    - Upgrade SQL7-SQL2000 w/sbs I recently upgraded a W2K/SQL7 server to SBS2000. During the installation it picked up the exisiting SQL installation and seemed to install correctly. However after typing SQL Query Analyzer and ran a version query (select @@version) and got the following results: Microsoft SQL Server 7.00 - 7.00.1063 (Intel X86) Apr 9 2002 14:18:16 Copyright (c) 1988-2002 Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition on Windows NT 5.0 (Build 2195: Service Pack 4) Any ideas?

    - AOL Bouncing through SBS Has anyone had a problem with AOL mail bouncing back to the SBS servers?

    - Internal Web Server I have recently changed from a linux router to a cisco SOHO router. I knew nothing about Linux so that is why I changed. Since I have switched to the cisco I have been unable to get to the web server internally using the domain name. I can get there with the ip address. I unplugged the router and still was unable to get to the web page using the domain name. I put a www host record in my dns and put the web servers IP address in it. I am still unable to get to it using the domain name. This is the first dns record i have put in so I am not sure if I have it correct. Thanks Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117495

    - Problems with .exe files! Hi, My name's Pedro, I have an SBS2000 server and last week it got infected with two viruses: PE_Parite.A and PE_Parite.B. We cleaned the computer, but now we can't find some .exe files. The backup application can't run because it's missing its .exe file. Other applications that are not working in the Administrative Tools are ODBC, Telnet, and Terminal Services Manager. In the Small Business Server Administrator Console, the IIS can't find its .exe file. I just wanted to know if there was a way to restore our Server without having to format it, again. Can I install those services without having to format the server? Or can any one tell me where to find the .exe files in the CDs so that I could do a 'copy and paste'? Thanks in advance!

    - POP3 Connector with Dialup I setup my first client with a modem for Internet access. All my other clients had broadband access but this one is out in the middle of nowhere, so I had no choice. I ran through the ICW and choose the correct settings as far as I know. The users were able to send email but couldn't receive. From the server, I couldn't connect to the ISP's POP3 server. Figured that was the reason so made a Packet Filter in ISA to allow outbound TCP 110. Once I was able to telnet to the POP3 server on port 110 from the server, then it was able to pull down email. Did I miss something in the ICW or is this how it is supposed to be done? Rick in the Midwest Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117379

    - Outlook Profiles Why does the Outlook profiles get created automatically and then other times it doesn't? I just setup a new network with 5 computer that are exactly the same. We purchased Office XP Standard through Open License and I installed that identical to every computer. But 3 out of 5 of them doesn't create a Outlook profile when a user logs on. You have to go through the Outlook profile wizard every time. But on the other computers, it gets configured automatically. Where is this setting stored at, so I can take a look and see if I can fix it? Rick in the Midwest P.S. Office was installed from the CD at the local workstation. It was not installed from the server. Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117377

    - It finally hit me. Slow network drive browsing from an XP Pro client Oh no. I thought I avoided this one. Browsing one my SBS servers is very slow. User opens up My Computer, clicks on the mapped drive, and the contents show about 15 seconds later. About 300 folders in this directory. My XP Pro clients are SP1. Server is SP1 with ISASP1. This is a new server so I have not patched it with any critical updates yet so I am hoping that is my problem, that this is a common issue that will be fixed by downloading patches via Windows Update. Please tell me I am right. Or am I assuming and you know what happens. Thanks JohnJ Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117355

    - Memory Question, do I have enough free? SBS2000, SP1. Looking at my free memory, and it is 57% or 883 MB total is 1.5 gig. Is this low? Is the rest overhead? Two 73 scsi drives, 1 internal tape drive. What is using all my memory. My Pagefile is 1.5 times my physical ram and the page file is located on a seperate partition on the drive. What do you think? This is with NO users connected to it, just my terminal services session active. Thanks JohnJ Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117347

    - Antivirus Question, do I need exchange agent in this situation? One of my clients did not want her POP3 settings changed. All email is coming down from the ISP. Her choice. But we are going to use SMTP in Exchange for mail going out. When I ran ICW, I am using SMTP for Exchange, don't change POP3. Have Symantec Corporate Edition loaded 8.1, just real time scanning on the server, excluding the Exchange files as recommended by MS and Symantec Do I need the Exchange agent, which she paid for, in this situation since my client wants the virus duties done at the client? She knows that the server is not blocking executible that might have viruses but here users are pretty computer savy, I am understanding. She just want the Server to manage the clients. I understand the real time scanning scans anything coming through ISA anyway so Exchange might be too much. That the Server side of things scan everything written to the server HD, no matter what it is. What do you think? JohnJ Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117344

    - ISA Problems Hi On one of our other remote servers we have just installed adsl, unfortunately we could not get the SBS administrator console snapin to initialise so we could not run the internet connection wizard. I went into the ISA configuration and removed the tick box for use dialup and have updated the LAT with the IP addresses for the router. I then rebooted the server and everything seemed fine i.e. everyone had fast broadband internet access. Patting my self on the back for a job well done (i should not have been so smug!) I left site. 4 hours later I received a call telling me that no one could no longer access the internet. I got them to reboot the router but to no avail. In desperation I asked them to reboot the server which sorted the problem. Well that wwas for a dew hours anyway. I contacted BT (the ISP) as we could no longer ping the router theny told me that there was a lot of traffic passing through the router and this was causing the problem. I got them to disconnect the machines on the network one by one until the traffic stopped. This occured when the server was disconnected. I suspected that they may have a virus such as code red so i got them to check that the AV was fully updated and asked them to do a virus scan. This turned up no viruses. I have installed tcp view to see if anything is causing this problem but nothing seems to be amiss. I can only think that it is something that was done in the ISA configuration. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117317

    - SBS Down - and I'm not too happy either. I have come across an install of SBS 2K that seems to have become somewhat of a pigs breakfast after who know woho did what. First issue is that it takes 10+ minutes to boot up. Second is that a bunch of services like the Shared Fax service, ICW and others show as shutting down immediatly after the bootup, and stay that way till the next reboot. ( there are no errors in the error log ) Services themselves cannot be stopped or their mode (Auto / Manual / Disableed) changed. Components like the Fax service won't uninstall with an error message that the Install server failed to respond ( Install Server ??? ) so I can try a reinstall. Computers on the Lan all loose their connection for a moment when certain computers are turned off. ( Browser service is disabled on all workstations which are Win 2K ) - this is deadly to their Database based applications. Could all of this be related ??? Any ideas as to where to begin on a diagnostic/repair stratergy ? ( .... bearing in mind that the system no longer recognises the Travan Backup device either. ) TIA for any and all constructive comments, .....or humerous ones that may lift my spirits. -- Henry Craven ...who should have stayed holidaying in the sun. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - Oooops...cant connect to XP remotely Having problems on a site that all access to network shares asks for a username and password (all pcs), as if its not authenticated on domain, put in details even administrator and share not availble, however internet OK and Exchange. Using VNC from server, thought I would take out domain and rejoin..rebooted and I can just see (metaphorically) that VNC window asking for a password you know when you first install (in a different profile now so VNC thinks its a new install) now cant connect. You guessed it remote desktop not switched so cant even go that way... Any ideas on original problem ?

    - upgrading from NT 4.0 w/ Exchange 5.5 to sbs 2000 I am trying to move my 5.5 data over to Exchange 2000. I have an exchange 2000 book and it says to upgrade your nt 4.0 server to Win 2000 and move the users with the ADC. Then, migrate the exchange users with the migration wizard and then run the AD clean up wizard to merge the two together. I have migrated the exchange data over with the migration tool but I cannot upgrade my NT 4.0 server to Win 2000 because my Exchange server is on my NT 4.0 DC server. I have tried creating new users close to the same name as my Exchange 5.5 users and running the AD clean up wizard on them to combine them and it seemed to work but I cannot log on to the domain with a user I have done this to. I am able to log on to the domain with the administrator account so I know its got to be an issue with the users I have gotten from Exchange 5.5. Does anyone have any ideas!!!???

    - smallbizserver.net Hi, I was looking for the tips and tricks section on smallbizserver.net but the site has been redesigned and I can no longer find it, nor could I find a search box. (looks good though!) I inhereted an SBS2K shop that has a multitude of problems, many DNS related such as domain named .com instead of .lan or .local and I think the servers ip address has changed causing lots of dns errors in the event log.

    - SBS Configuration Hi, Wonder if anyone can settle an arguement I'm having. I've got a client running SBS 2000 on a clone server, spec: P4 2.4 Ghz (single) 1Gb Memory 2x 36Gb Ultra-160 SCSI II mirrored (software, not RAID). running about 12 users, possibly expanding to 25 in the next few years. Currently only Exchange and Win2k are installed. Does anyone see any issues installing SQL Server on here for an approx 100Mb database? Currently memory usage is high, Pervasive SQL is installed to run another application although CPU usage is quite low (less that 5% typically). Is there anything I can use other than task mgr or perfmon to show just how little the server is being used and that this upgrade shouldn't be a problem? (as an aside there is also another server 'specified' to run a seperate Pervasive SQL DB which is running dual Xeon's, 2Gb of memory, a RAID-5 array and is spending more time virus scanning the SQL directory than it is actually doing any database work - opinions on this also appreciated...) Any help appreciated, Russell. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- Tag: help needed - urgent!

    - Forced to change Internal IP Address? Hello, I have a multi-homed sbs2000 installation. These days, the only item on the external nic is a legacy unix system (address = 192.9.200.3, 255,255,255,0). I would like to get everyting on the same subnet, so i can set up my internet router on the external card (via the isa server) If i could change the internal nic on the sbs to (say) 192.9.200.2, i could have the unix server and the sbs on the same subnet. I have read the article How do I change the internal IP address on SBS2000? - Wayne Small on www.sbsfaq.com and this seems ok. Could someone confirm that my proposed address is a valid "private" one? Any other comments would be most welcome... thanks stephen Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117076

    - Terminal Services, Shared Fax and Group Contacts Hi, I have a client running TS on their SBS2k box. All is good.....until the try to fax from it. I have setup shared fax and outlook/exchange profiles for the users which works just fine. However. When they try to fax and pull a fax number from the public folders, it doesn't happen....They can't see any of the public folders from within TS shared fax (and YES they are set to view as an outlook address book). If trying to access the public folders via outlook on the TS, everything is fine. Please note that shared fax/TS/Group contacts works just fine if they are using their local PC, but on the TS it does not. Any ideas???? I would be most grateful to anyone who can help solve it.

    - Outgoing mail specific domain Hi all, We've setup a SBS2000 with exchange. Everything works fine however we have a small problem. Our customer does not have a own domain, so we use a free mailprovider zonnet.nl. In the SMTP setting for the user we therefore use smtp: @zonnet.nl. We can send and receive mail fine with these settings however we cannot mail to other zonnet users. So if we mail to user@zonnet.nl it doens't work, e.g. user@planet.nl works fine. Can anyone help us out here, for we do not understand why this is happening. Thnx, Luc Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117058

    - Mail problems. I have recently had a problem with my SMTP mail. I had a look in the SMTP queue going from my server it looked as if someone had managed to send a load of messages from an address which is not associated with system. I have followed the Article "HOW TO: Block Open SMTP Relaying and Clean Up Exchange Server SMTP Queues on SBS 2000". I could not connect using telnet to SMTP which I presume rules that out as a possible vulnerability. Has anyone got any ideas as to how this attack occured and how I could go about preventing future attacks. DG Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117038

    - 4.5 to 2003 My last SBS 4.5 client has finally commited to upgrading. They've purchased the SBS 2000 upgrade, and taken out Software Assurance for SBS 2003. I know (hope) that SBS 2003 won't be too long now, and only a priveleged few are likely to have sufficient information to take a guess at the answer, but: is it necessary to first upgrade to 2000 as an intermediate step to 2003, or will it be possible to go directly from 4.5 to the 2003 installation? It just saves some work and unnecessary downtime if we can do 1 upgrade instead of 2. TIA. Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117037

    - intermittent problems connecting client machines to SBS2k's Exchange mailboxes Hi, I've encounter intermittent problems when I want to connect to the exchange server via client machines running on win98se. Sometimes it connects and I can see the mailbox, sometimes it doesn't. And on Apple macintosh running OS9, I can only connect if I set it to use Appletalk as the protocol and not TCP/IP. OWA works perfectly fine. Has anyone encounter this problem before? Also, I didn't enable the DNS server on the sbs2k server because I have another machine which runs the DNS.

    - Automatic updates on SBS box still failing - can someone walk me through what is required please Ok. SBS box was switched from single nic to dual nic + adsl router setup a few weeks back. Client auto updates were failing until I added https throughput in ISA protocol rules. SBS server auto updates continue to fail. I have added similar https throughput in ISA packet filters to see if this clears things? What else should I be looking for. cheers, Robin Tag: help needed - urgent! Tag: 117017

ok, posted this once before and got no responses.
really, really need help here...

Ok, trying to set up dial-in access. The WAN VPN works
fine using IP after I have connected to an ISP on the
client, but I can't connect directly from the client via
modem. I receive the error 913: "a remote access client
attempted to connect over a port that was reserved for
routers only."

The article I found in the knowledge base
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;262357) doesn't help. It says: Click Ports, and then
click Properties on the Action menu.
Click the appropriate port (L2TP, Modem, PPTP, LPT1, and
so on), and then click Configure.
Click to select the Remote access connections (inbound
only) check box, and then click OK.

There is no "properties" on the action menu and no place
to configure the port as far as I can tell.

Is there something in IAS that I need to change or what?
What am I missing here?

TIA!!
