 - RWW - Connect to Computer I have VPN working, and now I'm working on RWW. I can RDP to the desktops locally, but from the Web side I get VBScript: Remote Desktop Disconnected The client could not connect to the remote computer. ..... Somewhere here I found a thread that recommended removing the Activex, but I can't find it now. Any Ideas ? If it's the ActiveX how do I remove it to reinstall it ?? -- KlK, MCSE Tag: Smallbizserver.net maintenance for the rest of Sunday Tag: 166115

 - Permissions issue with users in Domain Users not able to see profi History: - I did an upgrade to my servers, basically I had SBS 2003 with 50 users on it, the server was old so we bought a new server. I built the server to be a 2003 Server in the same domain, server name, same settings the lot etc and then installed Exchange with all the same settings etc etc I then manually re-created all the users (easiest way as I only have 50 users, didnâ??t want to swing or migrate, wanted to leave current config in place while I built the other). I then Exmerged all the email, copied all the data and profiles, switched off the old servers plugged in the new, re-added all the PCâ??s to the new domain. Issue: - When I log in (with admin privileges) my profile comes down correctly, my email works, printers are available and policies are present. All works fine. When a normal user logs in (with Domain User privileges) firstly the group policies aren't coming into effect. No got any more info than this at the min, no errors no nothing! I backed up and restored my GPO's from the last server. Secondly when my users log on and download there profile form the server they don't see all of the profile. I restored there profiles from backup. When I look on the PC when they are logged in in documents and settings at the profile they can only see certain folders: - Users Documents Desktop Favorites Start Menu WINDOWS They can't see: - Application Data Local Settings etc etc I thought at first it wasn't downloading those folders but if I log on as an administrator and click on the cached copy of there profile all the folders are there, it's only when they are logged in that they can't see it. It shouldn't be a permissions thing on the folder as they can download it. It's not that they are hidden as I clicked to show hidden files and folders. This is causing outlook to fail as they can't see the application data folder. Also no printers etc Anyone any ideas as to whatâ??s happening here? Not sure if thereâ??s an overall permissions issue because the way I got round this problem was to put all my users into the Domain Admins group, everything works fine now but I need to get them all out of Domain Admins asap! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mike Tag: Smallbizserver.net maintenance for the rest of Sunday Tag: 166113

 - migration from sbs2k to wserver2003 I have a client who wants to update their wan office servers. One server has sbs2k including exchange. Other server at remote location has windows server 2003 std installed. I would like to upgrade both servers to run windows server 2003 std, but dont want to lose exchange settings on sbs2000. Is there any way to upgrade sbs2000 and keep exchange, or do i need to buy exchange server 2003, and migrate records. Also, the person who installed the network, used wrong domain, would like to fix domain of the servers. Anyone have any ideas how i can accomplish this besides formatting servers and installing fresh copies of windows server 2003 on both machines.

 - RWW Policies Hi all, I have two simple questions which I hope you can help me with. 1) What policies should be put in place for users that access the our office SBS2003 via RWW? I would like to have a written company policy that the users agree to. Should the remote machines have Anti-Spyware, Anti-Virus, Latest Patches etc? 2) How do I block certain users from using RWW if I do not wish them to have remote access to SBS2003?

 - << SBS Posting FAQ for New Users - V:1.0 - Last Updated: 2004-07-21>> An HTML version of this document is available at: http://www.sbs-rocks.com/netiquette.htm -------------- The following tips are designed to help you get the fastest and most appropriate answer to your questions. They suggest which newsgroup to use,what basic research to do before posting, information to include in your posting, newsgroup etiquette, and alternate sources of useful information. Following them will help us to help you. =================================================== - Post to the appropriate newsgroup: For SBS 4/4.5: microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz For SBS 2000 : microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000 For SBS 2003 : microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs Microsoft News Server: news.microsoft.com The SBS Newsgroups provide a free forum for threaded discussion and peer support on issues related to Small Business Server by users, service providers and interested parties. Please remember when posting that non Microsoft people don't get paid to be here, and MVPs are -not- Microsoft employees. { Who are the Microsoft MVPs ? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;mvpfaqs } Everyone here is giving generously and freely of their time, experience and expertise to enhance the Small Business Server Community. Join it, support it, respect it and enjoy it. - SBS Rocks ! =================================================== A Web interface to the SBS 2003 newsgroup is at: http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/?pr=newsgsbs2003 You'll find the Rules of conduct on the MS Website at: Welcome to Microsoft Discussion Groups http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx =================================================== - Do some basic researches for previously posted solutions.

Remember -everyone's- issue is important to them, so que jumping won't enhance anyone's opinion of you within the newsgroup. Mentioning the SBS component, Exchange, ISA, SQL Server, RAS, Pop Connector etc.in the heading will be a big help in catching the eye of experts in that field. =================================================== - If posting a Question, post with sufficient information for a complete stranger to understand your SBS version, environment; your issue, what you have tried and what failed. You're not cutting down on the typing as you'll be asked anyway, and it can only enhance the speed to diagnosis and resolution. A secondary benefit to this is that in correctly framing the question, the resolution often presents itself. Note: Stating your SBS version ( 4, 4.5, 2000, 2003 ) is particularly important as is whether your SBS 2003 is Standard or Premium and whether you have ISA installed. Please state all messages and IDs in failure notices and/or in the event viewers. Also what may have been installed/changed/updated prior to or during the issue. =================================================== - Posting In capitals on is considered SHOUTING! ...Please don't. =================================================== - Don't overlook or discount Paid Support. If the Issue is urgent or complex, the time you spend searching for a "free" solution. ...and cost factors such as Worker Downtime, Customer Irritation, Lost Productivity, and Hair Replacement costs will likely far outweigh the cost of a Support Call to Microsoft PSS (Product Support Services ) or a Support Professional. Note: Hotfixes are free of charge. Just ask for the specific Hotfix. =================================================== - It's difficult to convey human emotions on Usenet (Humour, Pathos, Sarcasm, Tongue-In-Cheek ) so use of emoticons and/or acronym tags is advised. .... and no; you -don't- have to be serious all the time. It's a community. Enjoy ! =================================================== - There are many paths to a solution and as many experiences in getting there as there are posters. Sometimes the paths are well worn, tried and true. Sometimes paths diverge, sometimes converge, and sometimes new trails are blazed. Understand and respect that, and use what suits you and your situation. =================================================== - People are different, but people are people. You should be nice to them. This is a technical newsgroup and not a place for Egos or Flame Wars. As a community we try to leave them at the door and respect each other. What you post here is archived and available to anyone, anytime.

 - Who is logged in to my SBS2000 Server I did recently redo my SBS2000 from scratch. All the old bugs are gone and the server works fine except that all my old utility collection is gone. I find out that a pure Windows2000 SP4 does not have a utility that shows who is logged in to the server and enables the administrator to force users logoff as did the good old WinNT SP6 Server. Does anybody know how to do it? Any help is welcome Tag: Smallbizserver.net maintenance for the rest of Sunday Tag: 166095

 - Address List Error Event ID: 8331 For the past couple of months, I've been seeing App. log errors as follows: Source: MSExchangeAL Category: Address List Event ID: 8331 The service threw an unexpected exception which was caught at y:\dsa\src\lra\abv_dg\lservagent.acpp (4664). While in this error state, new users added to Exchange are not seen in the Global Address List by the Outlook clients. All the references (especially KB 837444 and the related hotfix) I've come across for this error mention it in the context of SBS 2003 and usually multiprocessor systems. What I'm running is SBS 2000 on a single processor Dell PowerEdge 2600. The first two times this cropped up the error was repeated once a minute. In both cases, the problem went away after restarting the server - at first for 5 weeks, then for 2 weeks. The current error state is slightly different in that I got 4 8331 errors in 11 minutes a day and a half ago, after which they stopped - though the Address List problem remains. I'd appreciate any insight anyone might have on this. Thanks Tag: Smallbizserver.net maintenance for the rest of Sunday Tag: 166089

 - 2K Server Downgrade and 30 Day Trial Media Hello, I telephoned Microsoft in the UK and they confirmed that I could "downgrade" from 2003 Server to 2000 Server in order to add this machine to my 2K SBS Network (without buying any extra CALs). Apparently, I should use the 2003 Serial Number and ANY 2000 Server Std Media. Microsoft in the UK said that they could not provide me with the media and suggested this should be available from my System supplier (sadly, it is not). They do not ship 2K Server anymore. Unfortunately, I do not have any 2000 Media (except the SBS). Some posts on here talk about contacting Microsoft "Fulfillment", but this is a US operation isn't it? Somewhere at home, I (think) there is a 30 day trial version of 2K server that was distributed with the 2K trianing kit. Do you think I would be able to use that disk?

 - Profiles and policies not working after upgrade Hello, I've just done a migration to sbs2003 and I'm having 2 issues. Firstly the group policies aren't comming into effect. No got any more info than this at the min, no errors no nothing! I backed up and restored my GPO's from the last server. Secondly when my users log on and download there profile form the server they don't see all of the profile. I restored there profiles from backup. When I look in documents and settings at the profile they can only see certain folders: - Users Documents Desktop Favorites Start Menu WINDOWS They can't see: - Application Data Local Settings etc etc I thought at first it wasn't downloading those folders but if I log on as an administrator and click on the cached copy of there profile all the folders are there, it's only when they are logged in that they can't see it. It shouldn't be a permissions thing on the folder as they can download it. It's not that they are hidden as I clicked to show hidden files and folders. This is causeing outlook to fail as they can't see the application data folder. Anyone any ideas as to whats happening here? Not sure if theres an overall permissions issue or DNS issue here!! Maybe on the wrong track though! Thanks Tag: Smallbizserver.net maintenance for the rest of Sunday Tag: 166037

 - OT - XP SP2 changes networking slightly - watch out... Hi all, Just a short heads up on this. XP SP2 *apparently* changes certain aspects with regards networking. Although its possible that most people may not even notice this, we experienced a particular issue regarding VPN working which I thought was worth flagging up in case anyone gets anything similar. XP Pro SP1 laptop would VPN into our SBS2K network - no problem. All OK so far. We would then connect an IP softphone on the laptop to our VoIP PBX [Avaya IP Office] which resides on our LAN. Again, all OK so far. VoIP operation worked fine both inwards and outwards. Upgraded to SP2 Again, VPN in works fine. However, although VoIP operation outwards was fine, inwards was VERY choppy. We tried numerous things such as disabling the SP2 firewall entirely and reinstalling the IP softphone, in case either of these would help. Neither did. Ended up having to go back to SP1. Have emailed MS about this and am currently awaiting a response. From reading on various websites and other newsgroups, we understand that there *may* have been certain changes to certain parts of the 'standard' MS networking code and that various 3rd party VPN client software is also affected by similar delay issues. Although its in the final analysis down to the 3rd party vendors [in our case, Avaya] to resolve the issue by releasing fully SP2-compliant versions of their software, I though it was worth bringing to everyone's attention just in order to pre-warn them more than anything in case they are running anything over a VPN which is delay-intolerant such as VoIP. Oh yes, the the SP2 Bluetooth drivers built-into XP don't support audio...! <rant over> :-) David Tag: Smallbizserver.net maintenance for the rest of Sunday Tag: 166033

 - smtp mail dual-homed backup Hello everyone, Does anybody know of a company that offers a service whereby I might be able to have my smtp mail routed to 2 different mail locations. Here is my scenario. I would like mail coming to our domain to be sent to our ISP, as it currently is. This mail is retrievable by webmail. I would also like a copy of all mail sent to our exchange server. The exchange server would be what we use for normal mail operations. However, if our exchange mail server goes down, we would like to be able to revert to checking mail on our ISP's webmail server, _and_ we would like that there would be a history of all mail received even before our exchange server crashed. You might be wondering why we might want such an elaborate fall back mechanism. Our business operates with many very time sensitive deadlines. Much of these deadlines revolve around emails. It would instill peace of mind to be able to know that if our internal mail server was down for any slightly lengthy period (fire, flood, hurricane), we would still have immediate access to all mail, including mail we received in the weeks before the failure. I would also be interested in any other idea that you might have that would have the same benefit through possibly a different method. Thank you, Joe Letter.

 - Exchange old SBS2K to SBS2K3 The old SBS cannot be logged on to due to registry error. They cannot find their SBS software to run repair. I cannot get logged on in any way to move or perform a migration of any type. The situation: I setup a new SBS 2K3 server with all the bells and whistles. Got the company backup and running and they started using their e-mail on the SBS 2K3. I have been able to copy all the old data off of the old server, it was on a spare drive, to include the priv and pub edb data bases. The question is; How do I put the old pub and priv into the new exchange? Can I use exmerge to export out the new. Drop the old pub and priv in write the changes by restarting the store. or Do need to setup a SBS 2K server to migrate or exmerge that data out?

 - sbs2000 printer newbie question I'm trying to connect a copier/printer to my network. The copier is shared between two businesses, two networks. I have the copier connected into a hub/switch, then into my network switch. The connection to the other biz network works fine - they already had the copier hooked up to their network and adding the shared hub/switch didn't alter anything. My network is set up with a router and two nics. The internal nic is at IP 10.0.0.2 so all of the network devices and clients on my network are using 10.0.0.x. The printer I want to connect to is set to an IP of 192.168.1.99. My question is, what do I need to do for my network to see this address. I can't ping the address and I'm assuming there is an entry on the internal NIC or LAT - somewhere. Should my network be able to see it automatically? I know I'll need to create an LPR port when I try and add as a printer - but I need to figure out why I can't see and ping the IP. Thanks for any help.

 - DNS report on my exchange server? After screwing up a few minor settings recently I'm checking out my exchange 2000 server installation. Its been stable for several years and had its first reboot in 18 months yesterday. I've found nothing further amiss apart from some results from DNSreport.com? When sbs was installed I ran some dnsreports test and these 'errors' did not occur. Since then I've changed ISP. errors are; 1/ mailserver appearing to be xxx.domainname.local and not .com? 2/ mail in domain literal form not accepted? 3/ no spf record? So, .local instead of .com? I remember some ambiguity on how that should be set up and its working now. Should I try to change it? Domain literal isn't used by anyone I know sending mail to us so should I ignore it.. SPF? huh. factor 30 or what?.. I see this was targeted for onctober 1. It might explain why a couple of my mails recently to a large organisation seemed to not make it although a delivery receipt was received. What's everyone else doing with SPF? The 'install' procedure seems a bit of a hack and the SPF wizard won't produce a record for my domain... Comments appreciated.. Specific message texts; 1/ 'WARNING: One or more of your mailservers may be claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). This probably won't cause any harm, but may be a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). xxx.domainname.com claims to be host xxx.domainname.local' and 2/ 'WARN: One or more of your mailservers does not accept mail in the domain literal format (user@[0.0.0.0]). Mailservers are technically required RFC1123 5.2.17 to accept mail to domain literals for any of its IP addresses. Not accepting domain literals can make it more difficult to test your mailserver, and can prevent you from receiving E-mail from people reporting problems with your mailserver. However, it is unlikely that any problems will occur if the domain literals are not accepted. xxx.domainname.com's postmaster@[66.14.182.253] response: >>> RCPT TO:<postmaster@[66.14.182.253]> <<< 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for postmaster@[66.14.182.253]' and finally 3/ 'Your domain does not have an SPF record. This means that spammers can easily send out E-mail that looks like it came from your domain, which can make your domain look bad (if the recipient thinks you really sent it), and can cost you money (when people complain to you, rather than the spammer). You may want to add an SPF record ASAP, as 01 Oct 2004 was the target date for domains to have SPF records in place (Hotmail, for example, started checking SPF records on 01 Oct 2004).'

 - Problem with latest security patches? This could be due to the manner in which our particular SBS 2000 server is configured, or 3rd party applications running on it (Trend, GFI, and ISS products), but in case not, it seems worth reporting: After installing the latest round of MS critical updates yesterday (834707, 8 33989, 841356, 840987, 841533, 824151) our server would not reboot, except in safe mode. Uninstalling the critical updates didn't solve the problem, nor did restoration of system state, nor did five hours on the phone with MS tech support, during which we removed all 3rd party apps. Problem was only cured by complete restoration of the OS drive from backup. Tag: Smallbizserver.net maintenance for the rest of Sunday Tag: 165992

 - sbs2000 on a new computer Hi I am going to install sbs2000 on a new server. This server is to rollover an existing sbs2000 server. I would like the new server to retain the same computername/IP and also to host the same internal domain name. I would like to do this because there is a multitude of 3rd party software on the server that is dependant on the name of the server. My question is, can you simply disjoin/rejoin client workstations that are running 2000/XP to this new server? eg make client pc member of workgroup and then rejoin to domain, or are there going to be SID issues etc to worry about?

 - Q's on upgrade from Win Server 2003 to Win SBS 2003 Hi Folks, I have a customer that wants to upgrade from Win Server 2003 Standard Edition to Win Small Business Server 2003. They also want to move to a new server at the same time. Microsoft has told me that this is an OK upgrade path. Since I don't have a lot of experience with the Win Server products I was looking for some feedback on how to proceed. I can think of two ways to do this but maybe there is a better way still ? 1. Upgrade in place on the old server then do a backup and then a restore on the new server. I am a bit concerned because it seems to me that NT-derived OS's seem to not do well when mucho hardware is changed, they seem to fail in booting commonly in these circumstances. Perhaps a re-install (upgrade/repair) at this point would help ? 2. Install SBS on the new PC. Export all the user info such as name/password info (can this be done ?) and import it in the new PC. Xfr over the user data. Some how track down all the non user info (networking stuff, ...) and setup that info on the new PC. There's got to be a good way !

 - Terminal Services - Primary DNS Suffix option to DHCP Hello everyone, I'm having the same problem as someone else has had. I've paraphrased it here: >I've added a Windows 2000-member server to my SBS2000 to run Terminal Services, after I try to log on using the domain administrator account and >password, the "Loading your personal settings" dialog box is displayed a extremly long time (like 20 mins) before the desktop appears. >Log on by using a local administrator account works normally. >The member server is part of an active directory enviroment. However, it is not a domain controller. They got the following reply: >I fixed it by adding the Primary DNS Suffix option to DHCP, to reflect my domain name.
