    - Message delivered twice on SBS200/Exchange 200 server Hi I am encoutering a problem where messages are being delivered to the local domain twice. The message is successfully saved to the local store by the smtp store driver but then is resubmitted to advanced queuing to be delivered all over again. I have performed integrity checks on the information stores and they check out ok. Help please..

Go to www. microsoft.com/security for more details -------------------------------- This Tuesday is the second Tuesday of the month and that means it's Security Day! Look for potential hotfixes to come out on that day. Sign up for security bulletins to be informed of these patches Go to www.microsoft.com/security for more details ------------------------------- SHAREPOINT ISSUE Just remember our Sharepoint issue .... set your system date clock back before 11/24/2003 and install your Small Business Server 2003. More details including picture how-tos are at www.sbslinks.com click on the "Sharepoint link" at the top. ------------------------------- So today I'm on the road coming home from a weekend trip to Los Angeles to visit with friends and celebrate their son's "Black belt" in TaeKwanDo. And being the geek that I am, I've got the laptop, the cell phone, the digital camera for the trip. For a friend of the family, we are building them a new computer with Windows XP [yeah ... the Home version but they only need the computer for Home] and one of the major things we did was to enable the firewall on that dial up connection. Start, control panel, network connections, network card properties, click on the advanced tab and enable the firewall. When you visit friends and family this Christmas season, do your Holiday geek duty and just check out their computers, ensuring that they are patched, have an up to date antivirus. In fact, burn in XP sp1 and all security patches on a cdrom and help them keep their systems up to date. Yes, that's really geeky I know.... but all of us can help each other be a little more secure. If you want to know just HOW geeky I am.... I'm connecting to the web using my GPRS Nokia 6220 cell phone to send this email. I know... pretty geeky that as long as my battery holds out and I can get a GPRS connection, I can get online just about anywhere! :-) --------------------------- Spanish police arrest Raleka worm suspect Spanish police have arrested a 23-year-old man in Madrid, who is suspected of being the author of the W32/Raleka worm which infected more than 120,000 computers in August.

    - DNS Configuration Hi, Several of my customer's ISPs charge for DNS hosting. I would like to have my servers do it instead. I have customers with 12+ domain names and they will be charged a lot for this by their ISP. Rather than having network solutions point the domain name to the ISP's DNS it will be pointed to the SBS servers. I have several customers running SBS so I am hoping that I can use seperate servers for DNS redundancy. What I would like to ask is if anyone out there can give me or point me towards idiot proof instructions for how to do this on the SBS2000 server.

    - Internet failed! I am at a client site where their Internet connection had failed. It seems the router was the fault but the "administrator" here tried to fix it by changing IP addresses of the second NIC and even adding a third NIC in. I have restored a system state but unfortunately the latest one is the night after the changes first started. Anyway, I have now removed the 3rd NIC, set up the second to how it should work, ran ICW again (no change to ISA or Exchange) but it aint working! If I ping an IP I get an instant faillure, not even a time out. I have a system state backup from August but this caused more problems that it fixed. However the Internet was working, email and everything else so I am sure the problem is configuration or something that needs manually adjusting. Any help woud be great! My weekend is dwindling!

    - slow server connection hi.. situation: got a client with a sbs2k server. the server seems ok in most areas. thing is no one can connect if the server's nic is set to anything other than 10mps. even tho the card is 100/10. have replaced the cable. the one area that concerns me is that the server is kept in a cupboard with a large incoming power cable. but it is quite well shielded. My intention is to trial the server outside this area, but just in case does anyone have any other suggestions. btw the cat 5 run is less than 30 feet.

    - Antispam - SBS2000 - POP3 downloads... Hi all, Quick request for advice. Anyone got any pointers on anti-spam software that will operate effectively in the following set-up?: SBS2000 - Broadband Internet connection using 2 x NIC and Broadband Router Mail is downloaded via multiple POP3 mailboxes [5] Outgoing mail has a disclaimer added as per instructions on www.smallbizserver.net [so we have no SmallBusiness SMTP connector but two SMTP virtual servers configured] Trend C/S/M Suite in place Trialled Trend Scanmail eManager but felt it was average 'out of the box' and required a fair bit of ongoing configuration to operate reasonably. Have license for full Trend NeatSuite [only utilised the C/S/M elements thus far] - price was so close to C/S/M that it made sense really, especially if we end up going to SMTP mail further down the line. This is noted purely in case it may have any relevance. Ideally, we'd like something that links with Exchange [obviously] and would allow at least a degree of automatic 'white-listing' so that anyone our users send to would automatically be allowed in and never be tagged as spam. If it could automatically update its definitions and rules that would also be a benefit. We're not too concerned about outgoing content filtering as it's not really a concern in our particular set-up, so we don't particularly need something that is 'heavy' on that front. Hope that's enough info to start with. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, David Tag: VPN into another Domain outside local domain Tag: 145521

    - XP clients way slow after Win2k server made DC I have a peer-to-peer network of 10 users that consists of: Win2k SP2 Server - member server XP Pro SP1 clients DSL Router giving out IP info via DHCP (clients access the Internet directly through this router) I wanted to setup an actual Domain so ran dcpromo to convert the server to a Domain Controller. I took all the defaults as far as sole domain controller and forest info. I wasn't sure about the DNS naming convention so used a FQDN of lawfirm.company.com. DNS installed without incident and I re booted. No alerts and I began setting up user accounts and a logon script. I noticed that the full name of my server was now server01.lawfirm.company.com and started getting nervous ( I was expecting the server name to just remain server01 I was able to join a workstation to the domain but found that my logon script wouldn't map any drives and more distressing, access to shares and computer resources crawled to a standstill. I re-ran dcpromo, demoted the DC to a member server (lost my user accounts I knew about) and uninstalled DNS but after a reboot noticed that the server name now had a trailing dot after it's name. What's more, any user accounts (i.e. local admin) now had a dot before the name (.administrator etc.). My main questions are: How come my clients couldn't quickly access the DC? Is it a client DNS issue because they get their DNS info from the router? Is this a querying issue? Have I screwed up my server as far as the "." being in the user accounts and hostname id's? I really would like to have this network take advantage of an authenticated environment but am afraid to re-run dcpromo and deal with client issues again. If I re-run dcpromo, do I have to identify my DC as FQDN? How short of a name can I get away with? Thank you for seeing something I obviously didn't and your help.

    - Hosting a website Got a few bugs in the system and need some help. First running: AD, DHCP,DNS, ISA, IIS, RAS and Exchange from SBS200 all behind a router. Router forwards certain port traffic to external interface. I have two websites setup in IIS. I did this because when I had the site in the wwwroot directory I lost the exchange instant messenger and Trend Micro Anti-virus managment console. So now, First is the local intranet handles Exchange instant messenger, Trend Micro Anti-virus and Exchange and listens on any unassigned port 80. The second is the public website and listens on the external interface IP address port 80. I'm able to view the public website by typing the the external interface ip address and the external internet address (www.mydomain.com). So the router is forwarding correctly and I have the DNS entry correct. I have ISA publishing rules for OWA and WWW. The WWW rule forwards the www.mydomain.com to the external interface IP address. The OWA forwards www.mydomain.com/exchange*, www.mydomain.com/exchweb*, and www.mydomain.com/public* to the internal interface IP address. The OWA rule also includes the external internet IP address, the external interface IP address and the internal interface IP address with the directories as well. The theory here was no matter what I typed domain name, public ip, external interface ip, internal interface ip with /exchange it would give the authentication window. PROBLEM1: I'm only able to access OWA via the internal interface IP address. Authentication window pops up and logs on fine. So somehow the ISA publishing rule isn't forwarding to the internal interface IP. Now, If I stop the public website and type in the public IP address I receive the standard page under construction and I'm able to send smtp mail again. If I type the public IP address + /exchange or www.mydomain.com/exchange I get the authentication window and I log on fine. ISA is listening for requests on the external interface IP address port 80. So I know that ISA is forwarding the information correctly and that I have the proper rules set up. PROBLEM2: How can I set my domain up to use my DNS server as the name server for both the site and mail? I have an Mailexchanger What changes do I need to make to the router, ISA, and the DNS server? I have a forward zone added for mydomain.com. And Host entries for DNS-internal interface IP address, MAIL-internal interface IP address, WWW-external ip address. Mail Exchanger- mail.mydomain.com. So I have valid internal ip address for dns.mydomain.com, mail.mydomain.com, www.mydomain.com. I think I'm close getting it all together, but I think I'm missing one or two steps. Any and all help is much appreciated. Robert Tag: VPN into another Domain outside local domain Tag: 145506

We get the message that the netbios domain name already exists. Creating a new domain name isn't an option, since it would require us to reconfigure all of our workstations.

We removed the old sbs 2000 machine and installed 2003 it detected an existing domain and told us we could not install on an existing domain. So we installed with a new local domain. We then proceeded to demote the windows 2003 server and tried to add it to the existing SBS 2003 domain. We have not had success yet. We would really like to keep all user groups and security rights if possible? My questions is this: If we have an existing domain with a server 2000 or 2003, how do we add SBS 2003 to that network and migrate all the active directory settings or at least the user accounts. Or is there another way around this? Some of my clients are considering upgrading to Exchange Server and I'm trying to convince them that sbs 2003 would be much better for them, the only problem is adding it to their existing network with the minimal amount of setup. One example in particular is a client with 2 win2k servers one is for accounting the other is for Exchange test server they want to upgrade the demo exchange server with SBS 2003 but are very worried about anything being done to the other 2003 accounting box. Thanks for you help on this Sean Tag: VPN into another Domain outside local domain Tag: 145474

    - Compaq SBS Setup Hello, We have a Compaq ML350 server that we ordered with SBS 2000 preinstalled. I am a little confused though because on the start menu it says "windows 2000 server" not SBS server. Also, the licensing applet works like standard Win 2000 server in control panel. This issue came up because we recently ordered new licenses for the server and I was trying to install them. Is there something not setup correctly here? Would Compaq have not done the SBS install? Looking at the license sticker on the machine, it definitely says SBS server. Was there something we were supposed to have done to the server after receiving it? This server is production and cannot be re-done. Second issue.... We are setting up a new SBS 2K server for a large branch location (seperate domain, servers wont communicate etc) and I am doing the entire setup myself (no compaq) and I am confused because of the way the compaq server is setup and the way the new one looks - they are not similar and I was relying on the similarity to get me through the configuration. Basically on the new server, I installed the OS then ran the SBS wizard. I saw references to install procedures at www.smallbizserver.net and wanted to follow such, but I do not see any install steps on that website. Not sure if I am doing everything correctly. After setting up the new server, I do not see any 'Manage Computer' item on the start menu to install the licenses. I see Admin Console, but that doesnt seem to have anything about licensing. Have I done something wrong here already? This is fresh and can still be redone if it needs to be. Thanks for any help, Mike Tag: VPN into another Domain outside local domain Tag: 145473

    - SBS2K3 will not Continue Setup - TCP/IP Hello All, I'm attempting to install Windows Small Business Server 2003 (Windows Server 2003, Exchange 2003, etc.) on a Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. The initial installation of Windows 2003 Server goes fine, but when I attempt to "Continue Setup", I am met with the following error in the setup requirements: A network adapter must be installed, enabled, and configured with TCP/IP There is a network adapter on the laptop that appears to be working fine (status lights blink, etc.), however I can't get past this message to continue installation of SBS.

    - Laptops and SBS ? I've been looking for an overview of how to set up an XP/pro laptop so it can use domain resources (SBS2k for now) when in the dock, in the office and be usefull when detached from any network. For now Outlook uses a POP server via the internet, but eventually we will use the inside Exchange server. How do I set up a Mobile user to work standalone AND use the exchange server. I guess My Documents can be mirrored between the server and the laptop. How do I set this up ? Is there an analogous mirroring capability on Outlook and exchange ? We shared contacts to be accessale when offline, and resynced if the copy on the laptop is modified. When out of the office the user will be (a) completely detached (b) on a 56KB modem, and (c) on a broadband connection. How do I set up the machine to work in all cases ?

    - Client connection Hi all, I have one Win XP Pro client that just won't logon to SBS. All logon & passwords fail even though they work from other clients. Log on using the local admin password & when ipconfig /all - it points to the server! I can even ping the Sever & get replies even though I've not logged on to the SBS network. Any ideas?

    - SBS 2003 Setup 1st question, is there yet a discussion group or decent online resource for SBS 2003? I know this is probably asking a lot considering the age of the product. 2nd question, I have been attempting to setup up a dial up Internet connection on the server using the wizard that is accessible from the ' to do list '. This wizard appears outwardly to go through all the motions of setting up the connection. But when attempting to access the net on a client machine or even on the server itself no connection is made. I think I have found the script that the ICW creates (.vbs) and after checking through it appears that the wizard has not populated the phone number within the script (smodemPhoneNumber). I Have manually populated this and the server still does not attempt to make a connection. Does anyone have any ideas? Am I going massively wrong here?

    - Cloning server disk I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I've been looking over the past posts on this issue, but still don't feel all that confident. Intermittent disk errors (in system log) have been stopping Exchange, so I think that replacing the disk would be a good idea, although disk management doesn't report any problems. Since the server is 100 miles away I haven't been down there yet to run chkdsk. It's the first drive - two partitions (OS, pagefile and Exchange logs mostly) - IDE, no RAID (don't ask), basic disk. What's the best way to go about cloning the two partitions to a new disk (Ghost 2003?) and what problems am I likely to run into?

    - SBS2k hardware migration - anyone actually done it successfully? has anyone successfully moved an SBS2K install from one hardware platform to another, whilst keeping the Active Dicecotry info intact? Let's assume that the hardware is different (that being the most likely position here). I have dug around on this NG for ages now, started threads to ask Q's but, despite an amount of pointers and Q articles which cover bits of the process, no-one has actually come forward with a complete working procedure and Microsoft has nothing (I can find anyway). If someone has done this successfully, they would be immensly popular with me and many others if they could share their wizardly skills. Otherwise I am resigned to having to build a new box and completely re-set up every single damned PC and laptop, re-set up all the remote access functionality on each and re-install every client-server app for them all - a ruddy nightmare!!

    - Adding Client Pack Causes AD error Having re-built a Windows 2000 SBS Server last week all was running ok until I added the client pack to activate the additional 5 CAL's. This was a disk that had already been used so I needed to call MS for the password. After activating and re-booting the AD was completely screwed!!! When trying to run Active Directory Users and Computers I got: - "Naming information cannot be located because: The target principal name is incorrect. Contact your system administrator to verify that your domain is properly configured and is currently online." I followed the advice of some technet articles and postings here but the only way to fix the problem was to run DCPROMO remove the AD and DNS re-boot and re-create. I tested this 4 times and got exactly the same results every time. As soon as I built an SBS server (and SP'd it!) I ran DCPROMO created an AD and DNS (AD integrated or not makes no difference) then ran the client add pack the AD was screwed. I could not find any documentation that said you should not do it in this order - in fairness I haven't looked that hard after the fact! Also I am not sure if it will apply to new disks that have not as yet been used - I would hope not!! One to watch out for.. IanH... Tag: VPN into another Domain outside local domain Tag: 145396
