    - Defragging Recommendations Well, I've avoided this since we went live with SBS 2k in April 2003 :) I need to defrag our primary partition and our "data" partition. Questions: 1. on the partition that has exchange2k...is defrag smart enough to not screw with exchange? 1a. would it be better to "move" exchange files to another partition, reorg the original partition, and then move exchange back? 2. before I defrag should i stop exchange services? 3. should i disable anti-virus before defragging? any other services? 4. on the primary partition i'm petrified some critical system file will be corrupted. what definitive backup should i do prior to defragging to ensure recoverability? (we use Veritas Backup Exec 9.x). 5. would you all only do the defrag during non-peak times? 6. I have a raid-5 setup with 3 x 36GB drives. Any issues/settings/etc with defrag and raid-5 I should be careful of or tweak? Anything else to be careful of? Thanks so much! John Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158748

    - Really need help and not getting any replies Hello Dana. I finally got some information. It looks like the VPN connection is still active when this happens. Also, when it happens, we tried pinging three things: The static ip address of the server - Gives 4 replies with nothing lost The static ip address with 3389 on the end of it - Gives bad parameter The servers local nic address 10.0.0.1 - Gives a loss of data The servername - Gives could not find server xxxxx Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

    - Where to get information. I know this is going to sound absolutely ridiculous to most of you, but I have to ask. How are you supposed to navigate Microsoft's web site? I try going to Microsoft.com and using their search feature as if I'm Googling and quite frankly if Microsoft thinks they are going to contend in the search engine business they better start working harder. From the main search bar I can use quotes, but and subsequent searches using quotes will fail every time. Remove the quotes from the second search and all sorts of stuff pops up, but hardly any of it specific to my search. So back to the question, how do most of you navigate it? Do you bookmark into specific sections? Navigate through the side panes? It drives me nuts to have to go to the Microsoft site because its unbearable to find anything there. I mean, its all there, but how on earth you find it is beyond me.... This all stems from looking for information on how to add a member server using best practices. I loaded up a test server yesterday and its spewing all sorts of 'already exists on the network' errors, service loading failures, etc. Thanks for your input!

    - Connecting Remote Sites via VPN Hi All I am about to attempt connecting a remote site for the first time! I have SBS 2000 at the main office and Server 2003 at the remote site. I have the Microsoft White Paper on deploying router to router VPN's but it's confusing! Which server should I use as the calling server and which one as the answering server? When I get the servers connected, I should be able to plug a laptop in at the remote site and it will log onto the main server? is that correct? Are there any other settings I should know about or have to change? I will be using a hardware firewall at the remote site which I know I will have to configure, any suggestions as to which one to use? So many questions???? All help very much appreciated as always. thanks Mark Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158744

    - Domain Problems We are expreincing some strange occurances on our SBS2K server. Its seem that the domain controller goes missing. The event log shows MSex. error9175. The server has SP1a installed I tried reinstalling this and I got an error that this was a pre windows 2000 server. The AD is unavaileable if I try to connect to the domain I receive a similar message cannot connect to a pre W2K domain. Rebooting the server clears the problem for a period of time. Anti Virus software is all upto date. The server still runs but emails become unavaileable. Advice please Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158736

    - Network traffic monitoring We are experiencing intermittent poor voice quality on VOIP phone traffic over a 10mb link between two sites, and I'm guessing it is due to data traffic on the same line. There is one SBS server at one end, and there are just a couple of client PCs at the other end (so no need for a 2nd server just yet) Any ideas what would be a good (free/cheap) softwate package to use to try to work out where the bottleneck is? By the way, we have HP Switches at either end. Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158735

    - smtp connector query Hi, in my sbs 2000 setup i need to route 2 email address's (local) to a different relay (smart host). I have added another connector, and set it to reject all messages apart from the 2 email addresses that i require (from local domain). i have also denied the 2 addresses from using the default SBS SMTP connector. When testing, watching the smtp queues, i see only the default SBS smtp connector queue and not the newly created connector queue - is this right? Also the 2 email addresses i have set to route thro the new connector end up in the SBS smtp connector queue. An help would b greatly appreciated. Clive Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158731

    - Connectcomputer Private error Part 1 I am trying to join a SBS2003 Domain using connectcomputer URL on the server. It asks for a login which is fine and then the user names come up which is normal. I assign a local user to the new user, which is great, but when I hit next an error comes up saying " The following user settings are private - User1" It proceeds to explain to tell you in Sharing And Security untick the Private box. I do not have a single Sharing and Security Tab (under My Computer->Properties) but a separate Security and a separate sharing where I find no reference to Private. Part 2: I tried another profile and I get to the next step where it asks me for the associated computer name and the computer is not listed there. Help! Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158726

    - installing ISA on SBS2000 OEM Hello, I've installed SBS2000 OEM without ISA server few months ago. Now I'd like to add ISA Server, but when I try to install it from the SBS CD # 2 , ISA Setup asks me for a 10-digit serial number. Is it possible to install it without troubles? I tried to run SBS setup from SBS2000 CD #1, but I had strange feeling like it wanted to format my server's hard disk. Please help me how to install ISA on already installed SBS2000 OEM. Or maybe there is another simple way to trace my users' Internet traffic? Best Regards, Marek Hryceniak Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158710

I have a sbs2000 server I am administering at the office and then I have one at my home which I have setup but I cannot get the VPN between the two to work. What is the best why to do this.

    - Can't mount a restored information store Hi Folks Hope you can help. Following a disk catastrophy at the weekend, I have been trying to restore an Exchange Server 2K backup. For reasons too painful to go into, I only have access to an old back up (over a month ago). I have restored this to a new disk but I cannot pursuade Exchange to mount it. It fails with the error message 'An internal processing error...... ID No c1041724'. According to the MS KB, this is typically a problem with inconsistencies between the databases and the log file. I have followed the advice in KB article 301438. When I try to re-backup the database, MS Backup gives an error the significant bit of which is: "backup started on 24/05/2004 at 17:00. WARNING: Portions of "\Private Information Store (CUREE01)" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete. This file will not restore correctly. WARNING: Portions of "\Public Information Store (CUREE01)" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete. This file will not restore correctly. WARNING: Portions of "\Log Files" cannot be read. The backed up data is corrupt or incomplete. This file will not restore correctly. Backup completed on 24/05/2004 at 17:00. Directories: 4 Files: 0 Bytes: 0 Time: 1 second" However, when I run eseutil /mh on the stores, I get no errors and it completes in 2 seconds. Eseutil /p on the log file also completes without error. But if I delete the log files and try again to mount the stores, the error is the same and another E00.log file (about 5 MB) is created along with an E00.chk and a res1.log and res2.log file. Is there anything I can do to get this store into a useable state? I have a major disaster on my hands if not! The KB warns against a 'hard repair' which it says will not result in useable data, so I am trying to avoid this. Thanks for your help, if you can.

    - Moving to new server Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to moving a working SBS2000 installation over to a new server? I am particularly concerned about things like the additional SBS2k CALs which are on floppy. Nothing from the old machine will be used in the new one, with the exception of the software licenses. I had a quick look around smallbizserver.net and although there is a guide for 2003, it didn't cover the issues I was looking for. Searching support.microsoft.com didn't really help, either.

    - IMAP versus Microsoft Exchange Server Account ??? differnece.. I'm a little confused about the difference between a "IMAP" account and a "Microsoft Exchange Server" account. What is the big difference? My question is: Does IMAP leaves you're emails on the server? I have configured a client with the type="Microsoft Exchange Server" and i see that the mail are kept on the server. he always syncronize the messages. Thats ok, understand that But with imap, also configured it, i don't see a syncronization.... they say is downloads personal folders that are shared. But does you're emails stays in the personal folders or do you download them on you'r epc without leaving it on you're pc but still access to a public folder? Or does IMAP keeps a copy on the server.? Greetings Gerrit Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158691

This problem could result in the POP3 connector accidentally re-sending certain messages to recipients who are not part of the SBS server e-mail domain. This may happen only in the cases where the POP3 connector is used to download mail from an external POP account.

A study on identity theft by Judith Collins, a professor at Michigan State University, to be released later this year, shows that up to 70% of identity theft cases result from the theft of personal information by company insiders, such as employees or company bosses. The study examined 1,037 identity theft cases from around the US, revealing that 50% of identities were definitely stolen by insiders and another 20% were probably stolen by insiders. Many instances of insider identity theft occur in the financial services and medical sectors, sometimes as part of organized crime schemes. The findings somewhat contradict the conventional wisdom that identity theft results mainly from hacking into databases and 'dumpster diving'. A bill has been introduced in the US House of Representatives, the 'Identity Theft Penalty Enhancement Act,' which would punish identity theft committed by insiders more severely than other forms of identity theft. http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5015565 ------------------- At a hearing of the US Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, on May 20, 2004, on the effectiveness of the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act of 2003, lawmakers urged the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to become more aggressive in going after illegal spammers. According to FTC chairman Timothy J. Muris, the FTC has already pursued several spammers under the Act, while the FBI is poised to launch criminal cases against as many as 50 leading spammers later this year, according to Jana Monroe, the FBI's assistant director of the cyber division. Committee chairman Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) suggested that law enforcement agencies should target companies that use spammers to advertise their products if they are unable to apprehend the spammers themselves. It is still unclear how well the CAN-SPAM Act will work. By some accounts the number of spam e-mails continues to grow, but experts believe law enforcement also needs time to build cases against violators. http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/05/20/HNcanspamimpact_1.html ------------------------ Regulators in several US states, including New York and California, are moving ahead with rules concerning Internet telephony and voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) technologies, potentially bringing them in conflict with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is expected to rule on VoIP regulation in the next few months. A debate has been raging over whether, and to what extent, to regulate the emerging Net-phoning market. One of the points of contention is whether VoIP and similar services should be regulated like 'traditional' telephone services. http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-5217512.html ------------------- Software giant Microsoft Corp. is including new anti-spam technology in its products, but it is still unclear when the tools will start shipping, according to Ryan Hamlin, general manager of Microsoft?s Anti-Spam Technology and Strategy group. The company's SmartScreen technology will filter outbound e-mail messages and will operate "at the enterprise level, on e-mail servers and gateways, or at the client level on desktops". A second technology will require e-mail senders to perform a small computational task that could make mass-mailings impractical. Microsoft is also collaborating with AOL Time Warner Inc., Yahoo Inc. and EarthLink Inc. in an anti-spam working group. http://www.gcn.com/vol1_no1/daily-updates/25957-1.html ---------------------- Due to the introduction in recent years of a variety of cyber security-related laws and regulations, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Basel II Accord, regulation compliance has replaced anti-hacker protection and other security concerns as the most important issue for many large organizations. Laws and regulations contain numerous requirements, particularly concerning protecting personal information, but do not specify which security and privacy tools and technologies should be used to comply.

    - Multiple SBS Domain Hello All I am new to SBS2003. I understand there can be only one domain controller in a SBS domain and it must be the root. I also understand there can't be any child domains. Can I have multiple domain trees on a SBS domain server? I would like to run two domains. I know that you can't run domain trusts in SBS but that would be OK. If I can run multiple domains then could you point me to where I would set that up just to get me started Regards John Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158671

    - Replacement Server I setup a replacement SBS 2000 server and had the following issues. I had a problem with space when I imported the exchange data using the migration wiz. I then had to move the databases and log files. Then when I migrated exchange on to the new server on there were errors logged for every calendar event that was scheduled. Also after I completed the migration some users could not log on to the domain. The event logs stated that there was an error with the SID as the domain had been amended. Can anyone shed any light on this? Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158661

    - wins server Due to a hardware failure in sbs 2000 and the time consumed in its repair of both mail and all other services, we decided to put a new sbs 2000 server in place. this was installed and pathched and all users setup, using the same server name and domain name all seemed fine untill we introduced it to the network, the first thing we noticed was that some units would not log in, so we decided to remove the unit from the domain and reregit back to the domain. On rereg it stated the domain could not be contacted yet its ip was provided by the server and it had been placed in the servers dns. If you log into the network as administrator services can be seen but we dont have a master browser service. Looking at the server we find Wins service has stated but MSwins service in the mmc state it cannot connect due to "path not found" we seen to have lost some connectivity within out network and although we have reinstalled all the tcp services and network services we cannot get wins to correctly connect. Technet has provided only one solution to this type of problem relating to file/print sharing and remote reg service but they seem fine. Can anybody suggest why wins is not working corectly this stops all net browse services on the domain and is a major problem!!!!!!! Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158634

    - SBS 2003 - Appletalk zone is blank! How do you add the zone Hello I just installed a SBS 2003 server in my network which replaced an old NT 4.0 SBS. I have successfully setup all network services with the exception of Appletalk. I install File and Print services for Macintosh and it auto installs Appletalk. Looking at the properties of Appletalk reveals that there is no zone. I have tried various ways of adding the zone, installing the protocols in different orders and I am still getting a blank zone I would assume that the zone should be configured as domainname.local. i tried connecting to this on a couple of MACs with the syntax: afp://domainname.local:domainname (like in previous nt environment) and it will not enumerate the zone I have also tried removing the .local and no go What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help offered Sincerely Hugh Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158600

    - Exchange on SBS2000 replacement server I am moving to a new server and need to keep everything exactly the same as the old server(improved hardware). I have used a toll called Ideal Migration and I have moved all of the users, groups, printers, ports, permissions etc. This tool did not however move the mail boxes for Exchange. I have exported the mail boxes to a memeber server and I have moved all of the data and profiles to the member server(This enables me to just remove the original DC and put the new one in place). I can then move all of the data and create the shared folders. My question is does anyone know 1)Ideal Migration migrates the network shares for the users? 2) When I migrate the pkl file back in to the new server do I need to do anything else for Exchange? 3) When I exported the mail boxes using the migration tool it took about 7 hours. Is this normal? 4) When I setup SBS2K on the replacement hardware the M drive appears to have a folder in it that is not named the same as the M drive on the original server. Does anyone know why? Thanks a lot. Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158591

    - shot in the dark - routing issues Hi, I we are running SBS2000. We are building an application which will connect to a 3rd party vendor via a private point-to-point frame relay connection. Our internal SBS network is on the 192.168.16.0 subnet and the private network is on the 192.168.64.0 subnet. We have a webserver which will recieve requests, contact the private server, get a response and send it back to the client. The webserver has an IP on the internal and private network (it essentially is straddling both networks). I have added a static route on the webserver sending all requests for a certain IP to the private network. >>route add xxx.xxx.xxx.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.64.1 From the webserver, I can successfully ping the private 3rd party server via our private network (tracert goes through the private gateway). When I run the tcpClient app (called from the webserver), it tries to connect via the internal gateway (with the static route, it should be using the private gateway). Why would pinging route properly but the client not? Is there something I need to do at the SBServer level to force all requests for the private network to the private gateway? (I thought the static route would handle it) I'm kinda stumped... Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158554

    - SBS Terminals Svcs / 2000 v 2003 I read over and over that using Term Svcs (Remote Admin) to runn app's (mostly Office apps in my case) is not a good idea. I work 50-50 out of 2 locations and need to consolidate data/email that is now duplicated between stand-alone desktops at each location. Friend of mine uses SBS/TS to run app's and thinks it's the most efficient way to do this - since only screen data goes across the net. I sometimes work with large ACCESS databases, etc. that would pump a lot of data. TS wouldn't be used by anyone besides myself. How bad an idea is it really? I'm installing SBS 2000 after procrastinating for 2 years - should I really be installing 2003, or should I get 2000 working and upgrade when I need it Many thanks.

    - Client Win Auto Upd not working The workstations in the domain behind the ISA server are unable to get Windows Automatic Updates when scheduled at 3am. The error on the workstation is: Event Type: Warning Event Source: Automatic Updates Event Category: Download Event ID: 16 Date: 5/21/2004 Time: 8:14:31 AM User: N/A Computer: TBDN30 Description: Unable to connect: Windows is unable to connect to the Automatic Updates service and therefore cannot download and install updates according to the set schedule. Windows will continue to try to establish a connection. I have checked and applied (if applicable) the following: Q241783 , Q312955 , Q328010 , Q824208 , Q830750 I have made sure WPAD is in DNS. I have opened 443 on the ISA server using a packet filter. Workstations fail regardless if they are using the WSP Firewall Client or not. All use the IP address of the ISA server as the proxy server, port 8080. I've posted here before with no replies, so I hope this is enough information to start. BTW, from the workstation just going to www.windowsupdate.com and doing an update works just fine. Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158551

    - VPN Solution suggestions I actually have two questions. The first is dealing with SBS2K and WinGate. Is this a good solution for a VPN or is their something better? My next question has to do with SBS2K3 with 1 NIC setup and a Linksys BEFVP41 VPN router. Do I just setup the router and allow access to the LAN or do I have to setup anything in SBS2K3? I figure that ISA Server won't be a problem since I'm using the 1 NIC setup. All recommendations are welcome, however, I must add that the 1 NIC setup was the work of another consultant who setup the wiring closet in such a way that I cannot safely or even neatly implement a 2 NIC setup. I have informed the client that this is not the recommended setup, but their response is to work with what is available. Thanks in advance, MIke Tag: SBS internal network probs Tag: 158550

Not a very secure way of networking sharing the whole drive!
