    - Adding email accounts with Exchange - SBS2K3 First of all, what happened to the SBS2K3 group?!?!?!? I have a client that would be able to add various email accounts to Exchange. This brings up several (possibly silly) questions: * Do you have to setup a new user account in ADUC in order to have an email account in Exchange? If not, how do you set one up without entering it in ADUC? * Is it possible to setup a 'variable' email account to where anything in front of the @ symbol is valid and gets routed to a specific account? (Please note that I have advised against setting something like this up due to the spam factor alone!) * Is there anyway to map/route multiple email addresses to a single user account? Could this be done with aliasing? Thanks for any helpful replies! Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165961

    - Allowing Client Applciations to be installed and updated. In SBS2000: I have added a series of applications to the "Define Client Applications". I need to be able to allow users to install these client applications (firewall, shared modem etc) when prompted without giving them local admin rights. Is there a way to allow all domain users to install only Client Apps with elevated priviledges? Also, some of these apps (clients to a server app) detect an update setup application from a server and prompt the user to run an update setup. How can you modify the SBS2000 domain policy to allow for this to happen - again without elevated priviledges? Thank you Julian Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165958

    - Password setting keeps changing SBS2000 Server In the user properties I have checked the password to not expire. Somehow its keeps getting unchecked, I believe its one of the policies but I am not able to determine which one is causing it. From what I reviewed the policy settings are right, but then I could be missing something Where are the policies that sets password to not expire or the policy to make the password expire so that I can fix this problem.

    - Migration from SBS2000 to win2003 STD Hello, I was wondering if anybody had experience with the following: We are currently running SBS2000, but only using the OS portion of the package (no sql or Exchange). We use it for terminal server, though. I want to do an in place migration to Windows 2003 server via the migration pack. Has anybody used the migration pack on a SBS2000 install and then done an in place upgrade to Win2003 server? I need to make sure that the termional server functionality survives the process. Thanks in advance. Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165952

    - OT: Looking for UK based FTP space As part of a disaster recovery plan I'm looking for some offsite FTP space preferably in the UK. The idea is to schedule an upload of certain company info offsite incase of onsite disaster. The idea is that key staff could access the ftp site from any cyber site and access certain key data. Site would need to be secure but no valuable data would be stored. Does anyone have link to a good site? Thanks Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165946

    - Blackberry Hi, I am in the process of setting up Blackberry Enterprise Server. We have an SBS 2000 box with 2 NICs - the WAN NIC is connected to a Watchguard SOHO 6 firewall and this is then connected to our router. I have been following the deployment guide, setup the BesAdmin account in Exchage. I then planned to install BES onto a machine that ran Windows 2003 Server Std without Outlook client installed (as per the book suggested). On the 5th page of the install wizard, named 'Blackberry Server Communication Information' I enter the servername, SRP host as 192.168.16.2 (SBS's IP address as it is the proxy) and the SRP as port 3101. Now, on the Watchguard I opened up an outbound port TCP 3101 allowed by 192.168.16.2 and this throws back 'Test failed with error code (10061).' Looking at the Blackberry KB, it suggests that an outbound connection cannot be made. It requires that the outbound port 3101 should be configured as 'Bi-directional' (?what does this mean?) and I am deperately trying to get this working but I am stuck! This is when I hit the 'Test Network Connection' button. Do I need to setup something in ISA Server Filters? We use GFI MSEC, DSEC and I have granted srp.eu.blackberry to be excluded from the GFI filter in ISA. Please can someone help me as this is really bugging me. Furthermore, help on creating a custom outbound rule for port 3101 would be helpful on a Watchguard firewall SOHO6. I am sure I have done it correct, but I need a second opinion.

    - SMTP in Small Business Server 2000 Hi, We are in the UK using BT OpenWorld as our ISP. We are on Business 500 tariff. We are having problems sending out external email to a couple of clients, where we are getting smtp errors (commented out using<>): ___________________________________________ The following recipient(s) could not be reached: ' (<recipient>)' on 13/10/2004 14:12 There was a SMTP communication problem with the recipient's email server. Please contact your system administrator. <<sbs servername>.<SBS domainname>.local #5.5.0 smtp;550 <IP address from BT> is listed in the DNSBL at dul.dnsbl.sorbs.net and thus is considered unsolicited.> ______________________________________________ Although we have NO NAT and 5 IP addresses, it seems that BT has put us on a domestic account at their exchange as the IP address changes each time we drop the line and re-sync. In Internet Connection Wizard on the SBS Admin Console, I ran through the wizard to setup our router (specifiying the external NIC IP for external network etc...) and I cannot find the bit where you specify the SMTP server. I seem to remember in the past, BT changed their SMTP server and I went into a MMC somewhere on the SBS to re-plug this in - but I cannot find it. Furthermore, although the SBS runs it's own SMTP service, am I sending mail out through the SBS or am I using the ISP's SMTP server? For the latter, I do not know where I should plug in the ISP's SMTP server address. Please help. As you can see, our domain, SBS machine name and our email domain-name are all different. Is this a possible reason why we are being rejected by this recipient - are they doing a reverse DNS lookup and we are failing somewhere? In which case, how can we test and how can we put this right?

    - WinXP Pro on SBS2000 LAN So I MANUALLY added the WinXP Pro client to the domain of the SBS2000 LAN. (Previous post 10/11/2004 12:41 PM) I logged on workstation as the Domain Administrator and installed Outlook and Firewall from server. How do I get Trend C/S/M Suite to install the Client portion onto the workstation? Seems that on previous workstations that when they logged onto the LAN that it automatically installed... Overview: Existing user is getting new workstation. Want to get it connected to LAN, get all software installed and then exchange it with his current Win2000 box that he is currently using. This pc (Dell) was bought from a company that had a bunch of proprietary software installed and configured to connect with their main office.

    - XP SP1, Windows update error 0x800072F78 For info, none of our XP clients will contect to Windows Update from behind a bog standard SBS 2000 install (i.e. no specific ISA configurations in place), post the install of the MS critical security patches in September. Alternatively, it may be due to MS updates to the XP side of the WindowsUpdate site following XP SP2 release. The error given is 0x800072F78 and none of the client fixes in the relevant KB article work (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=836985). W2K clients and the SBS server update just fine. The KB article does suggest a firewall problem and, indeed, adding a temporary allow/allow all IP traffic rule in ISA is a workaround. Any suggestions on a better solution (not involving XP SP2 at present) would be appreciated (as would an explanation of what got broke in the first place!)

    - NAT translation Hi there, I use SBS2k and ISA, would like to know the following: I have heard people say are you using NAT? I understand that my network should only have one unique external IP address, say my address is 111.222.333.1 and can have many internal e.g. 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.256 of which other networks could have the same address'. I also understand that this is to save IP address'. However i am unsure how to setup NAT. Is it something which i need to install? How do i configure NAT is it in the router settings? I know i have come across this in ISA server -- My Signature Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165908

    - Using IAS to authenticate remote users.... We have a windows 2000 small business server. Due to the fact that we also have a Watchguard Firebox 700 in our environment, I have not really looked too closely at the value edded by configuring the IAS server. However, now we are in a bit of a predicament. Because we are being 1:1 NATTED to our firebox by our wireless IP provider (where our public IP is located), the java authentication applet running on the Firebox that a remote user would normally run before they could get through the firewall does not know the IP address of the actual browser that initiated the request. It only knows the exteral IP of the Firebox which is a private ip - not our public IP. (Don't ask questions - it just doesn't work - Watchguard tech support has told me so!!!) So, because of this we have not been able to authenticate any remote users before they actually get to our production servers. '' The only authentication (we user terminal services, Outlook Web Access and have an FTP server as well) is when they actually have to supply a domain username/password - and if supplied correctly - gain access to our Terminal server... I now want to change this so that a user must authenticate first and then if authenticated, will be able to access the terminal server, FTP server, etc... I really wanted to have this authentication take place prior to hitting my production machines, but I don't see any other solution (unless someone else has) to doing this... The firewall is obviously the best place to provide this security feature... What would I have to configure in IAS to provide this type of a thing? A RADIUS server? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, brad Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165892

    - strange DHCP lease SBS2000-ISA/DHCP/DNS/IIS/EXCHANGE ~50 W2K clients periodically I take a look at the leases folder of the DHCP tree in the SBS console. Almost everything looks OK, except the twice now I have noticed a lease for a computer called "pat". Problem is that I do not know of any system named "pat" and nobody is owning up to connecting to the network. Therefore I'd like to prevent "pat" from connecting and getting a network IP address. The only info I have is the NIC "00010267a972" and the computer name "pat" Is there a way of locking "pat" out? Please be specific. Thanks RickD Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165886

    - Printing problem Hi, Out of the blue today we started having trouble printing to our network printers. The problem seems to only occur with our windows 98 SE clients. We seem to be able to print fine from windows XP clients and from the server itself. The symptoms are that things just don't print, the printer icon doesn't appear in the system tray. If I try and do a printer test page from the printer properties I get the following error message "There was an error writing to server/queue for printer printername. The access code is invalid The printer will be set to work offline To save your job in the local printer queue, click ok" I have tried reinstalling the printer dirvers on the server and the clients, but still get the same problem. I have also tried turning all machines off, server and clients, and still the same problem. Can anyone offer any ideas as to how to solve this problem.? Thanks Mark S. Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165868

    - RAID 1 versus RAID 5 Yesterday in my office there was a discussion with Marina Roos and Jeff (online) about howto to setup the best practice RAID partitioning. In the past I followed the SBS2K deployment guide which states: RAID 1 is the only way you can back up your boot and system partition. In the case of RAID 5, you require at least three disks and you can use up to two-thirds of the total disk space for data storage. This provides better performance, but it cannot give fault tolerance to your boot and system partitions. I have 2 9.1GB HDs and another 4 36GB HDs. In the past I installed the system programs on the 9.1 partitions and the data files of exchange, SQL and users and company shared folders on the 36GB disks. Is the deplyment guide wrong in stating that the boot and system disk can only be backuped with RAID 1? Furthermore what happens in an all RAID 5 situation if the system partition disk goes bad? Is it in this case also just a matter of hot swapping a new disk and move on? Or ... I can use the 9.1Gb to expand a RAID 5 partition on other server, so moving to RAID 5 would be welcome.

    - Removing ISA 2000 and 2nd Nic Hi All, I have a client who wants to do some apps back and forth between their main office (SBS 2000) and their branch office (NT4.0 Server). After much trial and tribulation with ISA, we decided that we will remove ISA ( well, put it in just Caching Mode) and the 2nd Nic so that the apps will work from server to server. They have a VPN router at each office with a full time VPN connection running. Now, what probs will I face doing this? Any order I should do things in? Thanks, Mike Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165864

    - mail-domain problem, domain within domain Hello, the problem is this: using SBS2000, 30 clients, The mail send-part is the problem. The company is international working, lets call it, The company Buzz, so info@buzz.com is legal. All of the people within the whole company world-wide will have the form firstname.lastname@buzz.com so that it appears to the whole world as 1 company. In the netherland there is site1, in germany site2, in england site3, etc. If someone sends a mail to big.ben@buzz.com it will arrive at the master-mail-server in england, here it gets sorted and forwarded to the pop-mailbox@site3 because Big Ben is working in England at site3, so will the mail send to amster.dam@buzz.com beiing forwarded to pop-mailbox@site2 because miss Amster Dam is working in the Netherlands at Site1. Ok this is all working ok. Now miss Amster Dam gets a mail from Big.Ben@buzz.com and reply's to it, now here it goes wrong, if she send the mail, exchange will see that there is a mail coming from amster.dam@buzz.com as reply to big.ben@buzz.com and exhange will know that all of this is within it's own domain........ it searches for Big Ben locally but can't find it. And send a nice message to Amster Dam that it can not reach Big Ben. And end the transmission with <server-x.buzz.intra #5.1.1> Q1. can i work around this? Q2. can i configure a list of adresses that exchange looks into and can make the decision to kick the mail on the internet? Q3. help Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165849

    - Adding WinXP Pro to SBS2000, Disk or NO Disk? Looked at the info on smallbizserver.net about adding a WinXP Pro client to SBS2000 and it says, "DO NOT USE THE CLIENT FLOPPY DISK." Then is says, "See more info 316418 - How to Set Up a Windows XP Professional Client in an SBS 2000 Network." KB article 316418 says, "You can use the SBS 2000 Setup Computer Wizard to create a floppy disk that you can use to configure a client computer in an SBS 2000 network. Microsoft recommends that you use the Computer Setup Wizard to configure Windows XP based client computers." Any insight and/or clarification on this would be appreciated! Thanks.

    - Domain Controller Redundancy Hi, I have two domain controllers on my domain (one SBS2003 server (DHCP + DNS server) and one Windows 2003 server). I want to have the domain controllers configured to so that if either one is unavailable users on the network will still be able to logon and be authenticated. These are my questions : 1 - In order for a DC (domain controller) to authenticate clients it needs to be a GC (Global Catalog Server) ? Do I have to configure the Windows 2003 DC server as a GC ? 2 - DHCP : to provide DHCP redundancy do I have to configure DHCP scopes for two different ranges, disable the DHCP server service on my Windows 2003 server and enable it when my SBS2003 fails ? 3 - DNS : forward and reverse zones on SBS2003 are Active-Directory Integrated zones. How do I have to configure DNS zones on my Windows 2003 server ? How do I have to set up primary and secondary DNS server addresses on my lan network cards ? (primary = itself, secondary = the other DC ?). Thanks, Andrea Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165815

    - pc hangs Hi, I have a sbs 2k domain with about 30 client pc's All has been running well until I ran into a problem where someone could log in as a domain user no problem, but as soon as they openned "My Computer" and clicked on their personal share (which is on the sbs server) the pc hangs. Ctrl alt del does nothing and the only way to recover is to power off the pc and start again. It only happens with a handful of users. I have swapped pc's, swapped cat cables, swapped ethernet switch, re made roaming profiles all to no avail. There are no error messages under the event viewer to indicate a problem. I am at my wits end trying to sort this because as I say when the pc locks up you need to start from scratch. Last week I restarted the sbs server without some users being logged off. This resulted in a few corrupted files that were open at the time. I am wondering if this has caused the problem with the users. Any help appreciated as I don't know where to go from here Regards Simon Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165810

In the past few weeks I encountered an appearance of the board being "hung". Won't send or receive and I've tested the phone line. Stopping and starting the service does not restore it and the last time re-booting did not restore it. I had to un-install and re-install the hardware/software to get it up and running. The driver version is 4.3.1.59. I've gone to the Brooktrout website several times and I even down loaded the drivers from there but it continues to come up with the same driver. Is there a new driver or another way rather than re-booting the server to get this back up and running when it hangs? Thanks Rick Tag: Word Xp woes Tag: 165798

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. Please state all messages and IDs in failure notices and/or in the event viewers. Also what may have been installed/changed/updated prior to or during the issue. =================================================== - Posting In capitals on is considered SHOUTING! ...Please don't. =================================================== - Don't overlook or discount Paid Support. If the Issue is urgent or complex, the time you spend searching for a "free" solution. ...and cost factors such as Worker Downtime, Customer Irritation, Lost Productivity, and Hair Replacement costs will likely far outweigh the cost of a Support Call to Microsoft PSS (Product Support Services ) or a Support Professional. Note: Hotfixes are free of charge. Just ask for the specific Hotfix. =================================================== - It's difficult to convey human emotions on Usenet (Humour, Pathos, Sarcasm, Tongue-In-Cheek ) so use of emoticons and/or acronym tags is advised. .... and no; you -don't- have to be serious all the time. It's a community. Enjoy ! =================================================== - There are many paths to a solution and as many experiences in getting there as there are posters. Sometimes the paths are well worn, tried and true. Sometimes paths diverge, sometimes converge, and sometimes new trails are blazed. Understand and respect that, and use what suits you and your situation. =================================================== - People are different, but people are people. You should be nice to them.

I have sbs2000
Windows XP sp1
Office xp sp3

Hello,

For the life of me i keep getting this one user when he opens up a word
file.

There is an unrecoverable disk error on file <filename>. The disk you're
working on has a media problem that prevents Word from using it."

This the first i have come across this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Where is this file located?
Can anyone else open this file from the same location?
Are you seeing any errors on the SBS server? Got good backups, and run a
chkdsk ?

So if someone else logs into this workstation and tries to open the file,
they can't? And if the user you mentioned logs into another machine that
works, it won't work for him?
