    - Running POP3 Accounts in Outlook XP I am running SBS 2000 with Exchange for email. Some of the users want to access POP3 accounts AS WELL AS their Exchange mail. I ran the ICW and allowed POP3 through the ISA, but on the desktop I'm getting errors immediately that Outlook can't access the mail server. Is there anything else that needs to be done to allow POP3 through Outlok directly alongside of Exchange (as opposed to using the POP3 connector)? Thanks, Bruce Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137705

    - Shared drive access lost I have a windows domain with SBS2000 as domain controller and an old NT Server (v4, sp6a) as a member server. WinXP clients regularly lose access to a shared drive on the NT Server. Win98 and Win2000-Pro clients do not lose access. WinXP clients, on access attempt, get popup window asking for login credentials. When they respond with username and password they receive message that "Login Unsuccessful, user name you typed is the same as the name you logged in with. That user name has already been tried. A domain controller cannot be found to verify that user name." After user logoff and logon on the XP-client, the user again has access to the shared drive on the NT Server, but some minutes later, the access is denied again. Any help appreciated.

    - POP3 stopped downloading I have searched but can't find my problem. The mail is still at the ISP. I tried re-running ICW and get an error during the finalization (where the checkboxes get checked) I will post the actual error in a minute, but wanted to know if anyone had an idea. Had been running great for many months, never a virus, Trend C/S/M updates hourly, use HFNetChkLT manually to update each week, daily full backups, no other problems apparent, no errors in Event Viewer. Several updates done last weekend, that may be the last time it worked right. I'll come back with more info in a few minutes. Thanks Del Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137690

    - Increasing volume size on Hardware RAID-1 array We have Win2K Server with two hard drives, 18GB SCSI, in a CPQ proliant with Smart Array and RAID-1. We need more space. Can I break the mirror by removing one drive, then insert a 72GB drive, let the system rebuild the array, then break the array again by removing the last 18GB drive and inserting a second 72GB? Will windows detect the size change? Has anyone heard of doing this? Is there a better way? Thanks! Douglas Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137661

    - Scripts to Map Drives I am a bit confused with login scripts, etc in SBS 2000. I wanted to map a drive letter H on everyone's computers. I did a search for .bat files on the server and came up with two named SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat One is in \winnt\sysvol\sysvol one is in \"domain name"\scripts It seems like my net use command works in either one. My question is: Is there a difference between the two, and which one should I be using to map drives. OR, should I be using a different bat file. Thanks for the help. Phil M.

    - Desperate - Profile is corrupt I have a user whose profile is corrupt. No matter which PC he logs into the the problems persist, problem is a bit vague to go into any real depth. What i would like to know is can i simply delete his profile and create a new one? //I Believe i could be letting myself in for problems doing this. Problem user Has a username "JOHN". I have created a new profile named "Trial" to be sure that new profiles are ok on the system. What i really need to know is if the user logs in as trial can he still use his MS outlook as JOHN and if so how can i achieve this. I tried it under the WindowsXP > MYCopmuter > Control Panel > Mail. Unfortunately when i set the user John as the account to log into when logged in as trial i get a user does not have privellages to open this folder when i try to run Outlook. Basically what i want to know is how to recreate the user JOhn's profile in the easiest way possible allowing him to keep his john@ourmail.com username. Any advice most welcome.

    - OWA not working... Outlook Web Access has stopped working on out SBS installation, I know it was working yesterday becuase I used it, since then I have installed SUS1.1 on the Domain Server, and applied the latest MS patches (there were 4, 2 criticals and 2 recommended - I'll post what they were when the server comes back up) Does anyone know why these would cause a problem. What I am seeing is as follows: Outlook Web Access starts up, it asks for a username and password and then loads everything, the tool bar, the outlook bar etc, but it just says 'loading' at the top of the screen. Any ideas would be of great help. Cheers Simon Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137625

    - SUS and port 80 Does installing SUS open port 80 on the server? Until recently, I know that port 80 was closed on our SBS, from using online scans such as those at GRC.com. A couple of weeks ago I installed SUS and GRC.com now reports that port 80 is open. Are the two related, or is this just coincidence? I haven't installed any other software recently on the server or made configuration changes in ISA, so I cannot think of any other reasons for the change. If the change has been made by SUS, is it necessary to leave port 80 open, or is there something I can do to close port 80? If the change has NOT been made by SUS, what do I need to do to close the port and how can I find out why the change has occurred? Regards, Andrew Stevens.

    - POP3 mail, downloaded but not delivered. Hi. Recently posted this in the wrong place :-( I have SBS2000 and download via POP3, the mail is being cleared from the ISP, but is NOT being delivered internally. I have deleted the database and allowed the system to recreate it, added all users back to the POP3 connector etc, but I STILL cannot recieve the mail (although I guess that technically, I AM, just don't know where it is going to!). Any ideas guys? I don't particularly want to have to reinstall unless I really have to. The server worked fine for about 5/6 weeks after install. Thanks, Chris.

    - OT: Okidata ML320 on a print server Ok group, hopefully someone will have a solution for this: Working with a new client, and they're using an Okidata ML320 dot matrix printer for their invoices. We're installing new PCs, and they want to move the invoice printer to a different location. The invoice printer is currently shared on a Win2k workstation. We decided to attach the printer to a print server - all fine and dandy - except I cannot for the life of me get it to print using its built-in utility font. I re-attach it to the Win2k workstation, and it works great - put it on the print server and it prints at letter quality (which is approx 5 times slower than utility) and just way too slow for the client. I've tried a different brand print server, and the same thing happens. I've verified that all settings are identical whether its configured for the Win2k client or the print server. Google didn't offer any clues - anyone have any ideas?? -- Chad A Gross [SBS-MVP] SBS ROCKS!!! Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137605

    - Spontaneous dialouts Our SBS server dials out within 1 minute of closing down the modem connection and remains open. This happens even though no workstations are connected and though there are no known programmes making this request. SMTP mail is set to dial up only on a request from the workstation. Only ports 80, 110 and 25 are open. I would be very grateful for any suggestions as to how this situation could be tracked down and corrected. Thanks. Jim B.

    - Backup Solution Needed I need a recommendation on a backup solution for SBS2K. I need to backup the Information Store and the users files on the server daily, to an external hard drive. The built in NT backup is very limited and cannot do what I need. What I need is basically for the backup software to do a full backup every night, where each night, each full backup is given a new file name. Once the external hard drive is full, it should start overwriting the oldest backup first. Is something like this possible? I know that Arcserve from CA or Veritas software is excellent, but it may be an overkill for my customers budget. Thanks for any and all suggestions. Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137598

My client is currently running NT4, Exchange5.5, SQL 7.0, and proxy2.0 (with latest service packs). They want to upgrade to the "latest" version, however they use an older sales program which will probably not be compatable with the latest version.

    - Exchange/SMTP/ICW failure My SMTP outgoing post is not outgoing and I can't understand why. The Internet Connection Wizard falls over with an apparently meaningless error message. I hope someone out there can help me. I have SBS 2000 patched to SP1a. Until yesterday, both incoming and outgoing mail was moving. During the course of yesterday, I realised that no post was getting to the external addressees though post was coming in. The SMTP virtual server cues were showing empty but mail was not hanging up in users' outlook mail boxes.None of it has been delivered. I tried to check/reset the configuration using the Interconnect Connection Wizard. This rapidly completes the internet setup but falls over - after a long delay - when trying to configure Exchange Server. The error message says look in the icw.txt log. This is very long, but right at the end it says Error 0x80072030 returned from call to GetBOConnector(). The wizard then asks me to ignore this or abort. When I looked this error up in the MS KB, I found only article 280038 seemed to refer to this problem but this said that I could 'safely ignore' the error. There is no SMTP connector in my Exchange Server setup (and I can't remember if there used to be. I have tried manually creatijng and configuring a SMTP virtual server and, although it looked alright, I still can't test traffic out through the door. My boot drive (a 4 Gb partition) has only 300Mb left and I was wondering if some of my problems are caused by lack of disk space. I have tried reinstallying the SP1 patch. None of this works. Is this a known problem - and does anyone have any suggestions. How feasible is it to reinstall either Exchange or, if necessary, the whole SBS operation. What woujld I need to do to safeguard my data in this situation? Any help or pointers very gratefully received. Paul - Coventry UK I have moved offices recently and had a lot of trouble with moving my ADSL connection. For two weeks I had only dial-up connectivity. In consequence, I was messing around with the POP3 connectors and SMTP configurations to try to lash up some kind of a service. Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137583

    - Intrusion detection Hi! I've been intruded! Sounds personal, but...I like my space to be my space. An IP address did a port scan, actually about 7 of them. I used the whois and found them, contacted the ISP who is supposedly doing an investigation. I've found this site, http://www.columbia.edu/acis/security/aprocedure.html, is it a good one to follow? The ISP told me they couldn't tell me anything, that I'd have to subpeona their records. Who wants to go through all that? I just want to know who it is and why they're doing it? What rights do we, the non-intruder have? Any advice? Obviously, I need to block the particular IP in ISA, but beyond that... Marcia Porter Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137534

    - Considering Upgrade Schedule Hello, We've been running SBS2000 on a single server for 2 1/2 years, and we're trying to figure out possible upgrade scenarios for the next two years. Being a nonprofit organization, we can get software at a good discount but we can only do so once every two years (not sure what Microsoft's reasoning was for that one). It has been suggested that network performance & reliability can be greatly improved by separating out Exchange onto its own dedicated server. Of course, doing so would mean moving from Small Business Server to a full Windows Server and Exchange Server. Performance has not really been much of an issue thus far. We are using about 27GB out of total capacity of 63GB. It's a single 933MHz processor, we're not using SQL Server. We are about 25 people and we don't plan on expanding over 30 in the next two years. Network speed is pretty quick, in terms of document retrieval. Sometimes Access database operations take a little time, but nothing too klunky. Would our users notice much of a difference if Exchange were separated onto its own server? What other benefits/issues might we encounter? Any thoughts or input is greatly appreciated.

    - Some upgrade questions and client-add questions I'm going to be upgrading a SBS 4.5 network in two phases soon; it's in two phases because of budgeting issues, among other things. To ease the workload on our present (and old) server, I've talked it over with a contractor that supplies and supports Great Plains financial software for us, and we're going to aquire an inexpensive single processor box to move the GP stuff to, probably just running on Win 2000 pro, as only two people on staff will ever be accessing it. I'm making the assumption here that, since it's not a geniune server OS, I'll have to add it as a client, and thus acquire some client licenses (as we're currently maxed). That isn't a problem, as I'd like to add a couple of people to the network anyway. As I understand it, there can be unlimited user accounts, but machines are limited to the number of licenses. While I've read that SBS 2000 CALs are backwards- compatible with SBS 4.5, does anyone yet know if SBS 2003 CALs will be? Also, while shopping for the CALs online, I've noticed that there are actually two versions of the SBS 2000 5 count CAL packs. They are: SBS 2000 CLT ADD ON-5U 3.5 V/UP $147.92 and SBS 2000 CLT ADDON 3.5-DMF 5PK $ 279.94 Murphy's Law says I'll probably need the later because it's more expensive, but can anyone tell me what the differnces are? The website these are quoted from is www.globalcomputer.com We may buy another server this year, and then replace SBS 4.5 itself next year. We're still considering whether or not we want to go with SBS 2003 or another solution, but if we do: Will there be an upgrade version for SBS 4.5, or will we have to buy the full version outright? And have any significant issues arisen from upgrading 4.5 to 2003? Thank you in advance for your help. Douglas Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137523

    - Changed User Name, BE8.6 doesn't backup her mailbox Hi, Running SBS2000, fully patched. User got married and I changed her last name in the users area of the SBS (Back Office Manager) from the SBS Admin Console. Also changed her initials and alias (and everything I could change on the user properties tabs). Everything is working fine (she can logon, she's getting e-mail, has access to her files, everything says the new name) but BE 8.6 is not backing up the new mailbox. When I look at Mailboxes under Mailbox Store under the First Storage Group, her mailbox is listed by her new name. When I look at the list of mailboxes in the selections area of BE8.6, it lists the correct mailbox name but that has the *old* initials in brackets. The BE log says the mailbox cannot be found and refers to the initials. There's an option in the BE selections window for the "text version" and it appears that I can edit the initials to reflect the new initials. However, I did this name change with very little research (5 minutes of Google groups searching) and thought I'd ask the experts here before I proceed further. :) Should I do the text edit? Is there a way to force BE to refresh the initials to the correct initials? Something else? John Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137503

Then unplug the old server put in the new server. USING DISASTER RECOVERY SWITCH, WILL IT DESTROY THE NEW MACHINE??? OR 1.) build a new server with exact server name, dns etc (only thing different will be bigger hardrives; raid 5 instead of mirror) 2) CREATE ALL USERS EXACTLY IN AD ( I HAVE ONLY 20 USERS) WITH EXCHANGE MAILBOXES.

However, for anyone not in this group it will not work at all, it just keeps prompting for the password 3 times and freezes (all the menu icons are displayed properly but no inbox displayed) I have made sure that its just Anon and Basic authentication enabled in IIS.

    - Security Groups On a fresh SBS 2000 box that will replace our old one, I want to assign security groups. There will ultimately be three types of security groups: high, med, low - where the high group will allow users to have full Admin access to their machines, med will have semi-admin access and low will be no admin rights at all. Currently, we do not use security groups on the SBS domain. All I do is take off Local Admin rights for each user - so they cannot install/uninstall programs, move files into the System/WINNT folders or change the clock. Some software needs registry tweaks for it to work under these conditions. I want to deploy these three groupings (or maybe just two - high and low), where I will assign myself "high" (as I constantly add/remove software from my machine) and "low" to all users so that they cannot do anything! How do I set up these groupings and the necessary tasks before I add the users one-by-one to AD and assign them to the groups. I need step-by-step help as I have not done this before. skc Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137481

    - Administrator not administrator I am currently setting up a new SBS 2000 box remotely before I deploy it on our current SBS 2000 Domain. The new SBS 2000 box is identical in it;s functionality, but it has the all important RAID5 redundancy and has a better spec. I have installed SBS 2000, and I am now patching up the whole machine using Windows Update. I will also run SP1a for SBS 2000. What I want to do now is make the Administrator user not Administrator, but to set up a new user that will be Administrator. This is for security, as I know that a lot of people do this, as Administrator as a Username is 50% of the way of cracking the password anyway. How is this done? Do I make a new user in AD on the new SBS and assign the same "Member Of" components to this user and then disable the user "Administrator"? I can then log the server on as this new Administrator knowing that the Username is not Administrator. Am I going along the right tracks...I need advice!! Thanks.

    - Add Exchange to SBS2000 domain Hi everyone, I'm having big problems installing Exchange on to my SBS2k domain, and I'm currently pondering suicide :-) I am trying to move Exchange from SBS on to a new Win2k server in a data-center (i.e. on to a new server, running a full-blown copy of Exchange). I have created a new administrative group (i.e. a seperate admin group from the 'first storage group'), and the plan is now to install the new Exchange server here, and copy the mail boxes across. I understand that when you install Exchange you should be prompted, and asked which Organisation and administrative group you want to install within. For some reason I am not - the install runs through and the server does not appear in the administrative group I have created. Please Help!!! Any advice or pointers would be much appreciated. TIA, Stuart Arnold Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137475

    - Adding SBS Client apps to a TS This is a bit of a repost, so I apologize up front for that. I'm trying to install the client apps for SBS (firewall client and IE) onto a Terminal Server. I added the SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat to the profile tab and told SBS to install the apps to the TS. When I log in under the TSAdmin account, there is an extremely short flash of the SBS script window (the minimized command prompt window) and then it runs the rest of the scripts I have. The SBS apps don't install. Am I misunderstanding the directions or the results? Here is the procedure I am following: To add a TSAdmin user account: 1.. From Small Business Server 2000, open Control Panel, and then click Administrative Tools. 2.. Click Active Directory Users and Computers, and then click Domain Users. ==>(Domain Users isn't a group, but Users is, and I assume this is what they mean) 1.. From the Microsoft Management Console window that appears, click Action, and then click New User. 2.. Name the user TSAdmin, and type in a unique password. 3.. On the remaining screens, use the default settings, except for Logon Script on the Profile screen. This field must contain the following: SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat ==>(There is no space in the new user setup to place this script pointer in, so I added it after the user was created under the profile tab) This ensures that the client installation program runs properly when you log on to the Terminal Server as the TSAdmin user. ==>(I set the TSAdmin user as a Domain Admin member and went to the SBS Personal Console and told it to install IE and the firewall client to the TS, but to no avail.) Any direction to investigate would be appreciated. Thank you. Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137465

    - Exchange/Outlook We have SBS2000. We have not set up Exchange and Outlook on it yet. I would like to set both up for shared calendaring, task management, shared contacts, IM, however I do not want to host our own email server. We use POP3 email accounts provided by our ISP. Can anyone help. I have already been on MS website and went thru all the SBS2000 deployment guide but all seem to omit the above. Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137460

    - SBS Office 2000 and Printer Lock-Up Hi. We've got a LAN with 8 workstations plus server running SBS2000. We have 3 printers on network and up until yesterday, all worked fine. Yesterday a user at a workstation sent a print job to the newest networked printer (HP Laserjet 4100). The job does not appear to have ever reached the printer itself (i.e. the printer is not acknowledging receiving any data and has no job to cancel). The job is, however, clogging up the print que. We have tried to cancel/delete the job, from both the user who created it's workstation and the server. Both attempts appear to be successful (i.e. no error message), and the job's status changes to "deleting", but it doesn't ever delete (over 24 hours now). We have tried uninstalling that printer from that workstation and reinstalling, which works, but when reinstalling, the subject bad job is still in que (under status "deleting"). We have tried deleting and/or uninstalling the subject printer from the server, which again appears to work (status of printer changes to "Deleting") but the printer never gets deleted. We're at wits end! Have searched net but could not find any information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you could cc: any responses to mcpineny[nospam] @netscape.net (without the text: "[nospam]") it would be doubly appreciated. Best regards. Tag: System Partition for SBS 2000 Tag: 137454

I made mine 8 GB. Don't think there is a standard.

Hi cmpy

Things to think about is whether user / company folders are going to be on
C. If so will they be used extensively ? Are you having exchange folder on C
? Personally I allocated a seperate 20GB partition for this.

Both instances can be moved from C later on, exchange is usually no problem
but user folders can cause problems later on and more tweaking needs to be
done to correct this.

As Chris says not really a standard I have 20GB C, 20 GB D for exchange
(remember exchange has a 16gb limit) and rest set aside for DATA....never
really should run out then....
