    - What to choose? Hello, We have limited knowledge of servers and software today. We ever managed to install NT SBS 4.5 and we are willing to do this again with new server and software. We are not complete i**** but we want to do it ourselves. Afaik, we run a compaq having SBS45 having NT 4.00.1381 We also run a webserver, this one is to be replaced soon. Actually we where looking for a webserver but potentially we also would like it as fileserver. This might conflict with the existing server? So for extended webservices a breed of Windows Server 2003 seems an option. But since ever the fileserver matter comes into play, i focussed on SBS 2003 instead. We have a small company (<20) Our requirements is: 1) Webserver supporting ASP (IIS?) 2) In the future able to convert our .MDB databases to sql server (in a year or so) 3) Must handly proxy 4) Windows 98 is mostly used, we have a few XP (home+server) versions. 5) We don't have this currently, we need to access outlook via internet connection, not RAS This would be VPN right? Not intended as webbased but direct access. Our current webserver is a slow machine running IIS, when we want to access the files via Windows Explorer, it can take up to 30 seconds before icons are drawn. This is a reason to use an additional server as fileserver. Question is if this is being solved when we use a computer with much mem and speed. Or is it recomendable to use a separate fileserver? If VPN comes into play, we need to access the 2nd fileserver, at this moment the webserver can not 'see' the fileserver. This is for protection. Does VPN have severe protection? How about well knowledged hackers? Thanks, Edwin Knoppert Netherlands Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149942

    - OWA Condition, connection to SBS2000 Hi all, Just so somebody else might find that info faster: Users wanted to connect to their SBS exchange mailbox via OWA from the LAN and from a different LAN (WAN connection via VPN). They constantly received the "401 Unauthorized" error after 3 login attempts. The usual suspects such as authorization issues, proxy et al (as described on the MS KB articles and others) did not solve the issue. Finally, after checking the logfiles the problem was the SMTP address of the users. During SBS install it is recommended to use something like mydomain.local for the domain name of the machine if it's not acting as a server visible to the internet. However, if another machine (such as a linux machine) is doing the mail relay and proxy services, users sometimes are set up with their smtp address being their name and the FQDN. Now to be able to access OWA for these users an additional SMTP address has to be added to their exchange profile giving their login name plus the local domain (e.g. userlogon@mydomain.local). This does not need to be the default smtp address. Just _one_ of the smtp addresses has to match the local domain and bingo. There are several solutions for this problem nicely described in http://makeashorterlink.com/?O6B815737 HTH Regards Wolfgang -- ** reply to wolfgang dot pawlinetz at chello dot at ** Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149929

    - Sharepoint services / Intranet Hi, When you install SBS 2003 it installs the Intranet in English. How do I change that (I want Finnish). I tried by downloading the Finnish version of Sharepoint services and then uninstalled the English one before installing the Finnish one. It work fine except that the end result is not the same, the SBS 2003 Intranet is based on Sharepoint services, but it has things like the Incoming Faxes that are somehow custom built on top of it. Another question is, where does the Sharepoint services save it's data (I know that discussions and the like are saved in the database back end), in particular the files and custom pages. Thanks, Petri Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149915

    - Exchange service packs How do I find out if I have the latest Exchange service pack? How do I find out if I have the latest service packs for all of SBS for that matter? I think (and that could be the problem lol) that I had downloaded and installed them all, but I wanted to re-verify. The only problem with that is I couldn't figure out how to check what service pack I had and where to check if there were any later service packs available.

    - Novarg virus and SBS2000 w/Trend Micro I have SBS2000 with TrendMicro on it, and I'm not sure if I fully understand how it works with SBS yet. Maybe I don't have it installed correctly too. I really don't know since I just got Trend Micro this month for our SBS2000 server and workstations. We had numerous e-mails come in yesterday with the Novarg virus, a user in our office (duh!) opened the attachment. So, now our server shows it's infected as well as the workstation from the status section of Trend Micro located on SBS My concern is that when Trend Micros workstation client scans the workstation, it states it doesn't find any viruses once it cleaned the infection from last night, but the server still says that the workstation is infected Am I missing something here? Are there some type of logs that need to be reset in Trend Micro on SBS Lastly, shouldn't TrendMicro have detected the virus attached to the e-mails that we were getting, and deleted them (which I what I think I have it set at) Torrey Laue Modern Travel Service Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149902

    - Multiple Modem Ports for Shared Fax Services - Answer Folks, I found my answer. Win2003 standard and SBS 2003 support up to 4 (four) modems. Win2003 Enterprise is unlimted. You can control which ones are inbound and outbound. Technical refrences are: a) Windows 2003 Administrators Companion by MS Press. b) In SBS 2003 Server Management | Fax Services | right click | then to HELP. (so simple once you find the path) The capacities of this fax server are very impressive, I suggest a good reading of this HELP file for any one deploying Shared Fax Services.(SFS) You don't need third party apps like GFI unless you have some serious enterprise needs. Simply routing fax to a mail-box and giveing access to mail-box to multiple parties solves distribution issue for any small firm. By haveing a physical fax on same phone line with SFS to be two ring answer and physical for 4 rings, one will have still have acess to phyisical fax and also backup for fax service when the server crashes. <grin> Brooktrout has a new board that I did not know of that is designed special for SBS2003 and is an FSP ( Fax Service Provider) (internal link built into help file - intertesting product placment ad !) Also help mentions adaptive modems ( they determine between voice and fax call and decide how to answer) could be valuable for DSL line user to maximuize the value of phone line. Regards, David R.

    - Where to put the web server Can someone help me with some questions I have about where to put a win2003 web server on a multihomed sbs2000 network? I wanted to put it in the DMZ to keep it isolated from the LAN but then I found out that there is an application on it that LAN users need to access. I can put the web server in the DMZ and just enable netbios over TCP/IP to allow the LAN clients access to it; but then isn't that like placing the web server on the internal network anyway? If I put the Web server on the LAN and do port forwarding to it from the SonicWall how secure will the network be with the web server on the LAN? Is there any good references that I should Look at?

    - Strange one! Hi All, I've noticed if I'm outside of my network (at home) and try and send an email through my exchange server, with an invalid account (SMTP Authentication is enabled), but address it to someone inside my network, it works and sends through. However if I send an email through my exchange server, to a different domain, with an invalid account for the (smtp auth), it's denied (which is good)! I use the SMTP authentication for remote users. How can I stop remote users trying to send emails going through my domain to users that don't exist.,wiht out a valid user account. Thanks Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149845

    - Authenitcation from remote sites smtp Hi All Simple prob I bet, I have exchange 2000 installed on a 2000 server, with ISA etc (sbs server I think) Internal users send/receive emails fine. External (remote users) also send/receive emails fine. Via outlook using SMTP The problem is external users, they can send emails even if they dont enter a password, which means anyone can send through my server! if I create a new account on my pc at home called TEST@domain.com, and enter my exchange IP address, I can send through my server to my hotmail account! AHHH this isn't good!! (open relay I think its called) I know you can specify certain machines only to access my SMTP protocol, but, the remote users IP addresses change as they use dial up. I want to make it so a password has to be entered (or stored) on the users machine in order for them to send an email through my exchange server. Whats the best solution! thanks a million Lee Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149834

    - Email assault? Our company's SBS2K exchange server is being bombarded at the rate of 1 email every 3 minutes. I receive all the undeliverable. The emails are addressed on a first name basis i.e.... bob @ gmenterprises.com. They have the company address correct, but we use first name and last name in our email. What kind of an assault is this. Each email has a file attached that is either *.pif or *.scr as an attachment (which Symantec nicely blocks). Obviously, I know it must be a virus or Trojan of some sort. Why is this assault continuing? Why so many emails? The headers do not even show common return address. -nn Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149833

    - OWA certificate issue Thanks to the well written tutorial on smallbizserver.net, I'm on the verge of rolling out OWA. In my testing, I'm running into one issue that concerns me though. When I type in the site address (123.456.789.1/exchange) The certificate window pops up as expected. I click on the view certificate, then on certification path (so I can install both certificates as described in the tutorial) and the server IP is listed at the top with an exclamation mark on it and the error "The issuer of this certificate was not able to be found." Obviously since the it can't be found it can't be installed. I thought maybe I put the certificate in an unreachable location on our website, so I copied it to a location on another site I KNOW is accessible and I get the same thing even after re-mapping the AIA line to the new source. What could be going wrong with the certificates? I can get into OWA just fine by clicking "Yes" on the do you want to proceed window, but I get the warning everytime. Any pointers? Thanks everyone.

Because these files are disk based, the Exchange server caches as much information as possible and the Store uses as much of the machine's memory as possible, up to a default maximum of approximately 858MB of RAM. The Store releases this memory when other processes need to use it. For example, on a system with 1GB of RAM, you shouldn't be surprised if the Store typically uses more than 700MB. Having hundreds of megabytes of free memory serves no purpose, so the Store simply puts available memory to good use. You can change the amount of memory that Exchange uses for its cache by carrying out the following steps (although you should fully test any such change because it might affect system performance): 1. Install the Windows 2000 or later support tools from the server OS installation CD-ROM. 2. Start the ADSI Edit utility, which is one of the support tools--go to Start, Run, and type adsiedit.msc 3. From the left-hand pane, expand the root and expand the Configuration item. 4. Expand Services (each item will be prefixed by CN=), Microsoft Exchange, the name of your Exchange organization, Administrative Groups, the name of the administrative group, Servers, the name of the server for which you want to modify the Store memory information. 5. Select the server. In the right-hand pane, you'll see a list of components that you can change. 6. Right-click CN=InformationStore, then select Properties from the context menu. 7. Select the Attribute Editor and ensure that the "Show optional attributes" option is selected. 8. Double-click "msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax." 9. Although the value appears blank, Exchange sets this value to default to 219726. The value refers to the number of 4KB sections, otherwise known as pages. The system uses 4KB increments because the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) database that Exchange uses stores data in 4KB sections. Enter a new value equal to the number of 4KB sections required. For example, to limit the Store to use 50MB of RAM, you'd enter a value of 12500 (you would never set the value this low on a production server--I'm just using it here as an example). Because of virtual address space limitations, Microsoft recommends that you enter a maximum value no larger than 307200, which is approximately 1.2GB of memory. You should typically increase the default value of 219726 only if you have more than 2GB of memory. For maximum efficiency, ensure that the value you enter is a multiple of 8192 (i.e., 2 pages). Click OK. 10. Click OK to close the InformationStore Properties dialog box, then close the ADSI Edit console window. 11. Before the change can take effect, the value for the setting you entered in Step 9 needs to replicate across the forest. After the change has replicated, you need to restart the Store on the targeted Exchange server for the change to take effect. Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149750

    - client configuration I had a laptop with W2k-pro and previuosly connected to the internet with a cable modem. I set up another pc with SBS 2000. I can get to the internet with the server and with laptop attached to my network but when I go back to my original configuration with the laptop, I can't get to the internet. I used DHCP with the cable modem and I double checked the IP settings. I used IPCONFIG /release and /renew and even rebooted. I can ping my router, the cable modem and my ISP DNS servers. I just can't get to the internet. I can't find any information on this. Is this a security issue? Thanks, John Tag: exchange filters Tag: 149743

The email boxes from my company get every day a lot of spam messages. Is it
possible to make in Exchange 2k a filter for incoming mails to look for
specific words in emails subject and to delete them if so?
