    - Need help deploying software via Group Policy Management We are trying to roll out the Office 2007 compatibility pack company wide. We are using the group policy manager to do so, and are assigning it by computer rather than user. On out test computers the program is installing successfullly, but it looks like its doing it even if it was manually installed beforehand. Thats not the big issue though. The big problem is this- Computer A and computer B both get tossed in the group and on their next reboot they both install the desired software. Then on computer A the program gets removed for some reason. Next time it is restarted and logged into it does not reinstall the software. Why? It is still in the same group as before. We thought maybe if we gave it a day it would reinstall, but no such luck. Thanks for the help. Tag: External File Access Tag: 394042

    - Setup Routing on SBS for I/net as well as for access to L-o-B web- Dear All, Can anyone help me with the following issue: At one of my Customer location, we had setup SBS 2003 R2 Prem. as the Main & only Server. As the customers wants the access of the server from outside. We had configure RASS with a Static Public IP on the external LAN Card connected to a DSL Router (Router configured in Bridge Mode to ISP's Internet) and a 192.168.0.1 Static IP on the Internal LAN Card. DHCP is also configured on the SBS Box. Internet Access on Server is fine. Server is accessible through RDP outside the premises over Internet. Current Scenario -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Currently my Customer is having about 10~15 client computers. 2. My Customer business is related to telecom, so all his client computers are supposed to access certain L-o-B web-apps, of which access is provided, by the, parent telecom company. All these L-o-B web-apps are (in a way) intranet website of the parent telecom company. 3. To access these L-o-B web-apps, all client computers are configured with a Static IP from the parent telecom company. 4. Connectivity to access Static IP = They have another DSL Line from the same parent telecom company, on which Internet access is blocked, but Intranet access is available. This DSL line is terminated into a DSL Router. The DSL Router is connected to a Switch (Semi-Managed, but currently being used as an unmanged switch only, as no services are configured) and all client computer are also connected to this Switch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, the prob. is as under: We have to configure the SBS Server to route both: 1. The Internet Access & 2. The Access to the L-o-B Web-apps We want to get away with the static IP's provided by the parent telecom company as managing them in a workgroup environment is becoming too much a prob. And at the same time we would like to move to DC environment for better usage & control of the resources and environment. I'm having the prob., as to how to route the traffic of the client machines once connected to SBS Server via. switch to access the L-o-B web-apps of the parent telecom company? Please help! Any guidance is this regard will be of great help. Thanks, Warm Regards, Tag: External File Access Tag: 394031

    - New Exchange domain The company has sold and has a new name (therefore new domain.com). I know I can't change the domain without a reinstall. That is not necessary in this case anyway. How do I change the Exchange email from david@abc.com to david@xyz.com? What happens to all the old mail in the old stores? Can they be moved? Thanks, David Tag: External File Access Tag: 394027

    - activesync over air error 0x85010001 setting up 1st mobile phone version 6, activesync 4.5? first of all, i set up my iphone with imap and it is ok. we have a purchased ssl cert. phone refueses to sync, reports 85010001. it does not ask me to re-enter the user credentials, so that's probably correct. eventvwr: Unexpected Exchange mailbox Server error: Server: [server-name.DOMAIN.local] User: [user@website.com] HTTP status code: [400].

    - Fax Server on SBS 2003 We bought an 8 port fax modem and it all works well for all client OS except Vista SP1. We have a few Vista machines but it never installs the network fax printer off of the SBS 2003 server? IS there a workaround to do this? I am assuming that Windows 2003 OS does not have the appropriate drivers for the Vista Network printer - is this correct or logical assumption? What would be the workaround? thanks.

    - Anyone using AVG8 on their SBS box? Need some advise on which While I wait for Grisoft to get back to me, I figured I'd get a faster answer here. Going to eval AVG8 since I've been using the free AVG for a few years and am happy with it. They have a version for "file servers" AND a version for "email servers", but what I have is both. My server is for file/print and email. Will the "email servers" version do both? What I'm hoping for is a single product that protects the server, gives me workstation software AND email scanning capabilities. Hopefully AVG does this in 1 product otherwise I'll have to keep searching. I think I evalled another product that worked that way. Thanks, Roveer Tag: External File Access Tag: 394000

    - Email Integration options? Moving users from pop3 Outlook express to I'm getting ready to move my users (a whopping 4) from their old environment of Outlook Express & pop3 to our SBS box with Exchange. I need to deal with their old pop3 mail as they will want to retain it and in one case (company owner) who has an extensive mailbox of messages all tucked in folders on the sent and received side. No way to get him to get rid of it. I noticed while testing that my Outlook client noticed a OE account and offered to import it. What options are available to me? I guess I could import their pop3 accounts into outlook and that would give them access to their old mail? Does it put it locally, or into the exchange store? Are there any other options that I should be considering? Any good links on email integration/upgrade I should be looking at? Thanks, Roveer Tag: External File Access Tag: 393972

    - My documents redirection error - Old server still trying to sync Hi, I've redirected to another server than the SBS 2003 box. Files have been moved as they should everything seems to be working fine except for one client that keeps popping up about computers being offline. The computer in question is the SBS 2003 that is no longer storing the My documents for our employees. Any ideas on how to stop this error? If I go to my explorer and choose Tools-Synchronize I only see the new server as I should. I guess that it's a registry error of some kind. Kim Tag: External File Access Tag: 393962

    - Problems with RWW and WSUS Running SBS 2003 Premium, Exchange 2003, SQL 2000, ISA 2004, WSUS 3.0, WSS 3.0, 2-NIC's. ============== Been chasing my tail the last week or so trying to get WSS, company web and WSUS to all work at the same time. Still no luck so I thought I'd put out the details and see if anyone has ideas that I can use to fix them. WSUS - clients not reporting in. I got my PC in once I used dcomcnfg. Haven't tried it yet on the other computers or servers. WSUS is retrieving updates and notifying me - console works well. I suspect a setup/permissions problem that bis related to the RWW problem. I can access http://companyweb and http://<servername> fine (WSS 2.0 and WSS 3.0, respectively) fine. Server Usage Report is not viewable; I get "Server Error in '/Monitoring' Application". http://<servername>/remote and http://<servername>/exchange both result in HTTP 404 errors. Nothing in Event Logs. ISA 2004 BPA - no errors.

    - I did not install "fax service" on fresh SBS install but now I want When I built my SBS box I elected to NOT install fax services. In hindsight I think this was a mistake since it has been requested. First let me ask the question. If fax service was installed and running on SBS can my users FAX from Exchange? What has been requested is that when sending an email some recipients don't have email and do have fax machines. My users would like to address email and fax users when composing an email and thus have the fax only users receive this email via their fax machines. Does the SBS fax service allow this capability? If it does, Is there a way to go about installing fax services into an already existing SBS install, and if so, how would I do this. Thanks, Roveer Tag: External File Access Tag: 393944

    - Outlook 2003 We have a SBS 2003 server standard edition, one NIC with exchange and external router, 40 users. This network has been running perfectly until last week. One user has issues sending emails via Micorosft Outlook 2003 to certain users in their contact address book. The emails will show up under the sent items folder but they never arrive at the recipient, no non deliver report or errors are generated. Emails do not show up under exchange server mail queue. Only 3-4 people are effected with this issue, emails are sent and received by everyone else. I have removed the addresses that are causing this problem then re-entered them, re-installed outlook, repaired the inbox, checked the email quotas but to no avail.

    - Getting Administrator access to roaming profile folders, need some I've set up Roaming profiles but can't access the folders from my administrator account. I read a post that says I have to do the following: 5. If you want the administrators group to automatically have permissions to the profiles folders, you'll need to make the appropriate change in group policy. Look in computer configuration/administrative templates/system/logon - there's an option to add administrators group to the roaming profiles permissions. Where exactly do I find this? I'm a bit new to SBS and policies so I'm not quite sure where to find it. Please be specific. Thanks, Roveer Tag: External File Access Tag: 393922

    - Sharepoint companyweb alert issues We are using Sharepoint 2.0 for document and vacation calendar sharing. Recently we've promoted the DC from an SBS box to a Windows Server 03 Stnd box but have kept Sharepoint on the SBS server. I am trying to configure the alerts to send from companyweb.domain.local, they do reach the intended recipients but the links within the alerts point to companyweb.com directing them out to the internet, not back to the SBS server. My account works properly but I am setup as an admin on on the SBS server - not sure if that matters, all users alerts are set the same. Any suggestions?

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://support.microsoft.com. Userenv / Event ID: 1030 Description: Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. A message that describes the reason for this was previously logged by the policy engine. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://support.microsoft.com. A reboot seems to fix it temporarily. I've followed the link on one of the events and it gave me a procedure on making sure the domain name was correct in the registry, it was. The server hangs up connections maybe twice a day. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks, George Tag: External File Access Tag: 393910

    - nOOb question --- Can I get my browser to use port other than 80 to I'm not a technical guy, but I always curious about technology. I read a lot, from many online sources, but as a non-technical guy, there are things that get me very confused. I guess I am not smart at all. For example, I know that the Web Browsers, be it Internet Explorer or FireFox or Safari, all use port 80 for web browsing. I guess part of the reason they do that is because it's the common standard, and part (as I read the materials from many online sources) is because of security. But I still want to know, as a user, can I change my browser so that I'd use, let's say, port 3863, to browse, instead of the default port 80? (That is assuming port 3863 isn't reserved for any other purposes.) If the answer to the above is a "Yes", then I would like to know further. Such as -- Let's say I change my browser so that it uses port 3863 instead of port 80. Can I still successfully uses it to browse websites as usual? But before that, how to make my browser, - let's say I am using Internet Explorer, version 7, - how to get IE7 to use port 3863 instead of port 80, for browsing purposes? Would changing from port 80 to port 3863 poses any security risk? Is there anywhere online that I can get more information regarding questions such as these? I've tried to find the answer. Unfortunately, most of the sites assume that their visitors are already technicaly savvy, unfortunately for a dumb person like me, the more I read their articles, the more blur I get. I think what I mean is, is there any down_to_earth place online that give dimwits such as yours truly a very basic idea of what is a port, how to change port, how to forward port, how to change browser configuration, et cetera .... If you happen to know of such places, would you kindly share it with this dumb fella, will ya, please? Thank you !! Tag: External File Access Tag: 393876

    - SMTP Queues "hang" intermittently I have a problem at one of my accounts that has me stumped. Occasionally (and recently more oftent) SMTP queues for a particular receiving domain will just hang. And they will stay that way for days and more. Sometimes stopping/starting the information store will clear one or more of them, but perhaps not all. Sometimes running eseutil might free things up. But there doesn't seem to be any consistency. One day, each time I stopped/started the exchange services, a queue would clear. But then I had to do it again until another one cleared. Once they are all cleared, they might run fine for a good while; but then it happens again. This is really frustrating for me and even more so for my client. I can see nothing in the event log that might indicate what is happening. I have SMTP logging turned on but not really sure what to look for there to see what might be causing this. When it happens it is not all email. Some domains go through just fine. But when the queue for a domain gets stuck, all email for that queue is stuck. Please; is this something that there is a know reason for and is there a fix. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. BobS Tag: External File Access Tag: 393866

    - WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Our templog.ldf file in the MSSQL$WSUS folder is getting to 10GB. It has grown about 6GB in the last week. I have tried reading up on shrinking the file with DBCC SHRINKFILE, but I haven't gotten that to work. I backed up the templog file last week, then tried the SHRINKFILE this week and it wasn't recognized as a command. In another forum someone said I needed to change from Full to Simple Recovery and I think I have done that from the Command Line. I have moved all of the downloaded updates to another drive and now the clients can't find them. I thought I did it as I was supposed to. But that's a secondary problem until I get the templog reduced. We have less than 2GB of free space on that drive. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks.

We installed SharePoint 3.0 side-by-side with SP 2.0, no problem during installation, we followed the MS instructions for SP 3.0 on SBS 2003. Everything works fine internally. We like SP 3.0, which we find a great improvement over SP 2.0. So far so good. The trouble is with external access, which we find incredibly complex to set up and so far does not work. Here is what we did : - Under SP 3.0 Central Administration/Operations/Alternate Access Mappings/Public Zone URLs, we have 1) under Â«default Â» the internal url ; 2) under Â« internet Â» https://ip-address:portnumber, where the port number was the one allocated to the site during the initial set up of the intranet following the MS intructions (ie "25364") and the ip-address is our static external address (also used to access RWW without difficulty, for example). - Under IIS, we found the SP 3.0 web site created during setup, but with no Certificate, which we then added (we used the existing cert also used for RWW), and specified a SSL port different from the TCP one (which is the above 25364, so that the SSL is, for example, 8000). I think that I donâ??t really understand how the SSL port works and what it is for, so I suspect that I am doing something wrong here. - In the Sonicwall, we opened both the 25364 and the 8000 ports After trying different combinations of the above (for example : no specification of the SSL portâ?¦ ?), the SP 3.0 site still does not work externally. What I am doing wrong or missing ? Thanks for your help Charles Tag: External File Access Tag: 393775

    - exchange distribution group question Hi All, Hope everybody had a great weekend! I'm running SBS 2003 R2 w/exchange. Regarding distribution groups: Can you create them using public emaill addresses? In other words, I want to create a DL that contains outside recipients instead of SBS users as members. Any help on this would be really appreciated. -mike Tag: External File Access Tag: 393746

    - Computers Return from the Dead Hi, In my recent Extended Server Usage Report, under the Web Activity by Computer section, I see two computers that are no longer on the domain, (they don't even exist any more!), AND they seem to have 24hr/day web activity. I checked with Manage Computers on the SBS machine (standard version, 2003) and confirmed that these two machines are not on the network. How then does the server usage report still show them, and show them as being active? Thanks, - Pasta Tag: External File Access Tag: 393733

    - Companyweb Missing After SP1 Upgrade I have an account with SBS2003 Premium, ISA installed, but no SQL Server. After their SP1 update, the company web page no longer appears. When you open a web browser, you get an error "Cannot connect to the configuration database" and reference to KB 823287. I followed method 1 from that article. The service MSSQL$SHAREPOINT was not running so I started it. Problem still exists. I followed method 2 and verified that IIS is not running in isolation mode. I tried to follow method 3, and this is where the wheels fell off. Step 1 of the second half of Method 3 say to run the Enterprise Manger for SQL Server. This server doesn't have SQL Server installed, how do I do this? Any suggestions on how to get their companyweb page back? Thanks, Bernie Tag: External File Access Tag: 393728

    - Trojan & ADEBOT - Dell Vista SP1 XPS420 infected by ADEBOT... Trend installed but didn't prevent infection. Not to pick on Trend, however, perhaps to alert everyone to this. Where does this crapware come from? Read on... ================================================================= Have a customer who's computer got infected with the following and it was a little nasty to pry it's claws off the computer; I finally located a fix using Google and that seems to have worked. The only thing is, the customer had Trend Micro Internet Security installed and it was up to date and they tell me they weren't surfing on bad sites. they did receive a disc with some pictures on it. Regardless the A/V should have cleaned any crapware. Makes me wonder where the infection came from. Makes me wonder about the usefulness and EFFECTIVENESS of the three year program that they bought along with their Dell. According to the following chart they should have been protected. Here's what they had. according to Trend.

    - SBS 2003 Transition Pack and Registry Key Removal I'm about to perform a Transition Pack install on my SBS 2003 Premium server. I have read all of the notes and I did verify the pre-tasks. My SBS server registry does have the SmallBusiness key, which I will delete. I do have the SmallBusinessServer key, which I understand is okay. However, I also have a SmallBusinessServer2000 key as this SBS server was upgraded years back from SBS 2000 Premium to SBS 2003 Premium. Is this key okay to leave alone? It appears to have all of the information related to SBS like company name and address. Thanks. Ken Tag: External File Access Tag: 393711

    - IP Network Translator is missing in Device Manager Hello All, Hopefully I have come to the right area for this question. I have been setting up Small Business Server 2003 R2 (updated to the max). I had some issues with network Communications and an article I came across suggested to disable the IP Network Translator from the Device Manager's non plug and play devices. Since then, have been unable to even see it in the device manager since. Is there a way to re-install the IP Network Translator to device manager? I have compared registries from another 2003 based server and there are references to IpNat.sys, and the file is still on the SBS server in the system32\DRIVERS\ directory. Thanks for any ideas given in advance. Tag: External File Access Tag: 393692

    - SBS 2003 Software Raid Mirror - Replacing higher capacity disks. Hello, we've got a server with two 160GB disks running a Windows-based software RAID mirror across them. The disks are at capacity, and we'd like to replace the drives with two higher capacity units. With previous raid controllers, we were able to break the mirror, install a higher-capacity drive, rebuild the mirror, and repeat for the remaining drive, subsequently adding a new partition. My question is if this will work with the Windows 2003 SBS software RAID or do we need to look at imaging the drive? Other posts I've located on this forum are somewhat contradictory on this particular topic. Tag: External File Access Tag: 393689

    - POP3 connector not working SBS2003 Prem Hi POP3 connector not retrieveing mail. I don't know what has changed but this setup was working great prior to this week. i'm receiveing the following error message in event viewer application The error is 10060 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. I have tried to telnet mail.domain 110 to see if connectivity to the mail server is there. It timed out. But....... I tried a different telnet.domain2 110 that i also host elsewhere from this server. It succeded. So this tells me firewalls are ok I then tried from a different server the first telnet mail.domain 110. This succeded, so the mail server ok, just to be sure i set up a client and downloaded the mail no probs. I have tried tracert to mail.domain resolves no problem. All i can figure something is wrong with the domain name somewhere. or traffic is not making it back to the server. Ps server is sitting on static ip, dmz. If you can help it would be much appriciated. Regards JJO Tag: External File Access Tag: 393687

    - DNS to use when ISP's dns is down? So, I got the idea that it would be great to program a third DNS into our firewall so that when our ISP's dns's go down, we can still get to the internet. Does anyone have a recommendation. I guess my main concern is that it will be slow. It would be nice if it were: .open to use (some dns server are blocked if you aren't on the ISP's net) .highly available (few outages) .Good response (no lags in query returns.) Anyone thought of this or tried this before? Any wisdom? Thanks! Joe. Tag: External File Access Tag: 393686

    - OT: for Vamsoft ORF users Hello! I posted this message on the Vamsoft ORF newsgroup as well as here, since several people have mentioned being ORF users. I just bought a WatchGuard X Core e-series X550e firewall http://www.watchguard.com/products/compare_results.asp?p1=x550e that has spam-filtering capability http://www.watchguard.com/products/spamblocker.asp and I want to know if it will interfere with ORF or not. Has anyone out there used ORF in conjunction with a firewall that filters spam, preferably a WatchGuard unit? Would it be considered an intermediate host? Thank you!

I have a SBS 2003 server & I would like to give access to files to external
users who are clients not SBS users.
Each client would have there own store folder and needs to be secure
Would seperate FTP server be the best or is there something im missing?

A separate FTP Server would be good. Buffalo Technologies makes an
inexpensive NAS Linkstation device that you can secure within its own
workgroup and allow FTP access.

Not only best but essential. Users of the SBS FTP server need to have
SBS accounts and CALs.

And you don't use FTP if it needs to be secure, as that encrypts neither
user credentials nor data. Filezilla is generally recommended here.

The machine should also not be part of your LAN, but in a firewall DMZ
or at least between the router and a 2-NIC SBS. Any method of uploading
files to your network should be treated with great caution.
