    - can't ping after Routing and Remote Access configuration Trying to setup a 'one-armed' VPN via Microsoft Routing and Remote Access on Small Business Server 2000. After configuring RRAS, my server looses internet connectivity. Can't ping ANYTHING except itself. Needless to say, all Outlook clients obviously freeze and the LAN can't see the server anymore. There is one error message in the Logs about RRAS not being able to contact DHCP, but I assume this is related to the drop in network connectivity. Help, --Matt Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 131211

    - Administrator password changed, admin console not accessible. SBS2000,SP1 Hello, I changed my admin password and could not access my Active Directory via the admin console anymore. Should I have restarted the server? I changed it, no luck. Changed it back to the original and I could access my Console again. What happened? I thought the password could be changed with a reboot? Or do I log off and log back in? Thanks JohnJ Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 131210

    - Help needed with my domain Here's my situation. I have SBS2000 with Exchange in a Central office - ROOT DOMAIN. There is another small office that has a W2K Server and 6 users. However, that office is not a domain. The server is logged in locally. The users login to their machine locally, but the server does provide some file and printer sharing that users have access to. My goal is to connect those users to our domain and have them log on our domain back at the central office. So I need to create a Organizational Unit in AD on our root domain. This is my first time trying to set something like this up on a Point to point T1. Where should I start?? Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 131172

    - baby steps Hi! I think I'm back to taking baby steps again. I have a SBS2k PDC. I have a Win2k Server as member server (print server, terminal server in application mode, file server). We have a Netopia router. I can't get VPN or terminal services to work. Idealistically, I'd like the user to term serv in to the member server with their user rights. My question is this. If I point the router to the member server's ip address for port 3389, how is the login verified with the AD is on the PDC? How can I create client setup disks when the laptop has no floppy drive. MS gives no option for CD, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Marcia Porter Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 131140

    - Log on via VPN Hello, I am trying to figure a way for users at a remote site to log onto a domain via a vpn that goes through a dsl connection to a SBS 2000 server. The remote pc's are obviously not joined to the domain right now, and a user will sit down and click the vpn shortcut after they have logged on locally. I would like them to be able to sit down and log into the domain automatically. I hope this makes sense. I know that you can use a dial-up to connect to a remote network and log into the domain, but I have never set anything up that would use a vpn connection to log in. The reason behind all of this is to be able to monitor things like internet access (or block it altogether), and keep them from being able to tweak the local pc. Any ideas? Thanks!

    - An alternative POP3 connector, anyone???.. Hi all, I've got SBS 2000 at several sites, and at every site, the POP3 connector that comes with Exchange doesn't work. Every time the connector goes to d/l mail, it stops. I've set the recovery to recover constantly, which keeps it up most of the time, but mail seems to be going missing, which I assume is from the srevice shutting down while mail is half dealt with. I've got around this problem at a few sites by using CHimera's EFS (A fantastic little program), but this only works for global POP3 accounts, and this client, has individual accounts (and this can't be changed, for various reasons). Can anyone suggest (freeware or not) a POP3 connector which I can use for individual POP mail boxes, which I can then use to pass the mail to Exchange? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Exchange Questions Q1. Can anyone suggest a good way of being able to get all incoming and outgoing mail into a mailbox as well as the individual users mailbox, I know this is not a good idea but necessary. Q2. Also as by default Exchange sets up a distribution group and to my surprise it also assigns it an Internet address, is a simple matter of removing the SMTP mail address from this group to disable this feature? Q3. Is there any way to monitor (or count) the number of emails coming and going over a period of time or is enabling logging the only way? Thanks for any help. Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 131042

    - An ISA question.. re: dialup application I have posted this question in one of the ISA groups and so far no response, so I thought I would hit the trusty SBS group for a possible answer. Scenario: Customer uses SBS with an ADSL connection for internet access. Client machines behind SBS with ISA enabled uses a dialup application to connect directly to a non-internet connected service which uses TCP/IP and port 443 for connection. Problem: What is happening is that the modem dials, connects and then tries to communicate to remote port 443. Of course the firewall client then busily tries to route the traffic out through ISA and onto the net. Because the IP address range is not internet connected, the request times out and the modem connections fail. Of course by disabling the FW client it will get through but this is not practicle. (More so if it is NT4 SBS that use Microsoft Proxy.) What I need to know is if there is any way to set ISA to ignore/not route the traffic for the modem on the workstation when it is trying to establish a connection to this particular service.

    - Public Folders contacts I have another newbie public folders question. I would like authorized users to be able to add global contacts to a public folder. I logon to a client PC as administrator and open the address book. When I try to add a new contact to the public folders I receive a message stating "You cannot create entries for this address book". So I look in AD and by default there is an "Internet Newsgroups" public folder already installed. First of all I cannot see this folder from Outlook. Second, Under the client permissions option for this folder the "Folder Contact" option is grayed out. So even if I could see the folder I assume I would not be able to add a contact. You get the picture... So what am I doing wrong? All I want to do is provide my users with a public folder to store their global contacts. Be able to see this folder in Outlook and provide security to specific users to maintain the folder. Seems simple enough.... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    - Question about KB Article 292822 and DNS Well as far as I can see we are still having to use the registry edits even on SP1 integrated versions of SBS 2000. I'm not too thrilled about still having to do these edits by hand but hey, at least it works. My question is regarding this section: 1.e "you need to create two A records in DNS: one in the root of the domain for the domain name (for example, a blank host record in your company.local zone), and an A record for your Global Catalog (for example, your SBS server) in gc._msdcs.domain name.com." What is correct for the A Record in the gc section: Should the A record be the host name "myserver" and IP address of the SBS2K box or should it be (same as parent folder) and the IP of the server, i.e.: myserver A 192.168.12.1 or (same as parent folder) A 192.168.0.1 Thanks, Aydin Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 130993

    - Public Folders Error I am configuring a new install of SBS 2000. After running the IIS configuration tool from the ToDo list, I am unable to access my Exchange "Public Folders" in AD. When I click the public folders icon I receive the following message. The connection was refused. Ensure that your HTTP virtual servers are all started and check that the WWW service is running. ID no. c103b401 Exchange System Manager I have confirmed the virtual servers and WWW service is running. If I go back into the IIS configuration tool and click "Restore Defaults", I am then able to access the public folders. Can anybody explain to me what is happening here and how I should procede... Thanks, Don Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 130990

    - modem is not disconnecting after use Hi i have setup our sbs 2000 server as per kb article re: one nic card and dial up connection to the internet. I have got an internal ESS superlink +M modem. I did not have the original drivers for this modem and found one on the net. After clients have finished using mail or internet explorer, the modem does not disconnect. It only disconnects after faxes are sent. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is so? My idle time for the modem is set to 5 minutes but the modem still will not disconnect. I had put in the wrong scope for dhcp and had to give my clients static ip addresses but i have since fixed this and they no longer need to have a static ip address. Do i need to run the icw after this step? This is the only thing i did not do as i was not sure. thanks again Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 130969

    - Mac issues in a SmBusSvr network I have recently assumed the responsibilities of a SmBusSvr2000 office. They are graphic intensive and have 6 Mac's for design purposes. They also have 17 PC's as workstations for other daily activity. The Mac's share files via a Mac volume on the SmBusSvr - no issues. The Mac volume is for sharing of graphics production files that all are working on - no issues here. Owners want "all data" on "all" systems backed up nightly to a separate "Backup Server". Problem is - none of the Mac's can be browsed via the Server. I seem unable to map any Mac's Hard drive. So other than the Mac Volume share, I can not see anything Mac related. How do I bring the Mac's into "My Network Places" so they are viewable ?? How do I set up the nightly backups of the Mac hard drives ? I am perfectly willing to I have overlooked something .... could someone tell me what it is ? -- keep smiling djr jr Tag: windows bootloader Tag: 130965

Does windows have to reside in the primary partition that
has been set to be the boot partition

no.

Think boot floppy.

You can install Windows to any partition you want in the machine, it's just
that the Win Setup generally forces it to the first/primary location.

Jeremy,

SBS4.5 was limiting in that respect because the installation SIF file,
winnt.sif on the floppy installation diskette #2 asked that it be installed
on disk0, and the first partition. SBS 2000 follows the installation
flexibility of all Windows 2000 operating systems. You can select to
install it on any primary partition of your choosing.
