    - Log on via VPN Hello, I am trying to figure a way for users at a remote site to log onto a domain via a vpn that goes through a dsl connection to a SBS 2000 server. The remote pc's are obviously not joined to the domain right now, and a user will sit down and click the vpn shortcut after they have logged on locally. I would like them to be able to sit down and log into the domain automatically. I hope this makes sense. I know that you can use a dial-up to connect to a remote network and log into the domain, but I have never set anything up that would use a vpn connection to log in. The reason behind all of this is to be able to monitor things like internet access (or block it altogether), and keep them from being able to tweak the local pc. Any ideas? Thanks!

    - Help! - swamped by spam (w/ viruses) Just within last day or two I've been bombarded with virus laden spam all related to MS Security Updates/Notices/Bulletins etc. I'm averaging about 10 to 15 an hour! To make things worse my virus program (Panda AV) flashes alert notices everytime one comes in, which I have to manually close. I haven't figure out how to disable this yet. I thought about trying to set up some filters in Exchange but just about every email address is different! Any suggestions (short of disabling email). This is the worst it's ever been! Thanks for any help/advice. -Pat Tag: What is the best location for Exchange & SQL data folders Tag: 131103

    - Slow starting SBS, no exchange Recently built SBS2000 (sp3) P4 (2,4) 1024 MB ram 120 GB (2x RAID1) on Promise 4000 (PCI) SIS network adapter (on mainboard) for EXT (router) 3com network adapter (PCI) for LAN int. UPS Onstream IDE (on sec IDE) tape backup Pioneer DVD/CD player Video on mainboard. External USB modem for sending fax. NO other software than SBS and Mcafee Groupshield.

    - An alternative POP3 connector, anyone???.. Hi all, I've got SBS 2000 at several sites, and at every site, the POP3 connector that comes with Exchange doesn't work. Every time the connector goes to d/l mail, it stops. I've set the recovery to recover constantly, which keeps it up most of the time, but mail seems to be going missing, which I assume is from the srevice shutting down while mail is half dealt with. I've got around this problem at a few sites by using CHimera's EFS (A fantastic little program), but this only works for global POP3 accounts, and this client, has individual accounts (and this can't be changed, for various reasons). Can anyone suggest (freeware or not) a POP3 connector which I can use for individual POP mail boxes, which I can then use to pass the mail to Exchange? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Windows NT 4.0 user profile migration to SBS 2000 I bought a new server with SBS 2000. I have the new system all set up, but I don't know how to migrate users from my Windows NT 4.0 server (different domain) to the new server. SBS 2000 won't let me set up a trust. When I create new users in SBS 2000, I lose all of their profile information from Windows NT 4.0. I'd rather not lose all my groups and user data! After migrating I'd like to use the old server as a BDC. Tag: What is the best location for Exchange & SQL data folders Tag: 131063

    - Deleting badmail We have a SBS server and it has started to play up. Back ups have started to fail and the CPU and the memory are being flagged in the Event Viewer. I have noticed A LOT of files in the Badmail folder and have found that I should periodically delete these but the system wont allow me to do it. I cant open the badmail folder and can only access the files by doing a SEARCH for *.bdp. When I try to delete then I can only do less than 30 at a time and sometimes I get "Cannot read from disc" errors. I have tried using scripts but they dont work either. I am open to ideas!

    - Exchange Questions Q1. Can anyone suggest a good way of being able to get all incoming and outgoing mail into a mailbox as well as the individual users mailbox, I know this is not a good idea but necessary. Q2. Also as by default Exchange sets up a distribution group and to my surprise it also assigns it an Internet address, is a simple matter of removing the SMTP mail address from this group to disable this feature? Q3. Is there any way to monitor (or count) the number of emails coming and going over a period of time or is enabling logging the only way? Thanks for any help.

    - An ISA question.. re: dialup application I have posted this question in one of the ISA groups and so far no response, so I thought I would hit the trusty SBS group for a possible answer. Scenario: Customer uses SBS with an ADSL connection for internet access. Client machines behind SBS with ISA enabled uses a dialup application to connect directly to a non-internet connected service which uses TCP/IP and port 443 for connection. Problem: What is happening is that the modem dials, connects and then tries to communicate to remote port 443. Of course the firewall client then busily tries to route the traffic out through ISA and onto the net. Because the IP address range is not internet connected, the request times out and the modem connections fail. Of course by disabling the FW client it will get through but this is not practicle. (More so if it is NT4 SBS that use Microsoft Proxy.) What I need to know is if there is any way to set ISA to ignore/not route the traffic for the modem on the workstation when it is trying to establish a connection to this particular service.

    - Public Folders contacts I have another newbie public folders question. I would like authorized users to be able to add global contacts to a public folder. I logon to a client PC as administrator and open the address book. When I try to add a new contact to the public folders I receive a message stating "You cannot create entries for this address book". So I look in AD and by default there is an "Internet Newsgroups" public folder already installed. First of all I cannot see this folder from Outlook. Second, Under the client permissions option for this folder the "Folder Contact" option is grayed out. So even if I could see the folder I assume I would not be able to add a contact. You get the picture... So what am I doing wrong? All I want to do is provide my users with a public folder to store their global contacts. Be able to see this folder in Outlook and provide security to specific users to maintain the folder. Seems simple enough.... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    - Question about KB Article 292822 and DNS Well as far as I can see we are still having to use the registry edits even on SP1 integrated versions of SBS 2000. I'm not too thrilled about still having to do these edits by hand but hey, at least it works. My question is regarding this section: 1.e "you need to create two A records in DNS: one in the root of the domain for the domain name (for example, a blank host record in your company.local zone), and an A record for your Global Catalog (for example, your SBS server) in gc._msdcs.domain name.com." What is correct for the A Record in the gc section: Should the A record be the host name "myserver" and IP address of the SBS2K box or should it be (same as parent folder) and the IP of the server, i.e.: myserver A 192.168.12.1 or (same as parent folder) A 192.168.0.1 Thanks, Aydin Tag: What is the best location for Exchange & SQL data folders Tag: 130993

    - Reject spam using Reverse Lookup Recently I have noticed a lot of ISPs using reverse dns lookups to block spammers. I know I can perform a reverse lookup in exchange manager. But doesn't this just identify if it resolved correctly or not? How do I set up my exchange server to REJECT emails that don't resolve correctly. I know there may be some legitimate email that could be affected but it looks like it would block a ton of spam from actually getting to my server. I already block domains using exchange manager and the rest with GFI MailEssentials. They both work great. However, I would prefer to reject the emails that don't resolve, too.

    - SMTP Virtual Server problems Hi All, This is my first post to this group. I have had a SBS 2000 installation running for a few months now, but every now and again (maybe 4-5 times a week) the outbound messages seem to get stuck in the "destination unreachable queue". Once one message gets stuck in there everything else seems to pile up behind it. All SMTP mail is forwarded to our ISP via smart host setting (also tried with ISP's ip address instead of FQDN). The other error I get in the event log is event 4003 the domain "whateveritis.com" is currently unreachable" . This relates to the domain that I was trying to get an email message to in the first place and doesn't seem to matter what the email address is. I can send a mail to an email address one day, and maybe an hour later if I send to the same address that succeeded before it goes straight to the destination unreachable queue and locks up all other messages until I restart the smtp service. If I restart the SMTP service all messages are delivered. I found this article on the KB 289808 but my question is this. Have many of you SBS Admins out there had to do this disabling 8 bit MIME? It seems quite complex and I am just wondering if anybody else has had to do it. Any other ideas would be gratefully accepted? thx in advance Andrew Tag: What is the best location for Exchange & SQL data folders Tag: 130904

There is a feature in PS that allows users to transfer a past clients personal data info from say year 2002 into the new year 2003 for new tax season. The problem is it only works when the users have Domain Admin rights. Intuit says a couple things. First they say, this feature should only be done by an admin. Then they say, permissions on the server or the workstations must be wrong. The Workstations are Win XPP, with local admin rights and Domain User rights. ProSeries was installed into the Company folder which has full share and security permissions/rights to everyone. I have checked & rechecked and can't find what's wrong. I think it is ProSeries. Anyone dealt with ProSeries before? I have installed to different shared folder but same thing. I have upped the users to Power User status still broke. Only Domain Admin works and that won't happen.

    - Cannot run Add/Remove Programs on SBS 2000 I have SBS with SP1 for SBS and SP3 for 2000 installed. During installing some MicroSoft patches the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel quit working. I just finished installing SP4 hoping that would fix the problem. It did not. I found Microsoft Article 323496 referencing this problem. It cuts off at SP2 and really doesn't offer a fix. How can I fix this problem? I can run anything else out of Control Panel, but if I click on Add/Remove Programs nothing happens. The same for if I run the executable referenced in 323496. Any Ideas?

    - Slow logon We are experiencing problems logging on to SBS2000. After resetting DHCP settings to adjust the DNS server (router) like we've done in the past, we now have problems logging on. It used to take 5-7 seconds, now it takes up to 18 minutes to log on to SBS2000. I am now getting errors in the event viewer like: ..DNS server unable to interpret format ..DNS server unable to load resource record (RR) from the directory at [ip address] David Franklin Tag: What is the best location for Exchange & SQL data folders Tag: 130876

    - Setting up VPN and Internet Access - newbie I've only just loaded our SBS and we're trying to configure it for: 1) LAN internet access 2) VPN access 3) multiple inbound static IPs via Cisco Router We connect via a Cisco 801 to the net. The SBS is dual-homed, internal NIC on 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 and external NIC on 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 I have used the wizards to set up VPN and net access but they seem to configure one or the other: either VPN or Net access. I can't seem to get both. Trying to connect via VPN gives me a "no certificate" message from a W2K Pro client. Any and all help appreciated, or point me to a link that will explain everything!! :-)) I used to run 4.5 in the same configuration but I don't understand the routing and remote access server. We had this running perfectly under 4.5 but 2000 is a bit more of a handful. SC Tag: What is the best location for Exchange & SQL data folders Tag: 130869

    - New SBS Install Problems Hi I have recently set up two new SBS 2000 servers on identical hardware and am getting strange results:- Both servers are Fujitsu RX300 servers c/w 2.6 GHZ Xeons, and 1gb RAM and 36Gb RAID 1 HD. The servvers also have dual 1gb Broadcom ethernet cards built in. On server 1 and 2 when restarting I get an error stating that there is a duplicate name on the network and to use nbtstat -n. On server 2 when i try to run the SBSconsole config for internet it tells me that one of the lan cards is disabled, to renable then run the wizard again. neither card is disabled and i can ping the i/p's of both cards. Both machines are not on the network at the same time and they are set up as follows.: Server1 Machine name: Main Domain :Opera Card 1 Details:- IP 10.0.0.5 sub 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.1 DNS 10.0.0.5 Card 2 Details IP 10.0.0.6 sub 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.1 DNS 10.0.0.5 Server2 Machine name: HYDRASBS01 Domain :hydraclean Card 1 Details:- IP 10.0.0.2 sub 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.1 DNS 10.0.0.2 Card 2 Details IP 10.0.0.3 sub 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.1 DNS 10.0.0.2 Any one any ideas?

I know SBS will set up Exchange & SQL in default data folders. Having the
choice, what is the best location - on the same drive as OS (C;) or on a
separate drive/directory?

Partitions...
System
Exchange/SQL databases (If SQL db is large then a parition by itself may be
warranted)
User Folders
