    - Restore a user profile We have managed to lose a user profile (desktop settings, roaming profile etc). We can recreate it but, my first question is, can we restore it? We've been making backups of our server for ages. Now, when we need to restore this data we don't know where to find it! My second question is, can anyone tell me where this info is kept on the server? -- - Regards Boris Merryweather Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178783

    - Reinstalling SQL 2000 from SBS 2003 - HELP I am trying to reinstall SQL 2000 on a SBS 2003 Premium system. I do not want to have to reinstall the entire system, just SQL 2000. I was having problems with one of the databases in SQL and thought I would start over with a new intsallation. I know with SBS 2000 you could simply find the installation directory on the disk, but I can't seem to find it with SBS 2003. Can anyone tell me how I can do this install without reinstalling the entire SBS 2003 system? Thanks! Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178781

    - Moving INstallation I have just purchased SBS 2003 and am looking to install in the next couple of days. In the mean time, I have an extra Dell PowerEdge server that I want to install my current SBS 2000 on so I will have as little downtime as possible. I will install SBS 2003 on my new server as the other works for now. Problem is I am not allowed to add my cals without calling Microsoft and getting a password. I am doing exactly what the technical support file on the CAL disk says to do. I just called Microsoft and the lady I taked to says I have to pay for the technical support. All I need is the password for the reinstall of the CAL's. I have a 20 CAL disk and a 5 CAL disk. Am I calling the wrong group or can I do it online. Any help would be great.

    - Defrag Exchange database MS recommend at least 110% of the database size as free space before attempting to defrag a database with eseutil. If I have let myself get into a situation where there is insufficient free space, is it possible to dismount the store, copy the files across to a drive with spare space, perform a defrag, then copy back and re-mount?

    - SMTP connector unavailable I have a client running SBS 2000 with a dynamic IP address. I have repeatedly tried to get this converted to static but no one will listen to me. Naturally, outbound e-mail is a problem. I tried using a smarthost for all the outbound e-mail, but the outbound mail queue would get stuck until I switched it back to DNS. But when I use DNS, then AOL and others get cranky because it's a dynamic IP. Finally, I set up a second SMTP connector just for AOL and its ilk, leaving everything else on DNS. I had about one or two dozen domains on the smarthost. This seemed to work for a long time, but yesterday the client called complaining that the e-mail routed through the smarthost was not making it out. When we look at the status of the smarthost SMTP connector, it shows "unavailable." Right-clicking on it and starting it releases the mail, but shortly afterward the connector goes down again. The smarthost (a cable ISP) pings okay, and I was able to set up Outlook Express on the server with an account at the ISP, which worked fine. I need at a minimum that the smarthost connector resets itself it it goes down so that the mail eventually goes out. Where do I go from here? Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178749

    - Connector for POP3 Mailboxes service terminated unexpectedly We're running SBS2000 with all of the latest service packs and updates available from the Microsoft Update site. The other day our server logged the following event The Microsoft Connector for POP3 Mailboxes service terminated unexpectedly. Event ID 7031. Whenever the service is restarted, it stops again about 7 minutes later. No other services are affected and no other events are logged - I've turned up the POP3 logging to maximum. Our server is unable to run the POP3 service long enough to download all of our mail - so we don't get any - its all still in our ISPs mailbox. I've scanned for viruses and nothing found. Any help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178745

    - SBS 2000 Computer Name When the SBS 2000 Server was originally setup, the PC's were joined to MYCOMPANY.COM ... this was used only for local Exchange Address books; there was no actual MYCOMPANY.COM. Now though there is a Web Site and we are experiencing multiple (DNS?) problems (slow logins, intermittent internet, etc.). Is this because of the naming convention, or (I suspect) malware? The only way to get the Internet to work properly is to input the ISP DNS address in the DNS properties instead of the SBS NIC, and the SBS keeps losing its shares. Thx in advance Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178740

Now here's the kicker.... My ISP thought there was some virus comgin from our server last weekend...so I scanned the server with Symantec Corp Edition AV. I can not tell you if email had stopped before or after that scan...but when I was researching the SMTP problem I found out what a bad idea that is on a server that is running Exchange. File level scans on the M drive are not good....apparently. So I looked at the default scan settings and the M drive is in there...so it was scanned. So I thought maybe the scan corrupted something so I did the reinstall of IIS and Exchange. No change. So something could still be broke by that scan?? Or SMTP could be blocked by ISA?? My ISP says they did not block port 25 coming out (even though thety did that a long time ago when the server was an open relay). Any Ideas? thanks, Jim Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178731

    - DNS server assignment... We have a Win2K small business server and a member win2K3 DC in our environment acting as a backup DC. All PC's in our LAN have been assigned the IP address of the SBS machine for the "Preferred DNS server" and have been assigned the IP address of the backup DC machine for the "Alternate DNS server" setting. Recently I heard that the DNS addresses for all PC's should be an outside machine - not an internal one. Now I am second guessing myself! Am I correct in having all machines on the LAN being assigned our SBS machine as DNS server or should I have an outside as secondary and leave the SBS as primary? And, if I did this, how would PC's know what machine to get logon credentials from etc... if the SBS machine goes down??? (that's why I have the backup DC as the secondary DNS - and it works well) What should I be doing? Thanks, Brad Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178706

    - Installing licenses with a USB floppy I recently had to rebuild a server for a customer. It is SBS 2000. The new server did not have a floppy drive. I need to use a USB floppy to install the license upgrade pack. However, when I try to install the license, after agreeing to the license agreement, I get a message that the license diskette is either damaged, a copy, or illegal. It is a brand new license disk, purchased in an unopened package. I've tried 2 license disks and have even replaced the USB floppy twice with no success. Any ideas as to what is going on here? Any way anybody knows of to get these licenses installed? The customer is a non- profit and doesn't really have the funds to buy a copy of 2003 SBS. Any help would be appreciated.

    - Upgrading to SBS2003 R2 & New hdwe. Do the CAL's for SBS2003 work for sbs2003 R2 or do I have to purchase new CAL's too? I will be purchasing a new server and installing R2 on it. Is the SWING method for upgrading really the best way to move everything from one box to another? And what exactly does it "move"? I only have about 30 users so I don't mind recreating them. My biggest concern is NOT loosing their email. I would like to have as much of a "fresh/clean" install as possible since we had someone poking around the SBS box trying this and trying that. Who know what's been changed and "made" to work but might not be done the "right" way. Any suggestions on new server hardware? The box will have VERY heavy printing loads and be used for file serving. Thanks, in advance, for anyone's suggestions. Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178686

    - Slow Response Times Some users have been reporting slow response times when opening their e-mail messages. From what I saw it would take about 5 to 10 seconds for a message to open. I checked the mailboxes in Exchange 2000 and nobody has an excessive amount of messages on the server. I run a backup every night of the Exchange store. I am not sure how to tell how much of the 16gig alloted space is used up, however I don't believe we are even close to the limit. Are there any other cleanup processes I should be running on a scheduled basis? To throw another curve into the mix, some of the users are complaining about the network in general being slower than usual. I have monitored the CPU, Hard Drive and Network bandwith on the server. All seem to be well within acceptable ranges. I am sort of at a loss as to where to begin troubleshooting these issues. The network has been running flawlessly for about 3 years now. It has only been withing the last month that the complaints have started to come in. Thank you in advance, Don Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178685

    - RDC over VPN stopped working One of our remote workers (at a hotel) is currently having a problem with a RDC over VPN that has always worked in the past. He connects to the VPN with success, then when launching his RDC, he gets this message: "The client could not connect to the remote computer. Remote connections might not be enabled or the computer might be too busy to accept new connections. It is also possible that network problems are preventing your connection. Please try connecting again later. If the problem continues to occur, contact your administrator." We tried other RDCs & he cannot connect to any desktop at work location. The RDC is set to use Static IP address of desktops, not computer names. >From my location, I have successfully connected to his desktop through the same VPN. Could his hotel be blocking something? If so, how do we tell for sure? And Secondly, why would the VPN connect, but not the RDC. Thanks Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178681

    - Network goes AWOL after a couple of minutes (pt 2) Hi This continues the issue raised here: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000/browse_thread/thread/c5eb3d85f5853655/01915ae1a5b1d808?lnk=st&q=robsavage&rnum=2#01915ae1a5b1d808 Since then, the issue has come back repeatedly, and no matter what processes of elimation we try, we canot nail the problem down. For the past 2 months, they have had my own Cisco 2950 (not a 2940 as I said before) in place and had not a single problem. However, I want my switch back now! I am typing out a quote for a new Cisco switch, but expect them to ask why they should pay several hundred GBP just because we cannot identify the cause of the problem. I'm also dead nervous that if we sell them the switch and then the problem does happen again....! To recap - network goes down intermittently, with all lights lit up on the switch. Restart the switch and all is fine again. I have since plugged the server into the firewall so that in these situations, at least their mail server is still up and running to collect mail. But the problem remains. So it ain't the server causing the issue, as all that is connected to the switch when it goes down now are PCs and a printer. It just baffles me why the Cisco switch is so solid in this regard as opposed to the other switches. We had the original Dell unit back in place a couple of months ago, and they were getting the problem several times per week. I installed the Cisco, and there's not been a single occurrence since. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated, else I shall have to email them the quote! Cheers Rob Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178670

    - Router to SBS-2003 VPN Connection I have an SBS-2003 Server installed with its standard Basic Firewall ... After configuring RRAS, the Remote Windows Clients can successfully VPN the SBS-2003 and the performace is very good ... My delima is when I have tried to connect a Branch Office using different VPN Routers (NetGear - LinkSys) through IPSec but was never successful ... Also, I have followed Microsoft Guidelines in KB:816514 for configuring IPSec Tunneling in Windows 2003 Server and did all the recommended settings but with no luck ... For example, the NetGear FVS124G Router VPN Log shows the following: :: IKE phase-I negotiation started :: IKE phase-I message not received after retries :: Sending a Delete payload of protocol ISAKMP and Peer IP: 4568441c :: Deleting the IsakmpSA As seen from the above, the IKE Phase-I SA doesn't get a response and after (5) retries, it will delete the Phase-I SA proposal before even going to Phase-II SA ... Is there any other steps that I need to configure on the SBS-2003 Server-side other than creating the IPSec Policy ??? ... Appreciate your help so that I can setup this Branch Office to connect to the SBS-2003 ... Thanks ... Reda Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178668

    - SBS2k Exchange recovery - HELP! All, SBS2k, Exchange has hit the end-stops bigtime. Ran offline defrag, and got system back up.. Client didn't have enough time to offload anything before ISP did a 'Mail DB failover'. - This resulted in the same emails coming in twice! Exchange lasted 16 hours between the end of defrag to keeling over again. This time, there was also an event log entry saying that the disk with Mdbdata on it had got to below 10MB free. - This not true. Partitions set to run chkdsk, and server rebooted. I presume there isn't a hack to increase the database size, as there is in Exchange2003? Is there a way to extract a mailbox from Exchange, when exchange won't run? If I did this, could I then uses eseutil to compact what was left, then clear out a sizeable chunk, then get the extracted mailbox back in?

    - When internet went, so did access to other servers? Odd one... and it has never happened before... Our T1 line from Verizon went down this AM, and within a couple of minutes, my users started getting Timeout issues connecting to the SQL Enterprise Edition on another server (which is a member of the domain). I could have sworn that they were unrelated at that time... I took one of the users PC's and changed it to a workgroup (removed it from the domain), and it could run the software on the other server which accesses that SQL server with out any issues. Went to one of the PC's that was still logged into the domain, and it could browse that SQL server, but would time out connecting to the database. T1 from Verizon comes back up... and bang... back in business. No more time out issues. Any suggestions, comments, what to do's? We have lost our internet connection in the past, and it has never effected us elsewhere running apps. -Dennis Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178648

    - Can I add a second CPU to SBS? Hi all, Planning my NT to SBS 2003 R2 migration, I found that I don't have the full documentation on the server hardware - I know the CPU is a XEON 2.4 GHz, but not the frontside bus speed - could be either 400 or 533. I will need to add a CPU (board supports 2, currently 1 installed) but the CPUs must match. Seeing as I'm currently running NT 4 on this server, I can't use Intel's product info utility to get the info - Windows 2000 or higher required. Once it's running SBS 2003 I can easily run the piu utility to get the full processor specs in order to get a match. Can I add the CPU to the server AFTER the migration? Any gotcha's or watch-its? I know NT 4 was a nasty piece of business to add a CPU. TIA, SusanV Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178647

    - Motherboard Upgrade for SBS 2000 Server We have a customer with a SBS 2000 Server that is about five years old. The hard drives were recently replaced, so they have plenty of capacity and they are fast SCSI drives. We are getting ready to replace the motherboard, CPU and memory to get the server's hardware up to date. I have done this same procedure with a Windwows 2000 Server. In that case the operating system had trouble booting, so I just booted on the Windows 2000 CD and ran a repair, which loaded the proper drivers for the new hardware and everything was fine. Can the same procedure be used for SBS 2000 (running a repair install to get the correct drivers for the new hardware)? Tag: Windows 2000 SBS licenses Tag: 178636

    - SBS - Additional SQL Server From: "TimeTraveller" <Timetraveller@blueyonder.co.uk> Subject: SBS and SQL server Date: 31 October 2006 09:40 Hi all, I have a client with an SBS 2000 server and a 2003 member server, They would now like to add an additional full SQL server, what is the best way to achieve this. The SBS server itself is not powerful enough to take the SQL as well so SQL needs to be on a separate box, as this will also be on Server 2003 is this possible on a member server? else is it time to rethink whole setup here?

    - Replacing Server (Migrating Active Directory) Hi, I currently have Windows SBS 2003 SP1 on a server. I need to replace the server because we've outgrew it. We'll have SBS 2003 SP1 on the new server as well (maybe SBS 2003 R2). I need to migrate all the users accounts, policies, and exchange from the old server to the new server. I cannot find any doucments on migrating from SBS 2003 to SBS 2003. I've found migrating docs from SBS 2000, Server 2000 and Server 2003 to SBS 2003 R2. (I might be wrong but I am assuming that migrating to SBS 2003 SP1 and SBS 2003 R2 are the same). Please help if you know of any documents (links) for what I am trying to do.

Hi Paul,

Q. How can I obtain CALs for Small Business Server 2000 or previous versions
of the product now that Small Business Server 2000 CALs have been
discontinued?

A. You will need to purchase SBS 2003 R2 CALs, and then contact your
Microsoft customer service center to order fulfillment media at a nominal
fee. Contact the media fulfillment center at 800-248-0655 to order your SBS
2003 R2 CALs and apply your downgrade rights. International customers can
find the number for the Microsoft customer service center here:
