    - SBS 2003 OWA Calendar not working I have recently set up a new SBS 2003 server behind a firewall and have configured port forwarding to enable access to Outlook Web Access from the Internet. Users are able to connect and log in OK and get to their mailbox, and the Basic version works fine. But the premium version calendar does not work at all, we are just getting a "View Updating" hourglass which never times out or gives an error message. This does not happen if we access OWA from the browser on the server itself on a Remote Desktop Session but still does not work if we connect via VPN to the Server directly, rather than through port forwarding. Either there is some problem with the firewall, I have not enabled enough ports or there is something on the client Machines (Windows XP Pro running Outlook 2000) that is stopping it working. I am really hoping that someone has a solution for this as we were hoping to use OWA at remote sites to avoid the complexity of setting up VPN and direct client connections. Any ideas appreciated.

    - SBS2003-Messed up profile copy G'day, I was called in to help fix a blown SBS2003 Installation. As the 4th person called in, they have allready really messed things up. Somebody set them up with a home gateway router and only one NIC in the server and who knows how they answered the install wizatrd. They tried to join the PC's to the domain but didn't realize what a computer name is or what a user is. Quite a mess since they did this same abortive domain join on 4 of 5 clients. I have added a second NIC and re-run server setup. Joined the one pc they didn't screw up. I absolutely love the new profile copy routine! It is just fantastic and something sorely missed in SBS2000. Anyhow, on the "bad" clients, the profile copy routing "never ran" according to the user. I do see where 2 temporary and sparcely populated profiles with __sbs__ type names were created on each of these PC's. When I try to re-run the web-based profile copy routine it will not let me, says the profile permissions must be changed to allow access. I open up all permissions on the old profile and am logged in as administrator, no help. I am thinking of disjoing the domain (go back to workgroup) and re-joing to re-invoke the process? Anyone suggestions? Tag: Tutorials / guides wanted.... Tag: 152471

    - Help - 2nd server (Terminal Server) behind ISA and NAT I have configured a second server, which is to act as a Terminal Server, on my SBS2000 network. I am running ISA and NAT on the SBS2000 DC. I have a block of 4 public IPs from my ISP, but I am sort of confused on how to access the server from the outside if it has a private 10.10.10.x static IP address to access the SBS network. The only WAN side IP is the one on the WAN SBS2000 server. How would users be able to hit the Terminal Server? I am so confused. I have been researching everywhere and getting nowhere quick. Is there a way to publish another public IP address to the WAN side of the SBS2000 server, then route it through ISA to the Terminal Server, so the remote users can hit it? Any help or direction would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks Justin Tag: Tutorials / guides wanted.... Tag: 152400

Before I used a general email account for emails, now I am having to use specific email accounts. Can anyone help me out on this? I dont want to have to get back into the client scripts..

    - Exchange, Virtual Memory, too much RAM? Event ID 9582 Hello, We're running Small Business Server 2000, and (I think) Exchange service pack 3. In November I increased the RAM on the server from 512MB to 2.5GB. A week after I did this I realized that the paging file needed to be manually increased. I chose to move the paging file off of the C drive onto another partition. About six weeks later we started getting warning messages in the Application log: Event ID 9582, MSExchangeIS The virtual memory necessary to run your Exchange server is fragmented in such a way that performance may be affected. It is highly recommended that you restart all Exchange services to correct this issue. That seemed simple enough, so I rebooted and the messages went away. Now they're back. I'm getting Event ID 9582 warnings every hour, and two Event ID 9582 errors on Saturday and one today. I've been poking around MS website, and have just started monitoring MSExchangeIS VM Largest Block Size. I've also read something about antivirus programs competing with Exchange over memory, which results in memory fragmentation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Do we have too much RAM?

    - Port Scans I understand bored teenagers sitting in their rooms running port scans because they have nothing better to do, (well, I don't understand it so much as know it happens) but in the last 2 weeks I have had 3 port scans come from MSN. The first one appeared to come from MSN.com, but I never looked up the IP owner. (DNS said it belonged to MSN.com) Today I have another one, but the IP doesn't resolve to a name. If I pop the IP into a browser it takes me to an ESPN/MSN page. If I do a lookup on the owner of the IP address, it comes up as Disney. I've never had port scans from commercial sites logged before this year. Is anybody else noticing this behavior? Is this some form of an actual 'attacker' hiding behind common IP's? Thanks.

    - Pop3 Connector (Where do teh emails go?) This is actually for SBS 2003, but hope some one can shed some light. I use the SBS pop3 connector to download emails from a catchall account at my ISP. Over the past 2 days the Pop3 Connector was downloading email but it was not appearing in the Exchange mailboxes. A restart of the server seems to have solved this. I.e emails are now ariving in the relevant mailboxes. However the emails downlaoded over the past 2 days are not in any of the mailboxes. Does any one know where these emails would have gone. Or how the Pop3 Connector deals with emails it downloads so I can try and track down the missing emails. Thanks for the help Tag: Tutorials / guides wanted.... Tag: 152376

    - 550 5.7.1.1 Relay Errors I have been using Aureate Group Mail on a couple computers to send out newsletters to members and it has been working great until about a month ago. I started getting "can't relay for ********@******.***" errors. We are running a SBS2000 server with Exchange 2000. The program is set to SMTP authentication required when sending. I entered the IP address of both computers into the SMTP virtual server to allow them to relay. That worked for a couple times and then it started happening again. This time I just shut the computers down and let them sit for about 10 minutes, started them back up and then they sent without errors. Now I am having the same problem again and nothing is working. I even installed a different Group mail program and that gets the same error. Is there a setting on the server that I can set to allow them to send? Thank you in advance.

    - Exchange mail store + pop3 Can someone please answer a question for me. I'm wondering whether we can set up our SBS 2003 exchange server to act as the data store for all email .pst files, but still allow the individual workstations to go out to the pop3 server to send and retrieve email from our ISP More simply stated. I want to the benefits of remote access to Email (through Web Outlook), synchronization of remote devices to Exchange, and ease-of-administration that SBS2003 provides, but don't want the hassle of hosting our own email in-house.

    - Access Database to SQL All, I have a client where we have a SBS 2000 server with a second w2k server in Terminal Service Application mode. It is on this second server where we have our MS Access database applications and data. Our in-house and remote user access these applications/data using Terminal Services. I was wondering, since our databases are starting to get larger, and the backup procedure is NTBackup to the SBS 2000 server, would it be an improvement if I started up SQL server on the SBS 2000 box and convert my Access data files to SQL databases? I'd still use the Access forms as a front-end to the SQL server database (maybe move to VB in the future). We have roughly 12 users at a time accessing the data from the same Access application. This is a very low transaction environment. Each user might add 5 - 10 transactions a day. Not much. So, would it be a improvement using SQL for the data or would I just be opening up a can of worms? How are other folks running large database applications? I'm interested in improving the stability of our Access data and hoping to also improve the backup procedures. Thank you, Thomas J.

    - Unable to logon to domain, but can be added to domain I'm having a strange problem at one site. I can add computers to the domain during setup. But when trying to logon to the domain, the computers first displays the greyed out logon box end then nothing but the standard blue background. The problem first occured when I had changed some registry values (as described in this NG) to make XP browsing faster. I immediately changed those settings back to their normal value. When I'd changed those values back the computers that hadn't been started up for the day could logon, but the ones that had been started directly in the morning had to logon locally and access the resources on the server from there. All this happened a few months ago, but I didn't do much to solve the problem then. I planned to reinstall the "faulty" computers at a convinient occassion. But when I added two new computers the other day, I got same problem. They are added to the domain, but can't logon to the domain. Now I have eight computers that can't logon to the domain and four who can. All computers running WinXP Pro SP1 with the latest patches. Anyone having any ideas where to start looking? I've been thinking about using packet sniffers, but I really don't know what to look for. Any help would be greatly appriciated. TIA Johan Tag: Tutorials / guides wanted.... Tag: 152321

    - Migrating Exchange db from 5.5 to 2000 Hi, What is the best method for migrating an Exchange 5.5 db to an Exchange 2000 server? Scenario: This particular client has 10 users running on SBS4.5, (Exch 5.5). They have a newer server with a fresh install of SBS 2000. We'd like to move the entire 5.5 db over to the 2000 box and decommission the 5.5 box. When installing the 2000 server, there was an option to upgrade from 5.5 which we tried, however entering the requested 5.5 server name gave us "Error: Access Denied", and a corresponding event was created in the security log of the 5.5. server. Thanks in advance for any insights! Rodger Tag: Tutorials / guides wanted.... Tag: 152318

    - Changing User I have an employee who has moved on to bigger and beter things. We have replaced her with another employee and she has since moved into the old employees computer. She has been logging on with the ex-employees User and Password. I would like to simply change the user name and password for that account to the new employee. It seems we tried this a few months ago and it did not work very well. Is there a simple way of changing the account so that all of the services for that account get changed such as user folders and Exchange accounts? Thanks. Tag: Tutorials / guides wanted....

    - using msglabs with exchange Hi, a couple of questions relating to the config of Exchange on SBS 2000 when using Message Labs AV They ask that outbound email be directed to cluster1.eu.messagelabs.com - previoulsy we have been using the "use DNS" option, should the "use smart host" below the use dns option be configured with the new msglabs address? How do you restrict inbound connections on Exchange SBS 2000? - msglabs provide some accept and deny IP addresses, but where would these be entered within the Exchange config? Thanks.

    - Exchange + POP3 Hi, Last week we had a problem in exchange. We use a sbs 2000 version and in exchange we use the POP3 extention. The problem was that the database didn't mount anymore. Done the standard procedures with eseutil etc.. but, while we were getting the database back on track the exchange kept connecting to the pop3 boxes and got the mail. The only problem is since the stores were not up where did the mail go ? The 3th day we stopped the pop3 service. Until today we didn't manage to let the database mount again, so we set up the outlook clients to get there mail them selves so we win some time. The only problem is that we need the mail that was downloaded by the pop3 connector during these 2 days and how can we restore it somewhere. Some advice in this situation is more than welcome.

    - RAS Remote Connection I am running a SBS 2000 Network at home which works extremely well. I have recently purchased a palm which I want to use with my mobile phone to pick up my mail from the SBS exchange server when I'm away from home. I have tried to find articles on how best to go about this but nothing on how to configure RAS on my server. I am proposing to use a dialup connection into the server but from there I'm not sure. Can anyone give me some pointers eg articles or advice on how to do this? Regards Adrian Tag: Tutorials / guides wanted.... Tag: 152293

Hi, I have been looking at the net for some decent tutorial, but have been
unable to find decent ones. The subjects I need are;

- Setting up a scheduled backup on SBS2000 or SBS 2003 to backup files and
Exchange.

- Migrating exchange from SBS4.5 to SBS2003 (backup software is Arcserve)

- Migrating exchange from SBS2000 to SBS2003 (backup software is Arcserve)

Thanks in advance

Go to www.smallbizserver.net and there you will find a lot of information.
Migrating Exchange from SBS 4.5 to SBS 2003 will have to be done with
Exmerge.
SBS 2003 doesn't need a 3rd party backupprogram.
