    - Exchange doesn't distribute email after DOS attack SBS2000 Over the weekend my customer told me that they could not collect email, (using POP3). The server was also running low on drive C drive space so I assumed it was an issue with that. However visiting them yesterday & checking with their ISP (Demon) it seems that they had a email DOS attack. Demon support said that there were over 25,000 emails waiting to download & pointed out that we would never download that many emails by 56k modem. Demon then deleted all the DOS emails which were addressed to the postmaster. The postmaster account is not allocated to a user on the Exchange server, so I assume that it would just bounce them after processing the mail download. What appears to have been happening is that the POP3 collector would attempt to download the emails & each time, after several hours (or days) the POP3 collection would fail. As it was POP mail, all the mail would remain on Demon's mailservers & also Exchange would not process any of the mails that it had already downloaded as a complete POP collection had not occurred. This seems to have made exchange store some sort of temp download file on the Exchange drive & had eaten all the disk space. How do I free up the disk space caused by this? I cannot find any obvious place for this file. After Demon deleted the DOS emails, we ran a successful POP3 download which I was able to check using Demon's webmail facility (the mailbox had emails before I synch'd the email & afterwards it was empty). However although Exchange server has downloaded the new emails, it has not processed them & delivered to the clients. Could this be a problem with some huge temp file sitting somewhere?

    - UPgrading from SBS V4 to SBS2003 Presently we use the IP address range on our SBS V4 of 89.2.2.--- this is because we also have a Unix server on the network which uses this address range. Will SBS2003 accept 89.2.2.2 as its IP address rather than the dafault? If not is there a solution other than changing the IP address of the Unix server. Also is it possible to do a migration upgrade from V4 to 2003? Thanks Geoff Tag: Which distribution group scope should I use Tag: 157041

    - OfficeScan server not updating pattern files? Hello We had a problem recently when part of the OfficeScan software was deleted by mistake! I re-installed the software but it looks as if there is a config error as the server is not updating the pattern files. I have hourly schedule for this and the proxy server info is there. I think I'm correct in having port 8080 for this? Is there any way in which I can test that the proxy settings are OK? Apart from the fact that they appear to be wrong as the updating is not happening! Cheers Geoff Tag: Which distribution group scope should I use Tag: 156995

    - Terminal Services Client We have recently installed a new Server Running SBS 2000 and started using Terminal Services (from a Windows 2000 machine) and Remote Desktop (from 2 XP Pro Machines). It was working fine, until approximatetly the ending of the 90 day trial period. I have activated the Server's Terminal Server Licence and was told we need to buy the CAL's - which have been installed. I am able to get to the Network by VPN - but both TS and RD come up 'Busy' (originally it came up 'Timed out', restarted the Server and now it only comes up with Busy!). After re-speaking to Microsoft, they have confirmed we don't actually need the CAL licences (but thats a side issue) - any idea whats gone wrong, as, as far as I can tell, the only 'thing' that has occured is the expiring the the trial period (Server in question is a Dual Xeon 2.4, with 2Gb, which never goes above 710Mg in use and about 5% processor usage, so it isn't busy*) Thanks Paul * - While writing this message, Server has a 1Gb card - but is running though a 10/100 Switch, so a bottleneck could be occuring there....but it was working fine beforehand (so unlikely!).

    - SMTP Queue Keeps filling up Hi, Ive got a SBS2k Server with all the service packs on it, I have a problem with our SMTP server.

I'm constantly having to clean this queue throughout the day. Does anyone know of this as none of these e-mail are being sent out from the company.

    - SMTPVS queue wont delete mail I have spent all day working on this and have so far got nowhere! The problem is that a user sent a 2.6MB file to over 260 recipients. The Exchange server seems to have freaked out because I dont believe a single one has been delivered and the failed emails are sending NDR's to the sender over and over again. The expiration timeout period of the Default SMTP Virtual Server is set to 4 hours. This email was sent about 30 hours ago and is still sending NDR's. I have attempted to delete the mail from the queue. If a queue lists 1 or more mail items for that domain, selecting freeze or delete turns it to 0. Most queued items are already set at 0. I have deleted the items in the \VS 1\queue folder but the items regenerate again! I have set all timeout periods to 1 minute and after 1 minute the items in the VS 1\Queue folder are removed but are still listed in the SMTPVS and still runs the Internet connection flat out and sends NDR's. A reboot will regenerate the VS 1\Queue folder just as it had originally, and again will slowly delete all items again. This has got me stumped. It seems nothing will remove the items from the queue, and the server is still tryint to send tomething even though it has expired and is not listed in the VS 1\Queue folder. Any help at all greatly appreciated. Tippy. Tag: Which distribution group scope should I use Tag: 156962

    - Imminent upgrade to SBS2003 & new hardware Hello people, We are moving to a new building, and I thought I would take the opportunity to upgrade from SBS2000 to 2003. The boss has also volunteered to buy us a new machine for the server. I think it is going to be a similar spec, but with IDE instead of SCSI drives (more space, possibly not as fast). I am looking for some advice about how best to set-up and configure the new network, and how best to make use of the old server. I already have a copy of SBS 2003 which came with this year's Action Pack subscription (I have two copies of SBS 2000, one which we bought with the original server, and one from last year's Action Pack). However, I believe it is not possible to have two SBS machines connected on the same network. Is this correct? Obviously it would be useful to have both machines connected together to transfer data across (although I do have a couple of removable USB drives that I could use for this if necessary). Currently I have an old 486 machine that I am using as a web server (running Apache on Win98 with Web Forwarding from the SBS machine). This is very slow, but does the job (our main website is hosted externally at the ISP). My thought is to throw this away and perhaps use the old server for this instead. When I originallay set this up I was advised by people in this group that having a web server sitting in the SBS network was not a good idea from a security point of view, and instead I should have set it up in it's own 'DMZ'. I decided to take the risk and don't seem to have had any problems. Would the same considerations apply with SBS 2003? If I decide to use the old SBS box for the web server, it would seem a bit of a waste to have it sitting there just doing this one job. I would prefer to have it on the network and available for other things, possibly hosting a database. Might it be a good idea to have exchange running on this machine instead of the new server? Anyway, this will hopefully all be happening in a couple of weeks time (as soon as the boss signs the lease on the new building). This will only be my second SBS installation, and my first attempt at copying stuff across from one to another so any advance warning of any likely problems would be greatly appreciated. Are there any patches I should download in advance? Thanks, Phil. Tag: Which distribution group scope should I use Tag: 156958

    - Exchange licenses exceeding users I noticed a disturbing thing yesterday, When looking at my exchange 2003 server I noticed it was throwing up warnings about license usage exceeding license limits. I am using per server licenses and when I go into licensing uder admin tools I actually have 12 more CALS being used than I have users. And my current users are randomly being kicked off of the server. I then looked uder the exchange system manager and I have the correct number of mailboxes for the users, though I have 3 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM mailboxes (SMTP, System Attendant and SystemMailbox) that I assume are some default creations. But taking these into account I still have more CALS out than mailboxes. Can anyone give me some idea as to what may or may not be going on?

    - reaching the 50 user barrier on SBS 2000 We currently are running SBS 2000. Ourt business has grown substantially over the past year and we are approaching the 50 user limit on SBS. Because of this, we are looking at upgrading to SBS 2003 (75 users) OR full blown win 2003 server with Exchagne SQL server ISA etc... (very very pricy!!!) This morning as a test, I added 10 more 'test' users - which would put us beyond the 50 user limit just to see what would happen. I created Exchange mailboxes for each. I expected SBS to prevent me from adding the 51st user, but was pleasantly surprised when this was not the case. Where is the limit? Does it prevent 51 concurrent users only - meaning I could have 100 users in the AD but as long as only 50 are logged on at once I'm ok? If this is the case, then we are ok because we will not have all 50 users on at once. Please let me know where the SBS limitations are. Maybe we do not have to upgrade to 2003 SBS just yet...

Unfortunately they forgot to tell their customers this! We need to therefore change the name.

    - Obscure license issue question I have a question that I hope someone might be able to help me with. A customer of mine has an SBS machine in his head office. This machine connects to the internet via a broadband router, and participates in SQL server replication from other machines that are installed in the customers other offices around the country. In a downstairs office of the same building, the customer runs another business. He wants to install another SBS machine, which will then replicate SQL server data out to another location, again via the Internet. My question is: can we do this using the same broadband router that the 'upstairs' machine uses? This would require that the two SBS machines are on the same IP network, but they would be configured to have different domains. In actual fact, once the data has been replicated out to another system via the internet, that system in turn will replicate back into the upstairs system. This is because data is collated in groups of offices, and each group is then passed back to the head office system, 'upstairs' in this scenario. My headache is whether I would be breaking the SBS licensing rules by having these machines physically connected. It appears that I can assign two different addresses to the LAN side of the broadband router, so I could have the two on separate IP networks (as long as we can figure out SQL replication using non-standard port numbers) but would this be enough to satisfy licensing? The last option is a second broadband connection and another router, but the customer is keen to avoid the running cost of another line. Your thoughts would be most appreciated. Mike.

    - Why is my ISA SMTP filter not working? Hi , I am running SBS 2000 for my business. I have 10 users and use all the SBS2000 components except SQL (not installed). We use Exchange as SMTP e-mail server (no POP connector). I set up a number of SMTP filters to delete messages that contain the typical executables, exe, com, pif, scr etc. I was uncomfortable with the number of worms that were getting through as far as my anti-virus software (Trend). However, in spite of the filter I am still getting notification from Trend of e-mails that contain message.scr and message.pif with a virus (Netsky). I thought that the filter would be deleting these messages before they got to the anti-virus. I tried adding message.scr to the filters in addition to *.scr but these are still getting through.

    - SBS 2000 Shared Fax and XP Hi all, I have a client running a SBS2000 network. All the clients are W2K Pro except for one which is WXP Pro. The XP Pro machine does not display all the Inbox faxes and the Sent Item faxes for the user. All other users on the W2K Pro PC's can see all the faxes that have been received and sent. The user on the XP Pro machine only sees the faxes she has sent and nothing else. Am I missing something in the configuration of the shared fax of the XP machine? I installed the fax service in the XP Pro from the XP CD and not from the SBS2000 server. TR Tag: Which distribution group scope should I use Tag: 156818

    - Outlook Contacts folder not in lookup The contacts folder does not show in Outlook as a lookup folder for a new email. Did right click contacts and it is checked as Generate Exch View. The Outlook Address Book tab has a greyed out checkbox for "show this folder as an outlook address book" SBS2000 Thanks Bruce B Tag: Which distribution group scope should I use Tag: 156812

    - Fax problem Hi One of the win xp pro clients has this problem that when fax is sent using shared fax then sometimes the address book does not appear. Clicking on address book button does not do anything. Also when faxing from within word it crashes word. Is there something I can do to fix this? The pc has office 2003 basic on it.

    - Duplicate computer name On a client's network I get a "duplicate computer name" error in system event log when running windows update on an XP workstation. The update wont run but just hangs the PC. Eventually the logon prompt comes up and the pc must be logged in again. I cannot see any duplicate names and cannot work out from the error data what the offending IP address is. Has anyone any ideas how to diagnose this prob? Along with this is a Windows 98 workstation that cannot get internet access unless the server is already dialled up. If the dial up connection is disconnected then the browser reports server cannot be found. As soon as the dial up is activated then the PC connects to the internet. Other PC's work fine. Any ideas? Is the problem related? Tag: Which distribution group scope should I use Tag: 156799

    - 2nd network card - removal I am using SBS 2000 and will migrate to 2003 shortly. I want to remove the 2nd network card as I don't use it as I rely on a hardware firewall. Should I do this before the upgrade or afterwards? Simon Tag: Which distribution group scope should I use Tag: 156795

Having read a fair bit on distribution groups, I am still
no wiser as to what scope to apply to my distribution
groups in SBS 2000, which by definition is a single domain
environment. (My suspicion is that it doesn't matter).

Any suggestions would be most welcome

My 2 cents:
I agree with your suspicion that it doesn't matter...
