    - Best Log Analyzation Software I know this is subjective (aren't most "best of" questions), but to those that have experience, what is the best for the money Log Analyzation software out there? Our main focus is to see what sites our users are going to, so one that would be very specific in that area would be what we are looking for... jared Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144494

    - SBS2003 & Wireless Broadband via VPN I'm having trouble running the SBS 2003 Internet Connection Wizard. None of the three broadband choices seem to suit my situation. I have a wireless network card installed in my server which connects to an antenna on the roof. The broadband connection is by way of the wireless connection to my ISP which is always active. But I can only access the internet through the ISP's VPN. The VPN connection requires a username and password. Can anybody offer some advice here? Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144490

    - Quick help,security question! How secure are Linksys routers in their default settings? I have a SBS2K that doesn't have ISA installed (yet) but the server is behind a Linksys router. I want to go home tonight and connect remotely (it's Saturday and to make things worse I need to be here tomorrow), anyway, assuming the cable modem is going through a LinkSys router am I safe enough behind this router or should I be concerned? I've done many SBS installs but never left the server running behind a Linksys router, I've always had ISA installed. Would rather not connect tonight remotely than have someone hack their way in the network. All I did so far to the router was setup the WAN static IP addresses and on the server put in the router as the default gateway. Any and all help is appreciated.

    - Old SBS (4.0, 4.5) on new hardware I am tryign to get Small Business Sever 4.0 to install over a new PowerEdge 2600 by installing Window NT Server 4.0 first, with all drivers in place. My first attempt, with a 4.0 GB initial partiion (NTFS) and all drivers in place (RAID, SCSI, NIC) failed on teh first reboot when SBS Install/Upgrade ran. I got a BSOD for invalid boot device. The first partiion was les than 4 GB and boots with no problem to install NT 4.0. Any suggestions on how I can get around teh specific hareware limitations of SBS 4/0/4.5 to get in installed on this machine? Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144455

    - Member server not seen by vpn connection Hi! I'm assuming I don't have my member server configured correctly. I can vpn in and connect to shared drives on the sbs box, but all files was moved to the member server approx. 1 year ago. the member server is a file and print server. Playing around yesterday, I shared a sbs folder just to test with and the vpn connection was happy. I unshared it as it isn't necessary--only used for testing. I think this proved, thanks to Les Conner, that the sbs box and vpn is configured correctly. My problem is none of the shared folders on the member server is seen by the vpn connection. All internal computers work fine. the folders on the member server are "mapped" as drive letters for each workstation. Any advice could be greatly appreciated. At first I thought maybe the servers were confused because we were wrongfully using the same password on each server. I changed that yesterday. The sbs box shows up under domain controllers in AD. The member server is seen under computers in AD. At this point, you probably have to ask questions because I don't know what other information may be necessary. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated. MArcia Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144448

    - Backup Issue Interesting Situation...Running SBS 2000. I recently did a check on the backup logs; BACKUP - TOOLS - REPORT; and found that the only log I have is from 10-24-03. Unless I overlooked something, I thought that this was the place to check the status of a backup job. So I looked under the scheduled jobs and looked at the properties; everything seemed fine. The only change that I can think that was most recently done was the Administrators password was changed on 10-29; that should not have caused the backup log to go away...? I also moved back the backup time by 1/2 hour on 11-28 and updated the login password. Questions 1; Is this server being backup and the logs are not visable? Q2; If it is not being backed up should I delete the scheduled jobs and start a new one? Q3; other options? Thanks in advance! Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144432

    - Restricting access to public folders One of my sites has several public folders for contacts, etc., and right now everyone has access to read/write/add/delete to these folders. They now are asking me to restrict the ability to update these folders (and create new folders) to only a few users, with the rest having read access only. I went to Properties on of the public folders and went to Client Permissions, expecting to find a way to assigna security group as 'Publishing Editor', for example. But it appears I am limited to doing this on a suer by user basis. Is there a recommended way for making permission changes to public folders? Also, if I wish to restrict the ability to creating new public folders to certain people, how do I do that. All of this is because on more than one occasion, someone in trying to doublic click on one of the public contact folders, accidentally clicked dragged the folder, ending up with a copy of that folder underneath another folder. Now we're in a process of cleaning everything up, as some people added new contacts to the copied contact folder instead of the good contact folder. Thanks! kw Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144431

    - Installation When I try to install the complete copy of Windows 2003 Small Business Server, I keep getting stuck at "you must install, enable and configure an adapter with TCP/IP." I currently am connected through a dialup modem. What do I need to do to install an adapter with TCP/IP? I have access to three connections. My local provider just supplies the email address and internet connection. The two other connections, are MSN or AOL. I am currently using my local ISP whom I believe is behind a firewall. Could someone please list steps I need to take to correct this error message, so I may complete my installation of Windows 2003 Small Business Server? RAF Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144423

    - SBS03: Client Install Issue Compared to SBS 2k, this is harder to install.. I have never had so many issues.`SPS Failed`I installed SQL and then SP3, then went to upgrade SPS and SQL just sat`there. The client wizard did not run on mine. After entering my username and password I get "The list of users and computers could not be found on the server. Make sure that the SBS network adapters are configured correctly." My pc has an IP from the server. Why is there two SBS groups? Why not leave them as one? -- Thank you, Eric Vogel Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144418

    - POP3 Connector - Global Mailbox I have set up under the pop3 connector in exchange in SBS 2003 to grab email from my ISP's pop3 server. I have specified that the pop3 mailbox is a global mailbox in the pop3 connector settings. I have then set up a routing rule that if the recipient name is test then it will route to the "test" users exchange mailbox. The event logs show that the email is being received and and being routed to the correct exchange mailbox but when I open that mailbox the message is not there. Any ideas on what the problem is here?

    - External RAID5 for data Hi All, Not strictly an SBS question and also, to those in the know & that have actually done it, *probably* a dumb one:- Say we have an external RAID5 array with a number of NTFS partitions for our data installed under SBS2k. We buy a new server and get SBS2k3 running on it. We want to decommission the SBS2k box and run the SBS2k3 box in its place; what's the scenario for simply connecting the RAID5 array to the new box and all data being available via it? The data and directory structure etc will presumably come across intact, but what of security privs etc? Presumably, it's simply a case of re-applying shares and security privs? Or - heaven forbid - is it case of reinitialising the RAID5 and restoring the data (surely not!)? On a related note, say it's not an external RAID5: what if it's a RAID5 internal to the original SBS box? Assuming hardware compatibility, can the drives & data be 'moved' in the same fashion or is the container etc info consequently lost (and thus the data) with the controller, thus requiring a container rebuild and data restore? Thanks! NP Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144383

    - SBS 2000 with multiple email domains (SMTP) Hi We have a SBS2000 up and running for a while now with three email domains All users have the domain that is equal to the server domain as default email domain (ex. mail domain: ourcompany.com and server is named: sever.ourcompany.com). Additional to that users receive mail on company2.com and company3.com. These are simply setup in the Active Directory and added to the useraccount How can I allow users to send email as user@company2.com or user@company3.com? I cannot find how to do that Thanks Sam Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144381

    - Web Cache I have a PC i use at home which has BB Internet access. I use Norton Firewall at home. The server we use in the workplace also has BB internet access from the BB Router, we also use ISA as the firewall here. Considering both connections are 1/2 MB access why is it that the Internet seems to be a lot slower in the workplace even when i am the only one using it. Is it to do with Web Caching or the Fact that we use ISA? Can we do anything to speed up the Internet Access? Appreciate any input into this problems Thanks Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144380

    - Symantec Ghost Dilema Hello, I have a situation that I am trying to come up with an answer. We just installed a SBS Y2K server for an educational client that would like to refersh the XP PC's after every semester with an orginal version of that XP PC. There are a total of 16 PC's in this class and the students will be doing class work on these PC's. When the semester is over we would like to restore the PC's with an original image of the PC. The problem that comes up is since the pc's have Windows XP, each pc has it's own individual product key and in my mind this make cloning a problem with symantec ghost. The PC's are all identical and I do not want to make 16 different images to load back especially when at some time I have to apply product updates or add other software. I was thinking about using sysprep with ghost somehow but I do not see how I would use 16 different inf files. Has anyone come across this problem? Thank You, Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144378

    - Repost: Router on Internal LAN range - need to use AS WELL as ISA... Hi all, Hopefully not too strange a query here. We have a nice working SBS2000 set-up here, Internet connection via 2nd NIC and Broadband Router. We also have a PBX which also acts as a Router and also provides some nice CTI functionality. Query is this: We [or more specifically certain users on the LAN] need to be able to route out via the PBX's integral router to certain customer sites. To access the full CTI functionality of the PBX we need the PBX sitting on our INTERNAL LAN range. By default obviously, any packets not destined for the internal LAN get routed outwards by the Server - hence no routing to clients via the PBX... What I've done thus far is this: 1] Moved the PBX to our internal LAN [was previously sitting between the external NIC and the Broadband Router - worked fine in that set-up but less CTI functionality] and assigned it a fixed IP address on our LAN which is reserved in the DHCP set-up on the SBS box. In the Router config on the PBX I've entered a default route pointing at the Server's internal NIC address so that any packets not for any of the PBX defined routes/addresses get passed to the SBS box. 2] This has enabled the full CTI side - so far, so good 3] Re-ran the ICW and Internet access is working fine from both Server and LAN clients 4] I've also amended the DHCP scope to have the PBX/Router as another Router and moved this to be first in the list of router addresses provided via DHCP 5] From a standalone laptop without the ISA client, I can route to clients via the PBX no problem - so it *appears* that the DHCP/routing side is working fine 6] From LAN clients we *can* now ping remote clients using the PBX router, whilst still having full Internet access via ISA and our broadband connection 7] However, from my PC with the ISA client I cannot route via the PBX using the PBX management software 8] If I connect a standalone laptop to our LAN side as a DHCP client, I *can* use the PBX management software and route via the PBX router - only change is that it does not have the ISA firewall client installed I *think* that the ISA client *appears* to be the likely thing I need to configure somehow but I'm unsure how to do so - can anyone provide any pointers? What I want [ideally] is to have all packets from any LAN clients going to the PBX/Router initially and if they're destined for one of the remote clients on that side, get routed by the PBX. If not, the packets should be forwarded to the SBS box and dealt with as normal. Or is what we're trying to achieve impossible? Thanks in advance, David Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144368

    - Email address issue I have setup a new SBS 2000 to replace our old SBS 2000. At the moment the box sits on an isolated network with the same credentials as the old SBS - same servername, same Domain name, etc... So far I have only installed SBS2000 and I am currently service packing the machine and installing Outlook 2002 for client deployement. I have not yet configured the POP3 connector for Exchange with our ISPs details. What I have noticed is that when I add a new user, his/her email address becomes <username>@<domain>.local instead of <username>@<wwwdomainname>.co.uk. Have I done something wrong here? Furthermore, when I right-click the user>Properties>Email Addresses, the users only have: SMTP: <username>@<domain>.local X400: c=us;a= ;p=<DOMAIN>;o=Exchange.......... On the old SBS, the user has two SMTP addresses, the second one being the public email address so POP3 mail can go to that person: e.g. <username>@<wwwdomainname>.co.uk Please can you tell me where I configure this.

    - HP8150 printer loosing connection to SBS2K after paper jam Hi, We've the same problem on several installations; LJ8150DN (with a JetDirect card) configured with a fixed IP address and connected to SBS2K server with all the latest patches and drivers. Usually after a paper jam or format mismatch, the printer stops printing and is indicated as 'not ready' on server printer page and the only way to get it printing again is by restarting the spooler on the server - otherwise the printer works fine and we don't have the same problem with other printers on network. HP suggests using their "Install Network Printer Wizard (INPW)" on server (if printing from server is required) and workstations and creating HP Standard TCP/IP port as opposed to a Windows TCP/IP port and printing directly to this port from workstations. If I remember correctly there were a lot of issues using HP software on SBS4.5 so I'm a bit reluctant to using HP software. Has anybody else used INPW successfully on SBS2K server and workstations without any conflicts? Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    - =?Utf-8?Q?Macromedia_Contribute_behind_SBS?= Hi We downloaded a trialversion of Contribute after a Macromedia seminar to evaluate whether contribute could be an addition to our other macromedia tools. We have problems passing our firewall Our office network is using an Cisco 827 ADSL router, with firewall and intrusion detection. Traffic then goes to the outer NIC of our Microsoft Small Business Server that runs MS ISA Server 2000. The internal NIC on that server is connected to a Dell Gigabit switch that serves the LAN.

    - Why are some performance counters disabled in SBS? Hi I'm trying to use some software called Monitor Magic to keep an eye on my customers servers. It works but I get bombed with warnings in the application event log. The error is Perflib #2001 and the message is: The "MSSCNTRS" service does not have a Performance subkey or the key could not be opened. No performance counters will be collected for this service. The Win32 error code is returned in the data. There's another with the same details but for MSExchangeIS Looking into this using Knowledge Base I suspect that it is because SBS has registry keys in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current_Control_Set\Services\MSSCNTRS\Disable_Performance_Counters = 1 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current_Control_Set\Services\MSExxchangeIS\Disable_Performance_Counters = 1 Can anyone tell me why? Is it safe to switch these off by changing the setting to 0? Any help would be appreciated Thanks Shane Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144344

So we use DNS SMTP for main & want to only route AOL to our ISP mail server from the other SMTP relay I have setup in exchange. Is their a way to force AOL email to the 2nd SMTP we have setup to relay to our ISP mail server?. 1st Post We have SBS2k with SMTP setup to deliver directly to the recipients email address this works fine. The problem we have is AOL will not take mail from directly our server so I setup another SMTP for delivery of AOL email to relay to our ISP mail server. This worked for one day & with no other changes to the setup AOL mail is now trying to go out by our SMTP not the new relay?

    - smtp protocol error Hi, Anyone know why my sbs server will not send e-mails to a particular domain. It seems to send to all domains except this particular one although our pop3 and smtp hosts say there is no problem with other customers sending to this domain.There are no filters which would block this domain and although I suspect it to be an authentication problem I cannot find where the problem is. The e-mails end up queued in the smtp queue on our server with a blue arrow beside it and on looking at the properties it says "SMTP prorocol error" Any ideas Brian Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144334

    - Permission problems with AD, Exchange ,and SBS2003? I'm having quite a set of problems with my SBS Server installation. In installing Exchange on my SBS2003 machine, I get an error at the end of the installation that the system is unable to create Distribution Groups, and that I should try to create a group by hand to ensure that permissions are correct, and re-run setup. I'm able to create a distribution list by hand, but setup always fails in this way when I reinstall. My event logs are full of this set of events: MSExchangeIS - Event 1121 Error 0x8004010f connecting to the Microsoft Active Directory. MSExchangeIS - Event ID 5000 Unable to initialize the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. - Error 0x8004010f. MSExchangeSA - EventID 9153 Microsoft Exchange System Attendant reported an error '0x80072030' when setting DS notification. MSExchangeFBPublish - hhhhEvent ID 8213 System Attendant Service failed to create session for virtual machine TATOOINE. The error number is 0x80072030. I'm installing as the Administrator user, who is a member of the Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, and Schema Admins group, so I've checked that already. I am inclined to think there is some kind of AD related permissions error, but I've been unable to isolate it. Can someone help point me in the right direction? What tests can I perform? Permissions to check? Etc...? Ask away -- I'll answer as many questions as asked if I didn't provide enough info. Dave Sobel Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144315

    - Exchange Email forwarding I need to create a user in SBS2000 for the purpose of allowing an individual to receive e-mail through our company's domain (ie: user@example.com). I went through the create a new user wizard in SBS2000, but now I need to have all the e-mail that comes to that particular user forwarded to a different e-mail address (ie: user@yahoo.com). How do I accomplish this? Will this cause any problems in SBS2000? Is there anything else I need to be aware of when doing this? TIA for all your help!

    - Windows Installer Error in W2K3 I'm trying to add a TS Application Server to my SBS2000 network, using Windows 2003 Server SE. The setup of TS has gone fine - I've set up publishing and can access it from clients on the LAN and from the the internet. Great so far... Now I'm trying to install some software on the server. I'm using the white paper and have started off by trying to install the Office 2000 Resource Kit, before installing Office 2000. I go into Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and select the setup.exe file in the OF2000RK folder and get this error message: The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode or Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assisitance. Obviously I've made sure that I'm not running in safe mode but I'm not sure what else to try. Thanks. Jon Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144305

    - SBS 2000 and multiple service Problems Today a customer has had trouble getting there e-mail/isa working. In the services all the exchange services (except pop3 connector), ISA Server Control Manager, DHCP and DNS server all will not start. If I start them manually i get a report of the service did not start due to an invalid file. I have tried restoring the ad (system state), but this isnt working. I tired removing and adding both dns and dhcp, but they still wont run. the rpc says it is running, but some event logs seem to point to this bieng an error. I tried running the internet connection wizard for sbs,. but the ISA manager returns a fault too,.. I have set the nics in the correct binding/provider order, but still nothing. Has anyone got any ideas? Tag: SBS security question Tag: 144291

Recently switched from DSL to a cable modem and noticed
the DSL setup on the Linksys router didn't have a static
IP address, it was using a host name. After switching to
cable I now have a static IP address. I setup the IP
address on the WAN side putting in the static IP, DG, SM
and DNS settings, my concern is this, is the server more,
less, or the same concerning security after switching from
DSL to cable? I ran a port scan on the router and verified
all ports are blocked and there's no response to ICMP. I
guess now that I have a static IP address I'm more
concerned if someone tried hacking their way through the
router. Unable to install ISA this weekend do to reasons
out of my control and can't afford to have the server down
all week without hurting business production.

Actually about the same risk. We typically don't get "targeted" around
here... we get stupid. ;-)
