SBS remote office > Exchange head office...?
Hi all,
Theoretical set-up - looking for advice on feasibility and/or potential
problems [indeed, if this is workable!]
Remote Office:
6 users
Currently running bog-standard W2K Server
Outlook clients connecting directly to individual POP3 mailboxes at ISP - NO
internal mail whatsoever
Broadband connection via Broadband Router on LAN - 512k ADSL
Head Office:
W2K Server
Exchange2K Server
Cisco 1700 Router
Cisco PIX 515E Firewall
Mailsweeper
Websweeper
McAffee EPolicy Orchestrator
McAffee Virusscan
Broadband is 2Mb SDSL
Customer is looking to have the Remote Office link with the Head Office in
the following way:
1] ALL email either incoming or outgoing to go via Head Office - they [at
present] are looking for all internal mail within the Remote Office to also
pass via Head Office, but I'm dubious as to whether this is the most
efficient method of achieving things for them
2] 'Constant' VPN access during working hours to allow file/document sharing
between sites
We've [thus far] told the customer that they've got the following basic
options:
1] Set-up the constant VPN connection between the offices either
server-server or router-router and configure all the Outlook clients at the
Remote Office as offline clients of the Head Office Exchange Server -
downside is that all the internal mails are sent to the Head Office then
back to the Remote Office which is pretty bandwidth inefficient.
2] Go SBS at the Remote Office - this will provide firewalling at the Remote
Office [at present its just the NAT on the Router!], internal mail at the
Remote Office stays within the Remote Office while external email can be
forwarded to a Smart Host of the client's Head Office Exchange Server and
incoming mail can be downloaded from the Head Office Exchange Server via
POP3 [or SMTP?]
Reasoning for SBS:
1] If the VPN link to Head Office goes down, the client in the Remote Office
still has internal mail and we could [if the outage were a long one]
configure them to send outgoing emails directly out via DNS. They'd get ISA
to protect their network [and adding a 2nd NIC] in order to provide FAR more
security than relying on the existing router's NAT. Basically to provide a
degree of fault-tolerance in addition to ease of remote administration and
increased security.
Reasoning for non-SBS [more from customer's perspective than ours]:
1] Cheaper - perhaps slightly tighter integration with their Head Office
existing set-up
Notes:
1] Client does NOT wish to go W2K3 at this stage - therefore it would need
to be SBS2K if we went down that route
Anyone got any pointers/advice/potential pitfalls?

Problem...
I have just noticed that any user can open any user's
Inbox, Calendar etc... from their Outlook client.
How do I lock it down just to that user - so that they can
access their Mailbox only and nobody else's?
This is urgent!

Putting SBS 2003 Terminal Server in application mode?!
Hi,
Allthough Microsoft says application mode has been removed from SBS
2003 Terminal Services I read something on
http://www.bagsolutions.orcon.net.nz

RRAS and Internet
We have just deployed our replacement SBS2000 box.
I have a problem when I go to Start>Programs>Admin
Tools>Routing and Remote Access and Enable RRAS for VPN
users to clients through our server. When I enable the
service, I get pop-up warnings saying that DHCP will
assign IP addresses to any clients. Furthermore, as soon
as the RRAS service is enabled, a few clients are
experiencing problems browsing the web - as if the RRAS
blocks access to the web.
On clients that have this problem, the ISA firewall client
can update to the SBS, but cannot browse the web although
their browser is set to look at the Proxy server (ISA on
SBS).
Please can someone help me on this.
The SBS has two NICs - LAN and WAN. The LAN IP is
192.168.16.2 and the WAN IP address is 172.16.1.2 (as it
goes through a Firewall that NATs the IP). The WAN card
is hardcoded with the IP, even though the firewall runs
DHCP.
The SBS is fully patched via Windows Update and Service
Packed for SBS SP 1a.

SBS SSL Issues
Hello all,
I am trying to connect to a secure web site, that is using

But
I have no idea how to do it, I have tried the SDK for SBS

Help! Help! Cannot add CALs: Message: Your Server is not running Microsoft Small Business Server
Hi,
Help needed urgently!
Our new SBS-2000 server is nearly installed and is going in "use" tomorrow.
Today, I wanted to add additional client access licenses.
I have a SBS-2000 client add pack for 20 clients. When I run setup.exe from
the diskette, I get the following error message:
"Your computer is not running Microsoft Small Business Server. You can only
add licenses to a computer running Microsoft Small Business Server"
But I definitevely have SBS-2000. I also detected another strange thing: For
some reasons I do not have the "Business Server Administration Console", it
simply does not exist on my server!!!. Reading some newsgroups articles, I
found out, that the console should be in the folder "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft BackOffice\Managment...." But also: I do not have a folder
named " C:\Program FilesMicrosoft BackOffice"!!
Reading the Knowledge Base article KB234929, I tried to apply the registry
patch to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Small Business\Version. The key was empty,
so i changed it to Value = 5.0 (5.0 for SBS-2000). After that, I got
another error message when I tried to run setup.exe with the following text
"You can not add more licenses becaus this would place your computer over
the allowed maximum numbers of licences.
The I ran setup.exe -v from the diskette which displayed the following
infos:
Use count: 0x0000000
Concurrent Limit: 0x00014
Previous Limit: 0x0005
Current Limit: 0x000a
So, that's all I know for now.
What's going wrong with my installation of SBS-2000? Are there any tips that
could me? Any help is greatly appreciated ...
Thanks a lot in advance ...

Publishing Outlook Web Access with ISA Server and Exchange on the same machine
Does anyone know of a way of manually configuring ISA to
publish outlook web access when the ISA server and
exchange server are the same machine ???
the ICW (internet connection wizard) for SBS crashes. so
we set up a destination set to include
www.lfe.org.au/exchange*, www.lfe.org.au/exchweb* and
www.lfe.org.au/public*
then set up a web publishing rule using this destination
set to point to the internal IP address of our ISA server
on port 81. our website (www.lfe.org.au) works doing this
but OWA doesn't ?? any ideas please ?

ISA blocking access to web site
SBS2000 has been setup and things had been working great for almost 2 years
but we finally hit a snag. We are not able to get to the web site
wwwdotmydomain.com (not the real domain). When we setup the server we were
told that this office would host their own web site and email so we setup
the domain as mydomain.com with a Dell PowerEdge2500 with many bells and
whistles.
Well the owner 2 years later transfered his web site and email to be hosted
by his ISP. For email all I really had to do was configure Exchange with
POP3. When I try to hit the web site now from the LAN it asks me for a
Domain Username and Password. The LAN's domain is mydomain.com which may be
a problem with the ISP hosting mydomain.com
I can get to the web site using the IP Address, and I have modified the host
table on the server and get a reply back with the correct address when
trying to ping wwwdotmydomain.com but I can not get to wwwdotmydomain.com
without it asking me for a domain username and password. Any help would be
great, thank you. Tag: regarding SBS 2003 - OWA problems Tag: 145813

SBS2k with 1 NIC and no ISA server
Am migrating an SBS install from one box to another. This new box is on a
network that has a 2Mg broadband feed supplied by an ISP that is firewalled
by them.
The broadband feed is presented to us as an ethernet cable with an IP that
is on the internal range of our network. I have asked they map a fixed
external IP to our new SBS2K box internal IP for email delivery, TS etc.
The question: with this set up I cannot see how I would use ISA server
(needs 2 NICS right?) and so am not going to install it. Instead I am going
to have DHCP give out the broadband ethernet IP as the default gateway. I
am pretty happy with the ISP's firewall technology (Nortel Shasta), but does
this set up pose problems I have not foreseen? Will DNS set-up from default
be fine or will it need work?
Anyone with any info, pointers about SBS2K with 1 nic would be most welcome.
thanks

SBS2K => SBS3K - upgrade
OK, read a bit here about migrations n' stuff - but for many of us, with
smaller networks, it's not economic to migrate to a new server.
I have a client, for eg. with a one year old server (nice PC, will last
another couple of years I hope) - they don't wanna fork out another $20K
for another server (it's just not necessary). The current one is doing
the job nicely.
So it'll be an upgrade, or fresh install of SBS3K.
And yet!!! - I've read very little on this NG on *upgrading* experiences
that folk have had - surely many of you have done this. I'd like to
know of your experience, and what can go wrong.
Are folk waiting for SBS3K SP1 or something? :)

VPN SBS2K to SBS2K3
We have a LAN in Denver with SBS2K, and a LAN in Phoenix with SBS2K3. Both
have DSL with Static IP. Phoenix is setup totally stock, and Denver is
behind a Cisco Pix501 firewall. We can VPN for Phx to Den easily, but are
unable to VPN from Den to Phx. I've been able to VPN to Phx from every
machine I've tried that isn't on the Denver LAN, so I suspect is has
something to do with the the Cisco Firewall. Unfortunately I don't have much
confidence in the company that set up our firewall. The guy who did the work
is gone and the new guy seems lost. He suggested a tunnel which would
require purchasing another Cisco 501 for Phx. Is a tunnel possible without
the new piece of equipment? Is it possible to VPN from our Den LAN to our
Phx LAN without a tunnel? I'll paste the log file to the end of the message.
Thanks, Steve

SBS2K Backup/Reconfigure Drives/Restor
We have an SBS2K installation where the C: drive is only
4gb and we are running out of space frequently. The
system has 3 18gb SCSI drives configured as follows using
Disk Manager. C: is 4gb mirrored on Disk0 & Disk1. D: is
14gb Raid-5 on Disk0, Disk1, and Disk2. Our original
thought was that this would be a safe and well performing
configuration. Eventually our Data storage requirement
outgrew the 14gb D drive, so I installed 3 large IDE
drives arranged in a Raid-5 where all the user and
company files now reside.
My hope is to complete a full backup of C: and D:, then
reconfigure the drives using Recover Disks, and restore.
Everything backedup on C: will resore to C: and the same
on D:, Its just that they will different sizes and
probably different raid configurations. My questions are:
Will the restored windows system recognize the change and
load properly? Will the shares be OK? Will SQL and
Exchange server be OK? Do you have any suggestions for
configuration?

Problem is that users cannot FTP to internet sites from
thier workstations as either themselves or administrator.
But you can FTP to the sites directly from the server.
I will openly admit my knowledge is very limited. I have
checked on the ISA server and the ports 20 and 21 in and
out custom filters are there and are allow mode.
Does anyone have any ideas.

FTP connections
Hi,
This is going to be a long one :)
I am running Win2k Server + SBS2k on quite fast machine.
It has 2 NIC's instaled - Intel's server version, I don't
think model number would change anything. This machine is
a domain controller + all the stuff given, except IIS.
Let's call this one SBS.
The other machine is running Linux on PentiumPro 166 (or
200MHz - nevermind) and it is configured to work only as
router for our company - which is I think good idea after
all. It has much older NIC's - 3COM 10Mbps for LAN and
CNet 10/100Mbps for WAN. I know that this NIC config does
not make sense, but it works great. I will call this
machine Lin.
Workstatnions are all Pentium4 3.06GHz & so on.
THE PROBLEM
While connecting to Lin via SBS using any ftp client, you
get the download "speed" 28kB/sec or 45.7kB/sec. This
depends on firewall config on SBS - I get faster transfers
while the firewall is working, and slow down when it's
down. Weird, huh? Nevermind that. Those speed values have
just nothing to do with what the transfer should be - at
least 20 times more! It was like that on the beginning of
the server's life - about 9 months ago. The ftp transfers
from Lin to my workstation were >800kB/sec.
I could blame firewall/proxy/anything for lowering
transfer, but not that much.
The other interesting thing is that when I connect to SBS
using Terminal Client (I don't know the exact english
name, but I hope you know what I mean), and FTP to Lin i
get sometimes the highest transfer - as it should be - but
mostly just as I wrote above - 45.7kb/sec. Looks like SBS
is blocking the traffic.
Has anyone of you got simillar situation? Any ideas of
solving the problem? Or at least a good diagnosis?
Oh, there's no rules for firewall on SBS (no need), and
using direct connection to Lin gives 100% network traffic
efficiency. Tag: regarding SBS 2003 - OWA problems Tag: 145712
Getting TSWEb to work. Need help badly.
I need to get Terminal services over the Web to work. Initially I
installed Terminal services (configured for Remote Admin) on a server.
Then installed the TSWeb files to the server thus creating the TsWeb
virtual directory. Do I need to enable any specific security that is
not configured by the TsWeb exe?
I was able to get to a machine on the LAN from a sep machine on the
LAN via web browser by entering the serverName/Tsweb into the Ie web
address. When asked for the server name (within the TSWeb logon box) I
entered the name of the system I want to control. This proved that it
could work.
I then opened ports 3389 and 80 and routed them to the server. Tried
to connect ti my client's workstation via the internet and the WAN ip
address followed by a "/tsweb." This retunred an error message of
"The specified remote computer could not be found. Verify that you
have
typed the correct computer name or IP address, and then try
connecting
again."
I figured maybe it was due to the fact I had TSWeb running on the same
machine as SBS 2k. Split it onto a new system and lo and behold same
issue. I tried to open ports 1234 (had IIS listen on the port) and
3389 and routed them to the new server, same result. I tried the user
internal ip, the users full name Machine.domain.com. No good.
I now need major help and need it fast because my client is beginning
to get upset. Tag: regarding SBS 2003 - OWA problems Tag: 145708

VPN setup to other VPN host.
I currently have some scheduled tasks which run in the middle of the night
to exchange information using FTP, SMTP, POP3 and HTTP with various sites.
I update retrieved information into my SQL database and then pass this
information on to a hospital using an ODBC connection into their SQL server
database. I also have the need to access their SQL server via SQL
enterprise manager.
The current setup allowed port 1433 access into their network and only from
my fixed IP address range. As of 01/01/2004 they require me to do this via
a secure VPN. As a newbie to VPN, the more I read in this newsgroup about
problems others are having the more I am confused about the best approach.
The server I have has two NIC cards, one for the internal address and the
other for the WAN side.
How is the best way to setup this VPN tunnel without affecting my normal
FTP/HTTP internet access?
Is it best to use the built in VPN software solution or should I get a cheap
LinkSys type router with VPN built in?
Is performance an issue, meaning is it a load on the server to do the
encryption and VPN security, enough to warrant a hardware solution?
TIA

VPN set up problem
We have benn trying to set up a VPN connection. We can VPN from a client PC within the domain and it connects OK. We can VPN out to a remote site and it also works. Remote VPN into the SBS 2003 machine never gets past the "Verifying username and password" dialog box.
We have stepped through KB 320 697 and 308 208 without any luck.
When we first try to install it, it says that RRAS can't find the default remote access policy. This error is followed by one saying that 80020007 can't find the specified file.
Can anyone shed some light on this ?
TIA,

DNS Forwarders
Hi,
Stupid Question Time again.
Given that the DNS will ask the root servers for any address that can't
resolve why bother to add dns-forwarders to the DNS server?

How does one retrive WAN IP address for remote access
I have a Netopia router that apparently has some fairly advanced
settings to allow me access into my office to use services such as XP
Pro remote desktop
I see where to configure the port forwarding in the router (TCP/UDP
3389) and I have the desktop access turned on at the client.
But when I query the router info for the WAN side IP it shows me a
private 10.0.0.x address. LAN side is in the 192.x.x.x range which I
expected.
How can i connect to this router (and thus the workstations) ? How can
I find out the public address to this router? Contact the ISP (which
could be a long wait) Or is ther another way? Ipconfig /all is no help
either only reporting the LAN side IP.
Also, once this is figured out,assuming their are 10 workstations all
using XP Pro and configured for remote desktop, how does a remote user
select *their* desktop machine? Does the rdp client have a means of
viewing all available desktops? Not sure how you would then connect
from a public address to an internal private address.
thanks so much! Tag: regarding SBS 2003 - OWA problems Tag: 145679
DNS
Hosting a website on SBS2000. I'm also running DNS server. However,
external clients can't resolve address. I can nslookup www.mydomain.com
dns.mydomain.com and get the address. Users internal to the next work can
resolve addresses in the DNS, such as dns, mail, www. I have server
publishing rules for DNS Query and DNS Zone Transfer Server in ISA as well
as packet filters as well as the DNS Filter. There is a router in front of
the server, however the ISA server logs reveal that packets are getting
through. I'm at a complete loss now. I've tried a variety of
configurations and followed instructions at
http://www.microsoft.com/serviceproviders/whitepapers/isp_dns_config.asp.
Where am I going wrong?
