    - Pop3 email checking Hi I just installed Trend client server messaging on a SBS2000 server. Finally got everything working fine. Thing is previously I set up the workstations to check for Email at their pop3 emailboxes directly rather than going through the server. But now since Trend has this spam thing built in I want to use the pop3 connector on exchange (exchange servicepack 3 ) to check the pop3 mailboxes and then route them to the user. However when looking at the settings is there no way to configure the connector to check for mail at an interval less than 15 minutes???? I would rather not have to chose between getting mail right away and getting clean email. Also I put in the info in the pop3 connector however it wasn't able to dowbnload the mail getting an error. This I can probably fix myself will post follow up later but any other help will be appreciated. Thanks Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168827

    - Smart Host I have a â??Smart Hostâ?? relay host (by name) defined under â??Outbound Connectionsâ?? of the SMTP server properties on my SBS 2000. Out bound messages are not being sent to the smart host and they are being delivered directly by the SBS SMTP server. What else to I need to configure to get all outbound mail to be sent to the smart host? Any help is greatly appreciated! Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168825

    - Revisiting Spam relaying Hi, This thread was started about a week ago, and I needed more information. I don't think anyone is viewing the original one anymore, so hopefully reposting it is not too far outside of the correct protocol. My last post was: Thanks for the info. I am not sure if this article works for my configuration. The MX record for my domain points to my Exchange server. I do not have pop accounts at the ISP. I also do not use my ISP's smtp server for outgoing messages.

    - Remote Desktop Connection - exclusive login. This question doesn't relate entirely to sbs2000, but it does relate to domain management on a sbs2k domain. I am setting up a WinXP Pro station with RDC at the office for users to login to to do some work. However, I noticed that if someone tries to login while another session is in progress, the first session is dropped without warning. Is there a way to restrict rdc so that if someone is already logged in, no other connections are allowed? Thanks, Joe Letter. Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168808

    - Pop3 Collector trying to send to external addresses Using SBS2000 with POP3 collection. Each userâ??s external email user@ourdomain.com has a POP3 box at our ISP. Each user has a mail store on exchange to which their mail is delivered. All of a sudden incoming emails from external sources are behaving strangly. If from hotmail I send a message to user@ourdomain.com and someone@anotherdomain.com our server picks it up from the pop3 box, delivers it to user@ourdomain, and also tries to then resend it externally to the other recipient. Tracking the message in Exchange shows: "SMTP: Message Delivered Locally to multiple recipients" "SMTP Store Driver: Message Delivered Locally to Store user@ourdomain" "SMTP: Started Outbound Transfer of Message" "SMTP: Non-Delivered Report (NDR) Generated" In the details of the 1st line above it states the address of our user and the external recipient, which it should just be ignoring! Then on the third line its saying it wants to send it outbound â?? so realises its not a local recipient. And then of course fails as the sender was external. It says the sender is getting is getting an NDR but I havnâ??t actually seen one myself from testing â?? it is sending me as admin a copy though. Now nothing has changed on the server as far as I know. And the pop3 boxes look ok. I know strange things happen if it collects a mail from pop3 and there isn't a single recipient in the to/cc that matches a local user but this isn't the scenario here. The only other thing that might be interfering is Trend Scanmail but Iâ??ve not changed the config of that for ages either. Will be doing the good old reboot very shortly to see if that sorts it but I canâ??t see why it would. Any one got any ideas? Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168803

    - exchange not recieving inbound smtp Thanks Marina, sounds like I had the NIC's setup wrong. When you say the DNS on the External nic should point to our server IP, do you mean it should be pointing to 192.168.1.90? If so, how do I do this? I can set it manually but when I rerun ICW it wont allow me to put an address that is in the LAT. Surely the DNS should be pointing to the DNS's provided by my ISP (213.120.62.101, 213.120.62.102)?

When I try to send an email I get a "Exchange server sending error 0x80040154" It is almost as if we have reached some limit somewhere that is preventing exchange from working. Total size on M drive is 2.2gb. Need urgent help on this one Regards Simon Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168789

    - Modem Setup Remote access I have set up remote access for dial-up and it works just fine for users to access emails and Palm Pilot. However, if the server reboots (Planned) the modem does not reset itself for "Waiting for Call", the remote access wizard has to be re-run.. Any Ideas as to having it reset upon reboot ?

    - Exchange Not Recieving Inbound SMTP Yes I have ran the ICW and checked the MX records which seemed to be working as the server was recognised as mail.domain.com. A couple of hours later I recieved a non delivery report from our server to the external email account I was using for testing which appeared to be generated by exchnage server and was stating the delivery status to be 5.0.0. Any suggestions on what could be causing this status? Thanks for you help so far. Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168778

    - SBS 2003 / ISA / Web Access We're installing SBS 2000 together with ISA server. No client machines, yet, we're still battling with getting the server right. The only user is the administrator. Having installed the server (but before installing ISA) we have internet connectivity. We then install ISA (from the premium edition disk) as a result of which, and after running ICW, and logging off and on, we can't see any web pages. The ADSL modem connects successfully to the ISP, but the only thing we get in IE is a 502 error. Now, we're guessing we need to do something to allow web things through ISA but we can't see what. Can anyone point us in the right direction. We didn't have this problem with SBS 2000 (with ISA) which seemed to work without problem, and which is why we can post this message.

    - Exchange Not Recieving Inbound SMTP Hi, Im having a rather annoying problem getting exchange server (sbs2000) to recieve inbound smtp. Here's a brief summary: New Server with a new SBS2000 installation, we're using ISA Server (which is working as a proxy and firewall) and exchange server using the smtp virtual server. Internal email works fine, and sending external email works fine too I can't seem to get inbound email to work. Server has 2 nic's, 1 connected directly to ADSL router and server has a static external ip. The other nic is connected to the switch. I had my ISP change the mx records to point to the external ip of the server, this worked fine as I was able to navigate to OWA using mail.domain.com/exchange. I tried several things but still cannot recieve email from the internet. Port scan shows port 25 as open however I cannot telnet the port either externally or internally. Things I've Tried (not in order): Done port scan via grc.com and port 25 is stated as open Enable Packet filters/Disabled them Secure Mail Server Wizard Tried disabling ISA Firewall service Uninstalled McAfee Groupshield Reinstalled ISA Server Reinstalled Exchange Server Restart ISA Services after changes Restart Exchange Services after changes is there anything I am missing? Have I overlooked something? Does anyone have any suggestions as what I could try? Any help would be much appreciated as I seeming to be making no progress whatsoever.

Remember -everyone's- issue is important to them, so que jumping won't enhance anyone's opinion of you within the newsgroup.

You're not cutting down on the typing as you'll be asked anyway, and it can only enhance the speed to diagnosis and resolution. A secondary benefit to this is that in correctly framing the question, the resolution often presents itself. Note: Stating your SBS version ( 4, 4.5, 2000, 2003 ) is particularly important as is whether your SBS 2003 is Standard or Premium and whether you have ISA installed. Please state all messages and IDs in failure notices and/or in the event viewers. Also what may have been installed/changed/updated prior to or during the issue. =================================================== - Posting In capitals on is considered SHOUTING! ...Please don't. =================================================== - Don't overlook or discount Paid Support. If the Issue is urgent or complex, the time you spend searching for a "free" solution. ...and cost factors such as Worker Downtime, Customer Irritation, Lost Productivity, and Hair Replacement costs will likely far outweigh the cost of a Support Call to Microsoft PSS (Product Support Services ) or a Support Professional.

    - Access to "external" computer Hi All I need to set up an SBS 2000 to allow access to a computer on the external side of the server. The server has the standard 2 NICs, one internal and one external. Clients connected to internal and external used for broadband internet (and now this computer). We need to have a cache that stores specific things that it updates from the internet. It's complicated but suffice to say that I don't have any control over this aspect. The external NIC on SBS has 10.81.10.1 as it address. The external PC has 10.81.10.250 I have already setup: 1. Site & Content Rules an "Allow ALL" access policy (this is what I use when testing only) all destinations, always, allow, applies to any request, all HTTP content 2. Protocol Rules an "Allow ALL" access policy (this is what I use when testing only) All IP traffic, always, applies to any request 3. IP Packet Filters There are lots of filters. I have setup one as: enables, predefined HTTP Server (port 80) Local computer and remore computer I have tried different settings The external network does not appear in the LAT nor the LDT. I can Ping the 10.81.10.250 from an internal client and the server so I know it exists and that the server is forwarding the ping requests. I tried 10.81.10.249 and it didn't work (as I expected). Should I have an entry in the Network Configuration - Routing list. If so what are the settings? Please help as I am really stuck. After 5 frustrating hours I still can't get it to work.

    - Event Log consolidation This may not be the best group to post this question in, but this is an active group that I occassionally lurk in so it will certainly serve as a good start. I work in a 350 workstation, 20+ server Windows environment. We are looking for a _good_ Event Log consolidation tool - preferably one that is more GUI based than manual. I have looked briefly at GFI's Even Log Monitor and wasn't too impressed with it but maybe I didn;t give it enough time. We don't need a lot of fluff. Any recommendations/experience?

    - ArcServe v9 We have been using this for around 14 months now without any problems. We backup a member server on our SBS domain (the SBS has it's own tape drive and runs ArcServe2000 for SBS) and also two other clients. These clients are running dBase for DOS which is a 16-bit application. I have installed BAOF (SP5) and Client agent so that the member server which has a LTO2 tape drive accesses the machines using IP (just normal of ArcServe). The clients (2 PCs called A and B) are backed up in turn. PC A contains the program and the data is held on PC B. When PC A runs the program to access datafiles on PC B, then when the backups hit PC A (to backup the whole machine) we suddenly get Event ID:50 in the logs of PC A (Delayed Write Failed) and the program on PC A stops responding. I have raised this with CA Tech Support and we have not come up with a solution. Any ideas? skc Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168744

    - SBS 2000 Exchange 2000 / Outlook issue I have just installed SBS 2000 on a server with only Server and Exchange options. The installs seems to have gone ok and no errors appeared in the event log. I have installed Virusscan and Groupshield and configured the exclusions. Outlook is installed on the server and when i try to connect the Outlook 2000 SP3 client to the Administrator account it opens, you can see messages in the inbox but the lower pain is grayed out and the program freezes and stops responding I then have to stop the Outlook.exe service. I haven't tryed to connect any clients to the server as this is supposed to replace the existing server and I can't have the two servers on the network at the same time. I have checked the event logs and can't see any Exchange related errors, I have also checked the services and all seem to be running ok. This has really stumped me:-( I am supposed to be swapping the servers over at the weekend but can't when it is in this state. OS Platform: SBS 2000 W2K SP4 EXCH 2000 SP3 Outlook SP3 Virusscan Enterprise Groupshield for Exchange 2000 DNS seems to functioning correctly Exchange services start and stay up Thanks in advance for any help Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168736

    - Domain Not Found error on workstations We've just upgraded from a satellite internet connection to a DSL connection. Due to the limitations of satellite I've never explored the possibilities that SBS offers. Now that I have DSL, I want to set SBS up to work for us. Somewhere in my conversion I've lost the ability of my workstations to connect to the domain. When attempting to logon the "The system cannot log you on now because the domain GRANT is not available." When the server was connected to the satellite, workstations were able to log onto the domain. Somewhere in my settings changes, I've lost that ability. Workstations are all XP Pro SP2. I am able to log into Exchange email from outside the network using webmail and from the workstations, using a locally stored profile and Outlook. I can also log into the network stores but have to enter username and password each time. I am also able to surf the web from the workstations. I can also use remote desktop from outside the network over the web. When I try to use the XP Network ID wizard I get this error: DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM: The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM The following domain controllers were identified by the query: grant1.grant.mckinleyfuneral.com Common causes of this error include: - Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses. - Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.

    - Deny User permissions upon moving files within shared folder Hello all, Could you please advise me on how to restrict the access rights of one Domain User from moving files within a Shared Folder. The user should have sufficient rights to write in the files, but not to save them afterwards to a different! directory. The permissions granted for all Domain Users on this Shared Folder are Modify - Read & Execute - List Folder Contacts - Read - Write.

    - 50+ users and the future after SBS2000 After running SBS2000 from around 10 users (around 3 years ago) to it's maximum today (at 50!) we are now in the position to get of SBS and go for something that caters for more than 50 users. We are planing to purchase two boxes - 1. to have on it Server 2003 Std with around 60 CALS that will be our PDC running AD running ISA 2004 Server (with 60 CALs too) - do we need 60 CALS on Win03 Server if we plan to have around 60 people (clients) on the network? 2. to have Exchange 2003 with 60 CALs(?) - is this correct? We want to use the SBS applications - i.e Exchange and ISA as we also run GFI's MSEC and DSEC and MESS to pick up our mail from POP3. Has anyone done any work on stepping forward from SBS2000 in a 50+ user environment and advise on CALs and the setup above. The reason why we choose 2 boxes is that we want to separate the PDC/Internet (Server03 running ISA2004) machine from the Mailserver (running Exchange) in case of future problems. Are ISA2004 and Exchange2003 the latest proxy and mail software from Microsoft or are there any changes that will appear soon? I need advise please. skc Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168720

    - Group Policy software roll-out Hi, We are running SBS2000 with around 45 clients and we have a file server on the domain running Win03 Server Std as a member server. We are running ACT! and wish to roll-out a newer version. Previously, we have gone around to all machines and run the install from a shared CD-ROM drive on the network - but naturally this takes a lot of time. We wish to install the software using Group Policy. Please can someone tell me how I can do this so that I can pop the CD into the SBS and run the install from all clients.

    - IS FSG corrupt, mailboxes OK. Restore question HI Yesterday our Exchange aware backup failed with an error saying the Mailbox Infromation Store first storgae group is corrupt. Error 474 in Event viewer too. The Mailboxes and Public Folders backed up OK. The fix is to restore from backup. If I restore the IS from backup, will I have to restore the mailboxes over the top too, to take into account mail delivered in the past few days? Thanks in advance Lewej Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168717

    - Help! Backup didn't run Exchange logs filled partition Client moved their office in November and for one reason or another hasn't run backup since 11/10/04. Prior to that an Exchange aware backup using Tapeware was run daily without serious incident on the Dell Poweredge SBS 2000 sever for the last year and a half. Today Exchange services stopped with the event log message that the Exchange partition ( I setup a separate partition for Exchange when I setup the server) had only 3 mb of space left. I checked the MDBDATA folder and, as I expected, it was full of E00XXXX.log files going back to 11/10/04 each of 5,120 kb size. I tried running the backup to clear the logs but as the Exchange services were stopped the backup ran fine, it just did not backup Exchange and thus, apparently, did not clear the log files. The question, I think, is how to clear up enough space on the Exchange partition to mount the store to run the backup to clear the logfiles. Is there a good way to do this? Or any good way to delete the logfiles? I understand that it just brute force deleting them can be dangerous. Can they be moved? I have space on my data partition to do this temporarily. Thanks, Victor Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168712

    - ISA server reports I produce monthly ISA server reports for analysis. I'm aware of a problem that ISA reverses dates in non US-English system locales and have applied SP2 which I believe fixes this problem. My question is in the main summary report it has all the dates listed and has server participation, all our dates up to the first 12 days are reversed (US style mm/dd) and has 'no' for participation. All the remaining dates are dd/mm format for our locale and have 'Yes' for participation. Except of course when the day and month are the same like 11/11, this is always yes. This has always confused me as I read this as this monthly report does not include the first 12 days of data. This is same before and after the ISA SP2 patch was applied (containing MS 331064) Is this correct ?, and if so why didn't the patch fix this problem. Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168711

    - backup email to a mail hosting company. Does anyone know of a way I might be able to have my smtp mail routed to 2 different mail locations? Here is my scenario. I would like mail coming to our domain to be sent to our ISP, as it currently is. This mail is retrievable by webmail. I would also like a copy of all mail sent to our exchange server. The exchange server would be what we use for normal mail operations. However, if our exchange mail server goes down, we would like to be able to revert to checking mail on our ISP's webmail server, _and_ we would like that there would be a history of all mail received even before our exchange server crashed. You might be wondering why we might want such an elaborate fall back mechanism. Our business operates with many very time sensitive deadlines. Much of these deadlines revolve around emails. It would instill peace of mind to be able to know that if our internal mail server was down for any slightly lengthy period (fire, flood, hurricane), we would still have immediate access to all mail, including mail we received in the weeks before the failure. Thanks, Joe /------- webmail / pop accounts (used only when main server is down.) email ------> \----- exchange server (everyday use) ps. I know exchange can be setup to forward emails to another account. This solution alone is not good enough since when exchange is down we will not be able to current receive external email.

    - SBS 2000 Exchange/ISP Reply Address Problem We are running a W2KSBS with Exchange using a ISP POP3 for external email. The user logs onto the domain xxx.local. When they send external email it goes out through the ISP however the reply address that is associated with this external email is joe@xxx.com which is the FQDN but joe doesn't exist. Some ISP's allow a second alias which allows us to enter this alias and therefore get around the invalid email reply address issue. This particular ISP doesn't allow two alias's so have to come up with a different resolution. Regards Bill Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168704

    - No administrator console on SBS 2000, can I fix this faulty installation ? Hi everybody, we bought new server hardware this week, and had the company who sold it to us install SBS 2000 (a licence we bought a few years ago) from the installation media we provided (actually, the SBS 2000 Upgrade DVD). The server is now running in our network as the domain controller, but it seems we didn't exactly get a full install of "Small Business Server". The imminent problem is that we cannot use our "SBS 2000 5 Client" addon disk on it, so 5 of our colleagues are left with no workstation. Looking into the problem, I found out there is no SBS Administrator Console in the start menu, and the file "itprosbsconsole.msc" does not even exist on the harddisk. By searching the web I figured out that company who did the install probably didn't install the whole thing, so the server isn't actually running as a "Small Business Server 2000", but rather as a Windows 2000 Server, for which we have no addon licences. Now to fix this problem quickly, I tried to install the consoles myself to the running system. When I pop in the DVD (the actual CD1 is not readable anymore), and run "setup.exe" from the CD1 folder, the setup starts and asks me to insert a "Backoffice 4.0 or 4.5" CD1 (of course, because the SBS 2000 is an upgrade version). So, I out in the 4.5 CD1 and now I get the error message (roughly translated): "You cannot upgrade this install of Windows with the CD you inserted." So, I cannot install the Administrator console. What I would like to know, is what possibilities am I left with here: - Do I need a full reinstall from scratch? - If so, is it possible to install the SBS 2000 Server from the DVD, or do I need to use the CDs (what is the difference) - As a full reinstall is a time problem, is there a way to get working addon licenses to this SBS 2000 "mutation" I am running now, for a quick fix? - Will I run into any other problems with this faulty install I might not be aware of? Thank you in advance! Oliver Besicz -- obesityrules@gmx.li Tag: SBS 2003 server upgrade path Tag: 168694

    - Migration problems I'm in the middle of migrating from SBS2000 to standard 2003 products. Have installed the new server, ran DCPROMO,moved the FSMO all except domain naming master, think I have to seize that role. My big problem is Exchange, have moved the mailboxes with system manager to the new server. Then I'm going to "Remove the first Exchange 2000 server" from the site. But that doesn't work . I can see the SBS server from Exchange 2003 system manger, but the SBS Exchange doesn't see the new server. When I try to rehome public, OAB etc it fails.
