    - help - corrupt DHCP? I am getting dhcpserver event id's 1010, 1014 and 1016. From reading various posts, while my system is working, this indicates I may have a corrupt dhcp/wins I could do with some help in how to correct this. My current range is 192.0.0.1 to 192.0.0.254 and is set up as follows: a) I have exclusions set up for: 192.0.0.1 to 192.0.0.10 for various servers and switches 192.0.0.245 to 192.0.0.254 for some barcoding equipment a number of relatively random numbers assigned to printers b) I have reservations on 3 ip addresses for printers c) Finally 1 server which was previously assigned an address by dhcp has had its address fixed in its set up but this address is not yet added to the excluded or reserved lists. My current proposed course of action is to stop dhcp and then delete %SystemRoot%\System32\Dhcp\dhcp.mdb and then restart dhcp. Can anyone advise if this is ok?

    - 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? Thank you, Steve Mahon Tag: volume Tag: 145738

    - Creating share on new volume Hi all, I would like to make our Access XP database available on a seperate volume from the C Drive. I've created a new volume (Drive E) which is a Default share. I would like to put the database alone in this partition but can't locate it from the client computers. I can locate it if I put it in the company share on the C: Drive - \\ServerName\CompanySharedFolder\Database but how can I access \\ServerName\DriveE\Database ? I tried creating a new share on Drive E with max share permissions & full control for all users but I can't locate a shortcut to it from the client desktops. Any help appreciated.

    - ISA restrict Web Sites??? Hi, I have a SBS2K server with 35 windows 2K client machines . I have a slight problem with specific web pages in the company. Some of the days work at our company is reducing due to users playing on games at http://www.miniclip.com to which is reducing the amount of work being produced in the day. I am having trouble finding out if ISA server can restrict access to these sites, I have looked on the web searching through google and all I am getting is to purchase software for the job. Does anyone know of anyway I can do this as this is becoming a potential danger to the amount of work done throughout the day. Thanks in advance Andy C Tag: volume Tag: 145735

    - Event Viewer disappearing act We recently migrated from our old SBS2000 box to a new one. We had to re-join all the Windows 2000 Pro client to the new SBS (DC) due to the SSID issue. A client is running Windows 2000 Server (non-DC) and we have noticed that his Event Viewer contents are dissappearing. When he click on the Application Log, for instance, the header says 1,279 item(s), but nothing is displayed. This is intermittent, as when he click away from it and then back onto it, then it comes back again. Surely something very weird but very hard to pinpoint! Please help. skc Tag: volume Tag: 145731

    - Not able to browse the Internet overseas? I have a customer that is having a problem with a Notebook that they travel with. The Notebook is setup to connect to a SBS 2000 server but occasionally it is brought overseas to connect to the Internet. I checked and they are receiving a valid IP address, Default Gateway and DNS server(s). In order to enable browsing I had then uncheck the Proxy Server in the Lan Settings of IE. The bypass Proxy Server for Local Address was checked as I thought this would allow for Browsing if there wasn't a Proxy. Any idea why we needed to make this change and is this standard operating?

    - exchange queues and bad mail Because I keep getting these so called microsoft security updates I end up with loads of mail in the SMTP queue, sometimes it prevents mail from going out. If i delete them they seem to still take ages to clear? Is it safe to go into the actual directory and delete then out of there or does it have to be done via the program? can i do the same witht he bad mail section?

    - Group Policy I am applying a GP (not touching the Default Policy) on our SBS, and adding members to it so that they can be applied with the GP. What I noticed, is that users have shortcut icons on their taskbar (near the Start button) in Windows 2000, and when i apply a GP to that user, he cannot see any shortcut icons on his taskbar. Also, the user has Local Admin rights, but I have disabled Control Panel and Active Desktop so that he cannot play with the machine - add/remove any programs or add a wallpaper. How do I enable the taskbar icons - can this be done? I then want to set up folder redirections for the desktop and My Documents as I want to setup Roaming Profiles for each user.

    - Users cannot FTP from workstations Hi Have an SBS server. With two ethernet connections one to the internet and one to the lan. Server is setup as standard as it can be. It is utilising the ISA firewall. The workstations are Windows XP profesional workstations. 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: volume 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: volume 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 Mark Tag: volume Tag: 145702

    - 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: volume Tag: 145679

I do not want anyone except this group to see the contents of the folder. I created a group (eg. MyGroup) from AD and added few users including myself to this group. I can see this group name under ..\Mybusiness\Group folder. I then created a folder (eg. GroupFolder) in the Server and select properties. I choose "Do not share this folder" in the Sharing tab. I added the MyGroup in the Security tab with Full access. I remove Everyone from the Security tab. When I try access to the file folder, I got the error "Access is denied". What did I do wrong?

    - Shared Fax / Dialing rules / Outlook XP - need help with 100+ faxing per day ! I need to get Shared Fax working for a customer has Win2000 SBS (W2K sp3) and Outlook XP clients. I have done the Contacts import/export conversion so that ALL contacts have the canonical form dialing showing up. (i.e. +1-555-222-3333). The local phone company requires area-code inclusion for LOCAL calls. Long distance calls require +1 on the number. There are 2 USR 56k PCI modems installed on the server. they were on the Server 2000 HCL list. I have added to the Shared Fax - Outgoing Routing - Rules to use "1" as the country code for "all areas", "all devices". The default rule is still in place. So...the user STILL does not get a successful fax connection to a 1+###-###-#### attempt but you can pick up the same line with a handset and dial directly with a good result. Mostly, I'd love to hear from anyone who does a high volume of faxing 100+ per day, successfully. Also, which computer really controls the dialing...the client or the Win2K server? please, any help would be appreciated.

The Test document is not available to any other clients. D:\Company Shared - Domain Users, Domain Admins - FC not ticked to inherit from Parent.

Can somebody explain what is going on ? I thought the log files were deleted once they were backed up ? How can I have 12Gb of log files from a day when the server was barely used ? Ian.

    - Is SBS 2000 right for me? I am new to SBS 2000 and Exchange as an admin. I have used them for years, but never set them up. I am suggesting a recommendation that SBS be installed at my brother's law office. Here's the scenario: In the office there are 10 PCs running peer-to-peer. There is a file server installed. There are 2 partners in the office and each has a secretary. Each partner uses a laptop and a pda. The secretary syncs the pda with her local copy of Outlook. But each partner cannot use his laptop to see current Outlook appointments because they are on the secretary's system. My idea is to install SBS 2000 and create a domain. Each secretary could maintain the corresponding partner's calendar by opening it in Outlook. When the partner wants the PDA synced up the secretary can open the appropriate calendar (and any other folders) and sync it. The partner would also be able to see his own calendar in Outlook. Does this sound reasonable? Another option is to forego SBS and Exhange and have the secretary sync her Outlook to the pda, then have the partner sync the pda to his copy of Outlook. Still another option is to sync each copy of Outlook using Vaita's OSASync. I think they will get much better mileage out of SBS and Exchange. Thanks - Jim Tag: volume Tag: 145607

    - <<< Small Business Server news of the week December 7th 2003 >>>>> Kevin's song of the week news://msnews.microsoft.com:119/u6Rs0h7uDHA.2492@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl ---------------------------------- Bryce Milton is seeking SBS testers for our SBS date issue news://msnews.microsoft.com:119/Oihe35EvDHA.2464@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl --------------------------------- This past week was Security webcast week.... if you missed them, all the webcasts have been recorded and posted on the web. Go to www. microsoft.com/security for more details -------------------------------- This Tuesday is the second Tuesday of the month and that means it's Security Day! Look for potential hotfixes to come out on that day. Sign up for security bulletins to be informed of these patches Go to www.microsoft.com/security for more details ------------------------------- SHAREPOINT ISSUE Just remember our Sharepoint issue .... set your system date clock back before 11/24/2003 and install your Small Business Server 2003. More details including picture how-tos are at www.sbslinks.com click on the "Sharepoint link" at the top. ------------------------------- So today I'm on the road coming home from a weekend trip to Los Angeles to visit with friends and celebrate their son's "Black belt" in TaeKwanDo. And being the geek that I am, I've got the laptop, the cell phone, the digital camera for the trip. For a friend of the family, we are building them a new computer with Windows XP [yeah ... the Home version but they only need the computer for Home] and one of the major things we did was to enable the firewall on that dial up connection. Start, control panel, network connections, network card properties, click on the advanced tab and enable the firewall. When you visit friends and family this Christmas season, do your Holiday geek duty and just check out their computers, ensuring that they are patched, have an up to date antivirus. In fact, burn in XP sp1 and all security patches on a cdrom and help them keep their systems up to date. Yes, that's really geeky I know.... but all of us can help each other be a little more secure. If you want to know just HOW geeky I am.... I'm connecting to the web using my GPRS Nokia 6220 cell phone to send this email. I know... pretty geeky that as long as my battery holds out and I can get a GPRS connection, I can get online just about anywhere! :-) --------------------------- Spanish police arrest Raleka worm suspect Spanish police have arrested a 23-year-old man in Madrid, who is suspected of being the author of the W32/Raleka worm which infected more than 120,000 computers in August. The Raleka worm operated in a similar way to the Blaster worm, exploiting the Windows RPC Service vulnerability in versions of Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP operating systems. Infected machines could then be used to mount further remote attacks. http://www.computerweekly.com/articles/article.asp?liArticleID=126855 http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/69/34226.html - - - - - - - - - - Police arrest ID thief in Wells Fargo case Police have arrested a California man for stealing computers containing the personal information of thousands of Wells Fargo customers.

    - DNS Configuration Hi, Several of my customer's ISPs charge for DNS hosting. I would like to have my servers do it instead. I have customers with 12+ domain names and they will be charged a lot for this by their ISP. Rather than having network solutions point the domain name to the ISP's DNS it will be pointed to the SBS servers. I have several customers running SBS so I am hoping that I can use seperate servers for DNS redundancy. What I would like to ask is if anyone out there can give me or point me towards idiot proof instructions for how to do this on the SBS2000 server. Guy Tag: volume Tag: 145598

This is on an HP Proliant ML350 G3, I say this because I am wondering if it is a server model bug. Server has been running for 3 months and it used to open. May have been started by a patch installed last month. Any comments before I try to uninstall and reinstall it? Are there problems reinstalling this? Thanks Tag: volume Tag: 145587

    - SMTP We have a small network (25 users) all using win2k & a SBS 2k server, this connects to the outside world via a linux firewall, if the firewall (or the ADSL line) goes down any mail sent during this time ends up in the destination unreachable queue, understandable, however all subsequent outgoing mail ends up there also, & the only way to move them is to stop & restart the SMTP service, any ideas why this is happening? and more importantly how to stop from happening? Any & all suggestions gratefully recieved, I don't have all that much hair left! __________________________________________________________________ Mike ICQ#: 122232506 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me __________________________________________________________________ Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories. - Arthur C Clarke Tag: volume Tag: 145573
