Symantec Corp Edtion and Veritas
To the BackupExec Users:
I am noticing that since I installed Symantec's Corp Edition product, my
backups have slowed down. Is there a setting or an exlusion that you
recomend with Antivirus and Backup Exec? I remember in the old days with
McAfee on Novell where you excluded scanning outgoing files and the backups
went a lot faster.
Thanks

DNS records for .local setup
My server is server.workgroup.domain.local. My website is
domin.com. Public external DNS servers host my www record
that point to my external web host's site and a MX record
that points to my SBS Exchange server. My users tell me
that certain people from certain domains can't send them
emails successfully. How do my DNS records and zones need
to be configured to allow external email servers to find
and resolve my mail server? Currently I have a forward
lookup zone, workgroup.domain.local that has the SOA and
host records for that zone. There is also a reverse lookup
zone for my subnet. Do I need to add a forward lookup zone
for domain.com and add host and MX records for my mail

DCOM and EventID 10009
I've recently replaced a server and I'm now seeing complaints from
a DCOM process claiming that it cannot contact the old server using
any configured protocols and logging event ID 10009. This is being
logged on the internal SBS server (not the replacement machine).
Source is DCOM, category None, Event ID 10009, User is
NT Authority\System, message cut-n-pasted below;
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer anubis using any of the
configured protocols.
I've had a go at finding and fixing this in the past which ultimately proved
unsuccessful, but did eliminate a few lurking references to the old server
name.
These events are occuring once per minute for serveral hours and then
stop for an seeminly abitrary period of time and then start again. (Of
course they usually stop a few minutes after I get a fraction of time to
look at the problem).
I used filemon from sysinternals, and the process that *appears*
to be related is emsmta.exe, access to emsmta is bracketting the
entry that looks to be writing the event log.
So Exchange is my most likely culprit, I've trawled through all the
configuration/property panels that I can think of and can find no
explicit reference to the old server name.
It's causing any operational issues (that I know of) but it is filling
the system event log and hence making spot real problems difficult.
So, does anyone know of any trying to trap this DCOM call to see
which process is invoking it ?

Alan. Tag: TEST MESSAGE---PLEASE IGNORE Tag: 120097

SBS 2003 OWA Premium
I just installed SBS2003RC1 and most everything works
great. Really like the new features.
Only issue I can tell so far is when users log into the
server and attempt to access OWA via Premium Client many
of the features don't work. For example, when OWA
Premium opens all the email is shown in the Inbox and a
right-click shows a menu as expected, but when you choose
open from the menu or double-click nothing happens. Is
is just RC1 or am I missing something?
All in all SBS2003 is a MAJOR improvement in look and
feel. The intranet capabilities are awesome. Can't wait
for the final release.

easy money
Yo,this aint phony. I am an 18 year old DJ that needs loot. Yo, im tellin
ya...you read this already about that fast monry making shit. Well, to tell
you the truth it works. The figures are a little bit off, but i made money.
I got 15 bucks the first week, then this week i made $45. That is frickin
$60 bucks doin nuttin. Well, soon im gonna get some new tables. EVERYONE try
this. Im spreadin the wealth. AT LEAST TRY IT. Im a ghetto ass who lives in
Chicago with no income what so ever. IM LIVING PROOF. LATER.
==========================================================
(this shit is long, but it will pay off, on the
real!===========================================================A little
while back, I was browsing through newsgroups,
just like you are now, and came across an article similar to
this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks
with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought," Yeah,
right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious,
so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each
of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place
your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and
post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are
thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and
talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little
worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out
with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed
that it is indeed legal! Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well
GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the
mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money
just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By
the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00!
In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing.
This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
$42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly
worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the
lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly,
why it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article
NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following
on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now
get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces
of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to
prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6
envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes,
each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name
and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a
service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
#1) A. Montalvo
711 Park Ave
Lakewood, NJ 08701
#2) RANDY PAGUIO
40029 CANDY APPLE WAY
MURRIETA CA.92562
#3) Ethan Camba
832 Monterey Rd.
Glendale Ca. 91206
#4)Jovim Ventura
5818 N Christiana
Chicago,IL 60659
#5)G. Wheeler
44 West River St.
Upton , MA 01568
#6) Carlos Mendez
2115 GUILFORD RD 304
HYATTSVILLE, MD 20783
STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above,
move the other names up (6 becomes5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and
add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything
you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original
as possible. If you do not live in the us or there is a foreign address you
must put a
international stamp on your envelopes. Now, post your amended article to at
least 200
newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you
need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make!---DIRECTIONS -----HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your
own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this
letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this letter, and
select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire
letter into the computers memory.
Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the
top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This
will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add
your name to the list.
Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a ..txt file. If you want
to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have
this file to go back to.
Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
discussions.)
Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a
new message by highlighting the text of this letter and
selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this
will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the
list of postings in a particular group, click the post message
button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to
different newsgroupes and post away, after you get the hang of
it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!
**REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it!
You will begin receiving money from around the world within days!
You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large
amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous,
you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will
deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now
the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies
(a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on
the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00
make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only
5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another
$25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my
name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post
the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies
each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun
part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with
my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just
made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5
persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With
a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is
no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the
newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list,
putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again.
The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of
people all over the world are joining the internet and reading
these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you
afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People
have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you
the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when
there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to
give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users,
every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet.
Remember, play FAIRLY please! This ensures a huge circle of
wealth that grows with the internet audience!!! Everyone
benefits!!! Remember to send the six envelopes to the above
addresses, in order to create the legal service. At first I was
to scared to try this but I researched it and its totally legal.
If you send the six envelopes out, you create a service, a legal
service. The Internet audience is expanding all the time. The
audience is like a equity stock on the stock market,
continuously going up. Tag: TEST MESSAGE---PLEASE IGNORE Tag: 120043

OT: Breaking Passwords
This is from Woody's Windows Watch newsletter:
Fast Cracking Windows XP Passwords
No doubt you've read about the researchers who found a way to crack Windows
passwords at a breathtaking rate.
CNET's Robert Lemos ran the original story last week. I've seen the results
mangled by the press in several places, so permit me to recap. Philippe
Oechslin at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne refined a very fast
method for cracking certain kinds of alphanumeric passwords. His method
works by using two CD's worth of data to help speed up the cracking
calculations: by using what amount to pre-digested calculations, his new
method runs rings around earlier crackers.
Windows passwords are particularly vulnerable to this pre-digesting trick
because Windows always encodes passwords the same way, on any PC. That isn't
news to anyone who understands the details of Windows'password encryption
technique, but it permitted Dr. Oechslin to come up with a whole bunch of
pre-digested (portions of) passwords that will work on any PC. Worth noting:
Linux "salts" each password, so the encoding comes up different on different
machines. That makes it impossible to come up with this kind of pre-digested
list.
Luca Wullschleger and Claude Hochreutiner, also at EPFL, wrote a program and
a Web interface http://lasecpc13.epfl.ch/ntcrack/ to show just how well Dr.
Oechslin's method works. As we went to press, the demo program cracked about
half of the passwords that people fed into it. On average, it took 7.7
seconds to crack each one. (My 12-character test password was cracked in
less than three seconds.) The demo was so popular that Luca and Claude
pulled it from the Web site - 1,000,000 hits in a week.
At this moment, Dr. Oechslin's program only works with alphanumeric
passwords - if you use punctuation marks (as I strongly recommend in my
books), your chances of being cracked quickly go down significantly. For
now. But it's only a matter of time before someone comes up with a big
collection of pre-digested passwords that include punctuation marks -
assuming it hasn't been done already.
This isn't a gaping security hole in Windows. In order to reconstitute the
original password, you have to be able to get at the encrypted version of
the password, and that (generally) isn't easy - anyone who can get at the
encrypted version of the password can get at your data anyway, and they can
decrypt the data at leisure.
But it should serve as a wake-up call. Windows passwords aren't
ultra-secure. They can be broken - with ease, in some cases. You can make a
potential breaker's job considerably more difficult by putting punctuation
marks in your passwords. If you need very strong security, Windows logon
passwords just don't cut the mustard.

I am currently running sbs 2K on a single machine and have

provider that is hosting the main web site. Here is the
problem, whenever internal users try to access the main
website, they cannot. Either ISA, or DNS is not allowing
them to see it. I am guessing the when the server

Network Infrastructure - Please help
I am setting up a Small Business Server 2000 network for a
small business primarily to host SQL Server and Exchange,
in addition to serving as a domain controller. I am using
SBS because of the reduced cost of the bundled packages
for a network that will have few users. In addition to
the SBS server I will have a web server sitting as a
standalone server in a DMZ (while the web server is
available to the public, it will only be used to contact
the database by internal employees).
I would also like to set up a test server which will need
IIS and SQL Server. I know that SBS must run as the root
domain controller and no more than one instance of SBS can
run in the same network, however it is cheaper for me to
use another edition of SBS for the test server instead of
purchasing Win2K Server and SQL Server 2000 separately. I
would also like to use SBS so the test environment mimics
as closely as possible the production environment.
I would like some recommendations on whether this is the
best way to implement or if running two different domains
for test and production will cause too many headaches.

strictly for backup purposes. Both will be identical and contain 4 18gig
SCSI Raid 5 arrays.
Worst case scenario is the main server is completely destroyed! He wants to
take the backup and "restore" from his external tape drive. He will already
have W2k installed on the backup.
I see several problems with this scenario:
1. If the original server is completely destroyed then it is likely the tape
drive will also be destroyed. This can be remedied by purchasing a second
tape drive.
2. Doing a file/file restore onto a blank W2k box may not bring the system
into a recoverable state because of the SFN/LFN issues. Also, presumably the
backup may not be at the same service pack level etc as the primary server.
This could be remedied by using some sort of imaging software and tape
restore combination. Any recommendations on this setup?
How about using Veritas Bare Metal Restore Option? Any comments?
How about using Powerquest's V2i software? or Sunbelt's Double-Take
software? Comments.
Thanks,

NT Backup
Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I have recently given up using Vertas Backup Exec 8.6 on
my SBS2000 server, since when ever I run a backup it just
seats there queued.
I have been trying NT Backup and it it seem to work fine.
I am running an 8 DDS4 autoloader. Currently I have to
deallocate and prepare tapes by hand in the removeable
storage MMC. Is there any way I can automate this so when
I go on holiday for example I can just get someone to load
a tape for me.
Many Thanks in advance.
Regards

OT (?) - problems browsing with IE6
Don't know if it's off topic or not, but I'm getting odd behaviour on a
client PC in Internet Explorer 6, when right-clicking on a link and
selecting "Open Link in New Window".
Initially, there are no problems, but after a while when I follow the same
procedure, the new window opens up, shows nothing and eventually times out
with "cannot find server or DNS error". On the other hand, if I first open
a new IE window and paste the link into the address bar, the page always
opens just fine. Tried this on another workstation, didn't experience the
same problem. On the problem workstation, newsgroup browsing with OE is
problem-free, and pinging the URL's shows no problems.
Client is Win2K with SP4, using Firewall client and SecureNAT connection
through ISA server.
Can anybody point me in the right direction here - should I be looking at an
IE setting, an ISA setting, a firewall client setting, or something else? Tag: TEST MESSAGE---PLEASE IGNORE Tag: 119909
Detect port scan
Hi,
I've just been checking in a spare moment (rare) and doing
a port scan of my server from the outside. I can see in
the ISA logs that ISA is blocking all the probes, but I
thought I had set ISA to report such a port scan to me
through email and the event log, but this is not happening.
What do I need to do to set this up? eg tp get emails
showing a port scan has occurred.

SBS Fax Service - UK-available compatible modem
Wondering if anyone can help. We install SBS 2000 for
clients, and have numerous problems configuring the SBS
Fax service and it appears pretty unstable once
configured.
Reading through various newsgroups, it appears that the
problem can be fixed with a modem on the hardware
compatibility list. My challenge though is sourcing a
make/model for the UK, within the budget of a typical
small business, that is on the hardware compatibility
list.
I have really struggled to identify one from the list,
and would appreciate a recommendation of one that works -
especially grateful if you can supply manufacturer name,
model number and if you have it a link to their site.
Thanks in advance.

Exmerge Question
I have an SBS4.5 Server, just bought a new server and installed SBS2000. We
are going to build a whole new domain, pretty much start from scratch. We
are going to use EXMERGE to backup the old emails from the 4.5 domain. Then
we are going to use Exmerge to import those to our new domain.
Here's the question. On the 4.5 domain the usernames on the network (and
mailboxes) were the users first name only, on the new domain we are going to
first initial last name usernames. I have never run Exmerge but I want to
make sure that I will be able to map the old mailboxes to the right new
accounts.
Any advice?
Thanks!

Backup Domain in SBS
I've two Servers located in two different Countrys. One is SBS(AD), One is
Win2000 server(member server, no AD).
There are using the Linksys VPN Router to connect these two
computers(network). The internet connection in Win2000 site is not too
stable, it will drop the connect anytime and the VPN connection will drop at
the same time. When it is lost, it will be caused a big Problem. The client
computers on the site on Win2000 server will not be abled to access the
files whatever that is located in SBS side or Local Side. (i think that is
the security problem.)
Can this problem be fixed by me promoting the win2000 server as a backup
domain?
After promoting, what will happen when the internet connection drop again?
Will it need huge the internet traffic for maintain the security at the both
side servers?
Thanks for help..... Tag: TEST MESSAGE---PLEASE IGNORE Tag: 119850
net switcher
hi! Months ago, someone suggested a couple of programs for allowing
consultants to easily switch from one clients network to another on their
laptop without having to rejoin the domain. I know net switcher was one,
what was the other two programs?

Outlook/Exchange query
hi all
we have a confusing problem with Outlook/Exchange.
emails are all working correctly internally and externally.
exchange backups all fine etc etc.
only problem is email previewing or opening of emails seems to be very SLOW.
ie too slow
we have just upgraded with HP proliant ml350 + 9 HP D530 ultraslims so it
should be a heck of a lot faster.
to confuse things we have looked more closely and founfd that the previewing
of emails is only an issue with internal emails. ie if we send an email from
our office to theirs the process works fine.
if they send one from one staff memeber to the next it seems to take ages.
v.odd - have checked name resolution for eny DNS mishaps but all seems
correct.

GPO on member TS
I am setting up a Win2K terminal server member to a SBS2K domain. On the TS,
we will need to have a few different groups created. Some of the users will
need access to run certain applications, while others not. I have followed
KB263070, but when I attempt to click on the Group Policy Tab I recieve the
error "The Domain controller for Group Policy operations is not available.
You may cancel this ioeratn for this session or retry using one of the
following domain controller choices:
The one with the Operations Master token for the PDC emulator
The one used by the Active Directory Snap-ins
Use any available domain controller.
