    - Exchange Question The default for the Outlook address book is to "show names by" First, Last. I know how to change this default in Outlook on a per user basis.

    - ATTENTION: LES CONNER Hi! I have to give a public thanks for all of your help over the last couple of weeks--especially Saturday and Sunday. 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. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you! Marcia Tag: WINS Server IP address is wrong Tag: 142358

    - Strange errors in Event Logs These errors are showing up in the event logs and when I go to log off of OWA getting the 500 Server error. I have been to the KB and followed the article on creating the application for the C:\Exchsvr\Bin folder. Errors: W3SVC Event ID 36 The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT'. The error was 'The server process could not be started because the configured identity is incorrect. Check the username and password.

    - 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.

    - exchange & ISP email server customer recently purchased a new domain name and requested that entire website and email services be moved to new domain name. the site is hosted at an ISP and creating the new domain, moving the site and redirecting the old domain name to the "new" site worked very well. The problem is that, internally the customer is running SBS2000/exchange/ISA/DNS/DHCP and all related service on his local DC server. His employees use OUTLOOK 2000 in and Exchange model for email. The users are not receiving email now, and I cannot find where to make adjustments to access the ISP based mail server, mail.newdomain.com. not having email is a BIG problem! as he runs an internet based auto sales company.

    - Static routing through 2 VPN routers Hi, Still trying to figure out how to connect a remote office to a customer's internal network. Please see attached diagram and kindly inform me of what I'm missing: http://www3.sympatico.ca/greggy/post/RemoteOfficeDiagram.GIF or .PDF Main Office SBS 2003, domain NIC 1: internal network, 10.x.x.x. NIC 2: external, Linksys VPN router, 192.168.2.x with external static IP Exchange, SQL and file sharing on the SBS to be accessible from remote office Remote Office 3-4 computers: Win XP Pro, Win 98, etc. Linksys VPN router, 192.168.1.x with external static IP I'm assuming that I need to setup static (or dynamic) routing on the 2 Linksys VPN routers. However, the various configurations I've tried so far do not work. I must be missing something... As a first step I wanted to be able to ping from the remote office to the Main Office Router over the VPN. Even this is not working. Here are the routes that I added: On Remote Workstation: route add 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 On Remote router: Destination LAN IP: 192.168.2.0 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1 Hop Count: 1 Interface: LAN (I'm assuming it must be LAN since it has to go over the VPN connnection) ping from remote workstation to 192.168.2.1 (Main Office Router) fails. Eventually, I'm hoping to have a remote network of 10.64.0.x (255.192.0.0) which will access the local 10.0.0.x server. Please advise Thanks Greg Tag: WINS Server IP address is wrong Tag: 142297

    - Error 425: using IIS I have a FTP site that connects to a directory set up on my server (SBS 2000). I can connect and upload or download files to it using IE locally and from my home. However, some customers can connect to it using a FTP program (Cute), but get an error when uploading files. Here is the error: "425 Cannot open data connection". When I look up the error in the Microsoft KB it says to update the server to the latest SP. The server has all the up-to-date SPs and patches on it. I started having this problem after upgrading to a new server box (just hardware), but all the settings are the same except ISA has packet filtering enabled. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    - ISP DNS problems - can SBS DNS cache dns lookups? As subject my ISP has some ongoing problems with their DNS servers. Problem appears as intermittant access to web sites from clients, even those previously accessed in the same Explorer session. I though that either the client (win2kpro sp4) or SBS2k would have the ip's cached but obviously not. Something else I thought I understood but don't! That implies that every url request is served by the isp's dns? I thought SBS DNS would do that... Have I screwed up somewhere? Is SBS able to cache dns lookups and hold tables for regularly used urls and serve those to the clients? rather tnan having to go to the isp's 'authoritative' dns? thanks Tag: WINS Server IP address is wrong Tag: 142291

    - Move OWA from port 80 Hello, Is there some way to move OWA off of port 80? Here's what I need... Our intranet sites (which are all under the default website in IIS) need to be available without having to log on internally. Currently, since we've opened port 80 for OWA and required authentication, our websites require authentication (as do our Access Db which don't work). Intranet sites should not be available through the web only locally (http://servername/website.html not http://publicIPaddress/websites.html). I am trying to find the correct way to separating out these two areas (websites and OWA) so that our OWA and websites are all secure. Thanks in advance!

    - Remote Desktop Management Hello, SBS2K. I was wondering what the general feeling is out there for the right way to implement remote desktop management. Naturally, I use Terminal Services to control the server via VPN, but in terms of the desktops, what is the best solution. Most of my clients run Win2000 though a few are running XP. I have put into place Remote Desktop Sharing through Net Meeting in the past, but this seems to be kind of quirky. I have also heard of TightVNC but don't know much about it. I also know that in XP, you can remotely share the desktop, but haven't really messed around with it. Here is what I would really like to do: Sometimes, I want to be able to control the user's desktop while they are logged in so that they can watch. An example of when I would use this is if I would show that user how to install a printer or something similar. The other thing I would like to do is be able to log in remotely to do routine maintenance such as defragment the drives. Any ideas on the best solution? Thanks, Chris Tag: WINS Server IP address is wrong Tag: 142269

    - Web page Access Hello, I have a certain web page we cannot access from the internal LAN. We are running SBS 2000 that is configured to use 2 network cards. We also use a Netscreen Firewall. I have placed a network hub between the server's external network card and the Netscreen firewall. Externally. the page is on a Custom port of 8443. We have placed a rule in the firewall just in case. If I attach my notebook to the network hub (far side of SBS server) the page is accessible through the firewall. I have disabled ISA packet filtering on the SBS server, and the page is not working correctly. All we receive is four little return characters on screen. Can anybody shed any light on this subject.

    - 2 ISDN routers and using alternative gateway Hi, I have the following setup: Internal LAN - SBS box: 192.168.16.2 Second NIC: 192.168.2.1 ISDN Router 192.168.2.1 This all works fine - but not having broadband we have a 1:1 contention ratio 128K ISDN connection from 8am-6pm. Overnight this drops to a 5:1 contention ratio - which our ISP gives us a second phone number for. Unfortunately the router does not allow for a backup ISDN number or alternative dialling schedules (a Draytek Vigor - which otherwise I like) or any way of remotely altering the number I was wondering if it was possible to place a second router (192.168.2.3) connected to the Second NIC in the server and add in an additional gateway to this LAN connection. How would tis work - if it failed to get out on one router would it try the other (this is what I would like as the day / night phone numbers will not connect outside their allocated time). Internal LAN - SBS box: 192.168.16.2 Second NIC: 192.168.2.1 ISDN Router -day 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.3 ISDN router - night When using the SBS internet connection wizard it asks for my router IP address - this is set as 192.168.2.1 - would this cause a problem with the second router at night ? Or any other suggestions as to how to achieve this (I can't even find a router which allows for 2 ISDN numbers) Many Thanks James Tag: WINS Server IP address is wrong Tag: 142244

    - Documentation of Sites Last week I posted a question regarding if there was any software to document sites, I had no responses so I assume that there is probably no such software. The types of thing we want to doco is, Internet details and passwords, any special considerations when installing proprietary software, etc etc. So I am curious as to the methods that the good folks here use to document their customers sites. One of the reasons I want to standardise this is so that the customers have adequate information to give to someone else to manage the site should anything happen to myself or any of the staff.

    - calling all web admins I am looking into co-locating a web server for a client and am wondering if anyone has used SBS2000 strictly as a web server? I am contemplating installing a "slim" version of SBS (ie. only ISA, SQL and IIS) as a web server. Mostly, because of three factors: 1. They have an additional SBS2000 license 2. SQL is included 3. Familiarity I have limited experience with hosting this high end of a website and traffic and dont want to make a mistake. Eventually they want to use SQL for customer reports and orders (shopping cart information). Their website is currently in html and they do not forsee changing this particular site to be database driven (except maybe the cart as mentioned). I am thinking if I lock down ISA to allow HTTP/HTTPS and an admin port, combined with patching IIS and the rest of the box and stay on top of it, that it might run pretty smooth. Currently, the website does 40gb/month transfer and has about 6gb of web material (high end graphics mostly, and also stuff that will be thinned out during the conversion) I have been looking into and comparing some of the *nix flavors for hosting websites with MYSQL but have even less experience with these boxes. I use and install OpenBSD but dont have any experiences outside of that OS. If anyone has experience working with high end commerce websites like this I would greatly appreciate any insight as to what you have found.

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?

The 169-IP is an address that couldn't find a DHCP-server. Do you have the
DHCP-client service running on the server? You can disable that.
Your WINS-server should be pointing to your server-IP.
Delete all invalid address from the WINS database (and possibly the
DNS-records) and restart WINS (and DNS).

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.
