    - Backup Script Hi, Quick ?..... Have two servers currently. 1. SBS2000 used for normal SBS operation....exchange, SQL, file/print server. And then 2nd member server which runs a script every hour to copy all file from sbs2000 server that has changed in the last hour. However using the Xcopy script that I have made as time goes by the 2nd servers drives fill up because it does not compare the two it just adds the files but if I for instance archive something and delete it is still there. Although sometimes this can come in handy my drive is not infinite. Is there a better way of doing this or a utitlty that will compare the files from each server? Thanks Eddie Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122242

    - OWA on seperate server I have read on this site, it is not recommended to run OWA on the SBS box. We have a seperate Win2k server that we use to run our company website. (using a ISA publishing rule.) Would it be a good idea to move the OWA to this seperate server? Does anyone know of any instructions on how to do this (i.e. install OWA on a webserver?). We currently have OWA on the SBS box. Do I just need to recreate the webfolders in IIS (pointing them to the proper exchange folders)? In the end I want to purchase a Https certificate. If I have both sites on the same server can they share the same certificate? Thanks Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122240

    - Migrating email OK...finally got the go ahead to make the migration for my client's email from MailMax on their old server to Exchange on the SBS box I built for them. Old server is its own domain, has MailMax 4.8 on it and the clients use Outlook and OE to connect to it. They pull the email down, and it is deleted from the host. There is a fairly cheesy map of the network layout here: http://www.3nf-inc.com/ccc_network_map.htm Would moving the email be as simple as running the ICW, specifying mydomain.com as the address, and re-routing the mail ports to the SBS IP address? Just trying to make sure I don't miss a step and hose their systems... Exchange is currently running just fine for internal emails, but they are not using it. Very novice users here...I'm the entire IT department. :-) Any and all advice, links, etc is appreciated. Thanks! -- Kevin Hill 3NF Consulting www.3nf-inc.com/ Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange....

    - restoring exchange message store Hello group: My problem: Installed c/s/m suite, and because I could not get the virus definitions due to a problem with the serial number I ticked block all attachments, guess what? It deleted all of the attachments in the message store. I have my backups from exchange, and I would like to restore my mailboxes.

    - Exchange Data When my backups are run, my log reports that the mdb database files are being skipped! This makes me very uneasy as if this is taken literally, then no mail is being backed up. Log read as follows Media Name: "Media created 11/08/2003 00:44:06 " Backup of "I: Data1" Backup set #6 on storage media #1 Backup set description: "Backup 0064" Backup Type: FULL - Back Up Files - Reset Archive Bit Backup started on 11/08/2003 at 03:10:56 .

    - Mail services stopping frequently Hi all; I have a Small Business Server supporting 35 clients, fully patched, and the mail services stop on thier own, without warning. No pattern, no preceeding events in the application or system logs, they just stop. Typically, it involves the W3 service, Exchange routing, smtp, pop3, nntp, imap, all the core Exchange services. I have all the services set to auto- restart, but this is not enough... when they decide to take a powder, down it comes. They will restart manually. At one point, it was executing a .CMD file on third failure, but it has stopped doing that now. Any idea? Thanks, Troy at seabird dot ca Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122205

    - How to manage client upgrades from the Server Hi Excuse me for my ignorance on this issue but I have just taken over a domain where the clients do not have internet access (this is something I have never encountered before). Now because the client computers do not have internet access I want to utilize the SBS function of managing the software upgrades to the clients and load all the windows updates onto the server. This part I got and they are all sitting waiting for loading to the clients. Now we have the problem that as soon as you double click on any of the .exe's in the update files I get an error message saying that they are not valid win32 applications and it bombs out. Help! How do I effectively manage all the updates from one specific point? Any help would be appreciated. Jules Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122184

    - Two users with the same name ! Hello, We have a new employee starting in a weeks time, problem is that his name is the same as another employee here, I thought that SBS would let you have two users with the same name details as long as their usernames were different i.e. jsmith, jsmith2 etc, this isn't the problem. The add user wizard in SBS won't let me enter two users with the same first and second names. I know I could just have "John Smith 2" as his AD name, but any emails he sends will have the sender name as "John Smith 2" right? John Smith two will be taking a senior role and I don't want a scrappy looking "from" name on his emails. How can I get round this ? John Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122167

    - Can't restart OWA site On the weekend I restarted our SBS2K server as we were having some issues accessing our SQL server. On restarting the SQL server is fine but our OWA service was no longer visible. Via the console I see IIS - server - Default Web Site (Stopped) I tried to restart it but got 'Address already in use' There are some other web sites the Admin site (port 3467) & Symantec Anti-virus (port8081) are running fine and I can connect to them. I can't find what is using port 80 but I expect it is ISA server using it as a proxy. The server has a single NIC behind an ADSL router/firewall with port forewarding to port 80 on the server. I've tried changing the port for the default web site but it still doesn't work Any ideas? Cheers VikingBrad Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122132

    - Redirecting general email etc. Hi, I've posted this on the Exchange newsgroup as well. I'm the network administrator (sort of) for a network consisting of a Windows Small Business Server 2000 with 10 client workstations, most running NT4 SP6a, some on XP Pro. There are a couple of issues at present. 1) Before we got the server, we had a peer-to-peer LAN & all our email went to one address (bushfire@shoal.net.au). When we got the server, we got a domain name as well (b-es.com.au). It was set up so that all the email for a specific person could go to that person's Outlook inbox. However, to catch any messages addressed to the old email address, it was set up so they went to the boss's Outlook. He now wants them to be redirected to the receptionist's Outlook. On the server, I've gone into the Email Adresses tab on the boss's User Properties in Administrative Tools/AD Users & Computers, deleted the appropriate SMTP (b-es@shoal.net.au), and added it to the receptionist's one. Didn't work. I've looked at the Recipient Policy in Microsoft Exchange, but it only has the default polcy, got nothing about this that I can see. Help! 2) Related issue. The boss wants to set up some other general type email addresses, & have them go the receptionist as well. Do I just add them in her Email Addresses tab in AD Users & Computers? I tried it, but one of them wouldn't take, it was already being used, I assume it's related to the previous issue. ie he wants one of the general addresses to be bushfire@b-es.com.au. 3) More of an Outlook question, but may be related to the previous questions. We are all running Outlook 2002, & I set up some Public folders for contacts, staff movements etc. After I set them up, I went around & ticked the option "Show this folder as an email Address Book" on the various client machines & made it the default address book etc. However, this option is greyed out on the receptionist's Outlook. When I created the public folders, in Permissions I set the default Permission Level to Editor. When this problem occurred on the receptionist's machine, I specifically added her in the permissions as an editor. Still coudn't add the contacts as an address Book for her. What gives? 4) Finally, any ideas about stopping SPAM. Do I push for a corporate solution like "Trend Micro", or can I get away with one of the freebies around such as Ella. If its for Outlook, can it work with Exchange, or do I need something specifically for Exchange rather than just Outlook? Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122131

    - Exchange Server Issues Background:SBS 2K running on single server. Local domain cts.local. (192.168.1.2) 2 NIC cards 1 for internal LAN, 1 for 56k dial up modem. Internal NIC goes to Ethernet wireless access point (192.168.1.1) 5 client computers running win 2k or xp pro all configured with firewall client. DHCP from server is running, all clients configured for DHCP. IP's assigned dynamically. Earthlink as ISP. Modem hooked directly to phone source. ISA server configured with internet filters enabled. All client computers access internet through proxy server local address 192.168.1.2. IE connections set for proxy server 192.168.1.2(8080) Exchange server running with default configurations. All clients have internal accounts as username@cts.local. Running Outlook 2002. What's Working: All clients can access the internet. Configured Exchange pop3 connector with 3 clients using mail account information from earthlink and internal user. Scheduled to contact earthlink each hour during the day. At present all clients are receiving mail from ISP via exchange server. Clients can address email to internal users and email is sent and received correctly. What's Not: Sending email externally does not work. When addressing email in outlook to an external email address, outbox shows mail being sent and sent mail registers as being sent. However no outside email address is being reached. When checking server protocol SMTP external outbound mail is showing in the queue as addresses unreachable and in some cases delayed. Have forced email to be sent by forcing connection and enumerating 100 messages. Email recipients report that reply address is shown as my local domain (not registered with earthlink) and any attempt to reply results in mail not deliverable from outside source. Help: I am looking for any assistance possible. Resources for learning about outbound mail from Exchange or specific how to's on setting up a local LAN that connects to an ISP for internal and external email. Any help would appreciated. Thank you in advance. Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122063

Noticed that i couldn't use netmeeting desktop sharing (to the virtual client) when NAT was present. when NAT gone then sharing worked no problem. even tried this from outside my network which is running thru a nat enabled dlink router and still the same. Is there an issue with NAT and netmeeting? the vmware server is set up as having the usual 2 nic setup internal 192.168.7.xx external 192.168.0.xx (which is my internal home lan anyway) any ideas?

    - even when bored one should be careful OR MAYBE, _despite_ being bored one should be careful. Work's been a bit slow this week, patching is down on the LoungeAN SO let's play around a bit. I think it was Wednesday night I installed GFI's 'Mail Security' trial, and probably Thurs morn when I asked it to scan everything, incoming, outgoing, and internal. With the default rules in place I suggest this is not a good idea. Mail Security finished scanning my slow IO (ATA33) system some time Friday. The near 1000 alert messages are OK (ctrl-a markasread) but the GB of files it quarantined stopped Exchange due to space for both the databases and the damned logfiles (another couple of GB) really cheesed me off, should it not stop before consuming everything but 233KB of HDD? Glad it wasn't my OS partition :-) HEY, now all I gotta do is logon to the server and use Outlook to OK the remaining 450 (I've already done several hundred) quarantined items BECAUSE THE USELESS PIECE OF RUBBISH (sorry, I'm upset) DOESN'T HAVE A QUARANTINE CONSOLE (that I can find) where I can 'bulk release' the items. AND it seems to have blown Exchange's 'single instance storage', my exchange DB has grown by near 100% due to this experiment. GFI Mail Security may suit some people's/organisation's purposes but I doubt I'll be implementing it anywhere. Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 122024

    - Remote setup - Laptop/Desktop of Windows XP Pro The boss has a laptop which was configured on the network and used at the office initially. Then he wanted to use it from home over his cable modem. A VPN connection was setup for him to use the laptop at home. Interesting (and nice) he was able to logon to the Windows XP Pro laptop at home onto the domain. Appears Windows XP cached the information and allowed the login. Cool! Once he configured his network settings to use the cable modem, he established the VPN connection to the office and everything worked as though he was onsite. Excellent! Now he says for the cost of a cheap computer he would rather setup a desktop at home. Unit was ordered and configured the same as the laptop. He takes it home and tries to login to the domain (just as he does with the laptop) and he cannot since the domain controller can't be found. Bummer! OK - Can someone explain to me why it worked (surprisingly) with the laptop and not the desktop? Is there some setting that can be configured to allow the desktop to work as the laptop does? TIA, Gerry Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 121946

    - SBS Server VPN speed and mapping problems. Hello, I wonder if anybody can help me please. We are setting up SBS on a server. We will want to VPN into it from a number of laptops in order to deal with exchange email, and file/print share. The server is a test one intially. It is a celeron 1700 with 128Mb and a 70 gig drive. We have managed to pinhole the server's adsl router and we can dial into the server with VPN from a remote laptop using a telephone line. Bus it is unbelievably slow, even to send a simple massage, and will not see the users shared folders etc. Q1. What things are the main governing factors surrounding the VPN speed problem we have. Q2. Why cant we see the shared resources when we VPN (and we can if we use the same laptop locally). Thanks in anticipation. Robert Morris Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 121936

    - Exchange Information Store won't mount. My client has SBS2000 SP3 and receintly had a system crash due to a bad memory module. All data including the exchange server is on a separate drive from the system drive and was intact. The SBS server was re-built from scratch and everything seems to be OK, except the Exchange information store does not mount. There are no error messages other than PerfLib errors in the Event log and the services are all running. Using the Administrator console, right clicking on the mailbox store or the public folder store and choosing "Mount Store" I get the folowing error: "An internal processing error has occurred. Try restarting the the Exchange System Manager or the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, or both. ID no: c1041724 Exchange System Manager" I have tried everything without success and need some assistance. They also have been operating on a back-up SBS 2000 Exchange server in the mean time and that data needs be migrated to the main server once I can get it running.

    - Upgrade from NFR to OEM SBS2K I am building a new server, and I have installed my NFR version of SBS 2000 SP1 for testing and configuration purposes. I intend to install the server and "go live" next weekend, however the SBS2K I ordered (legit) won't be in till late next week, its backordered. Can I do an inplace upgrade from my NFR version to the OEM version without violating licensing or screwing up my configurations?

    - NT 4 upgrade to SBS 2000 successful Hi, gang-- I just wanted to report on my experience upgrading an NT 4 domain controller to SBS 2000 on new hardware. It went beautifully. I spent several days rehearsing the procedure on test equipment in our office. On a Monday morning I took a spare server to the client and did a scratch install of NT 4; in 45 minutes the spare was set as a backup domain controller and I was on my way back to the office. I spent the rest of Monday working on the project. First, I mirrored the drive in the spare machine, disconnected it, and put it aside just in case. I deleted the references to the existing server, forced the BDC to become a PDC, and then upgraded it to Windows 2000. Then I connected it to the new server, ran DCPROMO on the new server, and I was almost ready to go. I found that I needed DNS on both servers (may not happen automatically). It also helps a lot if each server has the DNS of the other server as an alternate in the TCP/IP properties of the network card-- that way, the domain transfer goes smoothly. I finally decided to run DCPROMO on the spare to demote it while still connected so that the five FSMO roles got transferred automatically; in my testing, I had trouble when I simply disconnected the spare-- and I had the mirror drive on the side if I had to start over again. The final catch was that the new server was not a global catalog server; I had to tell it that it was a GC. After all that, the new server was all set for SBS 2000. The biggest disappointment was in having to use a new server name, because the existing server's name had an underscore in it. If not for that, the new server could have been dropped in almost unnoticed; instead, using a second switch, we spent all of Friday transferring one workstation at a time to the "new network." In the end we migrated about 25 workstations over 12 hours on Friday and 5 hours Saturday morning with almost no downtime to the client. (Lots of people were off that Friday, so as we worked on the workstations of the missing people, the others continued to work off the old server and an additional SQL server that remained functional throughout.) Thanks to Jeff and everyone else for blazing the trail ahead of me; I really looked like a genius! Tag: sbs 2000 migrating exchange.... Tag: 121886

    - New VPN: DNS won't resolve I'm trying to bring up a new VPN on our SBS2K system and only have it half working. DNS won't resolve names on the remote side. I can use MSTSC to administer it if I specify the IP address manually, but cannot access the server by name. Share browsing won't work either. Remote system is SBS 2K SP1 & Win2K SP4, and is a 2 NIC system with ISA running and the WAN NIC connected to Covad ADSL with a Zyxel 643 modem/router. The client is my XP Pro SP1 computer at home hooked up to a Netgear FR114P and Verizon DSL. I set up the VPN according to 320697 (How to Turn On And Configure Inbound VPN Access In Small Business Server 2000) and also followed Q292822, and had earlier set the system up with 2 NIC's per Q306802 when we first got DSL. On the server side, the network is setup this way: Static IP from covad 68.xx.xx.xx (our router) to 68.xx.xx.yy SALEMTV1 WAN side to 172.20.1.x VPN static address range in RRAS per recommendation (172.20.1.2-254) to 192.168.0.1 Salemtv1.salemtv1.local LAN side 192.168.0.x Internal LAN clients 192.168.0.1 DNS 192.168.0.1 WINS Doing an ipconfig /all from the server: Windows 2000 IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : salemtv1 Primary DNS Suffix . . . . . . . : salemtv1.local Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : Yes WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : *.salemtv1.local Ethernet adapter LAN Port (INTEL PRO 1000 Gigabit: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/1000 XT Network Connection Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-C0-9F-04-F5-61 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1 Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 Ethernet adapter WAN Port: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/100 S Desktop Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-02-B3-CC-25-A3 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 68.165.80.99 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.248 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 68.165.80.97 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1 Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Disabled PPP adapter RAS Server (Dial In) Interface: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.20.1.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Disabled And IPCONFIG /ALL from my client machine: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : wakko Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : local salemtv1.local Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : verizon.net Description . . . . . . . . . . . : NETGEAR FA311/312 PCI Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-02-E3-12-64-5A Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 151.203.0.85 151.203.0.84 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Thursday, August 07, 2003 8:58:58 AM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Sunday, August 10, 2003 8:58:58 AM PPP adapter Salem Access Television VPN: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : salemtv1.local Description . . . . . . . . . . . : WAN (PPP/SLIP) Interface Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-53-45-00-00-00 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 172.20.1.4 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.20.1.4 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 Primary WINS Server . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1 In my client VPN connection, the "Default Gateway on Remote Network" is checked, though I have tried it both ways with the same result.

I have a SBS 2000 that is running exchange on it. The
server is old and is running on it's last leg. I have
another box that I have loaded 2000 server on it. I have
kept the new server as a workgroup and I have connected it
to the network. On the old machine, I have mapped a drive
to the new machine and I am trying to use the exchange
migration wizard and it's not allowing me to migrate the
directory to the new folder on the new drive.

I would love to have all of the data moved to the new
server and keep the same ip address as the old.

I have read the article on 'How to Upgrade SBS 4.X to SBS
2000 on a new computer'. Can anyone help???
