    - 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: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program Tag: 176460

    - Unable to re-boot remotely Hi, Windows 2000 SBS is unable to re-boot remotely either by Start|Shutdown|Restart or via the Management Console. Apparently there is a Blue Screen of Death on the Server. Unfortunately, I am 200Klms from the Site and am trying to Install all the latest Patches. I have to get someone in to Re-Start the Server. Has anyone any ideas? Regards David Hellewell Tag: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program Tag: 176453

    - 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: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program 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: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program 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: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program 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: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program 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.

    - Failed Drive Running SBS 2000 on a Compaq Proliant. We had the boot drive fail, it was being mirrored. The boot drive is not bootable and returns an error message of imminent failure.

    - Ghost SBS2k system partition ? One of the SBS2k disaster recovery whitepapers mentions ghosting the SBS2k system partition as a means of backup. Is this a supported option? If so, what's a suitable application and version to do that? I need to change the raid array that contains the system volume from raid 0 to raid 1, and will have to recreate the array to do so. I would like to avoid an OS reinstall and restore from backup, if at all possible. Thanks, Joe Welna Tag: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program Tag: 176419

    - 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: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program 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: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program 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.

    - SBS/Exchange 2000 managing multiple domains Using the SBS 2000 pop3 collector with Exchange 2000. Have a default policy which states: (mailnickname=*) SMTP @domain3.co.uk (responsible for all) SMTP @domain3.local (responsible for all) SMTP @domain2.co.uk (responsible for all) SMTP @domain2.local (responsible for all) SMTP @domain1.co.uk (type=checked, primary, (responsible for all)) SMTP @domain1.local (type=checked, (responsible for all)) X400 c=GB;a= ;p=DOMAIN1;o=Exchange; The pop3 collector collects mail for all the .co.uk addresses no problem. Certain users have domain1.co.uk some have domain2.co.uk others domain3.co.uk and a few have multiples. It seems like pg.co.uk and pl.co.uk are simply being lost. The pop3 collector collects but the mail does not appear in the mailbox. i.e. i get mail to my domain1.co.uk but not domain2.co.uk or domain3.co.uk It did all use to work when the SBS server's IP was allowed to relay. However this caused Exchange to resend (well try to resend) incoming mail to other external recipients like the pop3 catch all bug. I'm certainly going to be glad when I can ditch this pop3 collector but its a couple of months away :S I've tried re-adding the domains above, and even checked the type box which I believe is unessecary. Also if sending a mail from internal to a valid address at domain2.co.uk or domain3.co.uk the exchange server delivers it. If sent to an invalid address at those domains the exchange server pushes it out to our host's smtp server which then bounces back an ndr (as there is no such pop3 box). Solutions?

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: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program Tag: 176371

    - SBS 2000 Trashed For some reason, my SBS 2000 server is in bad shape. I cannot do an upgrade to SP4 I cant do an Windows update from the web. I am going to put SBS2003 on a new box, but my question is: what would happen if I installed Windows 2000 Server over the SBS 2000, just so I could do a migration. I have a legit copy of Windows 2000 server so that would not be an issue. What happens to the other elements in SBS like Exchang, IIS and SQL. Any assitance would be appreciated. I inherited this mess from the former IT guy. Thanks.... Bob J Tag: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program Tag: 176367

    - Server Crash Help! I have a client who's SBS 2000 server lost 2 drives in their array. Server was configured with only the "C: drive" and 3 disks in a Raid 5. Question is this: They do not have the media onsite any longer, but they do have SBS 2003. Is it possible to go ahead and install the updated version of the SBS software and still recover and restore the Exchange Information Store to the newer version of the software?

    - POP3 mailbox not accepting updated passwords I have a user whose computer crashed and they've now been updated from W2K Pro to XP Pro. (That in itself was a nightmare but we'll leave that for another day). The user name has also been changed from firstnamesurname to firstname for this particular user. The user is able to logon to the network on the XP machine with firstname/password without problem. When the user tries to poll his mailbox, it is rejected as bad user/password. I've telnetted to the pop3 server and tried to logon using his name and password and receive the same result. I'm stuck as to what to do. The user has mails arriving as we speak and cannot access them. I was under the understanding that changing the password (reset password on user in Acive Directory) also changed the pop3 logon passwords. If it does (or is supposed to) it isn't happening. I'm using SBS2000 with Exchange 2000. All service packs etc. have been applied. I'd appreciate some help asap! Mike Tag: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program Tag: 176348

    - back office to Small Business server I have a question, I recently "inherited" a server with dual P3 450MHz processors and about 2GB of memory. The server is currently running Back Office Server. Here are my questions: 1. Can I upgrade both processors to above 450MHz? 2. Can I use this server to run Windows Server 2003? 3. Are there benefits to going to Small Business server 2003 rather than 2000? Thank you, I realize the hardware question is really not forum correct.

    - TS licensing services - where to install? I am running a sbs2k server with ~15 users connecting. I also have a win2k3 server that I am setting up as a application mode terminal server. I don't know where to install the Terminal Server Licensing component - should it be on the sbs server or on the win2k3 server? Microsoft says in (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sbs/2000/maintain/termsvcs.mspx) that, "Make sure the Terminal Services Licensing Services is enabled on the Small Business Server 2000 and that all necessary license tokens are installed," and that," [on the ts server]Select Terminal Services. Do not select Terminal Services Licensing (this will run on the Small Business Server 2000)." _However_ this was written for a setup with a sbs2k server and an older win2k server (not a win2k3 server).

    - POP3 not recognising new password Power user managed to crash and burn the W2k machine he was using. installed XP Pro sp2 onto the machine as a new install and reloaded all the progs so he could keep his data. I've changed the logon name for this user from firstnamesurname to firstname. I've reset the password and he can logon to the domain with no problem from his machine and remotely via VPN. However.... He cannot access his mailbox. POP3 produces the "unknown user/bad password" routine. Even telnetting to the server and explicitly entering his new logon and password fails to gain access. I have two questions: 1) why isn't pop3 recognising the new password? (I've restarted all exchange services) 2) If I have to create a new box for him, how do I get the messages already in his box transferred to the new box?

    - Single Exchange 2000 Mailbox Recovery We fired an employee yesterday. She wasn't happy. This morning we figured out that between her firing and being walked out the door, management had to rework the termination letter. During that few minutes she went to her desk to clean it out. Unbeknowst to us, she also deleted 200MB of her emails -- some of which were important (I know: we should have locked her out before the termination). I have full information store backups (veritas 9.1) from 7:05 am and from 12:45 pm yesterday (she was terminated at 4:30PM), so I have the data. Unfortunately, all our Exchange backups are FULL store backups, not mailbox level. For reasons too complex to go into, we immediately delete 'deleted' emails, so overnight Exchange maintenance wiped the emails and online-defrag cleaned up pretty good :) Does anyone know an easy way to recover this ex-employee's emails to her email account (or a .pst?) without having to recover the entire info store?

    - Roaming Profiles - or not? Hi, Current setup: SBS2K + W2K clients. Mixed desktops and laptops and users use both laptops and desktops. Currently using roaming profiles for the users, we are having some small problems such as files popping up on the desktop even though they have been deleted (maybe on another machine). I was reading some rather old comments by Jeff on the topic of roaming profiles vs. redirected folders. Are the conclusion still valid, that redirect folders most likely are the way to go (in my situation)? Are there any better alternatives where more "user experience" settings are included in the "mobile profile"? If you recommending me to stick with the roaming profiles (which I otherwise do not have any serious problems with), how do I solve the current problem? By telling users not to stick files on the desktop? Anon Tag: opening ports in sbs 2000 to let external access to program Tag: 176300

    - Exchange reply address I have a client with two offices, both running SBS 2K. Each have been running separate domains for mail. The client would now like to utilize a single domain for email. To that end, I have set up the larger of the two offices with the new preferred domain for mail. At that same office, I have setup users which correspond to users at the smaller office. These users forward to contacts with email addresses that match those of the users at the smaller office, using its original mail domain. All seems to work fairly well, but the client would like the "reply" or "from" on emails sent from clients in the smaller office to match that of the new preferred domain name, rather than the original mail domain for that office. I tried adding the new preferred domain name to recipient policy in the smaller office and making it primary, but not authoritative. That seemed to work for outside email, but the users in the smaller office could not reply to users at the larger office. The emails were rejected because the users could not be found, I assume because the smaller office was looking within itself for those larger office addresses. It has occurred to me to try setting the default email addresses at the individual user level, rather than through recipient policy, but I am not very confident this will do much good. Does anybody have a workaround for my problem or a better way to achieve my goal? Thanks for any help or insight.

    - Pop3 Collector losing mail? Help! I've got several pop3 accounts being collected by the pop3 collector on SBS2000. Been set up for ages and mail works ok, except if the mail is big it seems. Been sent some 6mb mails, checked the pop3 box through a web interface to see if they are there. Waited for the pop3 collector to collect. Checked the logs which I set to maximum. It said it downloaded the mail and gave it a Message ID. However Trend Scanmail (Client Server Messenging Suite SMB) doesn't show it in its scan logs. And Exchange's Message Tracking Centre doesn't show it no matter how I search. Looked in Badmail and nothing new there, looked in the server.log directory and no mention of the message in the log there. Tried another scenario where there was a small mail and a big mail in the pop3 box at the same time. The big mail did as above, the small mail ended up in my mailbox no problems. Ideas anyone?

Are you running ISA 2000 on your SBS Box? What kind of Router do you have?
Both will need to be configured to allow the ports you requested inbound
access to your internal network. As for outbound internet browsing, again
check ISA Server 2000 to insure there are not blocking rules applied.
