    - << SBS Posting FAQ for New Users - V:1.0 - Last Updated: 2004-07-21>> An HTML version of this document is available at: http://www.sbs-rocks.com/netiquette.htm -------------- The following tips are designed to help you get the fastest and most appropriate answer to your questions. They suggest which newsgroup to use,what basic research to do before posting, information to include in your posting, newsgroup etiquette, and alternate sources of useful information. Following them will help us to help you. =================================================== - Post to the appropriate newsgroup: For SBS 4/4.5: microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz For SBS 2000 : microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000 For SBS 2003 : microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs Microsoft News Server: news.microsoft.com The SBS Newsgroups provide a free forum for threaded discussion and peer support on issues related to Small Business Server by users, service providers and interested parties. Please remember when posting that non Microsoft people don't get paid to be here, and MVPs are -not- Microsoft employees. { Who are the Microsoft MVPs ? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;mvpfaqs } Everyone here is giving generously and freely of their time, experience and expertise to enhance the Small Business Server Community. Join it, support it, respect it and enjoy it. - SBS Rocks ! =================================================== A Web interface to the SBS 2003 newsgroup is at: http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/?pr=newsgsbs2003 You'll find the Rules of conduct on the MS Website at: Welcome to Microsoft Discussion Groups http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx =================================================== - Do some basic researches for previously posted solutions. ( It's most likely been posted and solved before. ) Advanced Google Search: http://www.google.com/advanced_search Domain: microsoft.com experts-exchange.com Advanced Google Groups Search of the Usenet archives: http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search Advanced Microsoft Search: http://search.microsoft.com/search/search.aspx?st=a&View=en-us (Note that you can also just enter a KB, Q or Error Number) Event Log Entries associated with your issue or setup: http://www.eventid.net (Enter the Event number from the Event Log) http://search.microsoft.com (Enter '1001' (for example) or 'error 1001') Your Public Interface: http://www.dnsreport.com http://www.dnsstuff.com Your network Settings on Servers and workstations: Start > Run > cmd : ipconfig /all Ports Status Start > Run > cmd : netstat -an =================================================== - Post with a meaningful subject line so those with expertise or interest in the topic can find it quickly. - Posting with a purely attention seeking topic such as "DISASTER" or "No-One Ever Responds to Me" may get you noticed -once- but is likely to get you ignored or dropped in future. 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. This is a technical newsgroup and not a place for Egos or Flame Wars. As a community we try to leave them at the door and respect each other. What you post here is archived and available to anyone, anytime. Remember ...."Please don't feed the Trolls!" =================================================== - Newsgroups are not your only source of Information / Help.

We were all "Newbies" once and none of us has experience with every permutation, combination, setup and environment SBS is deployed in, so there are -no- stupid or dumb questions. That's the domain of answers that imply that there are. If you're asking a question and know the answer to another one on the page, muck in and post it.

Remember: No-one -owes- you a response. =================================================== - Things get missed. Things do get lost or missed, or someone with the appropriate skills or experience may not be available, so if you haven't had a response after 3 Days or so, post again, perhaps with more detail and things you've tried in the interim. ============================================ - Lastly, -enjoy - and remember, SBS Rocks !

    - install printer on 98 os based workstation Today I want to add a network printer to a 98 os workstaion in SBS 2000 domain. The printer i choose to connect to is a device to another workstation running 2000 pro who worked as a printer server in SBS 2000 domain. I did the same thing for a 2000 pro workstation, it was done smoothly, but when i try to do this for a 98 os workstation, it prompted me insert a 98 2nd os CD. I do not have the 98 os CD at hand. I guess the problem is that 98 os need a appropriate printer driver. Can anyone help. Thanks Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164367

    - Device/Firewall for SOHO in AD 2003 Env Background: We have three servers with its own web contents available on the Internet. Our servers are not behing ANY firewall and would liekt o place behind firewall (I only want to expose the necessary services to the outside world - nothing more). Each server is Windows 2003 Std. and one is a DC. (1) I have three servers internally that has its own public IP. (2) I want a firewall device to block everything except the web sites (other services) I have on each one. I want o publish any service (FTP, RDP, etc) and punch a hole in the firewall device and port forwad to correct internal IP. Question: ======= What device for the SOHO (cheap), that will allow me to forward traffic from each PUBLIC IP (only 3 servers to forward to) to the correct Internal Server? Basically, I want a device that will function a simple firewall, and also port forwards traffic of public IP to the appropriate internal IP / server. Hope this makes sense...please let me know what you think - thanks. Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164357

    - HELP HELP HELP Hi All, I hope someone can help here. We had a total hardware failure on a the mirror of a W2K BackOffice box with Exchange 2000. We were able to save the Raid 5 D drive that has the Exchange Private and Public Store. On the new hardware we installed W2K and ran the 2000 BackOffice setup. As part of this setup we joint the box to the existing domain and installed Exchange2000. After reboot, the server had joined the domain and had replicated the AD from the other DC. When starting the Enterprise Admin the public and private store were showing but couldn't be started. The property pages are pointing to the right DIR on the D drive where all logfiles and the Private and Public store files are. We then noticed that there is no M drive and when we checked the services, none of the Exchange services are there. We have no clue what has happened. Does anybody know about a white paper or something that we could use to get Exchange back up again? If needed we can whipe the C drive again and start from scratch. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Claus Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164352

As users log on for the first time I want to be able to create ready made short cuts to directories on the server (like the company folder does). Also a default shortcut to the company website when they open explorer. I have been told its to do with group policies. Is there a nice wizard or tutorial/examples I can use.

    - Duplicate IP Addresses I have a small network consisting of a server running SBS2000 and approximately 20 PC running either Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000 Pro. For the last few days when I have arrived at the office in the morning I find I am unable to access the server. When I look at the server there is a message indicating that the server has detected a duplicate IP address. If I reboot the server the problem goes away. This message also appears on many workstations. I have looked at the event logs on the server and can see this message repeated many times over a number of hours but I am unable to determine when it started. I have now increased the size of the log file. I have checked the event logs on several PCs as well and can see that this problem occurs on and off throughtout the day with the PCs as well. It occurs only for a few seconds and then stops. I am not sure why this is happening and how I can stop it. Can anybody help? Thanks David Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164329

    - Guest administrator access First of all thanks to all the helpful folk who give us answers. Greatly appreciated. The question I have regarding guest administrator access, is as follows. The company wants to have an independant consultant come in and do a network and security audit on the system as we have installed it to look for, I am assuming, security holes, or misconfigurations etc. I have suggested that I create a guest administrator account because I am uncomfortable handing out the administrator credentials to an outside party. As well the administrator doesn't need access to personal folders etc he just needs to look over the logs and performance monitors etc. If this were you, what permissions would you give him/her? Is there a way to lock down such so that they can look at these things without having "full" administrator rights? Any direction would be beneficial. thanks again. Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164302

    - Max Exchage DB size in SBS Small Business Server imposes a 6gb limit on the size of the Exchange DB correct? Is the file I should be watching the "priv1.edb" file?? If so, I saw this file awfully close to the 6gb mark last week. I then warned users they better clean up their emails, start archiving etc... Many of them have done this. However, the size of the priv1.edb file still shows the same... What gives here? I made sure they aslso deleted their "deleted items" as many forget to do that...Am I looking at the wrong file to determine the size of my exchange DB? Why is it not shrinking as the individual mail boxes are reduced in size? Help! Thanks Brad Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164297

    - More fun with permissions and permissions need to print via RDP Using kb article # 244600 I've been doing a comparsion of the folder permissions as they exist on our 2k sbs server because they just seem too open. I think someone has changed something. Is there anyway to tell who has changed security on files? The real issue is that I have changed a few settings because someone had give "everyone" full access to the root of "C" and that just doesn't quite seem right. Can some one correct me on this? Also, adjusting the security permissions on the following folders, Documents and Settings, programs, %systemroot%, %systemroot%\Addins, %SystemRoot%\Connection Wizard according to that of the kb article, suddenly we are having printing fun. According to a previous post we updated everyones RDP client to vs 5.2 because certain users at a remote location where not able to transfer their local printers to the Terminal Server sessions. After updating the RDP client they were then able to print. Now after changing the permissions on the above folders, users establishing an RDP session, their printers transfer to the terminal server but they can print. The print job redirect hits the remote PC but then just disappears. If I assign the user administrator rights they can suddenly print. Obviously I don't want to give everyone administrator rights so I'm wondering what permissions are needed to fix this issue? Again assistance is so much appreciated. thanks.

    - Compare two SBS boxes We have two SBS boxes installed in two different branches of our company. The setup of two SBS were made in hardwares almost 100% identical (Dell PowerEdger 1600). As the two machines were installed in different moments and by different people, we believed that they have different configurations. Respecting the characteristics that are own of each installation of SBS (domain name, users accounts, users files and folder, etc), Exist some tool or tip to compare the two boxes and detect the differences? Maybe to compare with a third installation, 100% clean and to detect the differences? (ISA rules, DNS and DHCP, Windows configurations, etc) The Objective is to have the configurations the most similar possible. Differences into Registry, INI files, configuration files, version of DLLs. I understand that the task is not easy. Maybe impossible. Maybe the simplest way is reinstall the boxes starting from the zero, writing down and following the same steps in the two branches. Does anybody have some different idea?

    - ISA and Sonicwall Hi, a big pat on the back for whoever can help me here? I have an SBS2K ISA server with 2 NICs on separate IP ranges. The external NIC connects to a Sonicwall at the outskirts of my network. The internal NIC connects to the corporate LAN. I want to use the Sonicwall Global VPN client for remote users to connect into the internal network. What is the best way of achieving this as the VPN will terminate at the network between the Sonicwall and the external NIC of the ISA server and we need the users to be able to access the corporate LAN?

    - Strange Defragmentation Issue Hello I hope everyone is doing great. I have a file server that just does file sharing. When I defrag the system drive where the OS is loaded it is fine. But when I defrag the data drive, the server becomes unresponsive. through a terminal or console session. This is a Windows 2003 Server. Nothing else is loading except for the virus scan. Just a plain server. Any ideas anyone? Thanks. Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164280

    - Adding disks to a Raid array We are running SBS 2000 with a raid-5 array. The array is partitioned into "C", "E" and "F" drives and the vendor (Dell) added its own partition for emergency boots. We bought additional drives which exactly match the original drives with the intention of expanding the "C" drive and adding an additional drive. We understand that there is a limit of 4 partitions and can live with that, however we were given to believe that the disk management software would allow expanding the partitions, but it doesn't. Server Magic is one option, but $450 is too pricey for one- time use and rebuilding the system is not an option. Can you offer any other possibilities? Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164279

    - default permissions revisited Not sure about this one but it kind of doesn't seem normal to me so anyone who has words of wisdom, it's muchly apprecaited. For some reason the root of C: has one permission set, everyone / full control. Seems scary to me and I don't know how it exactly happened but I have suspicisions. Is there anywhere changes to permissions are logged and by whom? I have TID's and documents suggested in a previous post but they don't say much regarding the root of C except to say adjust as necessary. I can't imagine root of C: everyone/full access is necessary. Suggestions? Thanks again. Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164272

I can work fine with databases etc on the same server, but to go beyond the server, the 10.0.0.0/24 address needs to be translated into a 192.168.254.0/28 I have excluded from the NAT pool the outside interface of the sbs server which is 192.168.254.7/28 . When I enable the basic firwall and disable it after it works again for a while. I think because then all NAT entries are cleared. Any ideas ?

    - Renamed Admin Accounts 30 min Delayed Login to Client Workstations Good-evening everyone, I posted this earlier and several people tried to help me out. I was wonder if someone can help me out with Windows Small Business Server 2000 domain controller and client desktop logon with administrator account. I have a domain controller which has been in operation for quite some time. The original administrator account has been renamed for security as is all our other clients ever since the beginning of the server's life span. But when I try to use the account to login to any client machine joined to the domain, whether it be a new install or not, the system stalls at Loading profile and settings.... window, but the mouse is still active, and the blue animated line on the window still scrolls. When I remove the Home Folder of the administrator account it works fine. But when I add back the home folder it fails. The Home Folder is a network share. After waiting for 30 min or so, the login succeeds and all the mappings are correct. I have a feeling that the login is trying to query the AD for this property and is not returning the value of the Home Folder. I can of course still login to the Server and login to server using Terminal Services with this renamed administrator account. Any help would be great. Thanks. Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164259

    - Pcanywhere & isa I have pcanywhere set up on a client behind my isa server. The client ip is 10.0.0.25 my enternal ip is 10.0.0.1 my external network is 192.168.5.1 and my router is 192.168.5.0. The question: is it possible in isa2000 to port forward from the internet to the client so he can access his desktop at work? Isa hides the internal network from the external one so i can't work out where or how to go about getting this to work. i can pcanywhere to the server ok but its getting through the darn server to the client i need to see his ip address to connect. Thanks Adam. Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164257

    - Shared fax problems Has anyone experienced problems with MS Shared Fax? We are experiencing major problems with receiving faxes. Sometimes we receive a partial fax may 3 of 10 pages the next time we receive the same fax we receive 6 of 10. Then sometimes it will say succesfully recieved 4 pages, but the fax was actually 5 pages and the second page is missing. Our customers are constantly having to resend the faxes. However some faxes we receive without any glitch. I don't understand this and it is a major issue. Please help. Thanks, JH Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164255

    - Login bypass Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to bypass the login password on a windows XP workstation when they want to get to domain. The reason behind, I have a SBS 2003 and few workstations and a printer connected to domain. Since this is a public place like a Library I don't want the users to log on whenever they turn on the computer or whenever they want to print to the printer. Please advise.

    - Backing up a workstation Is there a way to get NTBackup on an SBS2000 server to back up a workstation, short of setting the entire workstation's drive as shared? I have upgraded workstation hardware by running backup from the workstation and saving backup file to the server, but this time we are upgrading the workstation from W98 to XP (finally) abd my understanding is that XP's backup will not restore from a file made by W98's backup, so I need to use the Backup from the server. Is there a relatively easy way to do this. Thanks, Dave Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164239

    - Exch2k Rejecting External "Internal" Emails Hi group, hope you can help with this one (maybe 2 problems?)....SBS2k (almost fully patched :), Exch2k, etc. etc., setup right off the whitepapers.... We have POP3 email addresses at our ISP for our on-the-road salesmen. These external email addresses are not set up in our internal Exchange environment, even though the email addresses have the format of salesman@emaildomain.com. When we send an email from our internal Exchange server to one of the salesman, Exchange has an "unresolved" recipient, so based on our SMTP settings the email is forwarded to our ISP's mail.emaildomain.com, where the messages find their way to the right salesman's POP3 account. This has worked great for many months. However, beginning this morning, Exchange is refusing to forward the emails and is issuing the following error: salesman1@emaildomain.com' on 9/8/2004 11:11 AM You do not have permission to send to this recipient. For assistance, contact your system administrator. <sol.serverdomain.local #5.7.1 smtp;550 5.7.1 me@email.com> Access not allowed There were no changes made on the server, no change to Exchange's config, backups running fine, other emails - no problems, and the ISP is fine. Can you all think of a reason why these would suddenly stop working? I don't know if this is related, but during diagnosis I did locate an Exchange warning-level Application Event Log entry that started 3 weeks ago. It is issued twice per day (first time 8/18 12:01AM, second time12:02 PM) and has reissued approximately one-half hour later each day since (today the first warning today was issued at 11:01 AM, the second will probably be issued at 11:02 PM tonight). Here it is: "MSExchangeIS Mailbox Store, MTA Connections, Event 2000. Verify that the Microsoft Exchange MTA service has started. Consecutive ma-open calls are failing with error 3051." Sure enough the "Microsoft Exchange MTA Stacks" service is Stopped. Am I hosed? Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164238

    - new server Hi We currently are running SBS2000. This server also acts as our file server and we are slowly running out of room (it is also somewhat old). I was looking into buying a new server to act as our file server (so the current SBS would just manage the domain/email etc). I was on the dell website and noticed you could buy a server with SBS2003 for about the same price as windows server 2003. That being said, is it fairly easy to move the current SBS2000 to a new server that has SBS2003? We are also running a seperate webserver through the SBS2000 so I would also need to transfer all the ISA2000 settings etc. Has anyone ever done this? Is it fairly straight forward? In your opinion, what would you do? Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164236

    - User As Local Administrator on Laptop Hello, SBS2K, WinXP. I have a user that I set up with a domain profile on the SBS. He logs into his laptop both in the office and on the road. He is not able to do some things on the laptop, such as defrag, because he does not have the privileges. I wanted to allow him to be part of the Administrators group on his local PC, but when I went into the Local Users and Groups on the laptop, his profile is not there. I assume it is because he has a domain account and logs into it, not the local PC. That said, how can I make him part of the Administrators group only on his PC. I looked in Member Of tab of his domain account via Active Directory, but didn't see anything. Is this something that has to be set via Group Policy? Also, after I make these changes, how can I get his profile to update? He is currently out of the office and will be for a few more days. He does have the VPN connection to the network set up. Can I do something like with GPO where you connect through the VPN and run GPUpdate? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Chris Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164234

    - problems adding client licenses.... We have a Windows 2000 SBS server and an add'l Windows 2003 (standard) server. The win2K3 OS came with 5 licenses. We purchased an add'l 5 licenses to install. When I log on to the win2k3 server locally using the administrator account and attempt to add licenses, I get an error message stating that the "license logging service is not running on the target machine, or the target machine is not accessible". When I check the service in question, it has been disabled and can not be started. I then tried loggin on to teh win2k3 server using my domain admin account and was able to add a "new license" using the Licensing app in control panel. But when I click the client tab and select the win2k3 server in our domain, once again, I get the above listed error... How do I go about adding client licenses (server mode) to the win2k3 member server? Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164233

    - How to measure traffic Can someone please give me an idea on how to measure the outgoing internet traffic from the server. We're running SBS2003 standard. We seem to be using a bit of bandwidth and I just want to see what is happening. Our ISP says that it seems to be a lot of traffice from port 110, we have exchange setup and works ok. There doesn't seem to be anything in the queue that could be causing problems. Does SBS have something inbuilt that I can use or is there a free basic 3rd party product that I can use. Any help would be appreciated. many thanks Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164206

    - Shared fax question I am trying to implement a shared fax situation where I can receive two faxes and send a fax at the same time. I thought I could do this by adding 2 USB modems and 1 PCI modem to the server. Unfortunately it seems as though I can only get 1 of the USB modems to work at a time. If I try to use the other it simply does not respond, is their a known limitation to this? Is there a solution? How would a multi port serial PCI card work? Also, if I need to dial a 9 to obtain an outside line for these modems, where do I set this option? On the server under Phone & Modem Options, or must it be done on the client? Any & all help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, James Hernandez Tag: ethernet LAN Tag: 164194

A spoof attack occurs when an IP address that is not reachable via the interface on which the packet was received.
