    - SBS 2003 - Move companyweb from one server to another Hi I could really do with some help on this one... We currently have our companies intranet running in Sharepoint on our SBS 2003 server (companyweb) I need to backup the whole of companyweb and move/restore it to a new SBS 2003 installation located on a different server in a new domain.. I've looked around the web for info, but I'm getting very lost in the suggested ways of doing it...., especially if you are restoring it to a new server with a different name/domain.... I don't know a lot about Sharepoint so we need to keep this simple.... I was wondering if there are any tools etc to do the job....?, or a dead simple "bullet proof" way of doing it...? Any help is very much appreciated Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400966

    - Server died best way of rejoining clients to new server Hi, my sbs server died a few days ago. I have just fininshed installing the new server and have kept the name / domain / IP address the same as the old. Whats the best way of joining the clients to the new server without losing their existing profiles ? I have taken backups of the local documents and also exported the exchange mail on the clients to pst files as a precaution. I had a scare early on today when I couldn't log into my machine, I finally traced this to the fact the new server was running and I hadn't added the accounts back to the server, obviously the clients could see the new server and this was getting in the way of the locally cached credentials, after turning off the new server the clients could log in again. Any tips welcome. thanks. Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400956

    - Outlook 2007 HTTP and SBS 2003 connection problem Hello, We have an issue where configuring RPC over HTTP works fine for Outlook 2003 clients but not for Outlook 2007 clients (all Windows XP Pro computers). The Outlook 2007 clients continually receive a login popup. We have tried setting the RPC registry value to 0 as well as logging in with the domain credentials (found on other newsgroups) with no success.

    - Vista, Outlook 2007 & Profiles Apologies if this is the wrong group for this post - if so, would appreciate advice re more appropriate group. Scenario is SBS 2003 Sp1 server with 5 users, 4 XP SP2 machines with Outlook 2003, and one user running Vista Business SP1 with Outlook 2007. The SBS box is fully patched and has the Vista updates. Since joining the Vista machine to the domain, each day the Server Event Logs have had Event Id 673 (Service Ticket Request) and Event ID 675 (Pre-Authentication) Errors from the Vista box. Have tried to research these and followed some advice but the errors remain. So, I decided to remove the Vista box from the domain, join a workgroup, create a new machine name, and bring it back to the domain using connectcomputer. In the past, this procedure has worked fine for XP. Did all that - errors seem to have gone - BUT: 1. The user wants her nicknames back 2. The user wants her favourites back 3. The user wants her photos back (They were in Vista's Photo gallery.) Question 1. What happened to her old domain profile??? (In XP we know where it is and we can recover the photos and the Outlook *.nk file. etc.) Question 2. This user has local admin rights on this machine but keeps getting ACCESS DENIED to some folders under her user name. What needs to be done to stop this annoying hurdle (We temporarily disabled the UAC.) Thanks for any and all enlightenment... Regards, Ex-Engineer (whose pseudonym will soon become MUD!)

    - Two domains in Exchange 2003 Hi, I am visiting the oft mentioned two domains in Exchange issue. I have added the second domain to the default recipient policy and enabled it. However, I was not able to receive email to the added domain until I went to the smtp virtual server and allowed the second domain to relay. If I do not do that the email addressed to that domain would be bounced back as undeliverable. Nothing I have read says I need to do this, but that is how is seems to be working. Is there something else I am missing? I do not like having this relay in place. Thanks for any help. Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400939

    - SBS 2003 Setup fails after choosing install paths I'm re-installing SBS 2003, and after it gets to the part where you choose components (Exchange, Fax, etc.) and tell it where you want to store the Users Shared Folders and other paths, I click "Next", and the Wizard disappears. There's no error or anything. If I try to "Continue" installing SBS 2003, it asks again for the company address, which components I want and the paths...and disappears again. It doesn't matter if I use the default paths or specify my own--it just fails. Rebooting hasn't helped, and I tried to re-install again, but now the install routine can't load "iastor.sys" from the floppy for the Intel-based RAID. (Stupid floppies!) So, if I get a new floppy disk, copy the RAID controller back and try installing again, does anyone have any idea why the Wizard would fail after choosing paths? I did notice that SBS downloaded about a dozed "updates" even before I got to this point--they're listed in "Add/Remove". I'm wondering if any of those could be conflicting with the Wizard. When I re-install this time, I won't allow the updates. Thanks. Steve Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400870

    - ISA Server Capabilities for Reporting Traffic? I have installed a few SBS 2003 R2 Premium setups and love the control of network/internet traffic via ISA Server. What I'm curious about is do I have the ability to log the internet traffic and produce some reports (even customized ones I can create) that can tell me more about internet usage, at a user level, such as times of traffic, what internet sites were hit, how long were users at that site? I have one client who wants do some monitoring of certain users to see if they are abusing their internet privledges.

    - Help with Client Disconnects I have an issue I have been trying to solve for the better part of about 4 months with a client. They have SBS 2003, SP2, Exchange SP2 all other windows updates applied. The machine had Symantec Endpoint Server on it but I removed it. The issue is that clients continue to experience disconnects, very short duration, just enough to bump them from the network and foul out the database connections to the server. Anyway I removed symantec MR2 SP1 because I was thinking this was causing the issue but it is still happening. Also, there was another DC on the network which was having replication issues so I demoted that DC now there is only the SBS box that is a DC on the network. That said I am spinning my wheels on what could be causing these disconnects, they are only for like 10 seconds but they still kick them from the database and its very annoying for them. The disconnects happen so fast that there is no way to really know if they are getting disconnected from just the local subnet or from the internet as well. There are about 15 clients all running XP and most of them are having this same issue. The clients are not getting disconnected when they are idle, they can be working in a database and all of a sudden the network drops off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Outlook license with SBS 2003 Hi all. Quick question. I have SBS 2003 SP1 (not R2). I know each SBS CAL also gives you a license for Outlook 2003. Question is, if I install Outlook on a client, can they use Outlook to access another Exchange server? Or do they have to use Outlook to connect to the SBS server? Also, if I were to remove the SBS server from my network, do I have to uninstall Outlook from my clients as well? Thanks! Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400861

    - SQL Reporting Services I'm running SQL Reporting Services 2005 on my SBS Premium 2003. I have it installed in the Default Website. It runs well except for one issue. After rendering a report, if you select the "Acrobat (PDF) File" format and click on "Export", it will come up with a File Download prompt to save the file, but it wants to name the file "Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd". This behaviour happens for all the reports. On other installations of Reporting Services on Windows Server 2003 the behaviour is that it the prompt will have the default of the name of the report with the pdf file extension (such as "MonthlySales.pdf"). This leads me to believe this is something unique to the settings on the SBS server. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

    - RWW slow to load for users Hello I have a customer who uses RWW to a great extent. However, he has noticed a problem with some of his users. When they initially connect it can take several minutes to display the menu screen. However, those users who have domain admin rights (for other reasons) get the menu displayed more quickly, despite being on the same machine / broadband link etc. Infact, in all my testing, it appears that they only difference is this group membership. Any ideas why this might be the case and if there is a resolution to it? Any help would be gratefully received. Lewis Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400843

    - 2008 Terminal Server not showing on RWW as Application Server Hi All, I have an SBS2003 Premium running on DELL 2950. I have added sufficient memory and installed MS Virtual Server followed by the installation of MS Windows Server 2008 and then installed the role of Terminal Server. I have installed MS Office and from the LAN using Remore Desktop it works fine. A problem I have is that when I run RWW from a remote client, there is no icon or option to select "Application Server" that was there for the Windows 2003 Terminal Server that I have used in previous organisations. Has anyone else tried this? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might get the RWW to recognise 2008 TS as an application server?

    - PC specific vpn issues Hello, I have 10 computers that CAN connect to my SBS 2003 pptp VPN. I have 1 user who cannot. He is running XP sp2. He gets 721 error. I can run pptpclnt / pptpsrv successfully from this client, so GRE is not the issue. (Dell server / 2 NICs; 1 NIC connected to local network; 1 NIC connected to public network. I have rerun CEICW, reinstalled RAS on the server. I have msconfiged and booted very clean on his PC (no AV, firewall, defender, etc) I tried connecting to another company's SBS vpn and have same issue. I can connect to vpn with his account on another computer. It fails with any account I try on his computer. So, it has to be computer specific. The fact the pptpclnt / pptpsrv succeeded really has me stumped. Any ideas?

    - Remote Wipee a WM6 Evening. I have been authorized to begin planning and deployment of Windows Mobile 6 devices to our field workers which will be using PDA/Mobile phones from Verizon Wireless (More specifically the Motorola Q). I have finished almost all my policy checks with the exception of Remote Wipe. I can't seem to find this anywhere on the server. How do we remote wipe a WM6 device in the field if it is lost? I saw on a SBS 2003 promo video an area on the server that looked like SharePoint Services 2.0. The problem is, we do not use SharePoint Services 2.0 (we use 3.0) and as such I removed SharePoint 2.0 early last year. Is there another way to wipe the WM6 device without the need to use SharePoint? Thanks for your help! Quilnux Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400772

    - EventID: 101, 103 + 108 (Software installation policy problems) They are all a variation of this: Software Installation failed due to the error listed below. The system cannot find the path specified. Additional information may have been logged. Review the Policy Events tab in the console or the application event log for events between 6/26/2008 1:56:18 PM and 6/26/2008 1:56:18 PM. In short, the only bit of software I have a policy install is the User Hive Cleanup tool. By the error given you'd think that the workstation couldn't get to the installer. However browsing via UNC gets me there with no qualms. So I figured maybe the network isn't 'ready' yet.. so I set a policy to 'wait for network'. This is the same machine that earlier in the week I posted about it's refusal to get GPO's from the server. Now that that got 'fixed' (by itself no less) this is the last of my current problems with it. FWIW I ran the .msi right from the same UNC path the policy holds and installed the Hive cleanup tool no problem. Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400759

    - Outlook over internet RPC not working Hi all. We have two laptops at a jobsite . One can connect with Outlook over the Internet and other one cannot. Both are joined to the SBS server at the main office, but obviously they are not connected to it at this time. they are at a jobsite trailer. I have double checked and triple checked all the settings compared to what SBS says in the REMOTE documentation about using RPC Outlook. One laptop connects fine, the other does not. I even logged in as a local user on the trouble laptop (instead of the domain user) and it didn't help. Outlook prompts for the username (domain\username) and password , sits there, then eventually says "Disconnected". Never says 'Connected' unless the laptop is on the LAN with the SBS server. I know it's not the SBS since I can connect to the troubled mailbox from here on a different computer. Just did it. And the other laptop in the same trailer on the same DSL connection works fine (with a different account of course). Where should I go for event log information to help me troubshoot this, or is there any other info I might need? Thank you for your help!!

    - Proliant ML350 G4 Server SBS 2003 & Server 2003 Console Freezes Hello All; We are running two Proliant ML350 G4 Servers. One server is running MS SBS 2003, the other is running MS Serve 2003 Std. Both are on the latest MS Service Packs. Sys Vol have 4 Gig or greater available on both systems. The data drives have greater than 50% space available. Both servers are runnng ADS and are the primary domain controllers. Both servers have been recently experiencing console freezes/ unresponsive. The servers can be pinged, RDP works, but when issuing Server Restart through RDP, server will not shut down. Have had to hard restart to get console to return. Have checked all Event Logs, etc. and cannot find an indicator as to the cause. This issue has been occuring more frequently after applying the most recent security packs to the servers. There are three others servers running MS Server 2003 (not ADS or PDC) the are not experiencing the same issues. Any thoughts as to the cause? -- SysAdmin Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400731

    - GPO Delegation "Apply Group Policy" deny for Domain admins does not I'm trying to diagnose a problem with my WSUS/WindowsUpdate GPO. So I go into delegation and tell it to Deny application for Domain Admins and I run gpupdate /force /boot and re-log in. However, all of those settings are still applied? If I disable the policy as a whole and gpupdate /force /boot then most of the settings change back to their default. The exception being that I had previously told the GPO to disallow going to windowsupdate.microsoft.com so that people can't manually patch their systems. However even upon disabling that GPO I cannot go to the WU site. All the other items (such as my automatic update preferences) have reverted back. At any rate, I guess that's a three part question: 1) Why why I deny this policy does it still apply where as Denying my IE7 GPO works as I think it should (ie the settings revert back). 2) Why can't I go to the WU site even with my GPO disabled? I ran RSOP and checked this particular policy and it is set to 'not defined'. 3) Why even after disabling the GPO itself can I not go to the WU site? It tells me a policy is set disabling it.

The problem is, since the change, if you try to run a iexplore shortcut (for example) from the QuickLaunch bar (effectively AppData folder), from the Desktop, or from MyDocs, you receive a permissions error: "C:\Program Files....iexplore.exe" "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item" This also happen regardless of what you try to execute within the above listed folders (shortcut, exe, etc). Shortcuts will run from the start menu however, despite the start menu folder sharing mirrored policy and permissions as the other 3 folders. I'm stumped, anyone know what I've done wrong?

    - SBS 2003 to SBS2003 R2, new hardware Hi All, I'm just about to move our SBS2003 Pre SP1 server to new hardware at the same time I'm going to upgrade to SBS 2003 R2. Out current server has very limited space about 1.5GB on the System drive and 2.5GB where exchange data files are installed. I'd prefer not to have to upgrade the SBS to SP1, but exchange is at SP2 already. Not having the same server name shouldn't cause us that much of a problem, we have around 70 users but most use OWA for mail. I've looked at the Swing migration docs and this seems harder than using the MS docs at this address: One other Domain controller (Global catalog). http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServerSolutions/SBS/en/library/a340742f-042e-48da-b865-5244bee1000f1033.mspx?mfr=true I have a couple of question about the above document, how much can be done online? Step 1. Evaluate the current status of the source server - Online, Users logging on and accessing Exchange - Yes Step 2. Install Windows SBS 2003 and join the domain - Online Transfer operations master roles - ? Guessing Yes (Our other server is a Global catalog so can handle logons). Step 3. Transfer Exchange Server 2003 settings and folders - ? - Guessing No Transfer mailboxes - ? Guessing No Step 4. Migrate shared folders and data folders - N/A - On different server Step 5. Install and Configure DHCP - N/A - On different server Step 6. Configure Windows SBS 2003 settings - Online Step 7. Migrate Internet Information Services (IIS) Web sites - N/A - Not needed Step 8. Install and migrate Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) - N/A - On different server - May move later Step 9. Migrate Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server settings - Basic Cache only, all users, just going to re-setup Step 10. Migrate SQL Server databases - N/A - Not used Step 11. Remove the source server from the network - Online Thanks in advance. Dom Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400714

    - SBS2003 NTbackup overwrite/delete problem I am having a problem backing up my SBS 2003 SP2 server to a Netgear NV+ NAS using NTBackup. I have NTBackup configured to save 3 copies of the .bkf file in the \\readynas\Server Name\Backup Files folder. The backups work fine until I have 3 backup files in the Backup Files folder and the 4th backup file has to overwrite the oldest file. At that time the backup will fail with a Event ID: 5634. Eventually the oldest backup file is deleted, but NTbackup has already aborted by then. A sample failed backup log appears at the bottom of this post. After doing some additional testing, I have confirmed that the my problem with oldest backup deletion by NTbackup is the amount of time required to delete a 82GB backup file from the NAS. Deleting one of these files from my server can take 2-3 minutes or longer. I think that due to this delay, NTbackup is aborting before the oldest backup is deleted. If the backup file size is smaller (42Gb for example), the oldest backup file is successfully deleted and the new backup completes successfully. How can I resolve this problem? Do I need to modify my Small Business Backup Script.bks (file contents below) file somehow? Any suggestions are appreciated. Small Business Backup Script.bks contents: SystemState C:\ D:\ JET BSERVER\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group\ Sample failed backup log: Backup Runner started.

    - Shared calendars with OWA issues Hi, I have problems viewing 1 users shared calendar with OWA. All others appear fine, and if I use Outlook I can view this calendar. I am using outlook to set the share permissions (you have to, can't do it with OWA) I am using this method to view the shared calendar with OWA, log into OWA, and then add /username/calendar to the url. This method seems to work properly for all users except for 1, and of course this is really the only user we need to have her calendar shared. (Murphy's law, and I am not exempt!) When we try this method for this user, we get a "The Page cannot be found" 404 page, that appears to be generated by IIS. I know this is a clue, but can't find the culprit. Further testing shows me that a user using this method that does not have permission to view the calendar gets the login screen and not the error page. We are using sbs2003 standard, and outlook 2003 that comes with it. We would love to make this work with OWA, so I can set this calendar up as a shortcut from bosses desktop.

    - Open Relay Issues with SBS 2003 I'm running SBS 2003 Standard with SP2. All of a sudden my server is starting to get blacklisted due to open relay issues. Nothing has changed, however. I have verified the relay restrictions on the Default SMTP Virtual Server and they're the standard settings that are usually on an SBS server following the use of the Internet Connection Wizard. The granted IPs are 127.0.0.1, 192.168.16.2 (255.255.255.0) and my external LAN NIC, which is a valid IP address. The "Allow all computers which successfully..." checkmark is selected as well. I do have a valid reverse DNS entry and MX record on my external DNS record. I am using the standard R&RA firewall settings that comes with SBS Standard. What is wierd is that some of the external open relay tests come back negative and some come back possitive even thought I'm using the same IP/host when running the tests. I've used http://www.abuse.net/relay.html, http://www.spamhelp.org/shopenrelay/ and also followed the Microsoft KB to test for open relay, which comes back negative. It seems that the tests that run multiple open relay checks at the same time are getting a few through, but the ones that run a single test comes back blocked/negative. Any thoughts or suggestions would be gladly accepted. Ken Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400703

    - SBS 2003: Some Services Do not Start on Reboot I have an SBS 2003 Professional installed. Everything is working normally. However, when updates are installed which require the server to reboot, either the Information Store will not start or the Firewall Service will not start. I have a dual core Intel Core2Duo 2.0 GHz processor with 4 GB of memory. Unfortunately, up to now, every time I am out of town the server will reboot and I will either loose all connection to it or loose connection to the Exchange server. Any help is appreicated. Thanks. -- AAS Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400698

    - adding sbs2003 to existing domain I am adding a SBS2003 server to an existing network. I have and will follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453 I had an SBS on this network once before (it was at one point, the only AD)... but after another server (Server 2003 - NOT an SBS) was added a problem occurred where users couldn't connect to the network unless the SBS server was up. I had set the Server2003 was AD/GC I need to make sure that users can login and access the other server, even if for some reason the SBS becomes unavailable. DHCP is on the router (I know, I know...) I'll continue to run DNS on both servers. Do I _have_ to disable the GC on the Server2003? Is there anything else I should do? FWIW, the reason is that the primary focus of the SBS is the 40 hour/week back office, whereas the Server2003 supports the 7day/18hour retail side.

    - Server Management not working correctly While in server management console, I've got a couple of problems. First the font size for the side bar on the left has turned very small and is almost unreadable. All pages have the small font on the left menu. Also, I cannot use the "add user" or "add client computer" options. When I select these links I simply go back to either the list of users or computers. The SBS 2003 R2 server is up to date with latest service packs and updates. I don't remember installing anything which might cause the problem. Monitoring and Reporting is working fine.

    - RWW accessed by W2K machine? Are there any issues I need to be aware of concerning a user accessing their SBS network (via RWW...) from their older W2K computer?

All other users are using XP Pro but I just discovered one new user who is still on the older platform. TIA! Mark Tag: How To: Join a Vista computer to the SBS2K8 domain Tag: 400685

    - Indexing Service now only indexes 30 documents Hello All I previously had indexing service running on SBS2003 Premium nicely indexing the contents of the shared document folders on SBS with a link (via Simon Gibson's ASP search) to the companyweb home page which gave a very convenient way for our staff to search all company documents. When I went to use it the other day, I could not find any(!) documents. Checking the indexing service, it now only lists 30 documents being indexed rather than the several thousand I had previously. If I reindex, I don't get any more. If I start a new index and add the appropriate directory, still no more. I allowed WSUS to upgarde windows desktop search to clients and servers, I don't know if this has messed something up. I don't want to use windows search on clients and server as it slows down all the machines, I want it to work the way it did before. Any tips or pointers? Any more information I can give to narrow down the problem. I have various versions of SQL server installed, I don't know if this could have affected anything.
