    - Unable to obtain gateway IP using DHCP I have to manually enter the gateway IP of our router in the network properties of each client XP and Win98 machine on the network. Why can't these clients automatically pick this up through the DHCP server as it does it's own IP address and the DNS server IP? Thanks, Brad Tag: installing SBS 2003 onto SBS 2000 Tag: 155747

    - New install of SBS 2000 and Exchange Our company has decided to use Exchange server instead of an ISP for our email. They have purchased a new server and SBS2k. I have created a new domain and AD and DNS are working. Now here's the two questions: 1. What's next? Install and setup Exchange or migrate users/resources from existing "other" domain? 2. Where can I find resources for installing Exchange on SBS2k? Best Practices? etc... As for that matter - the whole process of setting up a SBS2k server along with Exchange?

    - Trend AV and OWA? Hello: Maybe slightly off topic, but I searched this ng and found you all to be really helpful.. If you know of a better place to post this, please let me know. With SBS 2000, fully patched, and Trend AV CMS installed we have the following problem: OWA is not accessable from off site on the SBS server (server01)... page not found The web site, hosted on server02, a NT40 system is no longer available either. This server has been available for 5 years, through SBS 4.5 and Trend for SBS 4.5, but now it is not. Strangly, the web browser from off site just times out and stays on the current page, no messages or errors of any kind. We downloaded the CMS 2.0 for SMB from the trend web site, and of course have no instructions or manuals, so any assistance is helpful, including what folders to exclude from scanning in both the exchange and server portions of the suite. Thanks for your help. Anna Tag: installing SBS 2003 onto SBS 2000 Tag: 155744

    - User Profile - how to backup? Hi, I have been using roaming profiles as a way of storing users' inidividual profiles on the server, but this is causing all sorts of problems - the major one being huge log-on/log-off times. I would be quite happy to disable roaming profiles on all user accounts if I could find a way of backing-up user profiles from client PCs onto the server - any ideas on how to go about this?

    - Exchange/VPN Connection Slow We're running an SBS2K server. Mutiple XP Pro laptops connect via VPN back to the server and synchronize using Outlook without problems. The VPN connection is established almost immediately and connection to Exchange within 15-20 seconds. One machine connects through the VPN without problem. However, it takes almost two minutes for it to connect to Exchange, then syncs without problem. If the user uses another machine, the sync also happens without problem. I have checked all the VPN settings on the client and even created a new connectoid but haven't met with any success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    - snap-in failed to initialize I have been trying to re-install Microsof Shared Fax, but when I go into SBS Administrative Console and click on Microsoft Shared Fax, it displays a pop-up box stating the snap-in failed to initialize. The line under that states, "Name: - not available -" Under that, it states, "{1CA43905-B116-405A-9871-1D79621A745F." Can anyone give me advice on how to get this re- installed? I've re-installed it serveral times, and the last two times it looks like it has re-installed successfully since I haven't gotten any installation errors, but upon reboot, I run into the same problems as described above. Also, I used to be able to start or stop the Microsoft Fax Service service in the Services console, but it's not listed there even after what appears to be a successful re- install. Help!

    - 4.5 -> 2003 migration problem with mailboxes I attemted a migration on Saturday from SBS4.5 to SBS2003. The user and group migration seemed to go ok. However, when I loaded the exchange migration wizard I received a message similar to : "Unable to migrate 90 of 94 mailboxes due to ambiguous ownership." I called it quits at that points since I figured 5% success rate probably wouldn't get me the promotion I have been looking for. I have done some web research and it appears this has something to do with the fact that most of my users have multiple email boxes that are all assoicated with their NT Domain user account. I have read that if I created a unique domain account for each mailbox I could make the migration work. However, with the large number of mailboxes involved that is not a very attract alternative. Any Ideas? Regards Dale Tag: installing SBS 2003 onto SBS 2000 Tag: 155719

    - Redirected Folders Hi all, I am having an issue with a redirected folders group policy that I added to our SBS 2000 server. This policy is in addition to the Default Domain Group Policy. I did not alter that(DDGP). I was having everyone's My Documents folder redirected to a network share on the server. The powers that be decided that they did not want this for all employees at this time and therefore I disabled the policy, however, it appears that everyone's folders are still being synchronized to the server when they log out. Am I missing something here? Do I need to delete the policy as opposed to disabling it? Why has the disabling of the policy not stopped the synchronization of the folders?

    - Windows XP Pro, SBS 2000 and Outlook 2000.... Hello everyone: Just wanted to know if anyone else has had problems with Windows XP Pro workstations connecting to the SBS 2000 server (using Outlook 2000), and not having them be able to send, or reply to their email. They can both receive email just fine - it's replying, or creating new messages that comes back with an error. I temporarily have them set up using OWA. Apparently, OWA works for them. If they were to log onto another workstation in the network (all the other workstations are Windows 2000 Pro), their email works fine. Any ideas as to what I would need to change on the two XP boxes, or is there a setting I need to adjust on the SBS 2000 server? Please advise.

    - Off Topic: Monitoring Network Speed Hello, SBS2K. I know this is off topic, but I figured someone here would be able to answer this or at least point in the right direction. I am currently running 4 10Mbps hubs on my network. I am purchasing 4 new 100Mbps, full duplexing switches to replace them. I know theoretically how much faster this should make the network, but I was looking to try to take some measurements so that I can gauge the speed increase. Besides copying files and running some operations in the database, are there any more scientific ways to measure the difference. I appreciate it.

    - SBS Install While I've deployed many Windows servers, my experience with SBS is somewhat limited. Scenario: Small business with three users/workstations is presently on SBS 2000. It resides on an older server of questionable reliability. A new server has been purchased and everything is going to be transferred to it. When SBS is installed it detects the original server and will not join the domain...a new domain must be created. Question: What is the best way to bring the new server online and transfer the information /settings from the old server to the new server? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    - 2 NIC setup questions regarding an external firewall router. Hey everyone, Perhaps I am making this harder than it should be but I have two issues that I am not sure on how to handle 1)my ts sessions as well as using other remote admin programs, pcanywhere,remote administrator, vnc, etc are abruptly disconnecting all users. Connection just quits 2)how to better manage the external firewall router internally, how to configure from an internal workstation Cannot determine why my connections are disconnecting. How can I configure my external router without connecting directly to it from a laptop (I bypass the server and switch, setting a manual ip on the laptop to 192.168.0.2)? SBS2k current setup: ---------------------- I have an external firewall router. It connects to our ISP cable line. ISP cable is connected to the WAN port of the router. Firewall router ip is 192.168.0.1 Server's external nic is connected to the of the LAN ports of the router. Server external nic is 192.168.0.10 Server's internal nic,192.168.16.2, is connected to our managed Dell switch which all pcs connect to. PCs are on 192.168.16.x subnet A basic question: ------------------ Is there a way to configure the firewall router (192.168.0.1) from a workstation PC (192.168.16.30)? Or can I do the following, #3 below? This would allow me to manage the router from any lan pc but what happens to my DMZ? 1. External firewall router connects to ISP cable on Wan port 2. Server's external Nic connected to #1 LAN (Firewall router has a built-in switch) port on external firewall router 3. Connect the #2 LAN port of the firewall router to a port on the Dell managed switch 4. Keep the internal NIC connected to the Dell managed switch Thanks in advance, JohnJ Tag: installing SBS 2003 onto SBS 2000 Tag: 155683

    - transfer SBS 4.0 mailboxes I am looking to upgrade an SBS 4.0 server to SBS 2003 and have a number of questions: 1. Is is possible to carry out a clean install of SBS 2K3 onto new hardware and transfer users, data, mailboxes etc from SBS 4.0? 2. If its necessary to upgrade to SBS 4.5 first, are there any major issues with upgrading to SBS 4.5 as I am concerned there is no easy fall back if problems are encountered. Where can I obtain this upgrade to 4.5. 3. Likewise, any issues with upgrading to SBS 2000 or SBS 2003. 4. Can an OEM version of SBS 4.0 be upgraded to a later version using a full boxed product?

I tried logging on w/ admin id and still won't log on. When I look at network connection it shows packets being sent but 0 recvd. Also, automatic ip address is out of the range comming from dhcp. Gave him one of my static ips. Now the adapter sends and rcvs packets but can't access server resources. Moved box to computer room eliminating all possibilities of wiring issues. Could it be that there are no more ip's available in the range? If so, where do I find that? Dan Tag: installing SBS 2003 onto SBS 2000 Tag: 155662

    - Slow Server/Network Issue Setup: SBS2000 ISA Exchange SQL Lately it seems as if the server/network has gotten slower and slower. After the server runs for a fews hours the RAM seems to climb up to over a gig in use. However the server only has 512 of physical RAM. I know that Store.exe is designed to use all and let ram go as it needed be however it only uses around 200meg at most. I believe that the RAM issue is having a adverse effect on network preformance. Once the ram usages gets that high I can hardy use the server. There are long pauses between anything I do and using it is almost impossble until a restart is made. As well as the network seems to be effected as well. There are slight delays in accessing drives andor mail. I am going to stay after today and hopefully pinpoint the problem to the ram. I know with SQL I need more ram but it is not really used at the moment except for one small database Would just adding ram do the trick or might that just prolog the time it takes for the system to become slow. Any ideas, nothing new has been installed or changed lately? Tag: installing SBS 2003 onto SBS 2000 Tag: 155659

    - VPN - RRAS won't set ports I need some help quickly on this please. TIA. I've followed the smallbizserver.net instructions to set my SBS2k up for VPN access. I have allowed VPN connections using ISA and configured RRAS for VPN. In RRAS, I have right-clicked Server ports and configured WAN Miniport PPTP for Remote Access Connections (inbound only) for 5 ports. I have configured WAN Miniport L2TP for 0 ports. When I click apply or OK I receive the following error message: "Routing and Remote Access The port information cannot be saved. Cannot complete this function. (800703eb)" I'm only given an Ok option. When I click this, the port information hasn't been saved. On RRAS server properties, the following options are selected: General Tab: enable as router, LAN & Demand Dial, Remote Access Server IP Tab: Enable IP Routing, Allow IP-based remote access, assign address by DHCP When I run ICW, I get the following error. Would this be related? "The Internet Connection Wizard was interrupted because of an error or user intervention.

    - SBS 2003 "impossibly slow" problem Trying to install SBS2K3 standard on an AMD machine with a Gigabyte Pro2 mainboard. As soon as the Server 2003 install was complete the PC became impossibly slow and unreactive to mouse clicks or the Start menu button although if an application could be started, it did seem to run "reasonably OK". But this presentation was totally unusable and the full SBS install could not follow. A clean reinstall produced the same result. After a long search I found a previous post suggesting that there was a registry setting at fault. HKCU/Control Panel/Desktop - the default entry for MenuShowDelay should be 400 (milliseconds). A value of 0 was what was actually there.... When this was changed - followed by a log off & on -Server 2003 suddenly started behaving normally again. Just thought it was worth reposting this "solution" as it is so dramatic..! Alan - Dr WIZARD Computers Edinburgh Scotland Tag: installing SBS 2003 onto SBS 2000 Tag: 155650

BW Online | April 19, 2004 | Online Extra: How Microsoft Is Clipping Longhorn: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_16/b3879009_mz001.htm ------------------------------------ http://www.betanews.com/article.php3?sid=1081545725 To head off what some have described as a "perfect storm" Microsoft is paring down its next generation Windows release code-named Longhorn. Business Week is reporting that Microsoft will fall short of its aspirations to include the full scope of the Windows file-storage system (WinFS) in the operating system; instead, the software giant will focus on rolling out WinFS for the client - leaving network support to the dust. The WinFS system along with the Indigo communications subsystem and Avalon graphical subsystem serve as the three technologies at the foundation of Longhorn. According to Microsoft Watch, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates publicly acknowledged that the Longhorn client will be pushed back well into 2006. To fill the void left by the absence of Longhorn, Microsoft was expected to release an interim release of XP rumored to be called Windows XP "Reloaded". However, according to emails allegedly viewed by Business Week, those plans have been shelved indefinitely. Instead Microsoft will deliver Windows XP Premium: a conglomeration of Windows XP Service Pack Two and Windows Media Player 10. Windows Media Player 10 is Microsoft's attempt to outflank Apple by offering the MSN Music Store, and is set to include new digital rights management technology dubbed "Janus". Windows XP Premium will not be billed as an 'interim' release. With Windows Longhorn, Microsoft has promised big. This, however, is not the first time Redmond has attempted a proverbial 'moon shot'. Senior Jupiter analyst Joe Wilcox told BetaNews, "Microsoft's situation is like it was 10 years ago. It's interesting to see history repeat. The company had promised big things with Cairo, but executives faced increasing pressure to ship a new version of Windows. Microsoft also worried new competing products, such as IBM's OS/2 Warp, would eat away Windows market share. Funny how the characters are changed, but not the situation." Jupiter's Wilcox continued, "Ten years ago, Microsoft shed features to get out Windows 95, which wasn't as revolutionary as the version 3.1 successor was supposed to be. Shedding features could put Longhorn on a similar track." Linux's growing momentum and the continual delay of Longhorn is brewing what some have called a perfect storm. "Many Longhorn promised features are like those proposed for Cairo, Microsoft faces some pressure to ship and Linux could be the OS/2 of the day," said Wilcox. ---------------------------- 830254 - How to move the client programs folder to another location in Windows Small Business Server 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830254 828053 - ISA Server prevents connection to a remote desktop when you connect through Remote Web Workplace on a Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computer: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=828053 830044 - Macintosh users cannot connect to Outlook Web Access (OWA) when OWA is hosted on Windows Small Business Server 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=830044 838304 - How to publish http://Companyweb to the Internet by using ISA Server 2000 on a server that is running Windows Small Business Server 2003, Premium Edition: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=838304 839262 - Services may stop abruptly when you shut down or restart a Windows Small Business Server 2003-based computer: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839262 837849 - How to add an icon to Windows SharePoint Services to represent Adobe PDF documents that are stored in document libraries: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=837849 825513 - How to use the SharePoint Administrator to upgrade to FrontPage 2002 server extensions on Windows Server 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=825513 839048 - "Could not instantiate control SharePoint:ProjectProperty" error message when you view a Windows SharePoint Services Web page: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=839048 ------------------------ - - - - - - - - - - Netsky damages four sites File-sharing network eDonkey's main Web site has been knocked offline following an attack from Netsky, but Kazaa has survived--so far.

    - Newbie with a smallbiz2000 installation, check my config? I've been thrust into a situation where I have to setup a smallbiz2000 server, with little time and no training. Please tell me if there are any errors in my thought or any potiential long term planning issues with the say I plan on doing this? TIA, here is my proposed configuration: Existing is 13 Windows 2000 Professional workstations (with MS Office XP Pro and Outlook) configured to the Internet through a broadband gateway (NetGear or something like it) who's ip is 192.168.1.1 and all the clients are DHCP. I've had numerous troubles with installing smallbiz2000. Configuring ISA was the straw that broke my back, so I thought my easiest solution was a multihomed network configuration. Each workstation's NIC will be configured with two ip addresses one on the gateway's subnet and one for the subnet that the server is on. I'll configure the server with an ip 10.0.0.100 (I'm using 10.0.0.100 only because on the 192.168.1.x network it is .100 also) The smallbiz2000 server will be Active Directory enabled, running Exchange Server (full schedule, task, contact sharing, etc.) and Network fax and file sharing. I've set this configuration up on a lab setting and everything seems to work fine. I'm concerned with two issues down the line. First question/issue, we're going to want VPN so can I add say a linksys BEFVP41 at this location and one at a remote location with a W2K Pro workstation without any issues? The other question/issue is if the workstations will reliably be able to see the server for Active Directory issues. Is this config ok? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    - The "Redirect my documents to the server from client" does not work in my SBS 2003..... Hello I have problems by configuring the redirecting of My documents to the server (syncronisation) If i go to the System Manager, and then Users, then you have in the menu an option "configure My documents redirection", if you select that, you get a windows with 3 possibel configurations, 1 Redirect to default folder 2 Redirect to a specific folder 3 Do not redirect So i choose the first, but if a client logs in, it only syncronize his profile, but not the My Documents folder... If i choose the second option and point it to the already build in "User shared folder" folder, it also do'nt( I see that the server creates a folder inside the "User shared folder" folder, but nothing more) works because if i choose the second option, i apply, close all windows and go again look to the window with the 3 options, i see that it is again placed on the first Option, How is this possibel? i chose again Second and give the User shared folder" folder in, apply, but again after you go look again, it is point to the First selection. Could it be a bug? Because also if i choose to configure the password policy (still in Server Management) and i put it to mimimum 5 characters (standard 3). Apply it, and close evrything, if i go look again i see that it is back placed to 3 characters or whatever it was.... I have at my office create a test case with an SBS 2003 and had the same problem so i deleted al the domain users, and tryed it again, and then suddenly it work.. but on the SBS 2003 i can't delete the users because the are using the accounts. But i also think that isn't the solution.. Does anyone now how i can find a solutions about redirecting the My Documents folder on a easy way or alternative way....

    - LDAP easy on SBS2000? We are looking to purchase a standalone networked multifunction printer such as the Lexmark X422. They seem pretty good value for money - fast laser printer, photocopier with ADF, scanner (in theory can scan and sent result over TCP/IP back to any client PC - not sure how :O( and scan to email (including creating PDF internally) However, a lot of the latter functionality depends on LDAP access to server for ease of use. Would this kind of unit be able to get full LDAP info easily, or would there be any issues on the SBS side? I know zilch about LDAP, but did download Softerra's LDAP Browser utility and found I could 'anonymously' see some LDAP info, but not e.g. list of AD Users (could have been me being clueless). Also, I assume LDAP would allow you access to the main AD list of users, but not to any Exchange Server type lists e.g. public contacts?? TIA p.s. - anyone with one of these know if you have to put any software on the server itself? - I know that advice is usually to avoid, but not too sure if that further limits functionality Tag: installing SBS 2003 onto SBS 2000 Tag: 155588
