    - Acrobat Reader, Winzip and Users Folder I want to install the free downloads of Acrobat Reader and Winzip on our Win 2000 TS so our users can use both programmes thru TS. Any particular version of each that I should use & any particular issues to watch out for ? 2nd Question: Within each Users folder on the SBS 2000 server there is a "windows" folder and a "wind" file. What is the purpose of these 2 items and can I secure them from being deleted by a user ? Hide them ? Thanks in advance. Best Regards Antony Catella Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149660

    - Problem Setting up XP Laptop On SBS 2000 Network I am having problems setting up an XP Laptop on my SBS 2000 Network. I utilize a network setup disc to set up new computers. When I try to set this pc up I get a "domain not found" or "can't set this type of computer up". I don't have the error down word for word. Bottom line the setup bails out. The same disc worked on some 98 and 2000 machines. I was also able to release and renew the ip and get a new address within the DHCP address pool. I am using the "problem XP laptop" at home on my cable modem to write this, so I feel that it does have any hardware problems. Any advice or suggestions will be very appreciated. Thanks, Mike Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149657

    - Opening POP3 port Hi there I have a customer who wants to be able to access her exchange email with her mobile phone. I was thinking that one way to do it would be to open the POP3 port to the SBS2000 Server so that her mobile phone would be able to log into the pop3 server and check it that way. I just want some opinions on wether it is a good idea to be opening POP3 or not. I am guessing not but I just want to see if I am being paranoid. Thanks heaps Daniel.

    - NEWBIE: VPN problems - no response from server? Hi All, I am having problems setting up VPN. I have configured my SBS2000 server according to Mariette Knaps 'How do I configure the server for remote access with VPN' on smallbizserver.net. The server uses a Netgear DG834 ADSL router and this is set up to allow VPN PPTP on port 1723 both in and out. I have set up my remote XP client at home according to KB 314076 (Configure a connection to a VPN in Windows XP) with PPTP as the type of VPN. When I try to connect from my home PC (with both the XP firewall and my zone alarm disabled). I get a 'connecting to the IP address' then a 'verifying username and password'. After that it times out and I just get a Windows error 721 'the remote computer did not respond' If I check the 'IP packet filters' in ISA there is no port listed for PPTP (although there is one listed 1701 for LTP2). I am using Windows XP home do I need to upgrade to Pro.? Thanks guys for any help. Cheers, David Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149623

    - moving on question Hi! Well, it was approved. The budget that is. So, I'm moving on to SBS2003 Premium for the SBS box (new box) and to Win2003 Ent. Ed. for Member server. Question: What is the best way to approach this? The existing sbs box (sbs2k) will be used as a desktop handling backup images via Ghost. I was planning on installing Win xp Pro on it. Challenges: 1) A new install, but getting all AD and exchange mboxes over on sbs box. 2) I'm not too worried about the member server--it just serves as a file server (via mapped drives) and a print server. I'm guessing the best bet is to just copy directories to the existing sbs2k box then do a complete reinstall here. Goals, in summary: 1. Replace existing PDC with new SBS2003 Premium. 2) move all AD and exchange stuff from old sbs to new sbs. 3) Load win2003 ent edit. on existing member server, using a clean install, then copying data back. Any one have any advise? Thanks. Marcia Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149592

    - Serious Problems with ISA Hello, SBS2K. I posted an article in this group entitled "More Problems With Dial-Up Connection" on January 13th. In Wallace Fu's response dated January 16th, he advised that I change the 'BackOffice Internet Access Site and Content Rule' and the 'BackOffice Internet Access Protocol Rule' to allow all traffic as oppoesd to the the BackOffice Internet Users Group for some troubleshooting. I did that. But now, I have realized that those changes are not necessary to troubleshoot the problem, so I tried to change them back. Now, I cannot hit my newsgroups using Outlook Express (three different group accounts) on my office PC (not via dial-up). Also, my Firewall Client, which I have set to hide when disabled keeps coming back up on the taskbar. I refresh, then it goes away for a few minutes, but then it comes back. This does not happen normally. I can still surf the web though. I dont know whats wrong, but I assume its something in ISA. This stuff always happens on Friday afternoon. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149573

    - OT: V2i Protector [a story from the field] Hi Everybodies, Yesterday a client called me to let me know that his DLT drive had died. Dell came out to change the drive, but afterwards they started to get errors in the event log. Dell advised them to get the new Veritas drives and to install them. They installed the new drivers, but wouldn't reboot until everyone had gone home. They rebooted the server and got a BSOD saying that one of the registry hives had been corrupted from the install of the new drivers. Booting into safe mode failed, as along with last known good configuration. They take an image of their server before they do any work on it, just like this and also before the installation of patches and the like. Placed in V2i recovery disk, restored image and the server was back up. Total down time 25 minutes. Client rang to tell me this story and advised that it has just paid for itself. Disclaimer: This is not a sales plug, but simply a one story of a client who know how much his data is worth and knows how much per hour it costs for him to be down.

    - OT: SQL Reporting Services Hello, I am sure this is a little off target, but I just wanted to know if anyone has heard about this new thing for SQL they are coming out with called SQL Reporting Services (http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reporting/default.asp)? It looks like it might be a pretty interesting package. Anyone know anything about it? Chris Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149543

    - tape backup recommendations What type of tape backup system would you recommend for a server running SBS2000? The server has a 120Gb hard drive which will probably end up being about half full once the server goes into production. I've seen recommendations for SCSI over Travan but that's about the only suggestion I've seen. Does anyone have an opinion on Exabyte's VXA drives? What are you using? Cost is a concern (of course). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ansley Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149542

    - What's this running? 7pm last night, all workstations are turned off, but the Internet connection is active. So I ask myself, "What's the server doing?" Live updates run in the AM. So I look in task manager and see these jobs savfmsesp.exe (4 seperate jobs) savfmsespjm.exe savfmset.exe savfmselog.exe What the heck are these things? Maybe this is what was accessing the Internet??? Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149538

    - Event Viewer After some research on google, its becoming apparent that one of the hotfixes (don't know which one) corrupts the event viewer. The "FIX" for this is to stop the event log, rename the old files and reboot the machine. I have not done this yet, but has anybody else noticed a problem? I can read all logs other htan the Applications log. Once I try to read that, all other logs become unreadable until I restart event viewer. The real question in all this is how do I stop the Event Log? I've gone to services, but the start/stop/pause options are all greyed out. Not to sidetrack too far on a rant, but this is exactly why I hate patching. The patches break more than they fix half the time. Nothing strikes me funnier than applying a patch, running windows update after the patch, and having a new list of patches to apply to fix the last patch..... Anyhow, I know it has to be done, so now I'm trying to be a good soldier and get this on its feet again. Thanks! Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149536

    - Displaying more than 25 messages in OWA Is there a way to set OWA up to veiw more than 25 messages at once? Right now if you have 50 messages in your inbox there are 2 pages with 25 messages on each one. It would be nice to have all 50 on one page so that if you have a bunch of SPAM mail you can highlight more at a time. Thanks for any information. Chris Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149527

    - Credentials Supplied Conflict - New Domain - New User Hey all, I am just finishing a new server roll out. I'm running Windows 2000 Server with SQL Server, DNS server, Active Directory, and Exchange Server installed on it. This machine is the Domain Controller of the domain GMS.com. Everything seems ok(says DCDIAG), SQL Server is fine, DNS is operating correctly(says NETDIAG), AD is fine, and Exchange installed with a minimal fuss(FORESTPREP and DOMAINPREP where first run). But when I try to add the first user to the domain(a test system) from the users PC, I get an error saying, "The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials." I have tried removing the user and computer from AD, then trying to add that PC to the domain, and nothing. I found a fix in the Microsoft knowledge base(197987) saying I need to modify the registry entry for HKEY_USERS, but when I follow the instructions to load the NTUSER.dat file for the user in conflict, the user is not in \Documents And Settings. If I try to load NTUSER.dat from a user that is there, it errors out saying "Unable to complete". If I try to simply delete the node on the tree, it says I donâ??t have access permission, but I am logged on as the built-in administrator with full system access; How can this be? Well I know this isn't a big deal, but I canâ??t find anything on the knowledge base except article 197987, and I want to get this domain rolled out. Thanks in advance to everyone, and hope to hear from you guys with good answers as always. Thanks again, Gerard Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149525

    - Issue with Backup Exec on SBS2000 We are running SBS2000, never had a problem. Installed Veritas 8.6, no problem. We have been running successful backups for months now. Now all of a sudden nothing runs on it. In the scheduler I see our daily backup showing that it is scheduled to run, but it never does. It doesn't make any kind of error log or anything. If I try to do a manual backup, same problem, shows that it is scheduled but nothing happens. All of the services startup fine, tried restarting them, then it shows that the backup jobs were "missed". Any ideas? Douglas Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149521

    - Control Panel issue? Hi I posted this in the win2000.general but got no takers I though I'd see if anyone here had seen this before. I have a win2k sp4 that the user can't open the Control Panel, My Computer, Printers or indows Explore unless there part of the administrator group. If I put them in the power user group I get something like what's described in KB 221153. It seems that this is a little different problem since changing the permission level fixes the problem I reset the permission on the winnt folder with no effect. this is a real puzzle to me I would like to fix this with out re-installing the OS (this is a clean install 48 hrs old) as it takes about 4-1/2 hrs to re-format and install all the software.

    - Two quick question on DNS, VPN and Firewall I have computers which have multiple entries in the servers DNS. (One is now running very slow). e.g. PCcomp7 has a DNS entry IP of 192.168.0.33 PCcomp7 also has a DNS entry ip of 192.168.0.80 This has only happened since installing and configuring a VPN. Question1: Can i safely delete 192.168.0.33 as the pc always seems to be assigned 192.168.0.80 anyway? What would the implications be? A user cannot get mail when his firewall is set to enabled does he need to have the FW Client running? I note a lot of other postings state disable the firewall and run without it. Question2: What are the implications if i do disable? Tag: XP configuration on SBS 2000 Tag: 149501

    - Outlook 2003 with Office XP under SBS 2003 Hi All, I just received my SBS 2003 Premium disks via software assurance. It comes with Outlook 2003! GROOVY! Unfortunately, I don't have software assurance for Office XP. Is this going to be a problem if I want to use the new Outlook 2003 alongside the XP versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access? And how with this mix of office versions blend with SBS 2003 Premium? Will I be missing a ton of features, create program instability/crashes, and basically create havoc on my existing client server setup? Anyone know the answers to the exciting, though provoking questions??? ** Hugs & Kissess ** ~ CaSsIe ~ P.S. I am currently running SBS 2000 and would like to upgrade to the 2003 version.

    - OWA attachment issue I have a member of staff who gains access to his Mail remotely from our SBS2K server. He has a Windows 98 2nd Edition with Office 97 and IE version 6. He is able to use all the functions in OWA except adding attachment. When he goes to add the attachment, I.e. and excel document, after browsing for it, He clicks on attach and nothing happens. It keeps the location in the file in the dialogue box but yet will not attach the file to the message. Has anyone come across this issue before? If so any help would be much appreciated.

    - External Website not starting: SBS2003 Hi all, i have recently upgraded to small business server 2003 premium from SBS2000. I am having trouble getting an exteranl web site to start in IIS6. When trying to nstart this site on the external interface, i get the error message "The network location cannot be reached. For more information about netwrok troubleshooting, see Windows Help." Sites on the internal facing interface work fine. Something i do not understand is the default web site is only assigned to the internal interface but you can still access it from the web. for example http://sbs.domain.co.uk/remote The system event log error message is copied below: _____________________________________________________________________ Event Type: Error Event Source: W3SVC Event Category: None Event ID: 1130 Date: 23/01/2004 Time: 10:57:50 User: N/A Computer: DTGSBS Description: Cannot register the URL prefix 'http://members.domain.co.uk:80:80.XXX.XXX.186/_layouts/' for site '2115318712'. The IP address for the site is not in the HTTP.sys IP listen list. The site has been deactivated. The data field contains the error number. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I have setup an XP client on our network using KB316418
article and it seems to connect alright. However I just
wanted to know if there are any other suggested
configurations to make ? I remember seeing something about
the NIC and the DNS server, but need a reminder.

Thanks

DNS on the servernic(s) should *only* point to the server-IP. If you have
set the client to obtain an IP and DNS automatically from the DHCP-server,
those settings will be pushed to the clients.
