    - Netmeeting remote control Hello, I have an SBS 2000 server configured with two network cards, and all is fine. I now have a firewall installation that has been configured to allow VPN, and all is working well. The result is, I have connectivity to the external NIC of my SBS server. Is it possible to therefore use netmeeting to remote control an SBS client sat on the internal LAN from a machine connected to the external NIC? I have mastered the art of remote control via netmeeting on the internal LAN. I think my questions are more in the ISA 2000 and routing interface area. Thank You Alan Tag: software assurance Tag: 115322

    - SBS moving exchange public folders Hi Group, I had been trying to move exchange 2000 to a new server but had to revert back temporarilty as we wern't able to send e-mails from the new server externally through port 25, had some problems, which may have taken a few to fix. Anyway,We had replicated folders etc to the new mail server though. I use MS SBS 2000 along with Exchange server 2000 and keep getting the following messages into my own personal inbox. From Public Folder Store (OurServerName) Subject Conflict message - (Whatever Message subject was) When i double click to open these messages i get Multiple edits have been made to "RE: Here it is" conflicting edits have been attached to a conflict message in "2001 - Customer- E-mails". If i then click the open message in conflict button i can see two e-mails NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEMRe:Here it is I then have two options keep this item or keep all. I do not know what will happen if i select the keep all tab or keep this only tab. I have a total of 300+ e-mails in my inbox from the last four days. I can see that the e-mails changed times are somehting like 5 minutes apart frrom when the system states they are being changed. Any ideas on why i am the only user receiving this error message and also how to fix the fault? Any help/advice much appreciated. Regards Cath Tag: software assurance Tag: 115294

    - System crashes at regular time My system crashes almost every night within the same 20 minute window. The physical server has the normally green on/off switch glowing orange as though it's in a power save mode but the server has to be unplugged to get it going again. The server is on a UPS so I don't thinks it's due to an external problem and the regularity makes me thinks it's not power supply. Has anyone come across this type of problems before or does anyone have any ideas as to how I might track down possible causes. Thanks Tag: software assurance Tag: 115293

    - Newbie post - printer set up question Sorry for the basic question. We are a small company just implementing its first server on SBS 2000 and don't _yet_ have a networked printer. We would like to connect one of our current DeskJet printers directly to the server and use it as a pseudo _networked_ printer rather than directly into the switch. Is it possible to set up the DeskJet in this way and for it to be addressable by the client computers? If not can anyone recommend a cheap networked mono laser printer, preferably HP?

    - RDC to another workstation Hello all, I can use my workstation's Remote Desktop Conncetion (in WinXP) to connect to the server without any problem, but for some reason I can not connect to other Workstations on the LAN. When I try, a message comes back saying "The client could not connect to the remote computer ... Remote connection might not be enables or the computer might be too busy...". It's definitely not busy, so I was wondering how to enable this on a Workstation running Win2K Professional (assuming that's the problem).

    - One User Multiple Mailboxes Peoples, I have a user who needs to have access to another mailbox. For example their current email address is joe@domain.com I also need to be able to give them access to a mailbox called accountsdept@domain.com so that they can send and receive email on this address as well. How do I go about doing this without creating an accountsdept user account? Or as an alternative do I need to create an accountsdept user account and if so how do I give the user Joe access to the accountsdept mailbox so that they can send and receive email as the accountsdept user as well. With many thanks. -Corey Tag: software assurance Tag: 115254

    - Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600 Hi, Discovered another thing last night that concerns me a bit. I was looking through my ISA logs and I found lots of entries containing the line "Microsoft-WebDAV-MiniRedir/5.1.2600". Can someone give me an indication as to whether I should be panicking now? I have ISA blocking port 80 but I got a shock when I discovered that IIS was running on the SBS box (a result of some internal OWA testing I think). Anyway, all these entries contain the SBS box internal IP or the IP of another internal box on the LAN. So...is this just something happening internally? or am I being pinged? or have I been hacked?

    - Address book for shared fax on Windows 2000 Server Help! What am I missing? I created a contacts folder in Public Folders, set the permissions accordingly, had each user set Outlook to see it as an "Outlook Address Book". Now Outlook and Shared Fax can use this address book - great - but on our XP machines only. On the server itself however (W2K Server), neither Outlook nor Shared Fax can see it as an address book. When I click "Address Book" in Shared Fax, I get Global Address List, All Address Lists, All Contacts, All Groups, All Users, and Public Folders. Not even my normal mailbox Exchange contacts show up. How on Earth can I get this contacts folder to show up in Shared Fax? I even checked that IE is using Outlook for email (another setting I saw in a post here). Tag: software assurance Tag: 115197

    - XP and Win2k clients cannot logon to the domain Hi all! At a customer site I have three computers that can't logon to the SBS domain. It is two Win XP Pro and on Win 2000 that can't logon. There's also three other Win XP Pro clients and a bunch of Win 98 clients that work as normal. The affected computers hangs at either the Applying personal settings or just a blue screen with the mouse pointer on. The problem occured this morning, previously there haven't been any problems. The server is just a week and a half old, and the onl thing I changed yesterday was to add the WINS-server in the DHCP-server broadcast to speed up the connection on the XP-clients. Of course I have tried to remove that entry, but that didn't help at all All computers have their IP-address via DHCP, and I have verified that they get the right DNS-settings, WINS-server, Netbios and so on. There are no strange entries in the event logs and I have removed the computers from the domain and added them under another name, tried different user accounts and so on. Logging on to the local machine is possible and then you can connect to the shared resources on the server. Do anyone have any suggestions to what to try next, I don't want reformat the computers.

    - XP Client logon over Linksys VPN slow or fails entirely We have recently tried to add a remote location to our HQ small business 2000 networkusing an IPsec VPN tunnel. The remote location has a win2k server running as a domain controller also. We want to add them in order to use exchange, shared folders, and control web access using a product called surfcontrol. We set up both the remote and hq locations with 128k "fixed IP" dsl lines and Linksys befsx41 router/firewalls. A VPN was established between the two routers. I can ping between them with no problem using local lan IP addresses. I can ping the machine name of the sbs server from the remote location. We added an xp client from the remote to the HQ domain. Although the process took quite a while it semed to work OK. However the login process takes a long time (10-20 minutes) and about 50% of the time when its done we can't access the server. During this long login process, there does not seem to be much traffic over the VPN nor is the perf monitor showing much in the way of system activity on either the client or the server. It just seems to be waiting for something that sometimes never happens. We took the same xp client that exhibited this behavior to the hq location, put it on the LAN, and it logs in and works OK. There are no user error messages displayed when this happens. Event viewer has a few messages about services not being able to find a domain controller. The only thing I can find differently about the VPN connection is that we can not send as many bytes in a ping packet as we can on the local lan whithout getting a timeout. 45 bytes less works OK. I assume that is for IPSec info or something. Is this our problem? Any ideas? Tag: software assurance Tag: 115078

    - SBS2K Slower than it should be I just setup a new SBS setup with only 3 clients setup so far. Fast SCSI drives, fast gigabit nics, 39160 adaptec ard.. Built it. Very fast workstation but slow over the network. Well, it should be faster for what is has. It is SBS2000, SP1 installed. ISA Server is on. All the duplex settings match. Internet access is fast though. It is just copying files over. I don't even have my antivirus installed yet. It is a XEON 2.8. I have older Pentiums that are just as fast and don't have the fast scsi drives. Is there a way to improve performance on the server. I remember a way of setting the server that it should be a certain way depending on how it is used but I don't remember where that setting is. I remember using the setting back when SBS 2K first come out. This server is primarily a print/file server, ISA, Exchange. Where is that setting? I am having a brain fade.

When it becomes available, yes. You'll also need a install key, for
which you'll either have to contact MS, or it will be available through
the online Open Licensing website.
