, print, exchange, ISA and VPN. We have 1 user who works half his time from home and uses VPN to log into the office network for email download from exchange and file browsing hte network. This works files for the client and office users, except for one small problem. When the user VPN's in to the office, the network neighbourhood here does not show any local computers. They are still accessible just not visible. Can anyone help point me in hte right direction. The SBS2000 box does DHCP. All clients are XPPro or 2k. Network using TCP/IP only. One other thing, the remote user's laptop is not on the domain.. His username and password are the same on the domain + laptop so his login works fine. Tag: Small Business Tag: 161362

    - Using Ghost Hi all I have succumbed to the fact that my C drive is going to run out of space sooner or later and I need to move it to a new drive. My current setup is 3 x 36gb scsi disks 1st disk 8gb C drive system files and 28gb D drive program files and exchange logs 2nd disk 33.91gb user data 3rd disk 33.91gb exchange info store I want to move the 1st disk to a new 36gb disk so I can expand the C drive to 20gb? so I need to ghost the C drive and move it. I would also like to keep the D drive on the 1st disk with the remaining space so I would probably need to ghost that too. How would I do this? Would I have to stop any services while I ghost the original drive? Do I then swap the disks and image the new disk? So many questions from a nervous IT bod!

    - Terminal Services Manager Hi I am using terminal services to connect clients remotely. When they disconnect it still shows the processes that they are using. When they log in again it allows them to connect but creates a different connection. Therefore on the screen in the terminal services manager appears a user name saying connected and the same username saying disconnected (from the previous log out). So I have to right click on the user name saying disconnected and click 'Reset'. Then the processes and their name disappears. Do I always have to reset their last log out?

    - Outbound Mail Hi everyone, I just installed a 2003 small business server - including running the internet & email wizard - but I cannot send mail for some reason. I've tried using both DNS and a smarthost to route mail. I've tried my comcast email server (my ISP) and the mail server where I have email accounts because they host a website for me. Nothing seems to get mail out. Initially, I found files in the BadMail folder. I deleted those and tinkered with the SMTP connector some more. I'm not getting anything in the BadMail folder, but mail apparently is going nowhere. I see the message quickly leave the Outbox and I don't get any undeliverable messages. Where is the mail going? Where can I look for it? Any help would be appreciatied. Frank Tag: Small Business Tag: 161329

    - Default Group Memberships A new staff member at one of our sites has just rang me to enquire whether she really should be able to open anyone's mailbox! Apparently all she has to do in Outlook (2002) is go to Open/Other users folder, put in the name, and voila! she can see their mailbox! Now why should this be? No-one has given permission to anyone else, so I'm assuming wrong/modified Group relationships. So just what are the default group memberships for ordinary and power users?

    - Replacing an old employees rights with a new employee username... We have a situation where our executive secretary has left the company and is being replaced by a new person within a week. Sse has access to many folders within the domain etc.. and some are pretty specific (as opposed to simply group access rights). We have a win2000 SBS server where her profile exists in our domain. We also have an NT 4.0 server (not in the domain). She has a profile on this machine as well with a lot of "file specific" rights to stuff on that particular server. Is there any easy way to convert all of her security rights over to the new user or do you basically have to go through everything and try to find all the instances where she is on the security list and replace herusername with the new username? There must be a better way... Thanks, Brad Tag: Small Business Tag: 161286

    - Re-Post - Thoughts, Anyone??????? All, About year and half back, I brought a "white box" server from TigerDirect.com - Visioneer. A day passed the hardware warranty, one of the cpu's died. After some arguing with the saleperson and vision's tech support, they sent me a new cpu, and heatsink. During the install, the motherboard died. After I changed out all that, I had the server back up but then one of the stick of RAM wouldn't work with the new motherboard. Needless to say, I am buying a new server for my office. For my client's, I have only using DELL. PowerEdge 700's to be exact (had no problems and Dell's server support been great so far). What I would like to know from you all, is what approach would you take to replace one server with a completely new one. My thought is that I would rebuilt it with the same name, setup as the old server, shutdown the old server, replace with new server and do a restore of the new server from backup (I back up to an external usb pot harddrive). Old server config: Dual P3 1Ghz processors, two 80 gb hdd's in a software raid 1 mirror (Fastrack promise controller embedded), 1ghz RAM PC-133. New Server: Dell PowerEdge 700, P4 2.8 - 3.2 Processor, two scsi 73.4 HDD's, Raid 1 mirror - Hardware controller - PERC ???, 1 ghz RAM DDR400 Since the two server's hardware congfiguration is so different, I am not comfortable with the restore from backup. But If I did a restore, would I most like just have to install disk one do a repair of the install to add scsi driver, etc..... How would you guys go about this?

    - many e-mails in SMTP queue I have an SBS 2003 server which has been running fine. Today a large number of e-mails, thousands in fact, started appearing in the SMTP queue. They where all for postmaster@domainname.com and all from the same person, a samantha markey at orange. Virus scans are clear, there is no signs of the server being used as an open relay by spammers. I have also applied the fix for this problem as detail in Technet, all to no avail. Does anyone know what's happening???? Tag: Small Business Tag: 161227

    - Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9.0 on SBS 2000 Box Has anyone ever tried to install Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9.0 on a SBS 2000 box? Symantec does not recommend this installation type for the mere fact that the SBS 2000 box has so many different services running simultaneously. I would install the software on another machine, but I don't have any other dedicated workstations that could handle this type of service. Any suggestions or recommendations or if anyone has ever installed this software on a SBS 2000 box, what were the results? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    - In-place upgrade from 4.5 - 2003, possible?? Hi, We are currently running SBS4.5 and want to upgrade to 2003 BUT without buying a new server(the current one is not old and with recent upgrades is powerful enough). Is it possible to do an in-place upgrade to SBS2003?? Or would we have to start from scratch (creating user ids computer accounts,etc, etc). I had an idea of temporarily installing sbs2000 on a PC, migrating all settings to there from the 4.5 server, then installing 2003 on the server and migrating the settings to it from the 2000 pc. Would that be possible? Can the Active Directory Migration Tool migrate from a 2000 to a 2003 setup?? It that too crazy an idea?? If anyone has some suggestions or can point me in the direction of some articles to read, then that'd be great. Tag: Small Business Tag: 161196

    - Security Tab Missing Unusual problem - on our Windows 2000 SBS, the Security tab has disappeared (when we right-click the folder and select Properties) on every folder on the server. I'm guessing a Registry entry must have gone missing or been corrupted. Anyone any idea what entry controls this and how we put it back? Hope you can help. Ian W Tag: Small Business Tag: 161195

    - Master browser errors Our server is getting the following errors The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer EVO08SIMON that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{46993142-87E7-41E. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced I have to change a setting in the registry on the computer EVO08SIMON to tell it that it is not a master browser. I can't work out which registry entry it is though. Any ideas? Simon Tag: Small Business Tag: 161193

DO NOT get Small Business Server 2003 for this purpose.

Look at Windows Server 2003 Web Edition
