    - Delayed mail I am having a problem with mail sending in SBS2K. I send mail to India and Singapore and I don't get the delivered reciept for over a WEEK. This is also when the customer recieves the email. I sent 3 emails between 2/15/05 and 2/22/05 and all 3 were actually delivered on the same day, 3/1/05. It appears that all mail going out of the US is several days late. It does not appear to happen with email in the US. Where can I check to see if they left my exchange server on time? This could be a problem with my ISP. -nn Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171227

    - Server for MS Access DB I already asked this question of Dell Support, but haven't really gotten a response. Although much of the question is hardware related, I imagine those here would be able to help me at least with the software portion of my question. I couldn't find a NG for MS Server 2k3... The following information is all being asked in reference to a MS Access Database that will be run in-house only. Thanks for any help. I work for a relatively small business, and we are setting up a server specifically for the purpose of storing and protecting our main company information database. This is to be accessible only within the office (so no remote management needed), and I had a couple of questions, as I'm relatively new to the world of server hardware and software. We will have 1-25 (probably no more than 10 at most times) accessing the database via a fronted placed on each user's system. What sort of processing power will it take to run this? 1GB Ram? Less? More? Second, we will be purchasing MS Server 2k3 to run this. Are there any specific advantages/disadvantages to using MS SB Server vs. MS Server? I've noticed that MS Server Standard is more expensive then MS SB Server, but that the additional CALs for SB Server are much more expensive. Finally, I would like to implement a RAID solution, as I understand that means we generate a 'mirror' of the data for both system stability and backup reasons. However, I don't know what sort of 'controller' I need. The system I was looking at here at Dell didn't offer a controller that was compatible, so I had to choose "No Primary Controller". Is that OK? What exactly does that mean? Thanks for your help. Vel Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171225

    - Different printer settings for different users I have a client who wants to track who is printing to their networked printers. They have seperate ids for the print driver to identify them but they don't want the users messing with the print driver all the time and they have to clear it out when they're done. Is there a way to set-up usres with specific printing preferences so that if the user logs into XP or 98 boxes the printer preferences are set from the server?

    - Really naive licensing question which I haven't researched yet (hows that for being honest up front!) I've got an SBS-2000 installation which is not presently using the Sql server portion. We've had a proposal from a vendor to move an app from a dedicated Unix server to Windows, and the Windows piece runs on SQL Server. So, their proposal includes SQL Server @ $666, and 6 Sql Server User cals @$146 each. Since I've already got Sql Server, how much of this can I save? Do I need the cals? We've got either 15 or 20 SBS cals, as I recall--the sub-operation that will use this software is probably 6 users max, which is why the spec. Pointers about where to read to understand limitations of Sql licensing welcome. As I recall from previous research, I'm not allowed to use the SBS SQL Server as a backing to a Web site. This issue will come up, but we are presently solving that via MySql, and may well continue to do that. -- Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171204

    - OT: disk speed Hi, We are looking to add a new server to our domain. It will primarily be used for storage. I am looking at getting a RAID 1 controller with 2 250GB drives. What is the main difference between SATA and SCSI drives. I know the SATA doesn't spin as fast but is it that noticable? The cost difference is pretty large. I can save over 1k by going with SATA. I originally was thinking about getting a storage server (storage server 2003 OS, can't run applications) but down the line I may need to move sqlServer to this new server (not a ton of people hitting it, just ~10 developers. I know I will need to purchase a seperage copy of sqlServer). Our SBServer is a SCSI drive so I can't really compare anything. If the server is primarily storage, do you think a SATA drive would be sufficient? (the vendors always push the higher end stuff so just looking for an objective viewpoint) Thanks Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171190

    - Total rebuild of SBS2000... I have an SBS 2000 server in bad shape. I am the 4th generation admin on it and I really don't think my predecessors had a clue. I have decided it's time to rebuild it. What I would like to know is how do I preserve the user accounts, shared files, exchange mail and most importantly the Active Directory data? I know I can backup system state data but won't that possibly include messed up Active Directory states/settings? I think I can just do a backup of exchange and import it in to the new server right? I really don't want to have to join the computers to a new domain and migrate profiles so any help would be great. Thanks, Rex Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171171

    - adding another server. Cals question Hi, We are running sbs2000 and are looking to add another server to our domain (win 2003). It will mostly be used for storage purposes etc. We currently have 15 cals for sbs. Is it correct that the server itself takes up one cal, but we don't need to purchase extra cals for each user accessing the new server. Its cals are rolled into the sbs2000 cals. So technically if we have 14 users, 14 cals are taken up by the users and 1 cal is taken by the new server. This means we don't have to buy any cals associated with the win2003 server. (If we needed to buy any cals it would be additional cals for the sbs2000 server). Please let me know if I am wrong. Thanks Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171147

    - SBS3000 upgrade stalled due to underscore in netbios domain name It seems what should have been a straightforward upgrade from SBS2000 to SBS2003 is now a nightmare, because of a little underscore in the domain netbios name (VAN_INT). Microsoft allowed this in SBS2000 but is not allowing it in SBS2003 to conform to RFC. Apparently this is a showstopper for the upgrade and next step is to do a fresh install of SBS2003. (which means building AD and Exchange Server again). Does anyone know of a way to get past this (or rename the domain netbios name in SBS 2000)?

    - VPN needs static IP I have a VPN establsihed and works fine. However, it is either giving the local address by a static pool or DHCP. I need the ability to assingn a local IP to a specific user. I see the option in AD Users and computer, but it is grayed out. On the client side, I can pick an IP address in the TCI-IP settings for the VPN, but the server rejects it. Any ideas? Thank you Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171126

    - Exchange 2000 all going to badmail... We have a Windows 2000 Small Business Server that *was* runningInternet Security and Acceleration Server and getting email justfine. After taking ISA out of the picture all incoming email isgoing directly to BadMail and we cannot figure out why. Here's what we did: 1. We unplugged and disabled the WAN adapter. (Internet connection now coming from Enterprise Firewall not ISA.) 2. We ran the Internet Connection Wizard and changed it from a broadband connection to router. We were told that ISA would not be used in this configuration and that made us very happy. 3. It then made the changes to Exchange and ISA and the connection. 4. Next I disabled Microsoft Firewall and the ISA related services. 5. We then changed all the clients on the LAN and things were good as far as getting to the internet but nobody was getting mail. 6. We run ORF and knew it was getting to the server but Message Tracking said it was going to BadMail. 7. At this point we did the exact same thing on the test server we have at another location. Well almost exact. I left the services alone. Everything worked perfectly. 8. So we enabled Microsoft Firewall and the ISA services and still no email. 9. We re-ran the Internet Connection Wizard and still nothing. Presently that's where we are at. We have email being delivered but Message Tracking says it's going right to BadMail. How can we fix this or figure out what the problem is? Thanks, Rex Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171124

    - Physically moving SBS2000 to newer motherboard setup (drives and nics) I know this may sound like a stupid question, but before I attempted it, I thought I would find out what the majority thought. I'm currently running an sbs2000 machine on an old PIII motherboard. The scsi drives it resides on are fairly new and would not need to be replaced. What I would like to do, is lift the drives which contain all the sbs information and put them into a new machine (motherboard and cpu's). Is it possible to just take the existing hard drives and put them in the mix on the new motherboard without losing the already provisioned 2 nic setup? Will the drives operate as normal on the new motherboard setup? I'm guessing not, but this would be nice if I could just take the drives out and install them in the new box and have it just fire right up. If I have left out any info, please ask away, I'd be happy to include more information. TIA Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171118

After deleating this lot it left 19 genuine emails which have now gone out. Is exchange bright enough to spot that it was full of spam and stopped sending? It's SBS 2003. Now I have to find which machine has been generating the spam. Thankfully there are only 15 to go at! Simon Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171082

    - Problem with Backup Hello, SBS2K. Back when I originally set up an SBS, I wrote a script that ran the imbedded MS backup program to back up the entire system each evening. The script then emails me the log file so I can see how the backup went. After working without a problem for almost 3 years, I got the following message in the log from last night's run: Error: You do not have permission to access portions of System State\Registry\software. Please see the owner or administrator to get permission. Warning: Unable to open the file \Registry\software - skipped. Backup completed on 2/22/2005 at 2:19 AM. Directories: 335 Files: 2401 Skipped: 1 Bytes: 510,611,337 Time: 10 minutes and 34 seconds Of course, the part of the message I am asking about is the first three lines about the permission problem. I wrote the script to run under the Administrator account. What could be the problem with this system state area of the backup. I cant think of anything I had done in the past few days that would effect the backup. Is there anything I can do to find out what's wrong? I appreciate the help.

    - FYI - MUP.SYS Howdy. This is not a question but an informative post in the hopes that it helps someone else in the future. My parent's computer was heavily infested with spyware including the TIBS dialer. They had been complaining that the system had not been working well for a while so I tried to clean it. Ended up just backing up their data and starting over from scratch. FDISKed and Formatted with a 98 boot disk first and then reloaded their XP Pro with NTFS file system. This is a system that I built them with AMD Processor and Gigabyte MB. It worked great until I took it to their house and started installing their new USB2 card and printer. The system started hanging. Tried to reboot and it would not go past the MUP.SYS file. I googled this and found as many answers as people having this problem. I did the normal troubleshooting (removing pieces a bit at a time, etc.). I noticed that many of the fixes on google had to do with the system BIOS. I Unplugged the computer and removed the BIOS battery for 45 seconds. Replaced the battery. Accepted the default BIOS settings and everything is working fine now. I don't know if this will help anyone else but just wanted to put it out there. Thanks for your time and all of the great help that I have received here.

Shared Fax SQL ISA with a separate DNS namespace etc.. My view was to purchase the migration pack for each affected site and the required number or cals then perfrom the migration, and split off the required services, adding hardware I would then look to upgrading to Windows 2003 move to a new single AD domain and maintain central and site based services while performing hosting and routing for the old domains Anyone know if this is an allowed upgrade path TIA Rgds Steve_S Tag: Vanishing Emails using pop3 connecter Tag: 171059

    - event ID 1002, 9004, 1005 I am having trouble getting my exchange to start up. The last thing I rember doing prior to it not working was a windows update. These 3 errors come up every time the server is started and no one can send or receive email. From researching the error, I have removed and reinstalled both IIS and Exchange. During the exchange reinstall an error came up saying to consult Q266418 at support.microsoft.com. From this I have concluded that one of the update put Outlook Express on my server. I cannot find a way to remove or unistall. It does not show up under the programs add/remove from the control panel. Here are the errors from my event log: Metabase Update agent failed to start. Error code is 80040a01. For more information, click http://www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp. All 3 events show this same error. Can anyone help me resolve this?

    - Need faster connection Hello all and thanks for all of the good advise that has been dispensed before. I would like some advice from some gurus that have dealt with this more than me. I have VPN set up and can connect great but many things do not work well more than likely due to slow upload through my ADSL connection. What would be a good upgrade in connection to make VPN work better. The users would like to access files on their server based folders, they time out opening Excel docs now. I have an SBS2003 2 nic set up with approx 30 users. I have 6 users that are now working remotely. So what would be a good way to go? T1, ISDN, mental telepathy? Thanks in advance.

Hi

Just a remark using POP3 connector with SBS 2003. There seem
to be an issue with vanishing emails:

- You have set up POP3 connector using individual mailbox accounts
- No messages are delivered to the Exchange mail boxes, but
all messages were downloaded from ISP POP3 accounts.

Email will vanish if the delivery-to address of the email is
not found in the Exchange mail addresses. We had setup an ISP
mailbox wwwinfo@xxx.yyy, but not entered that address into any
exchange account. No messages were delivered to ANY user account.
After we have setup a distribution group, everything was fine
again.

I hope this solves some of the users trouble.
