    - Outlook 2003 not being updated when showing as connected One notebook user on a SBS2000 network has been upgraded to outlook 2003. All seemed well for a month and then mysteriously last week outlook messages stopped being updated. In the bottom right of outlook it shows as "Connected" but instead of showing the "All folders are up to date" message the time the folder was last updated is displayed. To get mail the user has to go offline and then do a manual send/receive. Has anyone any idea what has happened and how I fix? Thanks Paul Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164605

    - Microsoft Shared Fax on SBS 2000 stops receiving faxes We run microsoft shared fax on our SBS 2000 server. Every so often, a fax will come in and the fax machine hangs on it. There is a folder on the server, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Shared Fax\Queue, that shows a file in the queue but the size is 0 kb. Every time this happens, if another fax comes in the fax service on the server won't pick up the fax. If I try restart the service, it will stop it but it won't restart it. Our only remedy is to reboot the server. Any suggestions? Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164598

    - Sbsclnt.exe Hi! I've got a quick question about the sbsclnt.exe that by default runs in the script of a client connected to an SBS 2000. Can it be removed from the script safely? I mean, if I don't use the two shortcuts on the desktop (and don't wan't them there) and if I don't need the SBS to install apps on the clients, do I then need the sbsclnt.exe to run each time a client logs on? Does anything bad happen if I remove it or do I miss out on some functionality? Thanx in advance. Regards Thomas Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164587

    - Recommendations for adding a 2nd SQL Server I have an SBS 2000 network set up and running fine. We use the included SQL Server for a small Intranet... Scenario: I need to add a 2nd server (win2k?) with an enterprise version of SQL installed that a company wide software package will access. Only about 50% of the users log into the SBS server... the other 50% simply sit on the LAN (i.e. don't have internet access, e-mail, etc...) but will need to attach to the 2nd SQL Server (using SQL rights... not the server's). Does anyone have any input, cautions, recommendations?? I remember PDC and BDC from NT... but what about w2k and SBS??... What happens with DHCP.... ANY input is greatly appreciated!!! -Dennis ----------------------- You can use most any measure when you are speaking of success. You can measure it in a fancy home, expensive car or dress.

Please retry at a later time. If that fails, contact your system administrator. This message is on every person we try to send too. There has been no changes in Exchange.

    - Branch Office VPN Options I have spent some considerable time over the past few days searching for some tried-and-true recommendations for connecting one of my customer's main office SBS2000 system to a branch office, and have come up disappointingly short. I would appreciate any experience and recommendations from the community. Both main and branch offices have DSL Internet connections, with the main office operating through a standard SBS2000/ISA2000 system. The branch office PC's currently connect to the SBS system via the built-in WinXP PPTP VPN client. They would like to join the two networks with a site-to- site VPN, and take advantage of full client access (join the domain) for Exchange email and ISA Server filtering. This seems like a simple request, using any of the currently available VPN routers (Linksys RV042 would be the starting point). However, the documentation I've reviewed indicates that it is essentially impossible to connect the standard IPSec tunnel mode VPN of one of these routers to the ISA Server. Is that true? If this is such a major problem, what are other solutions to the problem, short of the expense of installing a second Windows server, possibly with ISA server, in the branch office? Isn't there a better way for my small business customer? What about a router-to-router VPN connection that somehow still leaves ISA in-place and functioning in the main office?

[Translation if they are running as user mode are at WAY less risk.... see why we keep harping on this?] <MBSA will NOT scan for ALL affected software on this> Yes. MBSA does detect if the update for this vulnerability is required for Office XP, Office 2003, Project 2002, Project 2003, Visio 2002, and Visio 2003. However, MBSA does not currently support the detection of several of the programs that are listed in the Affected Software and Affected Components section of this security bulletin. For detailed information about the programs that MBSA currently does not detect, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 306460. If you have installed any of the programs that are listed in the Affected Software and Affected Components section of this security bulletin you may have to manually determine if you have to install the required update. For example, a Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 system that has installed Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 will need to install the Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 security update and MBSA will not detect the missing update in these configurations. Also, MBSA cannot use the Office Detection Tool to scan remote systems, it will only use this tool to scan a system locally for required security updates.

It's been a while since I've done this and wasn't quite sure where it was. But I looked pretty carefully through the Exchange management directory (found the POP3 virtual server) but no connector. Is it possible some SBS update or patch could have removed this? For that matter, I couldn't find the SMTP connect either. Any ideas?

    - OWA is meaningles outside the office. Hi everyone: The location https:\\myserver\exchange\anyuser is meaningless outside the office local network. Yes, I tested from home and it did not work. It works if I get access via my office VPN connection from home. However, we want it to work from any browser. Also this has become important because I have discovered that Exchange Server Web access is not working properly in the following way. If persons in the office send email, it is immediately visible remotely using Exchange Server Web access. However, if persons outside the office send me email, it does not appear in the in-box through Exchange Server Web access at all, until after I access my account using Outlook Express at home or Outlook at the office. . How can I make exchange to see email sent from external domains all together with people from our domain. We also use apollohosting to host our email/website services. If I go to the web mail account in apollohosting I only see the external emails, not the emails that are sent withing our domain. How can I solve these 2 problems. Can someone help me get to the bottom of these problem. Any help will be appreciated. thanks to all in advance, Denise Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164449

    - smtp services Hi all My fiiend's network has been operating for the past 2 years running sbs2k but have recently run into a problem with certain email services. It seems that since they went from a static to dynamic dsl that their ISP cannot accept incoming email to other snet.net accounts. Their contention is that we have to specify that we are using smtp.snet.yahoo.com My question is this: We have smtp services (virtual) running on the machine. Do we add this as a new service or are smtp connectors the answer? In KB 294736 and 265293 they refer to using smtp connectors but I don't know if that is the appropriate path here. All other email works fine.. we simply cannot send to anyone at snet.net Also, in KB 274638, there is a reference that if the external IP address changes, and the IP address for the smtp publishing rule has not been updated could cause mail to be not delivered.

    - Application requirement We have a client running an SBS2000 based network. They may upgrade to 2003 over the next 6 months or so, but this isn't the issue. The client wants every email that goes out of the company to be logged with some form of reference number and that a copy of all outgoing emails is held on the server. They don't want to rely in going into "sent items" for the particular user. The reason for this is that a lot of agreements are being sent out and they might need to refer to certain emails in the future in the event of legal proceedings etc Does anyone know of any software that does this?

I can't create manage users into groups and I had to recover (last known good) after dodgy reboots but it didn;t go back far enough to completely fix the problem. Can anyone suggest a way to repair this? Things started to go wrong when I tried to use NTFS permissions to prevent unauthorized access to a web subfolder. It worked, but when I tried to reset the permissions nothing happened (except that problem A suddenly appeared.) Help and suggestions much appreciated! Thanks, Rick Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164392

    - Backing up to hard disk - how large? Hi all, I would like to backup my SBS server to a fixed hard disk. How do I estimate how much capacity I need for this (i.e how large a hard disk)? Thanks for any advice. Pat Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164388

    - Roaming Profiles I am working for a client installing a new Windows Small Business Server 2003, and I am having some difficulty. My client has a Dell server, a Dell 16 port switch, and four client PCs each running Windows XP, as well as a Netgear ADSL modem/router/WAP device through which a connection is made to the internet. I have installed SBS on the server, and have started the configuration process. At the moment I am trying to get roaming profiles working. I believe that I have installed and configured everything correctly to this point. I have created four users on the server, as well as the four client PCs on the server. I have installed Windows XP on one of the client PCs. I have set the users up to have roaming profiles - on the server, I have set a path for the profiles to use. I believe that I have set the correct share and NTFS permissions for the directory where profiles are to be stored. When I attempt to logon to the client PC as one of the created users, I get two error messages relating to being unable to access the roaming profile on the server, and being unable to create a local profile on the client PC. I am, however, able to complete the logon process and can "see" the server from the client PC, whilst logged on as the user. When I change one of the users from being a roaming user to having a local profile, the user is able to log on correctly, with no errors, and the local profile is created without any errors. I am relatively new to administering Microsoft products having come from a UNIX background, but I believe that I understand the theory - it is the practice which is causing me problems. I have searched the internet for a solution to the problem, I have purchased the Microsoft Press "Windows Small Business Server 2003 Administrator's Companion" book, and I have searched the Microsoft web-site, but I cannot find the answer to my problem. I would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the correct direction. Yours, Simon May Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164381

    - Keep file server running if SBS 2000 box down I have tried this but when I switch of the SBS box things are not working. Being doing it after hours so maybe a bit tired....lol Flattened 2000 server (file server) and looking for some ideas before I attempt again. All workstations are XP. The idea is if there is a failure of SBS box, granted email and internet are down but working files are put onto file server so staff can continue to work. On paper the concept is straight forward but as my experiances have shown I am missing something. The biggest problem was getting validated on the Domain if a pc was switched off and the SBS box was switched off. Being XP they could logon to the pc but accessing the file server shares didn't work. Anyone actually got the scenario set up ? TIA Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164376

Remember -everyone's- issue is important to them, so que jumping won't enhance anyone's opinion of you within the newsgroup. Mentioning the SBS component, Exchange, ISA, SQL Server, RAS, Pop Connector etc.in the heading will be a big help in catching the eye of experts in that field. =================================================== - If posting a Question, post with sufficient information for a complete stranger to understand your SBS version, environment; your issue, what you have tried and what failed. 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. Note: Hotfixes are free of charge. Just ask for the specific Hotfix. =================================================== - It's difficult to convey human emotions on Usenet (Humour, Pathos, Sarcasm, Tongue-In-Cheek ) so use of emoticons and/or acronym tags is advised. .... and no; you -don't- have to be serious all the time. It's a community. Enjoy ! =================================================== - There are many paths to a solution and as many experiences in getting there as there are posters.

    - install printer on 98 os based workstation Today I want to add a network printer to a 98 os workstaion in SBS 2000 domain. The printer i choose to connect to is a device to another workstation running 2000 pro who worked as a printer server in SBS 2000 domain. I did the same thing for a 2000 pro workstation, it was done smoothly, but when i try to do this for a 98 os workstation, it prompted me insert a 98 2nd os CD. I do not have the 98 os CD at hand. I guess the problem is that 98 os need a appropriate printer driver. Can anyone help. Thanks Tag: VPN to SBS with an apple mac client Tag: 164367

Anyone used an apple mac to connect to SBS 2000 via VPN using Mac OS 10.3 ?
I have a client who can get in into the server but cant browse the network
drives such as
\\servername\company or \\severname\exchange
the client can browse using virtual Win XP PC on the mac but would rather
use OS 10.3
cheers, David
