    - SBS2K Faxing Service I've got an SBS 2000 Server that can't keep its Fax Service running. The service has four dependencies attached to it, all of which are running happily. Whenever I manually start the service, it runs for all of a minute, then stops itself, with nothing written to the log. The modem is a USR external serial, with updated firmware. Has anyone seen this before, or have any input? All is appreciated. Thanks. -- Any Excuse is a Good Excuse to go Sailing!!! Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 157007

    - OfficeScan server not updating pattern files? Hello We had a problem recently when part of the OfficeScan software was deleted by mistake! I re-installed the software but it looks as if there is a config error as the server is not updating the pattern files. I have hourly schedule for this and the proxy server info is there. I think I'm correct in having port 8080 for this? Is there any way in which I can test that the proxy settings are OK? Apart from the fact that they appear to be wrong as the updating is not happening! Cheers Geoff Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156995

    - Terminal Services Client We have recently installed a new Server Running SBS 2000 and started using Terminal Services (from a Windows 2000 machine) and Remote Desktop (from 2 XP Pro Machines). It was working fine, until approximatetly the ending of the 90 day trial period. I have activated the Server's Terminal Server Licence and was told we need to buy the CAL's - which have been installed. I am able to get to the Network by VPN - but both TS and RD come up 'Busy' (originally it came up 'Timed out', restarted the Server and now it only comes up with Busy!). After re-speaking to Microsoft, they have confirmed we don't actually need the CAL licences (but thats a side issue) - any idea whats gone wrong, as, as far as I can tell, the only 'thing' that has occured is the expiring the the trial period (Server in question is a Dual Xeon 2.4, with 2Gb, which never goes above 710Mg in use and about 5% processor usage, so it isn't busy*) Thanks Paul * - While writing this message, Server has a 1Gb card - but is running though a 10/100 Switch, so a bottleneck could be occuring there....but it was working fine beforehand (so unlikely!).

    - SMTP Queue Keeps filling up Hi, Ive got a SBS2k Server with all the service packs on it, I have a problem with our SMTP server. We use SMTP to send via DNS instead of a smart host, but when I check the queue it is filled with thousands of messages from Mailer-Daemon@Zish.Kharkov.ua to which the subject is Virus intercepted. I'm constantly having to clean this queue throughout the day. Does anyone know of this as none of these e-mail are being sent out from the company. If anyone can help me stop this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance Andy C Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156963

    - SMTPVS queue wont delete mail I have spent all day working on this and have so far got nowhere! The problem is that a user sent a 2.6MB file to over 260 recipients. The Exchange server seems to have freaked out because I dont believe a single one has been delivered and the failed emails are sending NDR's to the sender over and over again. The expiration timeout period of the Default SMTP Virtual Server is set to 4 hours. This email was sent about 30 hours ago and is still sending NDR's. I have attempted to delete the mail from the queue. If a queue lists 1 or more mail items for that domain, selecting freeze or delete turns it to 0. Most queued items are already set at 0. I have deleted the items in the \VS 1\queue folder but the items regenerate again! I have set all timeout periods to 1 minute and after 1 minute the items in the VS 1\Queue folder are removed but are still listed in the SMTPVS and still runs the Internet connection flat out and sends NDR's. A reboot will regenerate the VS 1\Queue folder just as it had originally, and again will slowly delete all items again. This has got me stumped. It seems nothing will remove the items from the queue, and the server is still tryint to send tomething even though it has expired and is not listed in the VS 1\Queue folder. Any help at all greatly appreciated. Tippy. Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156962

    - Imminent upgrade to SBS2003 & new hardware Hello people, We are moving to a new building, and I thought I would take the opportunity to upgrade from SBS2000 to 2003. The boss has also volunteered to buy us a new machine for the server. I think it is going to be a similar spec, but with IDE instead of SCSI drives (more space, possibly not as fast). I am looking for some advice about how best to set-up and configure the new network, and how best to make use of the old server. I already have a copy of SBS 2003 which came with this year's Action Pack subscription (I have two copies of SBS 2000, one which we bought with the original server, and one from last year's Action Pack). However, I believe it is not possible to have two SBS machines connected on the same network. Is this correct? Obviously it would be useful to have both machines connected together to transfer data across (although I do have a couple of removable USB drives that I could use for this if necessary). Currently I have an old 486 machine that I am using as a web server (running Apache on Win98 with Web Forwarding from the SBS machine). This is very slow, but does the job (our main website is hosted externally at the ISP). My thought is to throw this away and perhaps use the old server for this instead. When I originallay set this up I was advised by people in this group that having a web server sitting in the SBS network was not a good idea from a security point of view, and instead I should have set it up in it's own 'DMZ'. I decided to take the risk and don't seem to have had any problems. Would the same considerations apply with SBS 2003? If I decide to use the old SBS box for the web server, it would seem a bit of a waste to have it sitting there just doing this one job. I would prefer to have it on the network and available for other things, possibly hosting a database. Might it be a good idea to have exchange running on this machine instead of the new server? Anyway, this will hopefully all be happening in a couple of weeks time (as soon as the boss signs the lease on the new building). This will only be my second SBS installation, and my first attempt at copying stuff across from one to another so any advance warning of any likely problems would be greatly appreciated. Are there any patches I should download in advance? Thanks, Phil. Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156958

    - Exchange licenses exceeding users I noticed a disturbing thing yesterday, When looking at my exchange 2003 server I noticed it was throwing up warnings about license usage exceeding license limits. I am using per server licenses and when I go into licensing uder admin tools I actually have 12 more CALS being used than I have users. And my current users are randomly being kicked off of the server. I then looked uder the exchange system manager and I have the correct number of mailboxes for the users, though I have 3 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM mailboxes (SMTP, System Attendant and SystemMailbox) that I assume are some default creations. But taking these into account I still have more CALS out than mailboxes. Can anyone give me some idea as to what may or may not be going on? Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156893

    - reaching the 50 user barrier on SBS 2000 We currently are running SBS 2000. Ourt business has grown substantially over the past year and we are approaching the 50 user limit on SBS. Because of this, we are looking at upgrading to SBS 2003 (75 users) OR full blown win 2003 server with Exchagne SQL server ISA etc... (very very pricy!!!) This morning as a test, I added 10 more 'test' users - which would put us beyond the 50 user limit just to see what would happen. I created Exchange mailboxes for each. I expected SBS to prevent me from adding the 51st user, but was pleasantly surprised when this was not the case. Where is the limit? Does it prevent 51 concurrent users only - meaning I could have 100 users in the AD but as long as only 50 are logged on at once I'm ok? If this is the case, then we are ok because we will not have all 50 users on at once. Please let me know where the SBS limitations are. Maybe we do not have to upgrade to 2003 SBS just yet...

Also under Active Directory Users and Computers, Domain Controllers snap-in (help)it says that only a member of Domains Admin Group is allowed to make this change.

    - Obscure license issue question I have a question that I hope someone might be able to help me with. A customer of mine has an SBS machine in his head office. This machine connects to the internet via a broadband router, and participates in SQL server replication from other machines that are installed in the customers other offices around the country. In a downstairs office of the same building, the customer runs another business. He wants to install another SBS machine, which will then replicate SQL server data out to another location, again via the Internet. My question is: can we do this using the same broadband router that the 'upstairs' machine uses? This would require that the two SBS machines are on the same IP network, but they would be configured to have different domains. In actual fact, once the data has been replicated out to another system via the internet, that system in turn will replicate back into the upstairs system. This is because data is collated in groups of offices, and each group is then passed back to the head office system, 'upstairs' in this scenario. My headache is whether I would be breaking the SBS licensing rules by having these machines physically connected. It appears that I can assign two different addresses to the LAN side of the broadband router, so I could have the two on separate IP networks (as long as we can figure out SQL replication using non-standard port numbers) but would this be enough to satisfy licensing? The last option is a second broadband connection and another router, but the customer is keen to avoid the running cost of another line. Your thoughts would be most appreciated. Mike.

    - Why is my ISA SMTP filter not working? Hi , I am running SBS 2000 for my business. I have 10 users and use all the SBS2000 components except SQL (not installed). We use Exchange as SMTP e-mail server (no POP connector). I set up a number of SMTP filters to delete messages that contain the typical executables, exe, com, pif, scr etc. I was uncomfortable with the number of worms that were getting through as far as my anti-virus software (Trend). However, in spite of the filter I am still getting notification from Trend of e-mails that contain message.scr and message.pif with a virus (Netsky). I thought that the filter would be deleting these messages before they got to the anti-virus. I tried adding message.scr to the filters in addition to *.scr but these are still getting through.

    - 2nd network card - removal I am using SBS 2000 and will migrate to 2003 shortly. I want to remove the 2nd network card as I don't use it as I rely on a hardware firewall. Should I do this before the upgrade or afterwards? Simon Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156795

    - Dead mouse and keyboard Recently, for no reason my mouse on my server stopped working. It's PS/2 mouse. No amount of swapping mice, etc. worked. I plugged in a USB mouse rather than mess around. After a crash (lightning spike which the USB didn't stop), the keyboard is also not working. Same trials as mouse but no avail. Again a USB keyboard works, but that's not the point. Where do I begin looking please? Simon Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156794

    - Moving system to new hardware Hi Everyone, i was wondering if anyone had any experiences migrating to new hardware? My client was supplied with a very low spec machine which is struggling to keep pace with his requirements and wants to upgrade the box entirely. Am I right to think I won't have to rebuild the domain on the new server and re-create all the accounts and shares etc.? Since SBS won't allow a second DC I was wondering if there's an quick way of transferring the whole system across? I was thinking of using a disk clone/ghost tool but was afraid that it might not work due to GUID's and other such items that lurk in the background! Any suggestions would be gratefully received. regards, Darragh. Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156792

    - Help! Exchange RPC bindings changed! I'm down! (SBS2000) I was working on an article to rid myself of an annoying event I used this command : netdiag /fix /debug /v > netdiag.txt Now no Outlook clients are unable to connect to exchange! I have checked the client RPC protocols on server and clients. Also for server below: Rpc_Svr_Binding_Order = ncacn_ip_tcp,ncacn_spx,ncacn_vns_spp It looks like it's bound to wrong IP (external IP) rather then internal - how do I fix? I have performed an RPCDUMP - and found that the RPC bindings have changed to my external IP - but unsure how to restore listeners to internal IP ? All the bindings are to my external IP - thats why internal clients cant connect Is there a script - I'm down!!! (still looking on the KB) Any help would be appreciated - Peter Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156786

    - 2nd dns zone www A record I have an SBS server with it's primary domain incorrect (company.com) with an A record for the external www server. That works fine. I have a second domain only for email which works fine. I need to add a 3rd domain that will recieve email but also have an external www server. I added a second DNS zone with the www A record, but there must be something I'm missing. I made the zone active directory aware as that seemed the best choice in the wizard. I can hit the external webpage from the SBS but not from external locations. Hopefully there's something simple I've missed Any help would be appreciated. BJ Tag: windows backup failing Tag: 156778

I have an sbs box with the windows backup setup. The backup starts to run but then fails and errors out saying that unable to find script.bks can not be found. If I run the backup manually it works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yes I have, but and everytime I do a manual backup it works fine but when the scheduled one runs it fails looking for script.bks.
