    - Cannot find server or DNS error I have added a new XP client to SBS 2000, can logon and access the server but when I attempt to use IE I get "The page cannot be displayed" Is there a license other then a CAL that controls the number of IE sessions? My first though was a license problem with the firewall but I increased the number of users but it had no effect. Any suggestions or references to resolve greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Steve Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176541

    - Exchange upgrade I have an SBS 2000 server which had surpassed the 16GB database limit. I temporarily increased the database limit to 17GB and then upgraded Exchange to 2003 Standard edition with 5 users but SBS still has its 30 licenses installed. Now I need to upgrade the Exchange 2003 licenses to 20 but cannot figure out how to add for Exchange only. Is there a way? Or what will happen if I upgrade SBS 2000 to 2003 now after having installed a non-SBS version of Exchange? Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176540

    - SBS2000 Licensing I have a customer running SBS2000 wishing to add more users. We have purchased the SBS2003 cals, applied our downgrade rights and asked our supplier for SKU-807-00144 (SBS2000 licensing media), only to be told that the product is no longer available. How can I get round the situation? Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176536

    - Terminal Server thru VPN Hello,performed reinstall with SP1a and IIS lockdown and Terminal Server Update and replacing WebConsole in the WebAdmin folder. Problem is we are able to VPN to the network and access shared folders but are unable to start a TS session with "myconsole". Any tips on how to troubleshoot this? Only error in the event log is something about a L2TP certificate not being valid or something like that. Thanks. Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176532

    - Install Firewall Client on Server a no,no? We have an independent server program that needs to go out and transmit encrypted packets on port 0443 or 5845 for various authorizations and credit card transactions. Program updates for this software is also done thru port 12345. The only way I have been able to get this done is by installing the firewall client on the server, though the program updates still don't work. The firewall client warns not to do this when installing. Since doing this, Exchange has become unstable with mostly the service attendant not starting on boot leading to all other exchange services not starting therefore taking exchange server down. I'm not sure if the firewall client is the cause of this but it seems likely. Is there another way to allow that program to be able to transmit on those ports and not install the firewall client on the server? Thanks. Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176530

    - bad cn for a user. how to fix? One of our users's accounts whose account name has been changed is still resolving incorrectly in some cases. On our sbs2k domain our users try to address an email to a new employee. They begin typing in the to: field the person's name, the auto-fill / nick name feature suggests New User <OUser>. Alas! Where OUser stands for the old username alias (first initial, last name) before the account was renamed. I've deleted the outlook nickname file / username cache file, and it goes away until the 2nd time the user is emailed, somehow Outlook reads the bad username back in. I've triple-checked all the active directory user properties I could, and I've never had this problem before. I then was looking at the to: field "Select Names" user description at I noticed that the Name = New User, but the email addres was: /o=OURDOMAIN/ou=first administrative group/cn=Recipients/cn=OUser Where can I change this? I can't seem to get to the root of this problem. I am wondering if I have a corrupt AD record. Irritated over small, yet persistant problems, Thanks, Joe Tag: moving users to other OU's...

    - Disaster recovery exercise hi all I'm have trouble with rebuilding my SBS2K offline on a new machine (named SONE) (with different hardware). A clean SBS2K has been installed on SONE, Exchange SP3 and SBS2K SP1 has also been installed. Then I try restored the system state from the backup. Everythings look fine till this point. I restarted the server, and while starting Windwos, a blue screen came up.... said somthing like "INASSESSBLE_BOOT_DEVICE"... So I thought that was because of the different hardware so I tried to repair the windows using the SBS2K Disk 1. However, the blue screen is not going away after the repair... same error message says "INASSESSBLE_BOOT_DEVICE"... The existing SBS2K is running on a RAID5 SCSI HDDs, and SONE only got 2 IDE HDDs... would this be the cause of the problem? How can i fix it? I'm planing to rebuild SONE (again!), so I'd appreciate if anyone can show me the right direction. All I want is to rebuild SONE offline and replace the current one when it's ready. thanks in advance. shawn Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176521

    - Lost Internet access after added in admin group I have a SBS 2000, the clients are XP running through a simple router and dsl line. I added a domain user to the admin group of a local PC and now the user can not get on the Internet(The page cannot be displayed). I removed the user from the admin group but they still can not get on. I rebuilt this machine three times and everytime I add a domain user to the local admin group I lose Internet access. All other network functions are fine. I am running DHCP and my setting do not change, and I can't access sites I know about using just IP addresses, so I don't think it is a DNS issue. If I logon to the machine as adminitrator I have Internet access. I am not sure if this is a SBS or what? Thanks for any input. Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176506

    - lat table - very slow access to the server hi i seem to be getting slow access to the sbs 2000 server from wndows xp clients. one of the configurations that the sbs 2000, two nics and a dynamic ip address, isa and a modem\router needs is to exclude the external nic from the lat range. See below. f. Check to make sure the External NIC IP address is not included in the LAT range. SBS Console | Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000 | Servers and Arrays | | Network Configuration | Local Address Table (LAT) the question i have is - if my internal network is set to 10.1.1.10 and my external network is set to 192.168.1.2 what should i put in the range in the lat to exclude the external nic? also, i have followed the following doco see below http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=151 and my clients have very, very slow access to the server. What can be the problem? i have run an ipconfig from the workstatons and it comes up with ip address in the 10.1.1.x range, subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, gateway is the server ip address and dns is the server ip address and dhcp is the server ip address. The sbs firewall client is configured on each workstation. If i try to do an nslookup of the server from the client machine via machine name it comes up that it cannot find the dns server and the dns server is unknown. Then it returns the server name and ip address. The same thing happens if i try to run nslookup from the server. Clients are running wndows xp sp2. The windows xp sp2 firewall is turned off. I need help ASAP. The connection to the server was running ok, we went on holidays and came back to find very slow access to the server. It has gradually gotten slower and slower. any ideas? thanks Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176502

    - Best way to give user access to files and directories We just installed a windows 2003 server that is a member of a windows 2000 domain. We are planning to move the user files and directories off the 2000 server and onto the 2003 because of space issues. Each user has a home directory and some are sharing folder inside that directory with other users. I noticed that when I can here that most if not all of the directories have group Everyone listed in the permissions and security which makes me think that all users can access all directories. My question is what is the best way to tighten up the accesss to the files to only allow each user access to their own directory and grant permission to some files within that to some other users. And at what level does Group Everyone need to be at, and what permission does that group need. Thanks Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176484

    - cached mode (smtp) and pop account Inheritance Network MD = POP account users = pop account = Exchange as storage. MD wants exchange but wants to download his mail whilst at home via his pop account. Would this still work...... Just wondering if one uses cached mode in the office and once home they connect to their home lan network and receive mail via another pop account would the mail go the offline folder. The network is not fully exchange enabled Just wondering since i can't test this scenario but I'm sure it would work. April Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176480

(we have him login into his XP Pro box as a "local (this machine)" user ... when he has used this XP Pro machine inside our firewall and logs in to the network he can access the internet (i.e. no firewall restrictions on either this machine or this network user) is there a "cookbook" somewhere that shows how to set up an SBS 2000 server and an external (from the internet) client ... that allows the client to access the SBS Shares and Exchange (using Outlook 2002 client) and still have Internet access ??? thanks Tag: moving users to other OU's...

    - Unable to Stop/Start Services, Access Windows Update, Uninstall, e We intended on upgrading from SBS 2000 to 2003 and ran into a lot of trouble. First, we tried to free up some space on the hard disk and were unable to uninstall 2 different programs - it would just stop responding. Also, when we started the installation of 2003, it would hang up at the begininning where it was checking the setup requirements (specifically 18 of 42). Also, when we tried to stop and start any of the services - it would timeout. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on or have any suggestions for going forward? Apart from this, everything else seems to be running okay. Thanks for any help you can provide. Kerri Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176476

    - Top three SPAM Filters for SBS 2003 Would someone be nice enough to give me the top three: 1. SMTP 2. POP3 PS I am running SP1 on my SBS 2003 system.

I imagine the IMF is only SMTP-based and I have a few clients that *must* use the POP3 connector to accomodate all the remote users (100s) that must have email accounts that cannot be created on the SBS Server.

    - Desktop icons vanish Only one laptop user out of a dozen or so is getting this issue, even though all of them move between offices. We have My Documents and the Desktop redirected to the user's home drive on the server. The home drives are replicated via DFS between the servers at 3 offices, as we have desktop users who travel themselves between these offices and need local access. This user is returning to his normal office and logging on OK. All his desktop icons appear. However, sometime during the morning (let's say 1-2 hours later) his desktop will vanish. I check the DFS and the icons will have disappeared across all the servers. I then have to restore from tape. The Desktop is part of his redirected My Documents, but nothing else in that folder disappears, and the Desktop folder remains, albeit empty. Any ideas why this would happen, and where that delay in them disappearing comes from? Cheers Rob Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176471

    - HTTP Redirector: Send To Requested Web Server Hello, I am STILL puzzled by the HTTP Redirector. Does this effectively disable the cache for ALL clients? I have enabled this setting and it DOES resolve an authentication problem I had with a particular site. On page 531 of "ISA Server 2000: Building Firewall for Windows 2000" (Shinder), we get the following: "Use this option if you NEVER want SecureNAT and Firewall Clients to access the web proxy service for HTTP requests". Fair enough. My understanding of the isaserver.org article "Configuring Web Proxy Clients for Direct Access" is that this option merely "ALLOWS" clients to bypass the cache (rather than prevents them for accessing it): http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring_Web_Proxy_Clients_for_Direct_Access.html All my workstations have the Firewall Client loaded. I "reset" the ISA Cache and expected it to remain empty. Files are starting to reapper. How can this be? Sincere apologies if this is a daft question, but the penny just has not dropped.

    - server memory 99% full Hello helpful people, I have a 2000 SBS server for a network of 12 users. over the weekend, my email has dried up and I cant receive any. i have spoken to my ISP and he asked me to check out the server. i have done this and see that the memory is 99% full, which I guess isnt helping matters. Is there a way that I can go into the server and delete old/unused/irrelevant items to free up space? grateful for any assistance. Thanks Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176460

    - DNZ issues. Hi Dear Hope you are doing fine. I have a problem was wondering if you can assist me. Here is the Scenario. I have two DMZ Web servers windows 2000 behind the firewall let's call them DMZ1 and DMZ2 I have two Application member servers inside of firewall let's call them Server1"Win2000" and Server2 "Win 2003". All the servers can ping to each other but when I want to ping by name from DMZ web servers to the member servers I can not. I can not access or map any folders from DMZ servers to the Member Servers. And that started lately. I don't know what to do. I have release or bypassed the rights in the firewall for accessing DMZ to the member servers. I have included all the server names in the "HOST" and "LMHOST" in all the 4 servers. Do you know what is wrong? I know DNS is the problem since I can ping to ip address but not name. What can I do to fix it, because people remotely with FTP or directly within the network try to access some apps from DMZ to the Member servers but they get access denied or network can not be found error? Thanks a lot. Eric evartan@yahoo.com Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176452

    - SQL 2000 sp4 stops SBS2003 setup I am adding CRM3.0 to my SBS 2003 setup. CRM 3 requires SQL 2000 with sp4. Having installed sp4, I then needed to run SBS setup for another component. The setup failed when checking its components stating that SBS needed SQL sp3. It clearly isn't recognising sp4. Is there a fix for this? Setup aborted at this point and wouldn't let me continue. Does this mean I need to roll back the sp4 to sp3 in order to make changes to SBS setup? Admin Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176447

    - SBS2003 and DSL Modems. First off, Thanks for reading this post. Iâ??m a bit new to what Iâ??m trying to do in this post, so if this sounds a bit simple to some, please pass anything you can along to me. I am trying to get SBS2003 to play well with a DSL Modem/Router. The Server has an inside and outside NIC card. We attempted to get a connection to the Internet two ways. #1, Connect the DSL Modem to the outside NIC, turn off the router functions, and let SBS2003 handle all of the connection information. User Name, Password and so on. The Modem dials out, but the IP address coming back from the modem is not the static number that we have. Tried several modems from the DSL provider, but the problem is between SBS2003 and the DSL Modem. Unfortunately the DSL provided will not allow â??Otherâ?? brands of modems so we are stuck. This modem will simply not pass on the Static IP address that is ours, and provides a phantom address, which renders this useless in this configuration. So seeing that this will not work, no matter what we try, we moved to connection #2. #2, Connect the DSL Modem to the network switch, turn ON the router functions, and let the Modem/Router handle all connection information, Username, Password and so on. Making sure the Server now knows the Internet Gateway is the router that is on the switch. This works fine, but we can not provide for most of the needed functions of SBS2003 from the outside world. The most we get is Internet to all of the machines. Remote Access, Remote Mail, Remote Desktop among other things simply will not work with this configuration. We know this. And connecting this configuration to the outside NIC also does not work since the Server and the Router functions fight with each other and the Static IP again is not passed to the server. But the odd thing, the STATIC IP address is showing in this configuration but will not pass off to the server no matter what we try with Configuration #1 or #2. This sent us in many directions, and our final thought was to try what we are trying now. I will give a bunch of fake IP numbers just to show what directions we are moving in right now. We have connected the DSL Modem to a Linksys Router BEFSR41. In the router, DHCP is turned off, and it is given an IP of 192.168.30.1 We have also programmed in the static IP address given by the Modem. The Linksys router is then connected to the server through its outside NIC with an IP address of 192.168.30.2 All pertinent Gateway, Subnet and DNS information is programmed into the Linksys Router as well. The outside NIC on the server is then given the IP of 192.168.30.2, Subnet of 255.255.255.0, Gateway of 192.168.30.1 (the Linksys Router) and the DNS of the router 192.168.30.1 And finally, the DMZ of the Linksys Router is turned on for the IP address of the Outside NIC of the server. (192.168.30.2) In theory, what we think should have happened was to basically get by the DSL Modem Problem by making the DSL Modem and the LinkSys Router one big Cable Modem that just hands over to the server a Static IP address (192.168.30.1) from the router, and make it think itâ??s the outside one and let the router deal with the DSL Modem problem on not handing off our Real static IP address. This works, for about 90% of what we need. We are able to connect to our serverâ??s remote sites, (http://remote.whatever.com/remote) and we are able to check mail, and most of the other functions of the remote area, but we are unable to connect to a remote desktop at all. When we choose this selection, it sends us the certificate to allow us to get into the remote area. Then it displays the lists of machines on the network. When we click on one of the machine to remotely work on that machine, it does nothing until it ultimately times out. I know this is a long shot, but has anyone else ever had problems with DSL like we have and connecting DSL with SBS2003, or have ever tried what we are trying. It seems for the most part we are on the right path since we have more and more things that we are able to do, but there is something missing that we canâ??t quite figure out that might be on the Server end or the Modem/Linksys end, and we are now stumped. We canâ??t figure out why SBS2003 will not work with DSL Cable Modems, and we have also found that there are many people who have the same problems when trying to let SBS2003 do the dialing, login and password functions of the DSL Modem. So we have tried other routes as I have said, with great results but can not get there 100%. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on our problem. I know this is not something that everyone would or should try, but we are trying to keep things as secure as possibly and still have our remote access with this stubborn DSL Modem and Company. Thanks for all the help! Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176444

    - Quick Explanation? I'm considering Small Business Server 200X for our office. Back in the day, when NT 4.0 was the thing to run, there were two types of licensing - per server and per seat. How does microsoft currently license their server technology? I have an office with 7 people, potentially 11 more VPN'ing in to join the network. I don't know if concurrent connections, etc... affect the terms. OBD Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176442

    - Stopping Exchange and SQL before backup I need to delete and re-create an array on my SBS 2k server which contains the system volume, as well as SQL and part of Exchange (not MDBDATA). I intend to do a core OS install, followed by full restore from tape (Backup Exec 8.5 for SBS). If I stop Exchange and SQl services before I run a backup, could I restore Exchange and SQl from full file copies of their directories when I'm doing the primary OS restore from tape? Exchange and SQL would not even exist yet on any drives as part of the core OS install. It doesn't seem as though log files would be an issue that way (they are not even on the array being re-created). Perhaps I'd have to change the Exchange or SQL startup types. I'm not in disaster recovery mode and have some leeway. I could use the Backup Exec agents for Exchange and SQL (and do have backups), but I would like to minimize the efforts required.

    - Replace SBS 2000 with Windows Server 2003 We have a SBS 2000 domain controller and want to replace it with a new Windows 2003 Server. Can we upgrade our 50 SBS2k licenses to our new server or do we need to buy new 2003 licenses? Also, would we be able to configure our new 2003 server in our existing 2000 domain to get all the Active Directory settings, Exchange mailboxes, etc. and then demote our SBS to a member server? We want to continue using it just as a file server. Many thanks Dan Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176414

    - upgrade question I'm close to migrating from a SBS2000 domain to a full Windows 2003. I have had Exchange 2003 and SQL 2000 running on different boxes for awhile now. I use a Cisco PIX as my firewall. I don't want to go to SBS2003. After moving some final data/components off of the SBS2000 machine/domain controller - and a few other tasks - I need to retire the SBS2000 machine. My plan is the following and I have a few questions that I'd appreciate any help with: 1) Remove an existing Windows 2000 DC from the network - as a "DC in the closet" fallback option 2) Install a Windows 2003 machine and promote it to a DC in the SBS 2000 domain. Also setup DNS on this machine and make it a GC. 3) Shutdown the SBS2000 machine and use ntdsutil to seize all FSMO roles to the Windows 2003 DC. Q: Would this be the recommended method for getting rid of the SBS2000 machine? Q: Should I dcpromo it then shut it down (if it even can be dcpromo'd) or just shut it down and remove it from the network? 4) Use ntdsutil to clean up metadata that refers to the former SBS2000 machine. Remove references to the old server from DNS. Q: What would be the best method for doing the DNS cleanup? * After the above steps I hope to have the same domain but with the SBS2000 box removed and the domain now running as a full Windows 2003 domain. Q: Will the above steps effectively get me to a full Windows 2003 domain? Thanks Tag: moving users to other OU's... Tag: 176403

    - cannot log into computer, exchange down, dns issues Hi, We are experiencing some major problems with our sbs2k server: After typing in the domain admin user/pass at the login prompt, the prompt disappears leaving a light blue screen. The computer stays at this screen and will remain unresponsive until the power is switched off manually. Before turning it off, we are able to access the shared folders on it (although slow), terminal server sessions open, but remain black (dead) and backup jobs will run, although they will not fully complete. Exchange is down. After the server is turned back on, it runs normally again, until the issue recurs, which is usually the following morning. While the computer is running, I have been examining the event logs and I have discovered the following: at seemingly random times, we get three instances of DNS error event id 4004, and 5 minutes later, followed by recurring instances of DNS error event id 4000, every 5 minutes.

I moved one of our users from one OU where group policy applied to the
"administrators" OU where the "admins" group is skipped when it comes to
applying the GP. However, the group policy has not been applied to this user
yet (it has been over 2 days) - and I am thinking there is obviously a
problem here.

Any ideas what to check?

Thanks,
