    - Windows updates not installing Hi, I have SBS 2003 standard. All updates were installing OK. Until Critical Update for ADODB.stream (KB870669). This pops up with this update hasn't passed windows logo testing and won't install. Then when the next round of updates came out: Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows Server 2003 (KB867801) etc etc These all fail to install. How do I get past this problem.

    - email failures Hi all Hoping once again someone can be of assistance. My client is running SBS2K, exchange server, etc and has suddenly developed a strange problem. There is a specific email provider that they are unable to send mail to. They can receive mail from two individuals but get immediate mail failure when either replying or creating new e-mails. The mail host is snet.net They get mail from abc123@snet.net but cannot return mail to them. I have contacted SBC tech support (no luck) and have sent mail to their web services host but haven't heard back. Can anyone shed sodme light?? thanks CarlS Tag: Upgrading to Server 2003 Tag: 162990

    - SIP VoIP Phone (Snom 200) Hi, I've installed a small network with a SBS 2003 Pro server as its domain controller etc. I'm trying to use SIP as my VoIP telephone system. I've succesfully set up a SIP telephone connection using a Software Telephone on one of the Window XP Pro desktops. However I can't get a dedicated SIP telephone (A SMON 200) to work. It gets its local IP address and gateway info etc corectly from the SBS2003 DHCP service but then can't get any Internet access. It can't even connect to a time server. How do I allow a network device like a VoIP dedicated telephone access to the Internet through the ISA firewall (which I assume is blocking the phones trafic)?

    - Disk space 'disappearing' Hello, The disk space on my system drive appears to be disappearing. According to the drive properties, I have a 4,055 MB partition, of which 3,653 MB is currently used, leaving 402MB free If I analyise the contents of the drive, the following space is reported as being used. Program File 1,475 MB WINNT 1,312 MB [root] 257 MB Inetpub 57 MB Documents & settings 41 MB Other folders (Total) 0.1 MB TOTAL 3,142 MB Does anyone know where the missing 511 MB is and how I can get it back? I have checked that the above figures for the space used by the folders are the actual disk space used (total of file sizes is 3,105 MB) and as far as I can tell, I have included all hidden/system folders/files. The only folder I have any doubt about, is 'System Volume Information' which I cannot seem to access in anyway. I am running SBS 2000 with SP4 on a Dell PowerEdge 2400 with a RAID 5 disk array.

    - Upgrade from one W2K SBS to one W2K3 Enterprise Server and one W2K3 Standard Server As of today, my company has one server running W2K SBS. We have bought a new server and are now going to upgrade to W2K3 Server. I was wondering if anybody has suggestion to do the following: * We want the new server to be the domain controller, with W2K3 Enterprise edition running on it. * We want to install W2K3 Standard Server on the old server, and install Exchange 2003 Enterprise Edition on this one as well. This server becomes a member of the new domain server which will be running on the new server. How would you guys out there approach this scenario? Hope you can be a little detailed here, so I don't get anything wrong. Thanks in advance!! Tag: Upgrading to Server 2003 Tag: 162979

    - Mail not appearing in outlook inbox I has just set up an SBS2k server with 3 clients so far (xp pro sp2) The following is happening on all the clients.... Messaging appears to be working fine except that whenever a message arrives for a user (be it internal or external) it doesnt appear in the user's outlook inbox until some interaction takes place with outlook. EG a user may have a number of messages waiting - when the user selects another outlook folder, say calendar, all the messages immediately appear in the inbox. Not sure if this is an outlook issue or an exchange server one. Can anyone throw any light on this? Thanks Stewart Tag: Upgrading to Server 2003 Tag: 162938

    - Workstation Question I have a problem with one on my workstations that I just setup. Fresh install xp with sp1. When I install the NIC and plug in the cable it pulls the address from DHCP. However, I cannot no matter what I do get the computer to ping the server. Things I have tried: 1. Reinstall nic and still pulls address but other than that nothing. 2. Install 2 totally dif nics, pulls addresses but still wont connect. 3. On every nic which I installed I also tried to just a direct internet line which also will not work. At first I though it was the nic but now I know it is not. The LAN is split into my workstation through a swtich so I know the connection works. This computer has had to internet access at all. Complete brand new install of windows XP SP1. Any ideas what I could try? Eddie Tag: Upgrading to Server 2003 Tag: 162935

    - Logon problem 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.

    - SBS 2000 and adding a "Member Server" Ok .. I've seen the notes - read the FAQ's but am really lost.. :-( I have a single SBS 2000 server .. I need to add a Windows 2000 server to the domain as there will be an application installed on it to do e-mail to mobiles.. So - I need to install windows 2000 server and give it full rights to read / write / send for each user. I understand I can install windows 2000 server as a member server .. so I 1) Install Windows 2000 server (default options taken to install) 2) Install drivers for network card and the likes 3) Configure network card for a static IP, subnet, gateway - Pri DNS to be the SBS server, Sec DNS to be the new 2000 server. 4) Create a user on SBS that has full admin rights. 5) Reboot the windows 2000 server - then Start - Control Panel - system - network - join to the domain - enter new user username/ pass it joins OK - reboot. 6) what now ??? The SBS server needs logon rights to the 2000 server ? does it create them itself ? I've read about having to dcpromo it .. but it fails .. (but doesn't it have to be a member server BEFORE I dcpromo it? In AD on the SBS I have moved the computer (the windows 2000 server) to the Domain Controller section - Lots of questions I know ... I just really want to get this server to be a member server ! how's it meant to work step by step guide anywhere ? Looked on www.sbs2000.info but nothing of use there.. Looked through the Microsoft site and cannot find correct answers .. Any help appreciated.. (sound like such a newbie sorry! .. give me a Cisco router and I'd be well away!)

    - User web browsing issue, W2K client I thought I might post a solution (work around?) I found to a perlexing issue we had with web browsing: it may be no use to anyone but would have saved me hours! I had a single user who could not browse the web via IE6 on a W2K client machine (SBS "internal" web pages were correctly served). For any URL, the ISA server returned a 403 error "The ISA server denies the specified URL (12202)". Every other user was able to browse normally and the user with problems could browse from all XP clients we have on site. The Firewall client is installed and configured correctly on all machines. IE settings were correct as per SBS defaults (i.e. pointing at the SBS2000 ISA: http://ISASERVER:8080) There were no differences between this user's setup and that of all other users in terms of group memberships (local or Domain). Looking at the various ISA logs, any connection that this user tried to make from IE generated entries in the Firewall client log rather than the Web Proxy log entries that other users generated. An example log with authenticated, Rule 1 and Rule 2 fields on as well as the defaults (user name replaced): 10.0.0.50 *** IEXPLORE.EXE:3:5.0 Y 2004-08-12 09:06:10 ISASERVER - 207.46.245.92 80 15 - 3415 80 TCP Connect 20000 BackOffice Internet Access Protocol Rule - 21 84 This suggested that for whatever reason, IE was trying to connect via the Firewall service and not via WebProxy. After much playing with Firewall and IE proxy settings, the only solution I found was to clear all the local IE cache, history etc, clear the IE proxy settings, quit IE. Then reopen and set IE proxy setting to ISASERVER:8080, including setting the advanced proxy address field to ISASERVER:8080 (all protocols checked). Note that I had already tried reentering http://ISASERVER:8080 and this did not work. Firewall client remains enabled. Why this solved the problem I don't know (HKLU registry issue?), although I'd appreciate any suggestions on the underlying cause. Andy Sims Tag: Upgrading to Server 2003 Tag: 162923

    - Serious SBS issues Firstly, I know this isn't the SBS 2003 group, but I am under pressure big time here and don't have time to use other news servers at the moment. A customer has SBS2003 Premium. Running on a high spec IBM server. We rebooted because of backup problems and upon logging in, and the desktop coming up, I get the following message: mmc.exe - Unable to locate component (red X) This application has failed to start because MFC42u.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Because of this, I can't get into things like the event viewer. Other apps seem to be OK.

    - Spam Relay Problem - what else can I do? Please Help. Hi folks, I haven't had to deal with spam relays like this before and am really getting bombarded. Here is the scoop: SBS 2000 w/ ISA on public IP Server was already defined to not relay I unticked check box so that even authenticated users can't relay I followed MS KB article on configuring SBS for non relay, purging queues and deleting bad mail. I only had a few hundred emails stuck in queues, but I'm a little upset that they even got there. So after all of this work last night, I remote in and check the queues and there is an smtp connector in there for the usbank scam. I enumerated it and deleted it. Later on this morning, there are smtp connectors for yahoo and our local roaddunner cfl.rr.com. Is this anyway related to webmail usage? Should I ever see any more smtp connectors than the default four that are always there? Does anybody know the default nature of the relay process in exchange? If everything is configured correctly, am I going to temporarily see a relay in the queues before it is nixed by policy? Is it possible that a user's computer is infected and that is why we are having this problem? All computers are running updated AV. I also turned up the logging as defined in the KB articles and I'm getting some events that: EXPS is temporarily unable to provide protocol security with "matrix". "CSessionContext::OnEXPSInNegotiate" called "HrServerNegotiateAuth" which failed with error code 0x8007052e ( y:\transmt\src\smtpsink\exps\expslib\context.cpp@1462 ). Thanks for any insight and help.

    - Exchange Server Vs POP3 We are trying to implement a dual heading of email access where the clients recover AND send their email using a remote POP box. We are using .OST files rather than .PST because we need Exchange Server to hold a mirror of their emails. All works fine except if you email another client of the Exchange server in which case the email is not sent out to their POP box but retained by Exchange Server internally. The trouble is that the client may be working off-site and expects all their email to be in the POP box. What settings do we need to change to force Exchange Server to leave outbound emails alone and let them go outside to the POP box in all cases? Tag: Upgrading to Server 2003 Tag: 162813

We're planning on opening a new office and using SBS2003 on a new server. Our current office uses SBS2K, and all is fine so we have no plans to upgrade this installation. Anyway, I don't know what the best way to manage these two servers is to provide as "seamless" an integration as possible (i.e. can 1 exchange server handle all the email? Can the two servers be VPN'ed to each other to share access to each other's resources, etc.) Thanks! Darrin Tag: Upgrading to Server 2003 Tag: 162804

    - SBS 2000, Exchange won't allow me to change primary account We've got an SBS 2k setup and have several email addresses (abc.org, abc.com, abc.co.uk, etc.) for each client. SBS was set up using the abc.org setup with the others as secondary addresses for each user. All mail can be received on any email address so that side of things is working fine. However, we'd rather have the primary to be abc.com. Unfortunately, I can no longer seem to be able to select a different 'Primary' account. The option to change is there and the dialog boxes allow me to go through the procedure and appears to have succeeded at the end of the process but if I click back into the dialog box, I see that everything is back the way it was. This is driving me nuts. There are no error messages in the event viewer. Everything appears to be running fine except this.

I have a SBS2000 server which we uninstalled SBS 2000 from it.

We then installed(upgraded) server 2000 on it

We still continually get messages that a SBS200 server cannot be upgraded to
Server 2003,

Any suggestions to get past this?

Thanks.
Mike

Hi Mike,

You can't "uninstall" SBS. You can only flatten it down with fdisk and start
from scratch with booting from CD.
