    - hosting OWA with ssl on different port I setup everything for owa to run on an other port (temp. enabled both port 443 & e.g. 1234), but somehow when I browse to the external address with the normal port (443) everything works, when I try the other address (1234) I only get a white page with title 'The page cannot be displayed'. When I use the internal address, both work. Other fact: I don't have a valid certificate. When I browse internal using both portnumbers (443 & 1234) or normal external (443) I get a 'warning'. When using the other port on the external interface, I don't get that message. HC Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127295

    - internet connection the company is using microsoft small businee server 2000, it is used as microsoft exchange server for e-mails but it does not host the web site. all other computers on the network connect to the internet via the server. the problem i have got is that the internet connetion seems to connect and stay connected when there is only the server and only 1 other computer connected to the network, there is no users using the other computer because it is in a locked office. i have set the e-mail retrieval to every hour monday to friday 0600 to 1800 as i thought that this could be the problem, but it still connects randomly and the last time it was left unchecked and stayed connect for 5 days, this connect is sending and recieving data. has anybody any ideas how to stop this problem andy Tag: Log on/off log?

    - Antivirus for Exchange We are currently running Norton Antivirus 7.5 corporate edition to protect our serer and desktops. It is working very well. All desktops are forced to install the antivirus as part of login script. It doesn't let a user open an attachment without saving it to disk first at which point it scans it for viruses. My questions are: 1. What are the advantages of an Exchange aware A/V over the above setup? 2. What Exchange protection would you recommend? 3. How does this compare with the SMTP filtering through ISA Feature Pack? 4. What are your thoughts on ISA antivirus protection? ie Benefit vs Cost? My current inclination is to look at the Symantec enterprise products (MailProtection etc) as I am hoping they will share the same scan engine as our existing corporate edition. Another cosideration is content filtering (email & web) which I will have to address at some point in the future. If I could get that now it would be a bonus. -- Darwood - MCP, MCSE Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127277

When we VPN into the server from remote locations we get 'disconnected' after varying amounts of time. We were testing 3 different laptops: 1 using a telephone line, and the other 2 from another office behind a simple router. We 'usually' get in ok (why not every time?), but then the laptops seem to get disconnected (from the VPN only) after varying times of between 2 and 15 minutes. Any ideas ?

    - User rights and login script SBS Hello, On NT4, Win2000 and XP I have encountered the same problem. I don't want users on workstations to have local admin. rights but when I change the rights to power user. Every next time they login they get a message when the login script is run about not being a member of the admin group. Is there a way to get rid of this message ? or can I give users full rights to run only the script (I need to block settings on the workstations because some people tend to fiddle with computer settings they shouldn't fiddle with! plus illegal software installations, etc,etc) Thanks in advance for your help Len Geeve Gorinchem, Netherlands lendrix2000@hotmail.com Tag: Log on/off log?

I am using the ISDN ISP to send email which does not require outgoing authentication. The problem is, I must set up each users computer to send and receive Internet email at each individual workstation. I know that this can be done all at the server but I cant get it to work.

    - SBS 2k - ISA I dont normally install ISA as SBS install however I have done it twice now and both times ISA behaves differently to a standard version of ISA. The issue I am having is ISA appears to work fine ports are locked users cannot access certain protocols etc etc however the users can get internet access without a proxy configuration in their IE setup. The usual configuration of servername:8080 does not work. Whenever I have done this normally i have always had to use a proxyserver:portname in IE on the clients ? is this something different with an SBS build ? do I need to care about it seeing that its working anyway ? oh server is dual homed direct into a router and the other to a switch.

    - Restoring SBS2K from Scratch We had a system crash and we are trying to get it back up. Backup was ran using BackupExec 8.6 SBS edition. First problem is the version of SBS that we are working with does not allow parallel install (no option during setup to pick WinNT directory). Then after we get the systme up and running, all ok at this point. We try to restore AD and and then all hell breaks loose. We lose all the drivers for NICs (called MS on this one and ended up worse than before I called them). We also can't get the Exchange to restore, keep getting error that the restore loses connection or something. I know there are a lot of issue with restoring SBS, but it has to be recoverable. Any links to how to get this thing back up and running would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, called Veritas and they say everything should be working.... Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127201

    - Auto-disconnect failing I have an SBS2K SP3 server setup with ISA and a dial-up connection to the Internet via a modem. The dial-up is set to disconnect after 1 minute inactivity. This is failing and the modem is staying connected. It was working originally and has now stopped for some reason. No new apps have been loaded and there are no errors in event viewer. I have checked for viruses and ad programs and none are running. I have applied the blaster and nachi updates in case of those issues and have tested the server in isolation in case it was a workstation causing traffic. WHat I notice is that when the dial-up is monitored using the systray icon every 30 secs or so there appears to be a few packets, this must be the server as there were no workstations running. My next option is to apply SP4 ( sbs SP1a) and see if that helps but any other suggestions or known issues would be helpful. regards Steve Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127185

    - easy ISA question? I'm running SBS2k. I'm working on trying to limit a packet filter to a specific range of external computers - not just one IP... (It works correctly right now with the "All remote computers" option, but I want to limit the remote access for security reasons)... So, after the packet filter is set up, if I choose properties on the Remote Computer tab, there is an option "This range of computers". Since my user has a dynamic IP - but it is always an IP within a certain range, can I setup a subnet/mask to only allow computers from her IP range? How do I do that? I'm not 100% how subnet and mask relate - I guess I expected the choice to be more of a range like 24.x.x.x to 24.y.y.y or something like that... Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127143

    - Unknown virus/trojan attack Hello all: I think that one of our XP workstations has been compromised with some sort of backdoor / trojan control that is NOT being detected by Symantec AVCE v 8.0 with the most current LiveUpdate defs. When users login, I can see a window titled "update" that starts up in the bottom taskbar next to the start button. If I click on it, I can freeze it for a few seconds, and one time I was able to read additional windows titled with expletives, etc. I have physically removed this machine from the network until it can be fixed. I have looked for unknown programs in the registry key Run, but I don't see anything unusual. This machine did have a virus named Hacktool that was quarantined by SAVCE.

    - Anti-Virus Question We are running Symantec's Corporate Edition on the SBS2000 and all clients, where updates and schedules are tweaked on the server and relayed to all clients. At the moment, two machines on our LAN do not have AV on them, as the users insist that AV slows down their machine...in fact, he showed me a program he ran on a large database file (GB's worth) and it took double the amount of time than it did with no AV running. Although we disabled the Heuristics in Symantec's BloodHound technology etc..., it still made a difference. I am concerned about these two machines running no AV. I want to install a "light" AV so at least I know that the machines are covered but will not interupt or slow down programs being run (data processing!). Can someone help me and tell me what is a good "light" AV product to buy that is easy on processing power. The machines in question are Windows2000, SP4 patched with all updates and Blaster. The two guys VPN in a lot from home and abroad, so they could easily infect their machines! skc Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127102

    - Public Folder has unvisible owner - no access for other users Hi, I'm having problems with my public folders. After a complete SBS 2000 re-install (we had a major server crash last week) I've restored all mailboxes and public folders. The mailbox restore went ok, but all public folders now seem to have owners that do not exist on this new system: instead of a real username, in Outlook it displays 'NT User:S-1-5-21-32906815...' as the folder contact. No matter what I try, I cannot get access to the folders. It appears as though the invisible users have access only. I want to remove these invisible users and replace them by either an administrative user or one of our 'power users', like they were in the past. I've tried replacing the permissions in the Exchange Server Manager, and have 'everyone' having 'all rights', as well in Public Folders as in the Public Folder Tree, but that does not seem to change anything. I've searched Google and this newsgroup and although this question has been asked, I could not find a suitable answer. Can you help? Thanks, Rudi Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127096

    - RAS No Domain Server could be found I have a new SBS 2000 server. The remote dial up clients could access the previous SBS 4.5 server. The remote system connects and is issued IP address and settings via DHCP correctly (DNS WINS mask). However, the whenever the user name, password and domain are issued the error "no domain server can be found" occurs. I can continue past this and ping the server. I can ping the Internet router (separate) and browse the Internet. The IP, WINS and DNS server addresses are correct. I can access the Exchange Server and send mail (Occasional retry required). If I use an invalid user name then I am advised of that. I have configured the hosts and lmhosts files on the clients with the SBS server IP and domain name details. This problem happens with Windows 98 SE clients and Windows XP Pro (SP1) clients. I have granted RRAS group policy access. I have configured other Windows 2000 SBS RAS servers before. (We have one in our office that I access regularly - I have tested remote client access to our office server without error). We have loaded Windows 2000 SP4. (had error before (SP3) and after) TCPIP only protocol at server or clients. Have released network card protocols on remote client pc network card. Running out of options - any suggestions? Appears to be a DNS or WINS issue. Client now needs to travel and requires remote access with 24 hours. Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127092

    - Client PCs lose their connection to the server Hi, I've been having problems with my SBS2000 setup since downloading Microsoft's upgrades relating to MsBlast. Every so often, my client PCs lose their connection to the server. In Explorer I get a red X across the drive so, for example, when I click on my K drive I get the message "K:\ drive is not accessible. The networkpath was not found". Clicking on the drive letters several times does not get back the connection so I don't think it's the time-out issue I've read about. It's not always every PC on the network that loses the connection but, more often than not, it is. The only way that I seem to be able to get around it is by rebooting all the machines, starting with the server. I haven't noticed that I am doing, or using, anything unusual in the sense that the only thing that has changed over the last few weeks is as a result of the Microsoft upgrade (coincidence?). I'm running SBS2000 with a maximum of four client PCs. The server has one NIC and has the ADSL modem attached. Three of the PCs run Windows 2000 and the fourth runs Windows 98. The latter was not on this morning when the latest two events happened. Any ideas? Andy Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127091

    - Backup Software Choice Hello I am going to be backing up our SBS server to a DAT or DLT. I am trying to decide on backup software at the best cost. Backupexec is a common one but comes with various add-ons for different functions. A bit complicated. The other I have looked at is Tapeware. They have a product called the Small Business Server Pack. It appears easier and cheaper. Questions. Does anybody have any preferences ? If so why. Is backup software bundled with backup devices these days ? Does the "full" backup / disaster recovery (as indicated with HP drives)....really work, and is it the software that does it ? Thanks in advance. Robert Tag: Log on/off log? Tag: 127089

Is there a log file on the SBS where I can find out who
has logged off their machine and back on again?

We are running SBS2000 with around 25 Win2K Pro machines.
I have a list of the machine names as in Active Directory
as well as the machine's IP addresses.

Thanks,

skc
