    - Restricting Emails from exchange Is there anyway on Exchange server 2000 to ban all mails from a specific address as one of my clients is getting threats. If anyone can help it would be a great help. Thanks in advance Andy C Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142541

    - Pop/SMTP problems Hi, I know the pop3-connector isn't the best way to retrieve your mail and we're planning to switch to smtp soon. But till then I have some big problems here (SBS 2k): - people are getting unwanted mails from our server. It seems the pop3- connector is "sending out" messages again that have a different (domain) name then ours. The probable result is that people are receiving those messages twice and complain about it. Is there a way to prevent this? - one advice I did get was to turn off basic authentication (and anonymous authentication). This didn't work because no mail was getting through (I probably must change something at the client-side, too?). Unfortunately when we came back online the mailserver collected all the messages at our ISP, but didn't deliver them in the mailboxes (probably 'cause no one was authenticated?). My question: where are those messages? In a couple of days I hope we have a new mx-record and bSMTP to deliver mail in a good way. But till then I must use the ol' pop-3-collector in a safe way and I really want to know what happened to all our mail that just vanished. Thanks, David Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142539

    - Trend Officescan to Client Server Messaging SMB version We currently have Officescan SBS ver 5 (Actually 3.54) running on our SBS 2000 server. It is still happily getting updates, but I'm worried about the phase out of all of the older versions of Officescan for SBS. I'm not sure what the current situation is with Trend products, but our version didn't seem to be effected by the required upgrade / patch for version 5 users. (correct me if I'm wrong on this). I'm thinking I need to upgrade. I don't want to lose updates on something as critical as virus protection. I am also in the process of adding a second Windows 2000 server to use as a file server. I think I also need to upgrade our Trend to get the CSM version so I can install it on the second file server. I just talked to our reseller (Insight.Com). They informed me that the Small Medium Business version of CSM will be available on 12/1/03. I have about 30 users. It looks like I can get the standard SMB upgrade (25 users) plus a 5 user license pack for around $500. Does anyone know the differences are between the standard and SMB versions? Should I wait for the SMB version? Does anyone know the price of it? Will I still be able to do a cross-grade for it from OfficeScan for SBS? From what I can tell, it looks like the SMB version includes the Spam-filter instead of it being an add-on for the standard version. Thanks, Michael Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142530

    - Single Windows 2003 SBS running Terminal Services in APP MODE? Very simply put: Is it possible to configure Windows 2003 SBS (Standard) for Terminal Services in APPLICATION MODE? More complex: Windows Server 2003 (not SBS) that is a DOMAIN CONTROLLER does not allow Terminal Services in Application Mode (per the docs). Moreover, Windows Server 2003 SBS is only able to be a DOMAIN CONTROLLER (per the docs). MS Reseller support claims that Windows Server 2003 SBS can be configured for terminal services in application mode... BUT IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED. When asked if they have any docs to backup this claim they only can reference docs which state that IT IS RECOMMENDED to add another Windows 2003 Server for Terminal services.. What is the real answer, and are there any docs that you can point me to? Thanks -Matt Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142524

    - Disappearing POP3 email My POP3 emails get downloaded from my domain host, but they do not show up in any of the users' mailboxes. The number of items shown in the mailbox store also do not increase, which made me think that that SBS was not downloading the email. I have contacted my domain host, to verify my email settings, and they said my account was receiving messages fine. I then verified this by using the webmail provided by my domainhost, and the inbox was showing messages I have sent there, but then disappeared after a while. At this point, I figured SBS had downloaded them, only to see the the number of items have not increased in the mailbox store on the server, and obviously Outlook shows now new messagews. Also, I can send messages to anybody outside and inside my network. Any suggestions? Thanks for all the help, Im really lost on this one. Attila Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142510

Now I want to install SBS2000 to take advantage of the POP3 connector as well as the management tools available with SBS2000. Will SBS2000 install directly over the existing setup or will Exchange 2000 need to be uninstalled and let SBS2000 install it's own copy of Exchange?

    - SBS 2003 DCHP problem after first Reboot I have installed the SBS 2003 and everything seems to work fine, but after I reboot the server for the first time I got an error with the DHCP server. The service is running, but when accessing DHCP using the adminstrative group I got the message that the DCHP is not connected. While the service is still running. But due to that problem no other application like exchange will run as it should be. I didnot do any changes on the system and the only thing I'm using is a 8 port switch instead of a 4 port have that I used to have. But have installed the hub again, but still get the same problem. I go through the Knowledge Base, but it was in vain. Appreciate to see if could have expierence the same problem and sent me the sollution. Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142489

    - Trend vs CA antivirus I know that Trend seems to be the most recommended AV product here, but I've been happy for a while with the older version of CA's software. The decision I'm trying to make for myself and a number of SBS clients is whether to upgrade to the new CA software, or switch to Trend. By the way, I notice from system tray icon on all the local Microsoft staff members' own computers that they use CA themselves - seems to be quite a solid endorsement. Any comments?

    - SBS 2000 CALs with S/W Assurance for SBS 2003, what SKU? Hi All, I have an SBS 2000 server with 25 CALS. Both the server and the CALS are on software assurance (Upgrade Advantage actually) until June 2004. I now need to buy another 10 new CALS for SBS 2000. I want to buy the new CALs with software assurance so that I am entitled to upgrade the server software and all 35 CALs for no charge when we decide to move to SBS 2003. I can already see our existing SBS CAL packs have SBS 2003 key codes on open.microsoft.com. I want these new CALs to appear on there also. Can anyone point me to the correct SKU code? I think it is: E76-00206 for 5 CAL licence with software assurance, and E76-00189 for a 10 CAL floppy disk, but they are priced cheaper than new CALS for SBS 2003 which doesn't really make sense to me? :-) Thanks, Mark Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142443

    - FTP Server hack prevention Hi everybody. We have a W2000 FTP server set up behind ISA (SBS version). I have setup a server publishing rule in ISA to only route requests from certain IP addresses to the FTP server. I tested it from an ip address not in the list and no access was granted. I figured this was all I needed to do to keep it as secure as possible... I was wrong So my ftp server was hacked, all my files were deleted and a bunch of non-windows files (the really hard to delete ones) were added. What more can I do to secure this server? We dont want to use password authentication cause the damn things are send in plain text... any other options? Thanks Gary Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142427

    - VPN between two SBS2000 servers Hi All I have a customer that wants to be able to connect from a client on one SBS2000 network to the server via VPN on another SBS2000 network. I have configured and set up the server to accept the vpn connection and can connect via my SBS2000 network and connect to all resources. The client can connect but can not connect to the resources etc. I am wondering if this is likely to be a sub net issue. The client is using the same internal range at both locations 192.168.16.x, the VPN uses 192.168.0.x and I use 10.0.0.x internally. We are using the same login for testing. Same packet filters are installed etc. Is the fact they are using 192.168.16.x at both locations the problem? If not is there something else I should check on their network? I'm pretty sure it is set up the same as mine. ilr Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142407

    - SBS2000 and NT4 Hello Everyone, Need help in configuring the following; If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. We have an NT4 domain setup with Exchange 5.5 SP4 Everything is fine, everything works no problems. New server is SBS2000, setup from scratch. Everything seems to work. Only 10 peeps in the office with pst so no problem I can re-create all the mailboxes. No need to migrate. On the new server users will have no pst's. We must keep the old server as it has a FileMaker server and some accounting stuff.Therefore, how can I 1. move the old server (PDC) in the new domain? From what I read, no trusts can be setup between old and new domains. 2. log clients into new domain SBS and give them access to old FileMaker app? Any help is much appreciated.

    - WINS Server IP address is wrong I have a WINDOWS 2000 domain controller with WINS enabled. All works just fine however I noticed I was getting some IP Spoof alerts from my internet access device. I traced it down to the DC - which for some reason was using the 169.254.x.x Microsoft Private IP address as it's own. This address space is handed out when a DHCP interface comes up but cannot find a DHCP server I believe. Sure enough when I looked on the console and brought up WINS admin interface my DC was presented with that IP address. The DC has 2 NICs - but only one is enabled and plugged in. WINS works - but I want to get this correct. Can I change that IP address for the WINS server somehow? Is this happening because that second NIC is disabled and that is the NIC it tries to bind to at startup? Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142374

You have went way above and beyond what any/most newsgroup support person would ever provide. I am extremely greatful and so is the company I work for. Your knowledge and experience of SBS and networking is above anybody else I know. I was greatful for some advice, but you basically took me under your wings and provided support superior to any I've ever received from MS Support. I can never provide the level of knowledge you have to pay you back, but if you ever run across issues with custom program design and programming, I may be able to help.

Tried to set the new server up as a part of the 2000 domain and adprep wouldn't work for either the forest or the domain. Didn't have enough room on the 2000 server to upgrade to 2003 and couldn't ghost from one hard drive to another. Can anyone help Tag: Using Old SBS as Workstation Tag: 142329

    - Idiots guide to VPN and remote admin required We currently have an SBS4.5 server on a dialup ISDN line. I can remotely access and administer the server by dialling in (then getting dialled back), logging in and running our remote access software called NetOp (similar to PCAnywhere). If I need to see the workstation desktops that have NetOp installed on, I temporarily enable port forwarding (naughty I know) on the server so I can connect to their IP addresses I am about to get a NON NAT (one IP address) router based broadband package from Demon internet (UK) and upgrade the server to SBS2000 and clients to XP Pro. How can I remotely admin the Server and clients on this new network? Will terminal services only allow me to "see" the servers desktop? Will I still need NetOp to see the client desktops? I have set up VPN and various packet filters on my test server at home so I am fairly familiar with ISA. But I have never played with terminal services or any remote software over my VPN connection. Also I am unable to test how putting a NON NAT router between my SBS2000 server and the internet will affect any of this. If anyone could offer any advice or pointers, I would appreciate it.

Hi to all,

I'm not sure if this is the right group but I'll ask any.

We recently added a new SBS 2000 server and now I have a
old SBS 4.5 server that I want to convert to a workstation.

Can this be done, and if so, how?

TIA

Bob

Hi Bob -

The process is very simple:

Format C:
Install client OS of your choice
Join to SBS2k domain

Hi,

You cannot have a sbs45 server and an sbs2000 server co-existing on the
same domain or subnet.

You will need to format and reinstall a client os onto that machine.
