    - VSS error 0x8004230f We have an error on the Shadow Copies tab of all partitions on a Small Business Server 2003 (SP1), the error shows an error code 0x8004230f. This has happened since the restore of the server using Acronis Snap Deploy software. Due to the error the systemstate backup using NTBackup.exe or Symantec Backup Exec fails. Is there a fix for this? Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394475

    - Vista user profile issue Hi, Strange problem with a user's new HP Vista laptop. It wonâ??t save his profile in the users folder when he logs off. Basically you can log on as him, works fine (although his profile is slower than others) if he tries to save something it works until you log off. When you log on again it clears all the settings including changes to favourites, saved documents etc. Works fine on administrator and other user profiles. Tried to remove his user profile folder, no traces of it though in the registry, still no joy. SBS 2003 Std server Thanks in advance, Lyj Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394471

    - Pre Purchase Questions and WSS Hi, I want to create an intranet for an existing smallish network and I understand SBS comes with WSS which is a good tool for making an intranet/document store. I have purchased a blank server with no OS. 1. How would SBS 2003 standard edition be with 50 per machine licenses? 2. I already have a server running Microsoft Server 2003 which runs the network at present such as active directory. If I install SBS 2003 on a new server and add it to the existing domain will WSS able to get access to the existing active directory? 3. Does WSS come bundled with Microsoft Server 2003? Or is the easiest way to run WSS via a new install of SBS 2003 standard on a new server in the domain? 4. Is there any way to get my hands on a trial? I live in the UK for info. Thanks Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394470

    - Sharepoint Companyweb database - moving to another server Hi, We have a customer with an extensive sharepoint/Companyweb database setup on their SBS 2003 server. The guy that set it up and looked after it has now left the company along with some other people. The company are now having a new SBS 2003 server installed and want this setup from scratch as their is a lot of history on the old server. ..but they do want to keep on using the Sharepoint/Companyweb so they want this tramsferred to the new SBS 2003 server. What's involved regarding transferring this to run on a different SBS 2003 server, possibly with a different servername/domain name, different users etc etc. Jim.

    - sbs not holding a static ip address Weird problem. We have a SBS R2 Dell PE1900 server with a Broadcom gig NIC and it is not holding a static ip address We can go into the network settings for the local area connection, enter the static ip along with netmask and gateway . We put the server ip address in as the DNS. Press ok and ok, and expect it to be done and static. Go back in and both round buttons are set for Automatically Obtain !! At a cmd prompt the ipconfig info shows this : Ethernet adapter Server Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE (NDIS VBD Client) Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : (modified to protect) 00-1E-4F- xx-xx-xx DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 192.168.1.5 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 So.... see the DHCP and autoconfiguration and the right address......... but still not static..... the guy who set this server up has never seen anything like this and I have not either . If we restart the server it stays on the .5 address. That at least is good for now but I am afraid it might move someday . plus we just need to know why this is happening. If we try to run the EICW wizard it says we cannot because we have a dynamic ip address. So we set it again, and the wizard will run. But it still says dynamic. Thanks for any suggestions. We do not want to install another network card and I am afraid to uninstall the drivers to reinstall them since it is the AD controller and I do not want to break anything AD .

    - Exporting a Certificate from SBS I have been trying to get my wireless network going for sometime now. I have my machines authenticating with keys using EAP-TLS. Everything was going smoothly until I had to configure a wireless scanner using Windows CE I have found a guide that shows me what to do to get my cert installed on the handheld... I think : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms897760.aspx But I have also read that you can simply move the cert over to the device via activesync and then install from the handheld. My only worry is that I cant seem to get a certificate that isnt tied to a computer. I have the option to export the cert for computer and user but say is i get it off the pc called TEST then it has the machine name appened to the cert. The same is for the user only of course the domain user is specified. Is there a way for me to export a clean certification to use for auth other computer (my scanners) Noncentz Thanx Mucho Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394371

    - xp Shares and server 2003 sbs Xp home and share , I know this has been talked about and the real answer is migrate clients to Pro, but not really an option at this point. Hope someone can help - I know that Win Xp home cannot Join A/D, but it can be setup so that file sharing on the Server can be accessed. Done it before (Things I've done so far to try and connect to the shared folder on the server) I've changed the XPhome workgroup name as advised, to the same as the Server's domain name - I've also created a new user in the A/D with the same UN/PW as the XP home Pc. The XP home Pc can ping the server and after reeboot can now see the server icon in my network places, but when trying to access I'm getting a error {Server is not accessible. you may not have permission to use this network ETC:-} The server is setup for DNS / Active Directory / File server & Routing and remote access. XP Pro Clients that use server shares fine , XP home clients can veiw but have no access , Server also can veiw XP home clients PC -Icon but get error , path can not be found. - also XP Home clients can use Shares on each other.

We have a lady whose only work e-mail was internal to the company, but she gets tons of spam (i.e. careerbuilder alerts, weather updates, etc). She recently retired, and I disabled her account, but I think e-mail to her is still hitting the server, and I would like to bounce it before coming into my SBS/Exchange server.

    - Quick Question: How do I Start CIEW Again? Hello everyone, I setup Windows Server SBS 2003 and went through the to-do list and wizards during setup. It was my first time setting up SBS 2003. We did NOT have a DNS A record or URL setup at the time. We do now. I need to create a new security certificate with the new FQDN and so forth to get the RWW working with little or no errors (and the VPN setup from inside RWW to work altogether). How do I re-start the CIEW wizard? Is there anything else I need to do to fix this or any steps I need to pay extra careful attention to along the way? Thanks very much.

    - CCTV and SBS and Windows XP Pro and user vs Admin login, can't enable user to download ActiveX CCTV file. Dear group, I'm having a problem with enabling the CCTV on a desktop and I think it might be to do with SBS user permissions. When I log onto the pc as the user I cannot install the ActiveX file, downloaded automatically from the CCTV box. But when I login as Administrator then I can download and install it. The CCTV software is on the device, I go to it's IP address using the web browser, and the ActiveX software is installed. But before it will install I have to lower the security settings in IE and add the CCTV box as a Trusted Site. Then it installs, but only when Admin. In case this makes a difference, this is what I have to do as Admin to install it: I have to lower the security settings to Low, as well as add it as a Trusted Site (untick the HTTPS button). And I need to enable the remaining ActiveX options in Custom Level. Then it will install if I am Administrator, but not if I am a user (mobile/power user). 2 files are downloaded, they get installed, and it works like a dream. I then reset the security settings to Default and remove it from Trusted Sites and it will continue to work. What is going wrong here? Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394342

    - Rights management in Exchange Hi, We have SBS 2003 standard SP2 with SharePoint 3.0. We have published a certain SharePoint website externally and we want to create user accounts for outside consultants, which we want to restrict to using that specific website and nothing else. What's your advice to accomplish that? I am obviously worried about inadvertently opening doors to the server. Here is what I did: - I created a specific security group called, say, "SharePoint" - I have used that group to deny access to all shared folders on the server. That's tested, it works. - The problem is with our public folders in Exchange: I have trouble denying access to that security group, either directly through Outlook (after logging in as Administrator: the folders themselves in Outlook appear to access only users, not groups) or in Exchange Management itself (I was able to add denial of access under folders/public folders, but then a simple test showed that SharePoint security group members are able to access our public folders ! -- this I clearly don't undertand - I am also worried about VPN or other loopholes I might be forgetting. Thanks for your help Charles Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394341

    - Exchange stops fax attachments Win2003SBS Prem SP2 The server was setup to forward all incoming faxes as attachments to one user but has stopped. Faxes are coming in OK and are visible in the INBOX and can be manually right clicked / send to / mail recipient etc. I found the instructions below from Mariette Knap [MVP] while searching and have run through it using Method A and checking the settings with method B. (The only difference was #4 where I am not putting a copy in a Document Lib. and never did.) All thoughts welcomed. Jonathan Jackson JCS Verify that automatic routing is enabled for email and Sharepoint. There are two ways to do this (A. Run the Configure Fax wizard or B. Check it Manually). I will provide steps for both. A. Run the Configure Fax wizard 1. Open the Server Management Console. 2. Click the To Do List. 3. Click the Configure Fax link. 4. Run the wizard. a. Make sure the "Route through E-mail" method is checked and that a valid email address is specified. b. Make sure the "Store in a document library" method is checked and that a valid document library is specified. 5. Finish the wizard. B. Verify Fax Routing is Enabled and Configured. Enable E-mail Receipt 1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to Communications, point to Fax, and then click "Fax Service Manager". 2. In the console tree in the left panel, right-click the "Fax (Local)" node, and then click Properties. 3. On the Receipts tab, verify the "Enable SMTP e-mail receipts delivery" check box is checked. 4. In the From e-mail address: box, type the e-mail address of the sender of the fax. For example, SBSFaxService@domain.local. 5. In the Server address: box, type the SBS server's NetBIOS computer name. Do not type the server's fully qualified domain name (FQDN). To determine the SBS server's NetBIOS computer name, type "hostname" (without the quotation marks) at the command prompt, and then press ENTER. 6. In the Port: box, type "25" (without the quotation marks). If the SMTP port has changed, type the appropriate port. 7. Verify the "Use these SMTP settings for the Route Through E-Mail incoming routing method" check box is checked. 8. Click the Authentication button, verify the "Anonymous access" option is selected, and click OK. NOTE: The authentication method you selected must match the authentication method defined in the Exchange 2003 SMTP server. By default, it is set to Anonymous access. To verify this: 1. Start the Exchange System Manager. 2. If the administrative groups are displayed, expand Administrative Groups, and then expand "". 3. Expand Servers, expand , expand Protocols, and then expand SMTP. 4. Right-click "Default SMTP Virtual Server", click Properties, click the Access tab, and click the Authentication button. 5. Verify Anonymous access is selected. Enable Incoming Fax Routing Methods 1.

    - slow boot when plugged into my network Iâ??m not sure if this is an SBS is issue, but I just want to make sure, so here goes... Can SBS cause slow booting for computers that are part of the domainâ?¦or none domain pc's for that matter? ...here is the issue I have a couple PCâ??s that boot slowly during the windows loading process. Once the device is logged in everything is normal but during the loading of windows it takes a long time (3-4) minutes for windows to load before you get to the login screen. I think that this has something to do w/ SBS because it will only happen when the devise is plugged into my work Ethernet cable. Unplug it and booting is fast 30-45 seconds and youâ??re logged in, profile loaded. It's like it has to timeout and then load from cache, perhaps this isn't an SBS related issue. Also, this only happens on a 1 or 2 of the 24 computers in this office. At the same time I think that it could be SBS it's not across the board w/ all PC's. thank you Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394330

I will be running this in a MS Small Business Server (SBS) environment, but chose to post here as MOSS is still new enough that getting an answer is more likely on this NG. I have a 2 server LAN: DC is running SBS 2003 Premium (includes WinServer 2K3, Exchange 2003, IIS 6.0, SQL Server 2000, ISA 2004), and the other server is a file-and-applications server running WinServer 2003 R2. The latter server is specifically for MOSS. I have 3 partitions on it - OS, MOSS and DB(s) and for the Index. I would like to use IIS and SQL on the DC for MOSS. Q1: Can IIS 6.0 reside on the DC? Q2: I know that SQL Server 2005 Express is automatically installed; if I choose to use SQL Server 2000, do I follow the steps for "Deploying Office Sharepoint Server 2007 in a DBA environment"? Q2a: Can I place the DB on the MOSS server with the main "engine" still on the DC?

    - Remote Server Management Im sure this is a real basic question I recently applied the XP sp3 to one of my clients (stupid) now when I try to remotely connect to my SBS2003 box from this client I get the following error. Remote Desktop Web Connection ActiveX control could not be installed. A connection cannot be made without a working installed version of the control. Please contact the server administrator. Then I get "an invalid server name was specified." (looks ok to me I havent changed its name) I wish I wasnt the server administrator !! Can any one advise me where I can find this ActiveX control thingy and how I can reinstall it to get my remote desktop connection to the server up again. Thanks and sorry for being so dim.

    - Strange Roaming Profile Problem on SBS2003 R2 I have searched the groups, but can't find any posts relating to this. We have a small network - 1 X Small Business Server 2003 R2 Server 7 X Win XP Clients I have setup the users to use roaming profiles. I have also setup folder redirect for Profile Folders to Shared Folder on server. I have disabled Offline Files on the XP Clients. This setup looks like it's working OK, and has done for a week, but now i've had 2 instances where a client has logged in and every shortcut / document has vanished. When I look in the Folder for the users profile on the Server, the Desktop folder is empty and the My Documents folder is also empty, yet Firefox still contains all of the bookmarks that have been added by the user - so the App Data folder works OK Please Help!! Murpheys Law has struck & this has happened to the two company directors who are looking to me for the answers. I appreciate any help with this, I don't know where to begin looking with this problem. Thanks Andy Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394305

    - Public Folder Calendar - how do I make it show up? We are running SBS2003 and Exchange, some clients run Outlook 2007/ some 2003. I have created a public calendar in Public Folders and shared it with all users. So, the functionaly of the calendar exists but it wont do the company any good unless it is visible. As a sysadmin I am able to navigate to "public folders" and look at the COmpany Calendar. Common users are not able to do this, it is to advanced for them - also unless the public calendar is visible under the calendar tab no one will use it. So what I am asking is how is the public calendar automatically added to all existing and future users calendar tab? I can do it manually by just drag and drop the public calendar to my personal folders and get a copy of it there. But again, this is to advanced for our users (they check mail and write documents, they have no understandings of computers beyond that). If all fails, would it be possible to create a vsb login script that makes public calendar visible under calendar tab? Regards, Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394299

    - General Certificate Question Hi Folks, This is a beginner certificate question please. Looking for general advice. We've wanted to roll out OWA and VPNs protected by certificates but were wondering how we go about it. We also need it for ReportServer under 2008 and a few other things. Question 1: Basically, the certs I generated on our server are never considered 'trustworthy' for OWA to swallow so my question is that I presume we have to buy one from one of the 10 or so prime cert generators. Question 2: what do we really need in order to get off the ground? It seems you can pay $100 or $10,000. We have one central server and two sub domains and all the usual add-ons (sql server etc). Question 3: having one cert, can I generate my own certs from this that will now be trusted by OWA etc? There are about 8 products needing a cert or do they all reference the same cert? What about the subordinate SBS servers we have? The domain xyz.com.au is hosted on an ISP site somewhere in the sky. The site where I need the certificate is at MyCity.xyz.com.au (sub domain) ...and then we other servers at City2.xyz.com.au and so on. Is a single certificate all I need and what should I name it: xyz.com.au or MyCity.xyz.com.au This is a little confusing at the start and I hope I've made myself clear.

    - SQLVDI Event Logs Over the past 6 months I have started to see instances of event ID 1 appearing in my application log for the SBS 2003 server. The errors only appear at 10pm which is when the backup of this server begins (using Backup Exec software). After lots of research some weeks ago I thought I had managed to track down this issue to a know Microsoft one which had a Hotfix available. I registered with them for the Hotfix and then got told (some weeks later) that it wasn't available for SBS2003. I am still getting the errors every night at 10pm when the backup begins. There appear to be FIVE entries per SQL instance ranging from SOPHOS to SBSMONITORING. Here is an example --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SQLVDI: Loc=CVDS::Cleanup. Desc=Release(ClientAliveMutex). ErrorCode=(288)Attempt to release mutex not owned by caller. . Process=4628. Thread=9320. Client. Instance=SOPHOS. VD=. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All other entries are exactly the same apart from the "Instance". These vary between: SOPHOS SHAREPOINT SBSMONITORING MSFW (there are about 10 of these instead of just 4) BKUPEXEC Does anyone have a definitive answer on these entries at all? I keep reading that they are "known" but why do they appear, is there not a workaround fix, or something? Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394293

    - Multiple Security Events (675) For the past two years now I have been plagued with multiple and excessive amounts of Failure Audits being reported on my SBS 2003 server. These events occur everyday, sometimes every minute of every day. So you can imagine there are quite a lot. I logged questions at various sites (on here too) and I've searched the internet for answers to these events. But I continue to find NOTHING. Surely someone must know how to stop or even just troubleshoot these errors? I've looked at Kerberos related info and got lost along the way, I've downloaded the Kerbtray tool but have no idea what I'm looking at. Can anyone help?? The details of the errors are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pre-authentication failed: User Name: Administrator User ID: PLASMAN\Administrator Service Name: krbtgt/PLASMAN Pre-Authentication Type: 0x2 Failure Code: 0x18 Client Address: 127.0.0.1 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394290

    - Vista Fax and Scan I have a SBS 2003 R2 Premium Server. I have installed a fax Board (IQ Express 1 port fax Board). Outgoing and incoming faxing works fine. The console on the server works fine. Fax and scan on the Vista clients has been configured to connect to the server. The problem is when you launch fax and scan, it opens and then immediately crashes. No error message or anything except and entry in the application log. Sometimes it will open and you can see the list of faxes, but as soon as you select one it crashes. Here is the error message that appears in the event log. Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 5/6/2008 9:52:53 AM Event ID: 1000 Task Category: (100) Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: "cpunam.domain.local Description: Faulting application WFS.exe, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919551, faulting module WFS.exe, version 6.0.6001.18000, time stamp 0x47919551, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x000526d6, process id 0xa40, application start time 0x01c8af88dadeee78.

    - OWA very slow after runnin multipple times CEICW and IIS Manager C Hi I'm trying to implement Self Signed Certificate for OWA and also for some other maill stuff to a quite new SBS 2003 R2 installation (All SPs installed), one NIC. I followed these instructions: http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/SSL_Enabling_OWA_2003.html Since I had (once again) problems with certificate creation I run multiple times both CEICW and Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager Certificate Wizards. Now I have several certificates and my OWA isn't working anymore from Internet or is extremely slow. Internally it is fast. I suppose I removed one certificate using IIS Manager. I wonder how I can remove all certificates and Secure Communications / Require secure channel settings? Have a fresh start perhaps. Btw, I can see that the very first certificate made by CEICW is issued to wrong FQDN but has not effected after running the CEICW to solve that problem. A also tested same stuff on another server and ended to same situation. Any ideas? Juha Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394234

    - EX versus SMTP mail type A very senior executive assistant is retiring. We've hired her replacement and she is training her. The retiring person, who is under high stress, tries to add the new person to her address book in Outlook and is aghast to see the EX mail type and attendant confusing notation that she has never seen before. It occurs to me that this is the first new staff person that we have added since we moved to using Exchange--everybody else was already in AD and we just modified properties. Does it matter? It appears that both styles of addresses work correctly--i.e. the in-house stuff stays in-house, and external recipients get usable reply addresses. I'm just trying to figure out if I should try to get the rest of the staff addresses set up as EX rather than SMTP? The new user was added using Server Management, Users. I suspect everybody else has been hanging around since the 2000 version of SBS, or longer... Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394227

    - Adding Dedicated Exchange 2003 Server to SBS 2003 Network I'm currently running SBS 2003 Premium (not R2). We have 65 SBS CALs, so we're getting closer to the 75 limit. We have just recently purchased the SBS 2003 Premium Transition Pack and upgrade CALs, but we have not actually performed the transition install yet. My question is can we legally install Exchange 2003 on another member server running Windows 2003 R2 server? I have ordered the Exchange 2003 CD/DVD media to go along with my Transition Packs. It seems like I'm covered both ways, but these licensing questions are way, way above my paygrade. And the reason we have not actually installed the Transition Pack yet is because we don't currently need it. The sole reason we purchased it was because the older SKUs for pre-R2 SBS Transitions Packs are discontinued and hard to locate. I listened to a podcast related to the SBS Transition Pack install process and it addressed not actually installing the TP--it implied that you simply needed to purchase it to be in compliance.

    - access to GMail through ISA 2004 Running SBS 2003 Premium. Got a staff member who has asked for a "loosening" of ISA so she can get to her GMail account. She says "half the time she is disconnected" when trying to access the site. I don't have a specific rule for or against GMail, but I recently used ISAServer.org's and MS's papers on security for ISA and hardening of ISA, so think that is the reason. I'm personnally against any loosening of ISA, but would like some comments on whether my settings are preventing her access, which rule(s)/setting(s), and whether it's an acceptable risk. -- Mike Webb Platte River Whooping Crane Maintenance Trust, Inc. a conservation non-profit (501 (c)(3)) organization Wood River, NE Tag: OT: TechBash 2008 in NE Pennsylvania Tag: 394189

Interestingly if one uses a drive mapping or directly access the UNC path the responsiveness is less than a second for each mouse click.
