    - Roaming Profiles - or not? Hi, Current setup: SBS2K + W2K clients. Mixed desktops and laptops and users use both laptops and desktops. Currently using roaming profiles for the users, we are having some small problems such as files popping up on the desktop even though they have been deleted (maybe on another machine). I was reading some rather old comments by Jeff on the topic of roaming profiles vs. redirected folders. Are the conclusion still valid, that redirect folders most likely are the way to go (in my situation)? Are there any better alternatives where more "user experience" settings are included in the "mobile profile"? If you recommending me to stick with the roaming profiles (which I otherwise do not have any serious problems with), how do I solve the current problem? By telling users not to stick files on the desktop? Anon Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176300

    - Using adress book on Exchange as default adressbook Hi! I am having a contact folder on my exhange server, that I share with several other co-workers. When I am writing an e-mail, and I press on the adress book icon it goes to the local computer adress book. How do I link it so when I press the icon button for adress book, it goes directly to the public folder?

    - Exchange reply address I have a client with two offices, both running SBS 2K. Each have been running separate domains for mail. The client would now like to utilize a single domain for email. To that end, I have set up the larger of the two offices with the new preferred domain for mail. At that same office, I have setup users which correspond to users at the smaller office. These users forward to contacts with email addresses that match those of the users at the smaller office, using its original mail domain. All seems to work fairly well, but the client would like the "reply" or "from" on emails sent from clients in the smaller office to match that of the new preferred domain name, rather than the original mail domain for that office. I tried adding the new preferred domain name to recipient policy in the smaller office and making it primary, but not authoritative. That seemed to work for outside email, but the users in the smaller office could not reply to users at the larger office. The emails were rejected because the users could not be found, I assume because the smaller office was looking within itself for those larger office addresses. It has occurred to me to try setting the default email addresses at the individual user level, rather than through recipient policy, but I am not very confident this will do much good. Does anybody have a workaround for my problem or a better way to achieve my goal? Thanks for any help or insight. Joe Welna Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176289

    - Pop3 Collector losing mail? Help! I've got several pop3 accounts being collected by the pop3 collector on SBS2000. Been set up for ages and mail works ok, except if the mail is big it seems. Been sent some 6mb mails, checked the pop3 box through a web interface to see if they are there. Waited for the pop3 collector to collect. Checked the logs which I set to maximum. It said it downloaded the mail and gave it a Message ID. However Trend Scanmail (Client Server Messenging Suite SMB) doesn't show it in its scan logs. And Exchange's Message Tracking Centre doesn't show it no matter how I search. Looked in Badmail and nothing new there, looked in the server.log directory and no mention of the message in the log there. Tried another scenario where there was a small mail and a big mail in the pop3 box at the same time. The big mail did as above, the small mail ended up in my mailbox no problems. Ideas anyone? Thanks. Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176286

    - Windows Update KB905915 issues Over the last 2 weeks my SBS 2000 server has been experiencing very erratic behavior. I believe I have narrowed the culprit down to windows update KB905915. I am unsure what triggers the problems to start, but the only way to get things working again is to reboot the server. Once the problems begin, following are the symptoms I notice: 1) Unable to establish new VPN connections. Pre-established VPN connections remain connected and operational. I am able to create a new RDP connection from a workstation to the server. However, when I try to logoff from this remote connection I experience issue #5 detailed below. 2) Unable to use Internet Explorer on server. Screen just hangs with a blank white page. Client workstations can still browse internet OK. 3) Server will not answer any new incoming faxes. On two occasions I noticed the inbox had a fax "in progress". I tried to cancel the fax but then the status just hung at â??deletingâ??. I tried stopping and restarting the Microsoft shared fax service. The service stopped, but then gave the following message when trying to restart: â??Could not start the Microsoft shared fax service on local computer. The service did not return an error. This could be an internal windows error, or an internal system error.â?? Possibly this is the trigger that causes the server problems to begin. The fax service has a dependency on the RPC service. 4) I use the POP3 mail connector in Exchange to retrieve my e-mail. When the problems occur, no new POP3 mail is retrieved. However no error messages are written to the event logs. 5) When I attempt to logoff or reboot the server to correct the issue, it just hangs at the "saving your settings" window. I have let it sit here for over Â½ hour. The only way to reboot is to push the power button. 6) There are no relevant entries written to any event log indicating what the cause could be. I have now uninstalled this windows update about 4 days ago. Since then the problem has yet to occur again. The fax activity has been very low over the holiday weekend though, so time will tell if the problem is fixed for good. I would like to find out if anybody else has experienced similar issues with this update. Is there any fix available yet to get the update installed without causing a problem? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Don Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176284

    - Trend SMB 3.0 Issues I have contacted Trend support but do not have an answer yet - wondered if anyone else had similar issues-resolutions. SBS2003-ISA2000. Installed a new copy of SMB3.0. Problem Description : Having lots of issues after installing 3.0 Among issues: (1)Clients are not getting updates from the main server - though it is getting updates. (2)Clients are added through the dashboard - but after installing successfully - they no longer appear under any group. (I think this is why they do not get updates) (3)Cannot reach the ScanMail center at all - Exact Error Message : "Console Session has expired" after putting in a user name and password to reach the scan mail center. Therefore I cannot configure scan mail for attachment blocking and so forth. (4) When I go to the SBS server and try to reach San Mail via start - programs to go to Real Scan Monitor - I get a 127.0.0.1:16372 HTTP 400 error Step Taken So Far : Reinstalled program twice - per Les' guide - I have uninstalled the clients manually, then added them through the dashboard. they then will have the most recent settings - but will not receive them after that. They do NOT have a firewall on the desktops turned on. Any ideas? Also (5)- I have checked all the settings in IIS - but I am having issues from XP desktops getting to the complete dashboard. Windows 2000 clients have no issues. I think there is an issue with latest Sun Java and 3.0 - but have not found reference to this. Other issues that were reported (cashed and static files etc. are not the case). Thanks Robert Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176283

    - Remove client computer from SBS network I have a need to remove an old Windows 2000 and an old Windows XP client computer from an SBS2000 network and reuse them (for a small charity client) on a small peer to peer network (just the two computers, printer and internet connection). I wish to retain the existing (licenced) software and don't need to reformat them and setup from scratch. I've setup a workgroup so the computer isn't trying to find the SBS server but it seems to have an IP address not on the 255.255.255.0 subnet and therfore can't see the router. Is there something hanging around from the SBS setup / startup that I need to remove to change the computer back to non SBS mode ?

    - Can't access internet Joined 2 new computers to an existing domain. They can access everything but the internet. All settings are identical to existing accounts and it doesn't matter who logs on to the domain from these machines, even the domain administrator can not access the internet from these machines, however can access everything else within the domain. The machines receive IP addresses from the server and are within the scope. Could this be a licensing issue? I am baffled. Please help. The server is SBS 2000 and the clients are running XP pro.

    - Adding existing win2000 server to sbs2000 Hi We need to make a win2000+exchange2000 server part of an sbs2000 domain. Both servers have their own users/mailboxes defined but we need all users/mailboxes to be managed by sbs2000 domain. I have two questions; 1. We would like to retain the active directory and other settings on the sbs2000 and only bring users from the win2000 server. What is the correct way to make the win2000 server part of the sbs2000 domain without effecting sbs2000 active directory settings in any adverse way? 2. What would be the correct way to transfer users across? Should we just recreate them on sbs2000. There are not very many. Thanks Regards Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176238

    - Customer Contact List I have a multi-part question. I need to have a customer contact list set up for my users to be able to access and email customers from. Obviously, setting up each customer with an Active directory user account is out of the question. Am I correct in thinking that I can accomplish this by setting up a new distribution group in Active Directory, and creating new contacts for each customer and adding them into the new group? I was also thinking that I need to add an additional OU to hold just the customer contacts so as to keep them separate from my user accounts, etc. The contacts would contain name, address, phone, and the external email address of the cutomer. Secondly, I have one user that needs to be put in charge of maintaining the cutomer contact list. How can I set her up so that she has access to add/delete/change contacts without giving her access to any other part of Active Directory?

    - Can't Upgrade From SBS 2000 To SBS 2003 Because Of ISA 2000 I am trying to upgrade from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003. The setup in SBS 2003 will not let me because it says "Install Internet Security & Acceleration Server 2000 Service Pack 1 and the Update" I installed the service pack 1 and tried to run the SBS 2003 setup again and got the same message. I then isntalled service pack 2 and tried to run the SBS 2003 setup again and got the same message. Any idea as to what is going on and how to fix it? Thanks.

    - Controller card Nm9835cv disappered from the device manager. HELP! Dear all, we have installed two external fax modems to our SBS2000 server machine. The second one actually was conntected to COM3 through an interanl controller card which is nm9835cv (this is a pci muiti i/o controller card). But recectly users told me that they can not receive fax through server anymore. I noticed that after i load MS updates at Dec 15, they won't be able to receive fax. I don't know this is a conincidence or not. I went to the Deive manager, I found that the NetMos 9835 pci Muiti-I/O controller disappears and under the Ports, I found that the NetMos Pci Serial port (com3) and NetMos Pci Serial Port (com4) disappear. Did anyone here experience similar things? Can anyone have any idea? This fax modem and controller card were installed by other person before. I have very little idea:(. Thanks very much for any help. Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176211

    - Creating admin accounts I would like to create administrative users, but when I add the users in through Administrator Console, these user names show up through the Address Book applet (accessed through Outlook when you hit the TO: button when composing a message) even if I manually delete the user's mailbox in Exchange. How do I create an administrative user (to install and update applications on the workstations) that won't show up in the address book list? Is there a proper guide or white paper on the proper settings for users that are designated as admins? Julian Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176200

    - Convert SBS to member server of a new domain Currently have an SBS 2000 domain that has not been maintained well and is on old hardware. I have built an entirely new network domain with Windows 2003 Server, Exchange 2003 etc... I created new User ID's etc... moved all data, exported all mailboxes to new Exchange Organization and all work fine. I would like to install Windows 2003 Server on the existing SBS 2000 server and join it to the new domain as a member server. There is one application however that I would rather not re-install (a manufacturing package) that resides on this server. Is there a way to upgrade the operating system to Windows 2003 Server (no need to preserve anything associated with email, active directory etc...) and keep the application installed? Thanks for any ideas you may have. Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176192

    - SBS 2000 wont Boot I have had a SBS 2000 in production for a few years. Last night the server "locked up" and nothing I could do to get it out of this state. After rebooting the computer, it boots about 3/4 of the way into the windows2000 screen then freezes to a blue screen with a STOP CODE 7B INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE. I worked with Dell and they are pretty sure its not a hardware issue. We ran some hardware tests. It will not boot into safe mode. Same Error. The server has 2 drives in a RAID mirror. What are my options on trying to figure this out. Thanks, Kristian Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176190

    - VPN freezes after connecting Hello, We run SBS 2000 with ISA 2000 and are trying to connect a remote user through the VPN. That machine is running Windows XP Tablet. The VPN seems to connect fine, and it sends data, but nothing is ever received back. It seems stuck on 354 bytes, I cannot map to anything, and when I remote desktop into the server, I cannot see the VPN machine. I tried also VPN'ing with a very old W98SE machine to see if it was XP and that machine did the same thing. Any suggestions? Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176189

    - Network Connections Control Disappeared We are running SBS 2000. The network connections icon in the control panel has stopped functioning, and when selected, returns a blank window and hourglass that does not change after 30 minutes. Using the Internet Connection Wizard also reaches the final screen and quits, and the network adapter icons that should appear on the task bar are missing. We have rebooted several times, run scandisk, defragged, etc., etc. and still no satisfaction. However IPCONFIG /ALL returns the correct data for each of our two ethernet adapters. Any insight greatly appreciated. I am about ready to try to reinstall/repair the SBS operating system. PowerUser Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176178

    - Why Does It Have To Be Soooooooo Difficult To Upgrade From SBS 200 I am currently running SBS 2000 and want to upgrade to SBS 2003 because I want to put Microsoft CRM 3.0 on my server and Microsoft CRM 3.0 will not run on SBS 2000. When I ran the SBS 2003 setup I was told that before I could upgrade to SBS 2003 that I first had to upgrade SQL Server 2000 to Service Pack 3. I want to install SP3a to my SQL 2000 Server. I currently have version 8.00.194 RTM. I get to the point where I am getting a message saying that "Setup is installing Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)..." I have tried this several times and I keep getting to the same place with hanging there. I let it run overnight and it has now been displaying that message for over 8 hours.

    - Upgrading From SBS 2000 To SBS 2003 I currently have SBS 2000 installed on my server and want to upgrade to 2003 keeping all of my current settings, like domain, active directory and programs. I have both an NFR copy of SBS 2003 and the action pack copy of SBS 2003. I took the first cd from the NFR copy of SBS 2003 and booted my server from that cd. I was not asked if I wanted to do a new install or an upgrade. Once I was prompted to enter a user name, organization and a name for the domain I realized that this was not working the way I had hoped. At least I did not think so. I cancelled the installation at that point and rebooted my server. I was then prompted as to which o/s I wanted to load. I don't want 2 o/s's on my server I just want to upgrade everything that is on SBS 2000 to SBS 2003. Can I do this with an NFR copy of SBS 2003? If not, can I do this with my action pack copy of SBS 2003? I am hoping that I do not need to get a SBS 2003 Upgrade copy of SBS 2003 to do this. So how does this work? Thanks.

    - VPN... very nearly there! Trying to set up VPN; feel tantalisingly near success! The remote client runs XPHome. Have managed to create a MS-VPN link through a Solwise SAR130 Router to SBS2000 (single NIC) Server with a 5 workstation LAN. The Solwise has had a NAT rule added to forward MS-VPN info to correct port (1723) and Servers' static IP address. SBS has RAS running, configured with Server as 'router' and for 'remote access'. However RAS is still set to 'DHCP' rather than idebntifying a pool of addreses, even though all clients on the LAN actually have static IPs. Each user is configred for remote access and I can log in on the VPN connection with each users Name and password. A lovely message saying that I am connected appears on the remote client PC and when looking at the Server via remote desktop the RAS MMC shows activity for which ever User is logged in. However nothing else happens; I can't 'see' anything on that users space. I was expecting to see their 'desktop' or something. Am I missing something really simple! Thanks in anticipation!

    - Will Norton Ghost version 10 Make An Image Of SBS 2000 Hard Drive I have been hearing different things as far as if Norton Ghost will make an exact image of my primary SBS 2000 hard drive including o/s, registry, active directory and the applications? I am looking to do this on a one time basis so I can make an exact image of my primary drive before I upgrade it to SBS 2003 just in case something happens. So can I use Ghost version 10 or must I get Ghost Enterprise (the server version which is like 10 times the cost)? Thanks.

    - Transfer local printer Hello folks. Been a while since I've graced these forums, but I've come up with something that has stumped me. I have a client with a SBS 2000 server sp4 which is situated at a data centre and all users connect via terminal service running on that server to access their applications. Their printes transfer fine to it and they are able to print back to their local desktops. We added a standard server 2000 + terminal server licensing so they have two servers now to which they can connect. This is just to alliviate load. Yesterday we had it up and going, users connected, their roaming profiles copied over from the sbs domain controller and printers transferred. Today they called not being able to print. I tunnel over and sure enough their local printers are no longer transferring to the new server but will transfer if they log into the sbs box. If I log into either terminal server from my location as myself or one of the general users my local printer transfers no problem. At first I thought "profile" issue? Rights issue? But like I said, if I log in from my computer here, as one of their domain users, no issue on either server. If they log in from their location, one terminal server transfers ok, one doesn't but it did yesterday. Now I'm confused...help!! :-) Thanks Tag: <<< Third Magical M is now also SBS MVP >>> Tag: 176139

    - Making a complete hard disk image I have a server that currently has dual removable drives each with their own o/s.

Before I do that I would like to I would like to make a complete copy of what is on drive 1 including the registry, active directory, programs, o/s, etc and put it on drive 2 so that if I have a problem with upgrading drive 1 I can continue to work from drive 2.

    - upgrade to sbs2003 Hi everyone, We have been slowly working our way towards upgrading my sbs2k server to sbs2003, but recently, we found this document: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=FA187D1E-8218-4501-9729-222BD8EBB64C&displaylang=en Of note, the first paragraph says "To upgrade to Microsoft® Windows® Small Business Server 2003 from Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 or Windows 2000 Server, you must perform a server migration." This is very confusing, as it says we should do a migration instead of an inline upgrade... Can anyone clear this up? Cheers.
