    - Outlook 2002/Exchange - "Object could not be found" problem I am running Small Business Server 2000 w/Exchange 2000, Outlook(XP) 2002 SP2 and IE6 SP1. When I attempt to send a message from IE6 using the Tools, Mail and News pull down menu and then New Message, Send a Link, or Send Page...when I select any one of the 3 options, I get an error dialog box that says Microsoft Exchange at the top and inside the box it says: The Object could not be found. I can send mail from every where else except IE6. This problem occured after installing, for Outlook 2002, either SP1, SP2 or the security updates from the Office Updates on Microsoft website. I downloaded all of these updates and applied each before using this feature from IE6.0. My email is amelick@compsosinc.com Thanks Tag: Can not install downloaded critcal updates Tag: 119727

    - moving exchange 2k mailboxes from SBS to full server 2000 My appologies in advance if this has been covered already, I looked through the archive. We've got exchange 2k working well on SBS. A separate server 2k (full) (duh) is happy as a backup dc. I have the Exchange 2000 Move Server Method instructions, all 23 steps, they seem to make sense. However I am wondering how SBS is going to react to changing the 5 FSMO roles (step 14). Also the last few steps concern demoting the current dc, I suspect this should not be attempted until we are ready to turn SBS off. Does anyone have any experience in this situation? Thanks in advance for any input! Mike Schomburg Tag: Can not install downloaded critcal updates Tag: 119699

    - ISDN Dialup Ok, Heres the problem. SBS 2000,all latest packs and patches applied, one nic, internal isdn card for net and e- mail. No problem connecting, e-mail is fine on all clients. Web access is the problem. Sometimes you get a home page up sometimes not. If you are successful and get web access it does not last more than a few pages before getting timeout messages from ISA Server. Even though the connection is still up. Hope this makes sense. Any help appreciated. thanks, BB Tag: Can not install downloaded critcal updates Tag: 119689

    - FYI: Secure logon from public kiosk machines...really bad idea. Imagine this: You're traveling for business, and for one reason or another, you need to access your work PC. You've thought ahead and installed remote-access software on your desktop system, so you're able to control it remotely from any machine with Internet Explorer or Netscape. You head to the nearest Kinko's, log on to the Net from one of the PCs there, and take care of your business remotely. Works great, right? Not this time. Once you return to the office, you find you've indirectly caused a security breach. It turns out a hacker gleaned your password by logging your keystrokes on that Kinko's PC and used the info to break into your company's network. http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-3513-5053016.html yes, they are talking about GoToMyPC as well here.

    - SBS 2000 initiated Internet traffic causing $300+ ISDN bill - Help! I recently replaced an old Novell server with SBS 2000. I just got my phone bill for my ISDN line (I don't have access to DSL or cable) and it was over $300 (instead of $75-$80). I suspect something in SBS 2000 is connecting to the internet every 15 minutes or so day and night. I have a Netopia ISDN router that connects to my ISP on demand and drops the connection after 5 minutes of no traffic. Formerly all workstations sent DNS requests directly to ISP, now they go to Sever 2000, and it forwards them on to ISP. (so DNS seems to be one suspect.) I use Exchange's POP3 connecter, but have it set up to check mail only twice a day, so it can't be that. I have disabled Windows Update yesterday, but the router still shows about 20 hours a day on connection time! Can you think of anything else in Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 that would connect to the Internet often? Thanks in advance for any help.

    - Router Long post, sorry BAH! I can't reuse my old router with the new cable modem. =( I'm in the market for a new router and would like some input from everyone on what they have had good experience with. I already know the next question: What are you trying to do with it? Here goes. Running SBS2000 and in the past have had it locked down tighter than me trying to get into jeans from high school. Not because I'm some security guru, actually quite the opposite. It was locked down because I didn't know how to open things safely. So what I HAD was a DSL Router that grabbed a dynamic IP from the ISP, hit an internal hardware firewall, ran it through NAT into ISA, then to the client. When doing a port probe the entire setup would show up as 'stealth'. (tested using the GRC probe test, not a favorite by all) All we used the DSL for was Internet and retrieval of Pop3 mail Via the connector. Thats where we were. Here's where we are/want to go: We now have a 2Mb/768Kb connection via Cable with a static IP. As mentioned, my old router (Flowpoint) won't work with the new cable modem. When I plug the new modem into my WAN NIC on SBS I can get it running, however despite setting up packet filters to block 80 and 443 they show as wide open using the port probe test. I figure with a decent router I can block those ports or turn them off to a DMZ machine. My hope is that we can use this new static IP for all the toys we've been avoiding to this point: VPN, Outlook Web Access, SMTP. So I need a router that will allow me to use these services without needing to buy additional software, stand on my head, and chant various incantations in reverse. Options I've (lightly) investigated: Netgear FVS318. appears it only supports 8 connections via VPN with a netgear on both sides and additional software. Linksys BEFSX41. only supports 2 VPN connections. Heard 'ify' reviews of Linksys in general. The Catch: Like many of you, we are a small business. Under 20 people. We don't have dedicated IT staff, we don't have an official "IT" budget. While I understand the 2 products I mentioned are very 'residential' type products, I don't have a bottomless pit of money to go by a Cisco router and the tech that goes with it. Despite that, we DO want to invest in the right product for our needs. If that means I need to spend more than $150, then I will. Thanks for any/all input.

    - New SBS Server - How To Change Over?? Hi, I've purchased a new all singing, all dancing server and want to transfer everything over. I could rebuild the new one, which would mean I'd need to recreate the root of the domain (is that right) or can I just backup the original and restore absolutely everything to the new one?? I'm a bit hazy on this solution and could do with some advice. If I do the latter option, do I need the same drive structure (identical partitions etc) please help Regards, Tommy Addison Tag: Can not install downloaded critcal updates Tag: 119627

    - Security audit failures and Thanks!! Firstly - big props to Jann, Chad and David for confirming the server attacks prob in an earlier post. Thanks for the good advice - nice to have a hand climbing this bloody steep learning curve! Am battenning down the hatches on the server, so to speak, today. Another quick one (I hope): Security Log in Admin Console showing multiple Security audit failures for a number of workstations on the network. Error code looks something like this: Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: Security Event Category: Directory Service Access Event ID: 565 Date: 7/29/2003 Time: 9:36:32 AM User: <My Network Name>\STINGRAY11$ Computer: GROUPER01 Description: I'm pretty sure I caused this to start happening, by going into WINS and farting about (read deleting) some records that had expired (or so I thought!). Have tried scavenging the WINS database, and finally ended up replacing with a fresh one so that it would reload - which worked, except I can't seem to get the security audits to stop failing. There seems to be a familar pattern emerging here - mess about with something...crash it...mess about some more...scratch head...ask for help! Thanks in advance (again!) Matt.

    - Cant logon / WINS / DNS Our client says his server went down overnight due to powercuts (even though he has UPS on it) partway through his backup and now most of the workstations can't logon. The 2 XP workstations seem able to logon but all the Windows 98 machines (about 5 of them) bar 1 can't logon. "The domain password you supplied is incorrect or access to your logon server has been denied" I have noticed the following problems that might be related: WINS console says "Cannot find WINS server" "The network address is invalid", although the wins service is running and according the the status page is responding. Deleting and restarting WINS.mdb etc has not helped. Event Viewer: System log shows a number of event 5775 DNS deregistration errors for what appears to be the global catalog. DNS log shows an error "DNS could not open the active directory" I have tried to recreate the DNS zone in accord with KB294328 but the global catalog and other microsoft info does not get recreated. This did not solve the WINS error above anyway. All workstations seem to be able to ping the server successfully using ip address and name. pinging the server name gives the correct ip address. BTW. DNS was failing the 2 tests in the console but I checked the DNS server on the 2nd NIC (internet) and it was set to 127.0.0.1 instead of 192.168.16.2, changing that seems to have fixed that problem. It sounds to me like DNS/AD is corrupted somehow but I am not sure what to do next. Any help much appreciated please. -- Darwood - MCP, MCSE Tag: Can not install downloaded critcal updates Tag: 119561

    - Many backup/restore questions Can somebody explain to me (in plain english) what's the problem with doing a bare metal restore??? I don't mean the background and/or the problems that occurs when you do it (I think the numerous posts *read epics* by Jeff already cover this). What I mean is: What is exactly considered a Bare-Metal restore? Let's see if I'm correct... -Backup an SBS server (System State/Exchange) -Reformat the SBS server -Reinstall the SBS suite -Restore System State/Exchange from Backup And this is not supposed to work? The reason I'm asking is because I want to practice some disaster recovery scenarios with a non-production server... but I want to ask how it is done before I start messing around it (I will not use Ghost or any imaging software). If I'm correct in the previous scenario... how do you setup the server again? Do I have to use all the same values as I used in the original server i.e. domain name... all the stuff that you enter when you install SBS. At what point of the SBS installation the restore is performed??? At the end? After the Win2k portion? Where? Also, when you do this kind of restore what happens with the server's SID??? BTW, can somebody point me out where I can find information on what is backed-up in system state? Sorry for the long post... I know most of the questions are pretty basic.

    - Connection Issues with SBS and workstations Windows 2000 Server and Workstation Connection Issue - I have a DELL Poweredge 2600 with RAID and 2GB RAM running Small Business Server 2000, service pack 4. The name of the server is "FILESERVER" I know it is not the best naming convention but I have inherited it. It is on the IP network of 192.168.1.1, the workstations use 192.168.1.100-199 and the printers use 192.168.1.50-60. I have a Netgear DG814 Router as 192.168.1.10 and all workstations and the server have this as a gateway. DHCP assigns all the ip addresses and the DNS servers are both external DNS addresses. ns4.pacific.net au and ns2.pacific.net.au. I do not have 192.168.1.1 as a DNS server in DHCP or on the server itself. I have Exchange Server 2000 and SQL server 2000 also running on this server. All latest service packs have been applied. The domain is called "SYDNEY", each workstation has several mapped drives that come through with the login scripts I am a MCP and 2 exams from my MSCE. I have a collection of Optiplex GX260 workstations accessing this server. the problem is this. 1. If I have 192.168.1.1 as a Primary DNS server, I cannot browse the network. If I have the external DNS addresses as Primary DNS servers, I cannot run outlook to the exchange server. 2. If I type "ping fileserver" I get an external IP address, I believe most of problems lie here. If I use the HOSTS file it is sometimes ignored by the workstations. If I go to the hosts file, open it and re- save it, the workstation identifies FILESERVER correctly as an internal IP address. As soon as the person reboots or even logs of and logs on without rebooting, the problem reverts itself back to 3. On the workstation, if I use explorer to look at the network, I cannot browse past the fileserver. however if I have mapped drive open from explorer on a different window, I can now browse the network fileserver and printers with no trouble. It is like I have to have a session open to the fileserver to have any real access. 4. The drive mappings are dropping in and out, one minute I can browse the mapped drives, the next minute they have a red cross and are telling me that they are unavailable. Clicking a few more times on the mapped drive show that the drive is in fact there. 5. The DG814 drops out quite a lot and has to be rebooted, but the server causes this to happen. I have to reboot the server as well as the router to get a connection back. The server shows MANY (4,000,000,000 and rising at 4K a second) times more outgoing packets that downloading packets and this counter seems to get larger and larger. if I disconnect the server, the router activity stops, reconnect the server and the activity starts again. Reboot the router and the server and they behave themselves for about 2 hours and then it all starts again. So what have I done to test. a) I have replaced the network card b) I have replaced the router c) I have replaced the Hubs d) I have replaced the cabling to the server. e) I have installed WINS, hoping to fix some of the resolving issues f) I have screwed around with DNS, and may have made it worse I am getting close to wiping the system and starting again, but have too much invested in the install procedures.

    - utilising ISDN with VPN hi.. in most's experience, what is the best way to utilise ISDN in conjunction with VPN. OR is it the case of just going the direct dial route rather than thru an IP to IP connection Tag: Can not install downloaded critcal updates Tag: 119455

    - Is it possible to demote a SBS 2000 server normally? Our business is growing and we would like to remove exchange and demote the SBS 2K server to a regular member server . Is this possible, and what would the procedure be? Is the same as a regular 2000 server.? I am asking because SBS is kind of "proprietary" and doesn't let you do certain things. Thanks.

    - incoming dial up connections Hi, This may not be the correct for this post but as i have had so many good answers in this group before i thought i would give it a try here. I am using a windows 2000 client pc at one site bit want to be able to dial into our windows 20000 server at our main HQ. I have done the following on the Windows 2000 server at HQ: Mycomputer > controlPanel > Network & DialUp Connections > Make New connection > Accept Incoming Connections. I then select the modem on the server and create a user name and password for the user who will be dialing into the server. Is this all i need to do for the user to dial into the main HQ windows 2000 server? The way i take it to work is this: Our company has a telephone number of of 0161-XXX-XXXX. Therefore, I need the server to have the modem cable connected to the phone line. I then create a new dial up connection on the client PC. I create the dial up number as 0161-XXX-XXXX. This will then dial directly into the server. Am i write to assume what i am doing is correct or am i missing something? Cheers for all who reply, much appreciated.

    - VPN and outlook Currently we have a normal SBS2000 setup with ISA using VPN to connection to server from outside. When using the VPN, accessing drives and files work fine however if I try to use outlook it is kinda flaky. I can usally connect only after a fresh VPN login but if I close ooutlook and then open it again I cannot get to the mail. Usally I have to restart the computer in order for the mail to work again. I can ping all the workstations and the server while connected as well. Connection consists of 1024/1024 on server side and road runner/dsl on client side. Any ideas Thanks Eddie Tag: Can not install downloaded critcal updates Tag: 119392

Stop Exchange and other 3rd party services, but better yet, use hfnetchk.
