    - shared fax service stops On my 2000 SBS server the shared fax service intermitently stops. I can turn it back on and it will turn back off in a couple of minutes. All of the other services that it depends on are working. Some times it runs all day without a problem and then the next thing I know it doesn't. It worked fine for about a year or two and just recently started this. Can someone help me with this. Someone said they had the answer posted at microsft.public.backoffice.smallbiz but I can't find it. Thanks, Mike Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167420

    - shared fax service stopping On my 2000 SBS with all updates applied the shared fax service has been stopping. You can manually turn it on and then it will turn back off in a few minutes. To make it harder to fix it happens intermitently. I know this has been posted before and I saw where one guy says to go to microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz for the answer but I can't find that. Can someone tell how to fix this please? Thanks, Mike Markos Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167418

    - problem with CHKDSK on SBS2000 Hello. Looking or a little help... My customer is running SBS2000. Everything HAD been running fine with the server for a long time (3+ years). There server has a five SCSI hard disk drives in a hardware RAID 5 (4 drives int he RAID array, plus a hot spare). Today, they started having problems with their database program - which uses SQL Server. Rebooting the server fixed the problem for a little while, but then the problem returned again. While troubleshooting the SQL problem with the Tech Support staff of that software vendor, they noticed a single a single instance of the following error in the event log: ========================================== Event Type: Error Event Source: Ntfs Event Category: Disk Event ID: 55 Date: 11/7/2004 Time: 4:19:59 AM User: N/A Computer: NTSERVER1 Description: The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:. Data: 0000: 00 00 00 00 02 00 4e 00 ......N. 0008: 02 00 00 00 37 00 04 c0 ....7..À 0010: 00 00 00 00 32 00 00 c0 ....2..À 0018: 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ ========================================== We ran CHKDSK (with /F parameter). It got to 43% complete on stage 4 of 5, and just hung there. We waited for more than 2 hours. The hard disk drives continued to thrash like crazy, but no change in the percent complete. We called Microsoft Support, and opened case number SRX041108607622. We waited another 1-2 hours, but there was still no change in percent complete. After 3+ hours of waiting, the MS Support Engineer had us reboot the server. The server booted okay into Windows. (Thank God!). We then rebooted the SBS2000 server using the recovery console, and ran CHKDSK from the recovery console. It went smoothly to 60% complete, and then just hung (no "stages" shown when running the CHKDSK from the recovery console.) After waiting 15+ minutes and there being no change in percent complete, the MS Support Engineer had us reboot the server. The server booted okay into Windows. We confirmed that no errors are shown in the RAID software - all of the drives are online and healthy,with zero errors reported. We are going to wait until the staff starts working again in the morning, to see if SQL Server runs okay,or if the errors start again. We are pretty sure that the Tech Support staff for the database program is going to wash there hands of helping until we can get CHKDSK to complete. The MS Support Engineer was telling us the next step would be to format the c-partition, reinstall Windows and restore from a prior tape backup ( we have Veritas Backup Exec running). Before we did that, I thought I would check with the Newsgroup and see if anyone had any ideas for how to get CHKDSK to complete. Any ideas/suggestions? Thanks. Lloyd Wolf Wolf Consulting, Inc.

    - Restoring Exchange We have a SBS box that we are shifting to a new box. We haven't used the migration wizard as we will be using the same domain. We have setup up the new box and entered all the users in. We want to transfer Exchange from the old on to the new one. What is the best way to do it? We were going to use Exmerge but the process was going to take too long. We have tried restoring the information store to the new box (everything is setup identical between the two boxes), but cannot reconnect the mailboxes (we get a C1038af7 error which we looked on Technet but it didn't resolve it). How would you do this restoration process? We want a process that takes minimal time and works fine! Matt Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167393

    - Problems with POP3 Virtual server Hi Everyone Sometime ago I posted the following problem ---------------------------------------------------------- I seem to be having a problem getting my pop virtual server going. Our current configuration is SBS2003 static ip address, exchange server working great. I have run CEICW wizard several times to get my pop virtual server going, the reason we want that is for our website other issue where we need to use the our mail domain. If I run the wizard all seems to be ok, however when I go into Routing and remote and have a look at the External network properties for NAT, under services and ports the POP3 check box is unchecked, if I check it and hit ok and go back into see if it is checked it is unchecked again. I also notice in the Event Log under Services the following error Event Type: Error Event Source: ipnathlp Event Category: None Event ID: 32003 Date: 20/10/2004 Time: 9:58:40 AM User: N/A Computer: SERVER Description: The Network Address Translator (NAT) was unable to request an operation of the kernel-mode translation module.

    - Constant DCOM 10004 Errors in Event Log (Not IWAM!) Hi, oh my god I hope someone can help! Here is the error message: DCOM got error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password. " and was unable to logon XXX\Administrator in order to run the server: {888FC943-CB7D-43E7-BB64-905342B0D34D} The GUID does NOT show up in regedit, regedt32, or general text searches of the ENTIRE server, with or without dashes. This message began after I changed the admin password on the server. It isn't any third party software, that's been checked. Does anyone have ANY ideas??? I'm totally spent on this, and they just keep coming, filling up the event log files, one every few minutes or so! Thank you, Rick Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167384

    - Exchange Admin Tools I am implementing an Email solution that will allow receiving emails on cell phones sync with Exchange. I am using SBS 2000 and I am required to install just Exchange Admin tools on a SEPARATE server along with the software provided by the phone company. Since Exchange came bundled up in the SBS 2000 discs, does anybody have any idea how to go about extracting just the "Exchange Admin Tools" of one of those discs(If it is actually there?

    - STORE.EXE using all CPU I have a server running SBS2000 and some PCs running Windows 2000/XP and Outlook 2000. Several times recently I have experienced a problem with Exchange Server where if I send an email the message arrives in my Outbox but does not go and STORE.EXE uses a lot of CPU. I had exactly the same problem with another users a few weeks ago and resolved the problem by exporting the data using EXMERGE, deleting the mailbox, creating a new mailbox and importing the data again. I have tried it with my mailbox and it resolves the problem for a while but it comes back again. Can anybody suggest why this happens and how I can resolve this?

    - User accounts being deleted Hi all, hope you can help with this problem. We have a SBS2K sever with 40 client workstations attached. The clients are a mixture of win2k and XP. A few weeks back I noticed that users accounts on their workstations had been removed, meaning anything that required admin rights on their PC was denied to them. I reset these by logging onto each system as a local administrator and added the domain users and domain administrators account to each one, but over a period of a couple of days these accounts have been deleted with the exception of one windows XP machine. I have repeated this exercise several times, and each time the accounts disapeared, sometimes in minutes, somtimes taking a couple of days. It is not possible that someone is manualy removing these as I have witnessed this happening when no one else has access to the network. I have checked for viruses, spyware, and any unusual registry entries on server and clients. There is also nothing set in group policies. Any help would be much appreciated, this is driving me mad. Regards...... Andy Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167356

    - XP and SP2 After installing SP2 on workstations running XP or new computers running XP that come with SP2 already installed, hereâ??s the problem. I can ping the server from the workstation but I canâ??t ping the workstation from the server. Any ideas? I had a similar problem where I couldnâ??t install Norton Anti-virus from the server to the workstation, it wouldnâ??t connect to the workstation and gave me the following error, â??cannot access admin$, contact system administratorâ??. Turned out I turned off the firewall settings in the local area connection settings on the workstation and it worked. I turned off the same settings in this case thinking it may help and still canâ??t ping the workstation. Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167354

Remember -everyone's- issue is important to them, so que jumping won't enhance anyone's opinion of you within the newsgroup. Mentioning the SBS component, Exchange, ISA, SQL Server, RAS, Pop Connector etc.in the heading will be a big help in catching the eye of experts in that field. =================================================== - If posting a Question, post with sufficient information for a complete stranger to understand your SBS version, environment; your issue, what you have tried and what failed. You're not cutting down on the typing as you'll be asked anyway, and it can only enhance the speed to diagnosis and resolution. A secondary benefit to this is that in correctly framing the question, the resolution often presents itself. Note: Stating your SBS version ( 4, 4.5, 2000, 2003 ) is particularly important as is whether your SBS 2003 is Standard or Premium and whether you have ISA installed.

    - Wireless Laptops and DHCP To the newsgroup: Currently, a client has 5 laptops on an 802.11g network. We've noticed slight delays at times when passing off from one WAP to another in the building and the issue appears to be that a new IP address is requested from the server and there is a DHCP error. At first, the DHCP server (the Small Business Server 2000) does not give out an IP address but then the server does. And you notice the lag time. To test, I've manually set the IP addresses on 3 laptops, still connecting wirelessly and the delays disappear, and this makes sense, less DHCP errors. The DNS server is still 192.168.16.2, my IP forwarders are correct on the server. I am going to set the DHCP server on to Auto again so the client can go to their hotspots. Is there a way to reduce this delay on either the client or server? Here is the typical error: Your computer was not able to renew its address from the network (from the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address xxxxxxxxxxxxx. The following error occurred: The operation was canceled by the user. . Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server. Your tips would be appreciated. Smith Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167316

    - moving shared folders in preparation for upgrade Can anyone tell me how to move a shared folder on my SBS computer to a new drive which will allow users to continue to access the contents after the move. Will the permissions stay the same if I simply move the folder using Explorer? Several users have locally mapped drives to these folders, will these continue to work or must they be recreated on each users computer. I searched the SBS help and can't find any reference to moving shared folders. Thanks in advance. Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167315

    - (newbie) replacing a client workstation I've been managing a small SBS2000 network for the past two years but so far have not had to make any configuration changes until now (someone else set it up originally). I want to replace an older workstation (one with Windows 98SE) with a newer XP Pro machine. I installed XP Pro on the new machine (it got a HD upgrade) and gave it the same name as the one it's to replace. I also set up some local user accounts (which I'm not sure was necessary). I'm not sure what to do next though, and so far I have not tried connecting it the network. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Pat Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167305

    - Password Change Problem I have a SBS2000 network with XP Pro clients. Been running fine with not problems for many months. Now, when a user changes their domain password, the machine seems to continue to login to the domain OK but the user can't access any network services (Outlook, Web via ISA server) without getting prompted by these services for username and password. For example, when opening Outlook, she gets a login prompt with her SBS2000 username and domain filled in, she fills in the new password she just changed to, and Outlook opens. Same thing with ISA server. Hit IE, get prompted for a login, put in new password, goes through OK. Seems like the client may still be trying to submit the old password as part of the initial authentication. I need help! Gary Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167304

    - ton of undeliverable emails Hi, Every day there are a few hundred undeliverable emails in the adminstrator inbox for users who do not exist in our domain. I have always figured these were just failed attempts by spammers fishing for valid email addresses. For example, we'll have emails to mark@ourdomain.com joe@ourdomain.com horsby@ourdomain.com Some of the names are pretty crazy. Anyway, these email addresses don't exist so they go to the admin box as undeliverable. Should I be concerned or is it just really failed attempts by spammers. Do other have this problem?

    - Cannot send console messages to SP2 XP PCs SP2 update changed something in regards to the pc receiving a console message. After upgrading some XP Pro PCs to SP2, these pcs cannot receive console messages anymore from a Small Business Server 2000. The firewall is OFF on the XP SP2 PCs. The only changes to these PCs have been the SP2 upgrade and subsequent patches from Windows Update. The Alerter and Messenger services are Automatic and are On on the SP2 PCs. The message from the server is "Not all recipients received the message. This could be due to an invalid computer name, or because the recipient computer is unavailable. Check each recipient computer name and then re-send." What am I missing? SP1 PCS are still receiving console messages. Thanks in advance to this question, it is probably a very basic answer that we are not seeing. Smith Tag: WAPS and SBS Tag: 167270

    - Workstation User requires SBS credentials to access Internet? My regrets if this has been covered recently...tough topic to search on. We have a SBS 2k acting as our file and email server as well as the PDC on the LAN. We haven't (intentially) implemented ISA or any other web server stuff on the thing. It is not pointed to as a gateway by the workstations...it just sits there behind the router/firewall like all the workstations (which point at the Router IP as the gateway). Of course, server console access to the Internet works fine. Question is: Why should a workstation local User who doesn't have a Domain account (the WS does, but not the User) who is logged in to the WS (not the domain) have to present domain credentials to use IE to access websites on the Internet (WS is XP pro, SP1)?

We are currently having problems with our ADSL connection, the router connected to the external NIC has an intermittent fault. When the internet connection is not working users are experiencing long delays in being able to log on to the network from their workstations and opening Outlook. I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be happening! I have re-run the ICW and the internal network is defintely bound to the internal NIC. What other steps can I take to troubleshoot this issue?
