    - Upgrade path(s) from SBS2000 Hello, I'm am trying to find out the most sensible upgrade path from my current SBS2000 network. I currently have a Dell Poweredge server with 2Gb RAM, approx 210Gb of RAID 5 storage and 50 CALs. Currently I am using approx 140Gb of disk space, I have 55 users that would like(!) to login, we use exchange (approx 8Gb store size), OWA, SQL server, IIS, ISA, Trend CSM, Vertias BackupExec, MailEssentials (for SPAM) and obviously file & print services. I need in the short term to (a) get the 5 extra users on the system (b) add another 5 users. In the medium term I expect to have to add another 10-15 users. I see two possibilities:- 1. Move to SBS2003 2. Move to seperate servers. Firstly, if I want to move to SBS 2003, what upgrade/licences do I need to buy? I have seen mentioned Transistion, upgrade and full copies of the (premium) product plus transistional, upgrade and additional extra CAL's Alternatively, if I move to seperate servers how many (or more appropriately how few!) do I need and what are the most sensible licencing options for Exchange, SQL server and IIS?

    - cached mode fix I had some problems with cached mode in outlook 2003 also on the server sbs2000 i enabled the deletion settings to 45 days. It so happened that the user had some messages that were 40/120mb in size emails. I used the filter on the deleted items folder and set it to anything less than 5mb in size. So that's how i fixed my cached mode problems. hope this helps someone. webboy Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172691

    - SMTP connector I have a SBS exchange server with a smtp connector. The connector freezes on a particular domain sometimes and says "scheduled" in the state field. The other domains say retry or active. I have to click force connection to get the mail to go out. This just started and nothing has changed on the server. The domain has been used before this because it is the address for our blackberries. Any ideas? Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172689

    - Fax Server issues.... I know this isn't the correct area to post this issue but hopefully someone has had this issue before... We have installed a BrookTrout TRUFax 2 port board into our WIndwos 2003 "standard" server and installed the "Fax" services so we can send receive faxes... The software installs fine but it will not "see" the fax board. It simply says "All fax printers are inaccessible" in teh status area (bottom right) of the "Fax Monitor". If you attempt to go into "Tools->Fax Service Manager" a message is displayed saying... "Could not open a connection to the fax service. The faxx service might not be started or the computer name might be incorrect". The fax service is strted and runing under the Local system\nt authority account" It will then take you to the "Fax Service Manager Window" but you cannot do anything. If you right click "Fax" in teh left pane and click "Properties' I get an "Access Denied" error... Also, if I right click the "Fax" printer added to "Printers and Faxes" and right click to access the Properties, I get a "You do not have security permissions to complete this operation. Contact the fax administrator for more information." error message. I even found a document that suggested adding the "Local System", Network Services" and "Administrators" groups to the local security policy - Windows Settings/Security Settings/Local Policies/User Rights Assignment - "Generate Security Audits" policy but that did not solve the problem... This Win2K3 server is a backup domain controller and I am logged on with my domain account. Has anyone ahd this type of a problem??? Thanks, Brad PS... This partiular brooktrout board is meant for a Win2K3 server - it does not work in a WIn2K server. Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172681

    - Cannot Find Number of Licences Installed? Hi, I've inherited a Small Business Server 2000 that was built by somebody else, anyway it had none of the SBS admin stuff on there so today I installed it all from the SBS setup on CD1. I still cannot find how many licences are installed, any suggestions? I'm quite sure the server came with 5, but the company I worked for have 9 employees, however I don't want to buy a 5 CAL pack if they'll soon need 20. Likewise I don't want to buy 20 if they already have 10 installed!!! Thanks in advance Daz Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172678

    - Network with SBS via VLAN's What am attempting to accomplish is to have 2 Vlans. One VLAN would have the SBS server on it and would support my computer network and IP Phones on that priviate network. Then I want to create a 2nd Vlan that would just support IP Phones and would not require and of the services of the SBS. Basically what I am trying to accomplish is to have a 2 node IP Telelephone system. Adtran make a device that that a router, a managed switch, and Power over Ethernet all in one. I plan on using this Adtran device to set up the 2 VLANs' and also connect my broadband connection to it. I plan on mapping the two VLAN's together so the IP Phones can communicate. I would set up the SBS Server with only one network adapter and the Adtran router would become the default gateway. I will also be installing a Harware firewall. Do this sound like it would work. Thanks in advance for any input. gregp Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172671

    - Another Question on Exchange Disk Space Again, thanks to you all for your input on my question about disk space for Exchange. I did an Exchange-aware backup last night and freed up about a half-gig of space on the M: drive. That still leaves me with only 1.9GB of free space on my M: drive. But as I understand it from your responses, if the M: drive is a virtual drive pointer to the Exchange database stored on my C: drive then the amount of free space on the M: drive is irrelevant since that's not where the data is stored If what I said above is correct, then I'm still low on disk space for Exchange because I have less than 2GB of free space on my C: drive. But I have almost 40GB of free space on drive F: which is where I store users' home folders and company folders. Would it be OK to move the Exchange database to the F: drive under an Exchange folder even though it's not a partition? Thanks so much. Techieluvr Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172670

    - Server Replacement I have an old SBS2000 server, very old CPU, maxed out RAM wise. Old system has 2 HD (20 GB C:, 80 GB D). Am purchasing a new server, Dell PowerEdge 800 with two (2) 160 GB drives. I need to replace my OLD SBS2000 server with the new one, but don't want to have to manually reconfigure everything. Is there a way to do a clean install on the new Server, while retrieving data from the old SBS2000? I figure I will have to do it over the weekend when the network is "offline". Trying to avoid manually reconfiguring all of my server settings on the new box. Old SBS will be retired after migration. Thanks. Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172644

    - Exchange 2K is getting hammered We are getting mercilessly hammered with what looks like people relaying spam through our Exchange server. I followed the advice last year to make sure we aren't an open relay but the Current Sessions queue in SMTP is constantly filled with email from outside domains and we are getting 10-20K undeliverable emails everyday. If I adjust the Access checkboxes so Anonymous Access is removed the spam stops but we don't receive outside email. This is an Exchange 2000 server with SP3 on SBS2K and we are hosting our own email for three different domains. I talked to our consultant today and he suggested putting another box in front of the Exchange server so it can get hammered and not the SBS server. I'm going to research this and I was wondering if anyone else had some alternate ideas on dealing with this. Thanks! Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172629

    - Forwarding mail to external mailcontact and deliver locally Hi all, I have this problem on a SBS2000 and also on the SBS2003 version. Forwarding (AD Users, Exchange General, Forwarding) to an external contact works fine. Sending Mail directly to that contact also works fine! But when I ask exchange to deliver the messages to both the forwarding address and Exchange mailbox, the forwarding doesn't work anymore. :-( Strange thing is that this used to work on several servers, but now (maybe due to a service pack update?) this doesn't work anymore for new forwardings!

    - Questions about how to set up exchange 2003 Hello, I want to run the wizard to connect to the internet especially for Exchange. I'm not sure about some of the questions. We have a domain name registered and hosted by our ISP. We get pop3 e-mail from them without a problem. I don't know how to answer the wizard when it asks to "Use DNS to route e-mail" or "Forward all e-mail to e-mail server at your ISP" Next question is "E-amil is delivered directly to my server" or "Email held at ISP until my server sends a signal". How do i determine the answers to these questions and what do i ask my ISP to get the answers to these questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Problems with mail delivery Sorry for posting twice.Not sure if this one went trough, I don't see my message anywhere, so here I go again. This is my scenario: We use exchange to send internal emails, share calendar, ect, we use and outside service to receive external emails. Guys something weird is happening here with one user when one user cpalermo CC people within the office (ex.cnicholes) and does "sent to" someone outside the office and when the person from the outside replies he receives the following message: Subject: Delivery Status Notification (Failure) The following message to <cnicholes@mydomain.local> was undeliverable. The reason for the problem: 5.1.2 - Bad destination host 'DNS Hard Error looking up mydomain.local (MX): NXDomain' When I go to cnicholes account in AD his default emial address is cnicholes@mydomaim.com which is correct and this is how it should be. His secondary is cnicholes@mydomain.local Also some users have in their address books with types of entries (FQDN and non-FQDN) for each person email address from within the office. By default, their Outlook inserts the non-FQDN. I would apreciate if some one can tell me or help me look for a solution for this one. This is only happening with this one user.

    - Server Crash Hi All once a week mainly on sunday night the sbs2000 box stops working. It basically will not let the administrator log on and all connectivity to it is dead. After a hard reboot it comes up ok and the only thing in the event viewer is as follows: The server was unable to allocate from the system paged pool because the pool was empty. There is no special 3rd party software on it and it only has started hapening a few months ago. Has anyone got any ideas please. We had a similar problem on another sbs2000 box and we resolved that by upgrading to sbs2003 !! Any help is much apreciated. Paris Tag: Upgrade to 2003 full product Tag: 172561

    - Outlook Web Access We have an SBS 2K server configured with two NIC's and are using OWA. However we can only access OWA remotely by first setting up a VPN connection to authenticate to the server and then running http://192.168.16.2/exchange where we have to authenticate a second time to open the mailbox. My understanding of OWA was to connect to the public IP address of the server. When we try to do this we just get a time out error. Can anyone please help me with this problem. Thankyou in advance.

    - Brightmail Authentication Problem I have installed Brightmail AntiSpam on a SBS 2000 server running exchange and ISA. For some reason I am unable to activate the product through their registration wizard. I am able to connect to the internet OK and all seems alright but it just won't work. Brightmail support have checked the installation logs and everything installed ok and they say will work as soon as registered properly. I am able to browse to their secure site ok and they and I are confused as to why I am unable to contact the Brightmail registration server. There is some sort of proxy server setting (I don't know why I would need it anyway) which call for a username and password. When I enter the administrator name and administrator I am refused access to the internet! Not sure what's happening here either. Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?

    - Problem Logging into the Domain on a Notebook Hello, SBS2K, WinXP Pro notebook. I am having trouble logging into the domain from a notebook. When I try to log in normally to the domain using either the Administrative account, or a users account that was always using the notebook (and also a local admin for the notebook), I receive the following message: "Windows cannot connect to the domain, either because the domain controller is down or otherwise unavailable, or because your computer account was not found." Also, if I try to log into the local computer, as opposed to the domain, with either the administrative account or a user account, both members of the local Administrators group, I receive the following message: "The system could not log you on. Make sure your username and domain are correct, then type your password. Letters in passwords must be typed using the correct case." The strangest part of all this is that if I turn off the wireless card and unplug the network cable then try to log into the domain using the Administrator account, I can successfully log in. Then, I can reconnect the cable and work normally. Since one of the messages I received mentioned the computer not being found in the domain, I went ahead and changed the computer domain after logging in in the manner I just described. After I did that and rebooted, I checked Active Directory, and saw the newly created computer. When I tried to log back in though, I received the same message as before. Now, I have no idea what to do to fix this. I haven't seen this problem before. Any ideas would be appreciated. If there is any more relevant info I haven't provided, I would be happy to do so.

    - SBS Pop3 Service and Outlook Express Hello Everyone, Another baffling glitch! A client who travels a lot can't VPN to the server, and doesn't like OWA. When I tried to connect outlook express to collect POP3 mail from the SBS 2000 server, I get prompted for user name and password. No matter what combination I try, nothing will work. Just keeps prompting for user name and password. I even took the notebook into the client's office and plugged it into the LAN with a cable. After changing all the settings so it knows where the server is, it pings the server but still is challenged for a user name and password when attempting to pop for the mail.

I think you should take a look at my website, www.SBSmigration.com, which
outlines a sensible approach to accomplish what you are looking to do. You
