    - Dns disabled I'm running DNS on my 2000 SBS. About once every two weeks the dns, which is set to automatic, disables its self which freezes our internet and our e-mail. Any suggestions about some hidden registry entry or anything that may be causing the dns to disable itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    - Windows 2003 Server in an SBS2000 Domain Hi, I have just set up a test server with SBS2000 installed. I have left out the ISA server. DNS is setup and working and have connected a Windows XP client with no problems. The problem has arisen trying to connect a windows 2003 server to the network. IP address of SBS server 10.0.0.2 Subnet mask 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.2 DNS 10.0.0.2 WINS 10.0.0.2 Domain name opera IP address of Win 2003 server 10.0.0.4 Subnet mask 255.0.0.0 Gateway 10.0.0.2 DNS 10.0.0.2 WINS 10.0.0.2 I can ping the SBS2000 server both by name and ip address from the win 2003 server and i can ping the 2003 server both by name and ip adress from the SBS Server. I have 3 problems:- 1). I could not get the win 2003 server to join the domain opera. I the end i got it to join by putting the domain name as opera.local 2). When I browse the network and double clickon the doamin opera i get an error message saying that i do not have sufficient rights please contact my system administrator. ( I am logged on to the domain on the win 2003 server as an administrator and am using the domain admins password. 3). Users can not log on to the Windows 2003 T/s (Administrators can) neither can power users, and i have added Backoffice/remote users to the T/S config. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Derek Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129475

    - Installed ISA and can not access IIS I have installed ISA which I have never worked with before. I checked the boxes saying that I would be use IIS, FTP etc on the box. I can access both IIS and FTP from my internal network. However they are not accessable from the internet. It appears to be that this is a configuration issue. Where the heck to I check this? Also where do I go to open/close ports on the firewall? TIA... Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129474

    - Continious Dial-Up and Network Traffic I am guessing that my problem lies with ISA. I am having a problem with the network traffic on the server side which seem to bottleneck when connected to the internet. From what I can understand the problem lies with the setting on ISA that when a client make a request to the local network, the request is sent to the internal and external server. The solution apparently is to set ISA to use only internal DNS. The internal DNS must therefore be configured as a client ISA server. This server must then be configured to fwd any unresolved name to an external DNS. This sound like my problem - I am just battling to find out exactly where and how to configure these settings. If there are other areas I should look at please advise. It would also help if I knew hwere to look to find out why the dial-up is takin place - I must admit I am guessing that this is the cause.

    - Exchange server stopped? We are running SBS 2000. We had a problem with our domain name coming off DNS servers. The source of the problem has been corrected (apparently), but my Exchange Server monitor shows the default server in a critical condition of "STOPPED", with all the underlying services running. Our internal mail system seems to be operating properly, but external mail sent is bouncing back and we don't seem to be getting any inbound stuff. Does the STOPPED condition indicate needed attention here or will it straighten out when the DNS issue is completely resolved? If it needs attention, what should be done? Thanks for any help.

Event Viewer does not always tell me what is going on and shared modem properties does not tell me either. Also, what makes my modem stop ie. what triggers it to turn off? I sometimes have to cancel it. Also, i have noticed a note that comes up on the screen that says that this modem is on hold after it has dialed out. Is this OK? It is an internal modem (ess). thanks Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129426

    - NT Server to SBS Server 2000 Our customer is running a network of 2PCs and one NT 4 Server. The NT server is a PDC. We are replacing the server with a new one running SBS2000 Server. However, because the NT Server is running a legacy app we still need to keep it on the network. Because the SBS2000 server has to be the PDC, can we demote the NT Server to become just a member server on the network? Thanks Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129424

    - Printers I know this is off subject of this newsgroup, but i'm sure it's a simple answer for a lot of you. I'm finishing up a SBS Network, and I'm trying to map printers to each user in the logon script. Each printer hangs off a W2k box. After i install the printer, it is listed in the directory also. What is the syntax of the script that i need? I understand that it is \\server\<printername>.....but is there suppose to be something about a username and password or something? I would also like it to make one printer the default. Thanks, MIKE Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129413

    - OS Install problem - missing file on SP4? Greetings, I'm trying to install SBS 2000 on a Proliant server. Its get through the initial gui part of the install and reboots the machine. On reboot it idsplays a windows that prompts "Please install CD with NT5INF.CAT from Service Pack 4CD'. There's a line where you can enter the path manually but there's no browse. I've tried all the service pack CD's that came with the set, as well as the one's that came with my personal SBSA media. I went to the Microsoft website and downloaded SP4 and extracted it manually to a directory, and the file doesn't exist. Any suggestions? If you cancel the window it reboots the server and you get the same message. So it's loop. Thanks, Tina Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129388

    - Three site installation I have a three site organisation with approx 40 users in total. Each site is linked by ADSL. Facilities required are email, shared diaries, web proxy and file access across sites. Should I implement SBS2000 at one site and W2K servers as additional domain controllers or should I implement W2K at each site with one hosting exchange server. Additional servers would require ISA server in both cases. Is there anything to be gained going down the all W2K route other than future expandability and greater expense? Are there any issues with SBS2000 in a multi-site environment? I appreciate any thoughts. Iain Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129366

    - ISA and PCs on the LAN We used to have our SBS2000 setup so that any PC on our network could get DHCP, and using IE's LAN / automatic settings browse the internet. Now however, we must manually enter the proxy address, and use usernames / passwords to get out. This is annoying. (may have started since SBS SP1, dunno) What rules are needed to allow any PC assigned a DHCP address to be able to browse without ISA blocking?

    - Domain Authentication via Wireless Access Point My customer has a dual-homed server running Windows Small Business Server 2000 with one NIC connected to the LAN and the other connected to the Internet via a hardware firewall. ISA Server 2000 is also used with some IP filters for Blaster, etc. This customer wants to access his domain user account on his laptop via a wireless access point - until now, he has been using a wired connection into his old laptop's nic. Wiring the wireless access point into the Ethernet switch, assigning it a LAN IP address and using MAC address to control acces works with getting the laptop to work to the WAP but domain authentication is not working - he cannot access his user and company shared folder, etc. Reading the various white papers, etc., I think that the WAP needs to be wired to the hardware firewall and be given an IP address in the subnet used by the internal connection of the hardware firewall and the external connection of the server - effectively, the DMZ. We would need Certificate services running on the server along with RRAS, etc. so that the user authenticates with the server via Remote Access. Is this correct? Or is it possible to configure the WAP on the LAN and obtain domain authentication on this internal subnet? If so, how can this be achieved, please? Thanks in anticipation. Joe.

    - Patching I would like to know how how people here handle this patching madness. I work in a company of three full-time and two part-time employees. One of our full-time employees is the owner, who has many non-technical responsibilities although he has a technical background. One of the part-time employees is an administrative assistant with no technical background. The other part-time employee works two or three mornings a week. My full-time colleague is still getting up to speed on servers but also takes care of lots of the easier calls. This pretty much leaves me largely or wholly responsible for about 40 servers, including about 20 SBS units. I have VPN access to most of them but I've been reluctant to patch remotely, if only on account of having heard that some error messages don't display on the Terminal Services session. Plus, our clients are widely scattered geographically, so if something blows up it may not be easy for me to make an emergency on-site visit. In addition to server maintenance I also have to do routine service calls such as "I can't print" or "My UPS is beeping." It's hard to ignore the things that people demand that you fix right away while doing work that nobody asked you to do (we did have one smart guy who asked us for the Blaster patch though). We got stretched to the limit by the blackout in the Northeast; lots of stuff got fried or otherwise discombobulated. I really wanted to patch for Blaster but had no way to do it unless I did it remotely, and even then I'd have to go home and do it after hours. I think I may have patched about 10 or 15 of the 40, tops. Yesterday I made it to a server but it already had W32.Welchia on it. So what's a bedraggled technician to do? Am I just one of many or am I going about it wrong? Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129277

    - DNS Hi on my sbs 2000 server, if i go into the the properties of my lan connection and then the properties of tcp/ip, on the general tab my Preferred DNS server is the ip address of my SBS 2000 server and the alternate DNS Server is the 127.0.0.1 address. Is this correct? Do i need to put in the DNS Server of my ISP somewhere? I thought that this was the spot. If i go into admin tools and then dns and right click on my server, on the interfaces tab it is set to "only the following IP address" which has the ip address of my server. Is this correct? On the forwarders tab it says it is not available because this is a root server. Is this correct? I am confused. Something does not sound right to me. Please help someone.

    - Thanks to reader IK This is in reference to post "Trend Officescan Not Updating" posted on 8/31/03, thanks IK for posting the hotfix and link needed from Trend. I was having this exact same problem and have corresponded with Trend but was never able to get it resolved. I have since obtained this hotfix and for the first time, my w/s updated automatically. I did not need to do a manual update. One question though, while my w/s updated automatically, when I opened the Trend Server Protect Management Console, I noticed that the server was still at pattern 628 (the last pattern file). It downloaded pattern 630 (the newest) and deployed it to all the w/s but the server is still at 628. I could hit the "deploy now" button & it would update to 630. Is there a separate hotfix for this. Or is it something I'm missing? I'm running the Client Server Suite from Trend. Anyone know the answer to this? TIA! Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129260

    - Disabling a user's internet access The manager of my client's medical company asked me to disable internet access for one user. A while back, the doctors had an issue viewing X-rays over the internet using special software, and the only solution was to apply the ISA allow rule to any request. Not exactly ideal security, but it was the only way to get the software to work properly. I need to maintain this setting. Is there any other way to disable a user's internet access? Maybe a group policy? I don't have much experience with group policies, and didn't find anything obvious. Thanks for your time, Corey Tag: clients dropped from network Tag: 129227
