    - Server Usage Report - Email Data not available Our Server Usage Reports have stopped providing the 'E-mail Sent' & 'E-mail Received' Data. Each of these portions of the report indicated 'There is no data available for this statistic'. I have read a couple of other posts which included steps such as recreating the report & rerunning ceicw. However, none of these items have helped. Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395223

    - I have screwed up Exchange and need some help please I'm not scared to admit it either. So I was having two problems: VPN users accessing companyweb and I wanted to setup PHP for my IIS install. I installed IIS after grabbing the files referenced at www.iis.net/php and restarted IIS. Then, I tried restarting IIS again later today to see if there was something wrong with companyweb that my VPN users couldn't get to it. I can internally, but it's veerryyy ssslllooowww. Apparently I have done something at some point that has my IIS confused as hell. When I open http://<server-name>/exchange in Internet Explorer, I get a directory listing of all my Exchange users names. This is not what it was doing yesterday. Yesterday (and obviously before) it would show the Outlook Web Access if I went to http://<server-name>/exchange, after prompting for credentials of course. I don't recall that I made any particular changes to my Exchange directory, but now my Windows Mobile 6 phone won't sync to the server either. In addition, if I try to connect to https://<server-name>/oma/ (and it seems to accept my credentials) I get: The website declined to show this webpage HTTP 403 Most likely causes: This website requires you to log in. What you can try: Go back to the previous page. so I think I totally hosed something here, and I don't have a clue what it was. Any help? Those are all of the pertinent details I can think of, but maybe if you have a question you'll jog my memory of something else that I might have done at some point down the line. I know I need to get the Exchange ActiveSync back up and running, as the boss and salespeople rely on this. Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395220

    - Evaluation version to full version for SBS Hi, I have installed an evaluation version of Windows small business server 2003 premium edition along with the SQL server database that came along with it. I have a application running on it. It uses .Net with sql server 2005 as its backend. Is there a way I can convert the evaluation version to full version without affecting the application?

    - System Administrator Undeliverable emails I keep getting these emails. Sometimes it comes in groups of about 40 to 50. Norton Corporate Edition is installed on my server and clients and my virus definitions are up to date. I have scanned and found nothing. I also have Symantec Mail Security for MS Exchange installed on my SBS server. Called Symantec and they say someone has my email address and is using it, but there is nothing I can do about it. Sure there has got to be someway to stop all of these messages. There is about 25 employees here and about 6 have already had this problem. I have Spy Sweeper installed on my desktop and it could not find anything also. Any ideas would help. Thanks, Allen Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395216

    - Setting NTFS permissions Correctly Hi All, I 'm having NTFS permission issues. I'm trying to lock down a folder on a shared drive so that only one person will have access to it. However, when I try to remove the domain users group, I get a notice pop-up saying something about 'child objects' and 'inheriting'. There must be a standard way of doing this, especially in SBS. Any help or advise would be really appreciated. -mike Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395211

    - Quick Swing Migration question 2003 > 2003 R2 I did a swing once several years ago and don't remember exactly how it went. And I can't get into my swingmigration.com account because I forgot the password, and the email address I used at the time no longer exists so I am waiting for my account to be updated with my new email address... anyway. I have a client who is currently on SBS 2003 and is planning on replacing the hardware and running the transition pack to standard versions of the server apps. The transition pack is for R2 so our plan is to swing the current SBS to the new hardware upgarde to SBS R2 and then transtition from there. Can I save a step and swing directly from SBS2003 to SBS2003 R2? that is use the SBS 2003 R2 media to build the TempDC and the final new DC? It would seem possible to me since the R2 technologies are a separate disc and would be run at the end of SBS setup - am I right? Thanks for the help. Tony Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395208

    - Static IP My client has a SBS 2003 server. Everything seems to be working correctly except the static IP. I have the IP set to 192.168.123.166. The IP address does not change, but when i look at the IP settings, they are set for dynamic. I connect a second NIC with the same results. The server is fully patched and has the latest drives.

    - Exchange maintenance after loading/deleting messages. I've been working with my SBS server in a test environment and have been experimenting with the migration of email from my OE clients. On several occasions I removed from exchange all of the messages and then re-established them with the outlook client. This has caused my exchange db to grow. I guess I'm concerned that I should run some manual maintenance before putting this into production to make sure exchange is healthy, OR is there regular maintenance that is taking care of this? If so, can I look at the maintenance logs to make sure everything is all right? My experiments have been with 2GB's of mail each time and my present priv1.edb is 3.4GB. I've read a few posts about whether or not to run manual maintenance and it seems there are 2 camps on this. I don't want to over do it, but I also want a healthy system. Advice.

    - Blackberry vs Windows Mobile This is more of a general question. I have configured Windows Mobile 6 phones and it's quite easy with SBS 2003. Can I sync any/all folders I want including calendars and contacts? I want to do this syncing "over the air" via Verizon. 1. Can Blackberry sync all of the same things that a Windows Mobile can? 2. Is there anything special I have to do. 3. More importantly, any instructions on how to set up a Blackberry to work with my SBS 2003 with the least amount of trouble (and hopefully not additional server piece).

    - Netopia 3347NWG with Remote Desktop and Remote Web Workplace I currently have a Netopia 3347NWG, using PPOE to connect to Deltacom (a local DSL), which is connected to the WAN Ethernet Adapter of an SBS 2003 Premium R1 (ISA not installed). The LAN Ethernet Adapter (of the SBS) is set to 192.168.16.2 and is connected to a switch into which is connected the rest of the office network. IP passthrough is enabled in the Netopia's Expert - Configuration section to User Configured PC, and the WAN Ethernet Adapter has the static IP address (72.xxx.xxx.xxx). Despite that, external ping and RWW and RDP will not work. Internally, I can use Remote Desktop from a workstation to access the server (via Remote Desktop Connection). I can also ping the server, on either the WAN or LAN adapter. If I try to access RWW from the workstation via https://sbs2003/Remote, I get "Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage". If I try to access RWW from a workstation in the LAN via https://192.168.16.2/Remote, I get "There is a problem with this website's security certificate", and if I then click "Continue to this website (not recommended)", I get "The page cannot be found" (HTTP error 404). In IIS Admin, Default Website is running and can be browsed; companyweb also is running and can be browsed. Remote Access directly into the Netopia setup works, via http://72.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080. Obviously, this needs to be changed, but prior message strings refer to configuration settings which do not seem to be present on this Netopia model. There is a telnet access available to this Netopia, from a local workstation, which seems to provide a lot more options -- with little helpful instruction. The userguide for the 3300 series models refers to nice menus appearing in the telnet session, but all I see are line-by-line responses. Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395174

    - Restoring OEM SBS 2003 to different hardware after catrastrophe We are developing / testing our disaster recovery processes and are using Acronis True Image with the Universal Restore option. However, I'm pretty clueless about MS licensing... If our SBS 2003 domain controller dies ... we have an Acronis image that we can restore to a different piece of hardware using the Universal Restore option (bare-metal to different hardware). 1. How does MS licensing impact this scenario? 2. Will we be allowed to activate the OS on the new hardware platform since it is an OEM version? 3. Would this be any different if it were Windows Server 2003 instead of SBS ? (we have that scenario also) 4. Is there a way to upgrade our OEM SBS 2003 to a non-OEM version that can e transfered via a disaster restore? Finally, in order to even test out our disaster recovery plan, we would need to activate Windows Server on the new (different) hardware platform for a short period of time to validate that everything works. ...How are other companies working through this same disaster recovery scenario with MS licensing?

I have 2 ESATA external 500GB hard drives that I back up to and rotate weekly. When NTbackup runs I get an alert that the disk drive is low on disk space and the back up fails. It is acting like NTbackup cache localy to the C: partition and then transfers the back up it to the external drive? and is there a way to fix this so I dont keep getting this low disk space error.

    - Full restore won't work. Help! I'll try to keep this succinct. I'm no SBS or server expert but I've set up a SBS Std server for my small office of about 15 PCs and kept it running fairly well for the past four years. This weekend I found it wouldn't boot with the error "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \system32\NTOSKRNL.exe" After researching and trying to repair from CD and checking the boot.ini file, chkdsk said there were unrecoverable errors. I do regular full backups to an external drive so I slapped a new hard drive in the tower and did a fresh OS install, then followed the instructions I found on restoring from a backup. After many hours it completed and went to reboot, where I got the message "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk." I tried again with another hard drive, then from an older backup file. Same problem each time. Then I saw in another post that I needed to get the fresh OS up to the SP2 level I had before so I tried that and still have the same error at boot. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. I need to either 1) repair the failed restore state I have. 2) figure out why my restores don't work and do it correctly. or 3) reinstall a fresh OS and migrate my user accounts, email, sharepoint, etc from backup data. All of which, I've never done before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dave Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395154

    - installing a wireless router at work Dear Forumers, I would like to install a (wireless) router between the internet plug on the wall and my PC at work. Ordinarily, my machine is connected to the internet through the company internal network. I would like to set up a router because I could plug a second machine to the router and access the internet from that second machine, and maybe use a handheld device. So I set up a router between my PC and the internet plug on the wall. For some reason, I then could not access the internet at all from my first machine. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? How hard is it to do what I am trying to do? Should I contact my company's tech guys? I greatly appreciate your help. Cheers everyone! Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395078

    - Need help using msiexec.exe I think I found a way to fix my "hang" problem during setup, but I need to install Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable to do it. Situation: I am in "forced" Setup mode and am at the point where my server "hangs" at the 12-min left mark in "Registering Components". The problem, I think, is with the system not being able to find and use Visual C++2005 Redistributable. The problem is that because it's hung up, it won't recognize any drive letter expect C (I've tried cd\ and XCOPY - no luck), so my thought is to use msiexec.exe to auto- place the file (vsredist_x86.exe) into c:\Windows]WinSxS\ and then execute it. Conundrum: I've looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291(VS.80).aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372024(VS.85).aspx and don't really feel comfortable in putting them together to do what I want. Any code-wiz's out there who can tell me the syntax? And how to bundle it onto a CD-R with a low-budget burner like Sonic RecordNow? Many Thanks In Advance!!

    - Using SBS Premium's ISA for logging Internet usage Hi, All: I've been approached by Management with regard to "tracking" a given employee's Internet usage at work.

    - SBS2003 & 2008 TS Deployment, Just want to make sure it will work Hi I am planning a deployment of a SBS2003 server (unfortunately needs to occur soon so cannot wait for SBS2008 :( ). It will server files, exchange & SQL to total of 50 local & remote users. Also will be a Terminal Server box for 30 remote users (22 sites). I thought 2008 would be the best option here with the added TS functionality. Remote users will be served Outlook, an SQL Front end app & Office etc. A 2000/2000 link for TS/RWW connections will be provisioned with 512/512 clients ADSL 2+ for other main office traffic While most remote sites are static, there will be use from home connections etc so I was going to use RWW for all remote connections. With cost a big issue saving on deploying VPN hardware etc. However I have read that there are issues 2008 and SBS2003 through RWW. Firstly the 2008 TS does not show up as an application server in RWW, is there a work around for this? I would like to take advantage of the 'easy print' also, so if there is a work around to get the 2008 TS visible in RWW will RWW pass RDP 6.0? I guess the alternative is to use TS Gateway straight to the TS box using HTTPS, but that sidesteps the other RWW features. I'm not 100% sure yet but likely full Remote Desktop will be presented to the remote clients (restricted to only allowable apps) and will likely use RemoteApps to serve apps to the LAN clients. I guess I just wanted to find out what issues this config may present. I haven't found any papers outlining 2008 TS to SBS2003, I guess its all a bit to knew at the moment Thanks Dan Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 395070

    - Event ID 402 I received the above error on my SBS 2003 server which has Exchange 2003 on it. When I looked into the sessions on the default Smtp Virtual Server, I saw hundreds of sessions from my ISP server which is configured as a backup for my server. If my server is down, the ISP spools the messages and then sends them to my exchange server when it comes back up. I terminated all the sessions and rebooted the system and my external email is now coming through OK. But I see these same connections from the backup server showing up again. They do not terminate. It looks like a new connection is created every 20 minutes or so. I can manually terminate them so they don't clog up the server. Anyone know what's going on?

    - Complicated Exchange Question. Please Un-complicate Me. Hello Everyone, We're running SBS 2003 internally and we have several Internet domain names forwarded to 2 web sites being hosted by a web hosting company on our behalf. All employee email accounts are hosted at the aforementioned web hosting company's mail servers. All employees' email programs are configured to retrieve email and send mail using POP3/SMTP from the web hosting company's respective server addresses and ports. Can I setup Exchange as included with SBS 2003 for employees to have a shared calendar, shared address book, etc. without affecting the email addresses and domain names currently in use? Are there any caveats to doing this, especially considering most workstations are WinXP SP2 and one owner's laptop is Vista Business (Outlook 2K/2003 vs Windows Vista Mail)? Do we need to standardize and force everyone to run the same version of Outlook? Notes: It is a small (<10 employees) family-owned office with 2 members of the same family operating 2 different businesses with 2 different names, 2 different domain names (FQDNs), and 2 different email address name pools, but sharing 1 network, server, etc. That is one of the reasons why we decided to host Web sites and email off site.

    - Assign Computers to Users in RWW, Alias Names for Computers? Hello again Everyone, In RWW on SBS 2003, how do I assign (or limit) specific computers to certain users? For example, how do I limit a Secretary to being able to login to only her own desktop at work from home? All the desktop computers in this office are named sequentially, such as ABC01, ABC02, ABC03, etc. In AD and/or RWW, can I specify alias names or rename the computers to reflect which user's office/cubicle/workstation each computer is at? I want to do this or something like it to make it easier for the Owners/Managers/myself(IT) to identify each computer when logging in using RWW remotely. Is it possible, or do I just need to publish an alias list in hard copy and distribute it to the couple people who'll have the option of logging into various computers and/or servers?

    - Upgrade of SQL 2000 to 2005 I have read several posts on SQL upgrades but none that answer all my concerns. We run SBS 2003 SP2 (not R2) with SQL server 2000 SP4. A post I read said it is possible to upgrade to SQL 2005 standard. We have 2 vendor-supplied apps that run on SQL which are compatible with 2005 and can be reinstalled if needed. My main concerns are ISA Server 2004 and SBS Monitoring which both run on SQL Server DE. Will they migrate with the SQL 2005 upgrade? If not, how do I reinstall SBS Monitoring?

Exchange sends and receives and a remote RDC can connect. If a RDC is made and left running, the amount of time before loss of connection occurs can be extended for hours.

The IP Address for the SBS is 192.168.0.45 The IP Address for the Router is 192.168.0.1 The IP Address for the Modem is 192.168.0.100 The IP Address for the 1 Computer is 192.168.0.80 This is puzzling, and yet I know the answer is going to make me say "DUH".. Any help would be greatly appreciated... -- Jeremy Himmelreich Computer IT Manager http://home.comcast.net/~jeremy1982 http://www.willitshoe.com Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 394989

    - RWW Cant Download ActiveX Control? One of the employees here has a tablet PC running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 Version 2002. Everything worked fine, but yesterday he updated windows to SP3 and now, he cant use remote web workplace to connect to his desktop at work. On his computer, if i goto the server's IP address, login, and choose "Connect To Client Desktops" or even "Connect to Server Desktops", it goes to the other screen and shows the list of computers, but immediatly a window pops up and says this: "This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again." Here's the issue, absolutely EVERYTHING in the Security tab for the IE settings has been changed to either Enabled or Prompt.. Nothing at all is disabled! I did this for Internet and Local Intranet, and under the trusted sites ive added the http site and https sites for the server. And still... it doesnt work! Anyone know why?

    - Outlook 2007 fails to auot send/receive HI All, Not sure if I'm posting in the right group.... We are running SBS 2003 R2 w/exchange SP2. One of my users connects to exchange via Outlook 2007. For some reason, outlook will not auto send/receive upon connecting to thee xchange. The user has to manually hit "send/receive". This also occurs when sending new messages, the user has to hit "send/receive". in order for the message to go out. I've tweaked with the users outlook settings without effective results. None of the other users have this problem. Any help or direction would be most appreciated. Thanks so much in advance! -mike Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 394985

    - Intelligent Mess Filtering Question Can I ask you folks a question about the IMF guide? I'm just working my way thru it and in the section for createing the connection filtering rules, it asks for: " In the DNS Suffix of Provider box, type the DNS suffix that your provider appends to the IP address. " What do I put in there and how would I find it? Our provider does a store and forward for me and that's it ... it then goes in to my local exchange server.

    - Help! push mail down Yesterday I was doing an exercise in learing about web services, and put a test folder in IIS to house these files. the web service would not run, and after some research learned that this service would need .net 2.x. No problem, i install 2.x, then go to IIS and enable 2.x in the properties tab for this folder. Big Mistake! All web services go down, turns out I can't run 2 versions of .net in IIS. Ok, so i delete the test folder, uninstall 2.x, and reboot the server. Internal websites back up, remote web workplace back up, owa back up... but no push mail. Looking in IIS, i notice the asp.net tab is missing under properties. I decide to reregister .net with IIS: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -i -enable Rerun Internet and Email Config Wizard still no push mail! "error synchronizing" any ideas?!? Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 394972

    - Caching Warnings I do not like to make assumptions, so I thought I'd pose the question I am receiving the following Event Type: Warning Event Source: NtFrs Event Category: None Event ID: 13512 Date: 12/05/2008 Time: 9:24:02 PM User: N/A Computer: SERVER Description: The File Replication Service has detected an enabled disk write cache on the drive containing the directory c:\windows\ntfrs\jet on the computer IBM-SERVER2. The File Replication Service might not recover when power to the drive is interrupted and critical updates are lost. Event Type: Warning Event Source: NTDS General Event Category: Service Control Event ID: 1539 Date: 12/05/2008 Time: 9:22:29 PM User: N/A Computer: SERVER Description: The local domain controller could not disable the software-based disk write cache on the following hard disk. Hard disk: c: Data might be lost during system failures This logical drive contains two SCSI Mirrored drives, configured with Write Cache: Enabled (write-back) when protected by battery Read Cache: Enabled Is this just a case of disabling the cache gets rid of the message, but causes a downgrade in performance -- so simply just ignore the warning?

    - Print fails message I have a Windows XP SP3 client as a Domain Client for SBS SP2. When trying to print from the Small Business Server Share Network Printer I receive an onscreen message "print failed" and nothing is printed. Thinking it was a permission problem I shared the printer out as all users in Domain, also gave the user Printer Operator Rights. Same Problem. There is nothing that shows up in the Domain Event Errors or locally on the client Event Errors. Anyone have any ideas to try? Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 394957

    - WSUS is not running Before I began to manage this server someone manipulated settings for WSUS. When I attempt to run it says "not running because it turns off automatically if someone customizes WSUS. Looking at GPO settings I dont believe it was done there. Thoughts? I dont beleieve the person who did this would have known much more than to turn off at a very high level. Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 394955

    - Exchange 2003 - Management, Maintenance Questions Thanks to those that take the time to respond to this. Most of my experiences in Server world have been dealings with Windows 2003 Standard Ed. as a Terminal Services Server for Retail environment. This is my first real experience with Windows Small Business 2003 Std Edition (non-R2) and it's inter-connected components. Simply put, Exchange scares the heck out of me. I want to make sure I baby this to death - we know how important e-mail is to everyone. I have a series of questions: 1) Looking for a good, strong solution on backuping up Exchange. What is the difference between online/offline backups etc. A best practices guide type of document -- or book. 2) I'm not sure what the baseline is for Exchange. We have 53 mailboxese and my Store seems to consume 600MB to 800MB pre-SP2 Update. I'm monitoring now using TaskMgr to see what it is since SP2 upgrade. 3) SP2 - I have just had an experience adding SP2 - I followed a document that indicated adding CN=Content Filtering using adsiedit.msc. This basically did not allow store.exe to initialize. Once removed, all ran ok. How do I confirm SP2 is working as it should. What is involved in the IMF v.2.0 (features, how to setup and manage) 4) I have been trying to use the Exchange Best Practices Tool to diagnose and resolve any issues. The following is the output of the device. a) The space for the paging file (7000) is larger than the physical memory (4095). This may affect the system performance. It is recommended to have paging file size equal to the physical memory. Note: I increased the PF, as most MS resources suggest 1.5 x physical memory. I have set it to static. Will this truely be an issue? b) Automatic update for the Intelligent Message Filter is not enabled on server IBM-SERVER2. To improve the effectiveness of the filter, follow the instructions outlined in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 907747. c) The checkpoint file path for storage group 'First Storage Group' on server IBM-SERVER2 (C:\PROGRAM FILES\EXCHSRVR\MDBDATA) does not match the transaction log path (E:\EXCHANGEDATA). This issue can cause extended downtime when disk failures occur. Note: This did not appear when I ran it before installing SP2 d) Exchange fatal error information on server ibm-server2.ScotianGold.local is not automatically sent to Microsoft for analysis. It is recommended that you enable this feature through the Exchange System Manager. I assume, not really life threatening. e) The 'gatewayProxy' attribute for Recipient Update Service 'Recipient Update Service (Enterprise Configuration)' contains old data that was not fully processed. This data has existed since 2007-03-24T17:42:55Z and should be manually removed to avoid accidental changes to user addresses. Note: I have two of these messages. One for the Enterprise and one for the domain itself. I followed the instructions - but was not sure about deleting anything and what the results would be. Can someone please tell me what this means exactly. Regards, Chris Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 394951

    - exchange public folder certificate error Recently a sbs server has started to display a certificate error every time we try to display any public folder property in ESM. The error is : 'The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted. ID No:80090325 Exchange System manager' I've tried re-running the sbs internet connection wizard with no result. Also i've tried importing certificates into trusted root store using IE6. additionally i've tried unticking the 'use ssl' option for both exadmin and exchweb in IIS. All these have had no effect whatsoever. The server is running SBS 2003 with the latest service packs. Additionally the server has had certificate services installed onto it for some reason - but not sure if this is relevant. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what is wrong ?.

    - Event ID: 10016 // DCOM //NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE This is my second post to the group, and I appreciate all the support so far. I have tried to google, use MSKB and this site to find a solution before posting. I am receiving the following error in my event log, it seems since the installation of WSS 3.0 (side-by-side) with version 2.0. Event Type: Error Event Source: DCOM Event Category: None Event ID: 10016 Date: 13/05/2008 Time: 4:32:03 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE Computer: IBM-SERVER2 Description: The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1} to the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. This is what I have done so far: 1) Reviewed CLSID in Registry, LocalService is set to IISADMIN 2) Followed an article on line (silly me forgot to record #), this is the content of the article. Grant the correct permissions to the Network Service account To grant the correct permissions to the Network Service account, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type dcomcnfg in the Open box, and then click OK. 2. In Component Services, double-click Component Services, and then double-click Computers. 3. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 4. Click the COM Security tab. 5. In the Launch and Activation Permissions area, click Edit Default. 6. Click Add, type Network Service, and then click OK. 7. While Network Service is selected, click to select the Allow check boxes for the following items: â?¢ Local Launch â?¢ Remote Launch â?¢ Local Activation â?¢ Remote Activation Pressed OK twice. I have done a reboot of the service since, as I have also updated to Exchange SP2. Does anyone have a further suggestion ? Regards, Chris Tag: Frank - no reply by email Tag: 394935
