    - SharePoint 3.0: problems with external access Hi all, We have SBS 2003 standard SP2 behind a Sonicwall TZ 180. 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: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393775

    - 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: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large 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: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393728

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.

    - 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: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large 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: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large 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: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large 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.

    - 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: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393686

    - SBS 2003 to SBS2003R2 New Hardware Searched through a few threads in here that appear to be related to my issue. Our business recently had to purchase a new Dell server as our old unit running SBS 2003 lease was up and running out of space. The new unit is here with SBS2003 R2 preinstalled. I have found "how to" articles on migrating from SBS2000 to 03 but not from 03 to 03R2 on new hardware. Anyone that could share some recommendations that would be great.

    - URL and MAILTO: links not working from non Microsoft Applications Hi, Could someone please help me I've searched high and low for an answer for the problem I've been having since replacing a SBS2003 server within an organisation. Only Difference I can find is that the new server is running SBS2003 R2. Problem is that when a client computer on the domain clicks on either a URL link or Mailto: link from within any third-party application installed on their desktops it doesn't work - nothing happen's, it's like they didn't click the link at all. Applications tested on are MYOB and a Database application However links from within IE and Office do work correctly I've never come accross this before and believe it has something to do with perhaps a new default policy applied with SBS2003 R2 I've ensured the Default Domain Policy has been applied to the server with no changes Clients are on XP SP2 - all latest updates installed Server is SBS2003 R2 SP2 - all latest updates installed I've checked the URL and Mailto: association's on both the server and desktop computers (I've checked this on the server as one of the applications is a server based application/database which has client software... wasn't sure if the Shell Execute code was calling things on the client machine or the server - but after further tests it appears it's local on the client machines...) Any help would be greatly appreciated Kind Regards Tushka Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393667

    - Terminal Services - Virtual Server an Option? I have many clients who could benefit from having a terminal server. However, the cost of an additional server for these small businesses has scared them away. Assuming the SBS box has enough horse power, can I run Virtual Server with Windows Server 2003 on it and Terminal Services to accomodate? Anyone have any experience? Any downsides worth mentioning?

    - Users Shared Folder Security Messed Up Hi, I have a client who started messing around with his SBS server. He found the "Users" share and was moving files between users from the server. As a result, many of the doucments and offline cache have the wrong permissions on them. Is there an easy way to reset the permissions for all files back to the perspective user? Also, I've found with Vista clients that clearing out the offline file cache is a bugger sometimes once the permissions of local files are incorrect (i.e. they got sync'd down to the client machine with the wrong permissions). Any words of wisdom (aside from don't let the guy mess with the server) are appreciated. Thanks much. Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393646

    - VPN connectivity issues I have a problem with the connectivity across my VPN connections. Our SBS is an SBS2003 R2 with SP1 and is situated outside our office at a Server Hotel. In order to reach the server we use VPN, OWA, RWW and PDAs. When moving the server to the new site, there seems to be some issues with the connectivity. The server has two NICs: One that is hooked to the Internet connection of the Server Hotel and the other is not connected to anything but is just there in order for the CEICW to accept a "Direct Broadband Connection" into the server. So, I have set up the Server to accept incoming PPTP connections, and I have tried to connect to the file shares on the server. Many services do function across the VPN link such as RWW, OWA, Exchange in Outlook and WSUS. However, file sharing does not work at all. Is there a special port that has to be configured to be opened in the SBS Firewall or that has to be opened in the firewall that is situated outside of the server at the server hotel? This secondary firewall is transparent. I reckon that if the PPTP tunnel has been established - shouldn't this then mean that the server would pass all traffic, including file sharing traffic, through the tunnel and hence not blocking anything? When I try to access the file shares from a Vista machine, I get the message that the network resource is not available. I have tried to activate "Use the standard gateway on the remote network" but with no luck except for that the Internet connection drops from the server. Does anyone have any input to deliver?

    - router setup query SBS I see the options for setting up the dlink 604T are ppoe/oa, static ip, etc during the wizard and I would like to confirm that setting up this router with 2 nics on sbs2003 and a static ip from bigpond is simply setting up the router like any other (non static IP) adsl account. So as I understand the router gets it's static IP and dns etc automatically. Correct? So when would one use those >choose static IP and complete all the dns feilds etc?

    - no OWA Hi, I have upgraded from SBS 2000 to Small business Sever 2003 R1. It seems to have knocked out the OWA functionality of exchange. The main Exchange system is working on the internal network with the Outlook clients but the Outlook Web Access doesnt work internally or externally. I have run the "Connect to the internet" wizard again to make sure OWA and OMA are configured and enabled. All of the users have OMA enabled in their "Exchange features" tab in the users properites. I have played with all of the neccessary settings in the Properties, but i get nothing. When i browse to the OWA directory from a remote web browser (https://servername/exchange or https://ipaddress/exchange ) it displays : Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. If i disable the "Forms base Authenitication" option, in HTTP properties, i can browse to the OWA Exchange directory from the Exchange server web browser (internal) and it logs into the OWA with the Administrator user account. But it doesnt display correctly, it looks like no images or files can be located. here is a print screen of what i get presented with when it logs in. http://www.ringsights.com/exchangeerror.jpg When i view the Default Website in the IIS manager it displays a status message next to the "Exchange" and "Public" virtual directories. This message is "The System cannot find the path specified".

I keep coming back to Response Point, based on some blog entries I've read in teh SBS and SMB world. It sems to be pretty good, but there must be some lessons learned out there. Concerns I have are ROI, integration with T1 (I read a review of RP dated Dec 2007 that said it wouldn't integrate well on T1, but SP1 might fix that), who our "carrier" would be, etc. (I've never dealt with VoIP so this is very new to me.)

I decided to do this for a number of reasons. I'm going to list the reasons and I'd like to see if there are better ways of doing this. 1. I need name@mydomain.com not verizon.com etc. 2. ISP is Verizon FIOS that will not allow hosting on a residential service 3. IP is Dynamic, Static is business class (see below) 4. I've "heard" there are blacklists for residential IP addr's that would cause trouble with mail delivery As a result I got a bunch of mailboxes from Network Solutions (actually a web hosting package which had 500 mailboxes and a couple of gigs of web space). I'll either move my website in the future or just use the on-line space for backup either way on a 5 year agreement it was very inexpensive (375 bucks total) I set up SBS to send/receive mail through these pop3 accounts using the required port 2525 so there's no blocking issues. I'm told by NS that I can add SSL that would give even better security since I've always been a bit peeved about most everything going clear text for SMTP. Now, I've posted a few times for help and I've been getting a lot of replies that they don't know why I'm even trying to do this. This brings me to believe I've done something terribly wrong, that's why I'm posting for your comments. My decision to do this was based on the following: 1. Verizon doesn't want most hosting exchange in their network. Eventually they might boot me if they were to look at the traffic 2. Who's going to let me "relay" through their SMTP, AND host my domain name at their SMTP (this is where I think I might have gone wrong. I keep hearing about using DYDNS to forward. And if there is such a service, how reliable is it? My e- mail is small business, but it's still important. Dont' want to find that a company stopped a "free service" Don't think Network Solutions is going anywhere. 3. If I went to Business class FIOS it would cost a whole bunch more for half the speed and break all my bundle pricing (do you know how long it took me to finally get it straightened out with Verizon, some of you probably do) So help me understand if I've done something wrong. Like I mentioned before, nothing is in production yet, NS has 30 day money back on the web hosting so I'm not really out anything if I decide to go another direction. Based on all the reading I've done, and some discussion it seemed like the way to go, but I'm all ears for the discussion. Thanks and I look forward to the replies.

    - Trend Micro CSM 3.5 and SBS SP1 We are planning to switch from Symantec to Trend Micro CSM v. 3.5, but I noticed that the documentation for CSM notes that the minimum OS requirements for SBS are SBS2003 (R2). We are running SP1 on both Exchange and Server 2003 on SBS. I am going to call Trend Micro support on Monday, but I know that a lot of people in this newsgroup use CSM. Is the R2 version of SBS required, or will CSM 3.5 run on SP1? -- Mark Sutheard Greene and Bradford, Inc. Springfield, IL Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393511

    - Is it safe to move service pack folder? I've just finished running updating our SBS2003 to SP1 (I know, should have been done long ago, but that's another story). I'm now trying to regain some space on the C: drive. There is a folder named C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles which is about 620 Mb in size. Is it safe to move this to D: drive on the server? That is where I am storing all the windows update folders after they have been applied, and I'm following the KB article now on moving the clientapps folder. Any other folders that are safe to move? Thanks. -- Mark Sutheard Greene and Bradford, Inc. Springfield, IL Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393510

    - Recovery Console question Folks: I am making some changes to our SBS 2003 Server this weekend and some questions have arisen that need fast answers... We are working on a server which is a domain controller. (SBS 2003) I am using Acronis True Image for Windows Server and I have a good backup of my Drives... The original Drive Arrays (they were too small so we had to upgrade to larger drives) have all been removed to make room for the new, larger hard disk arrays and the HP SmartController has been reconfigured to support the new RAID 5 configuration with 3 hard drives. So I cannot go back to the original setup. Acronis Tech support said I can restore the data partition by partition, (one at a time) so I can resize the partition on the new drive which is what we want to do. That process is running now and it will take 12 hours to complete. But they also said that I should not write the MBR using their software. They said I should boot to the recovery console and run some commands. They said: "Please boot up from the Windows Bootable CD, then go to the Recovery Console (the first Repair option you come to). From the command prompt please type: FIXMBR C: FIXBOOT C: COPY CDDrive:\I386\NTLDR C:\ COPY CDDrive:\I386\NTDETECT.COM C:\ BOOTCFG /rebuild ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The problem is that when you do this, Windows installation will ask you for the administrators password before you every have a chance to enter the commands. The administrators name was changed for security reasons so the actual login name "Administrator" does not exist. Will I still be able to get into the Recovery Console? If not, what should I do now? Any help would be appreciated. Bikini Browser San Juan Puerto Rico Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393504

    - automatic VPN connection as a service? from sbs to sbs I have two SBS servers about 10 mile apart, and each has it's own raid nas box. I have software that keeps the 'mirror' share on each synchronized-- anything that is on one appears on the other eventually the software (which I love, ViceVersaPro from trgmn.com btw) can run as a windows service. I now have it all setup where I want it except for one little fact for the synch to run, a VPN connection between the two has to be active-- and I can't get that VPN connected unless I log into the server running my synch software... is there anyway to tell sbs#1 to connect the vpn as a service/autmatically on power on? keeping it alive if a user is logged in or not? I keep searching-- but the most common uses for my search terms are not getting what I want. Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393503

    - HTC P3300 / HTC Touch Cruise and AUTD Hi! I have an issue with two different HTC devices that I have in my organisation. The basis of all communication is an SBS2003R2 with Exchange SP2. I have trouble with different clients' phones receiving the emails at different speed. The HTC P3300 was initially released with Windows Mobile 5 but in March 2008, HTC released a Windows Mobile 6 update for the P3300. I loaded this image to my P3300 and it worked perfectly well with both DirectPush and all the other connections that I did set ut for it. The issue is my colleagues that all have changed their PDAs to HTC Touch Cruise instead. Both their phones any mine are using Windows Mobile 6 but with the difference that theirs are preinstalled with Win Mobile 6 from delivery. The problem that they are experiencing is that their DirectPush isn't very "Direct". Instead of having their emails and calendar updates delivered to their PDAs instantaneously, the delay might be up to a few hours. In my own PDA, the P3300, this issue is non-existing and hence I am not experiencing the problem. Okay, so I went looking for some KBs and found that this has to do with the firewall timeout settings. After having changed the timeout settings for the firewall, the connection for my PDA got even better than before, but the issue persisted on their PDAs. Is there anyone having any experience with this kind of problem? I am using a mixture of Certificate and non-Certificate-connections from the four PDAs (one P3300 and three Touch Cruise).

    - SBS migration - best choice? We have to change to a new server soon. We currently have an SBS 2003 Premium setup. We have considered swing migration as well as the possibility of using Acronis disk image migration. Has anyone got any advice about this or point to some good resources to help us choose? Also are there any other good alternatives? Thanks, Vic Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393490

    - Server Restarts Excatly Every Hour Well, I still have this problem. Here is what I've done: * SBS 2003 R2, update all service packs, updates etc. * Tried to eliminate SBSCore Svcs - doesn't affect anything. Re-enabled. * Isolated the network - still happens * Removed USB devices - still happens * Run BPA and it is totally happy. * I have 40+ users/mailboxes defined * I have 25 CALs installed * No more than 15 users log on at any one time. * Disabled all virus detections Surely someone out there has seen this? Perhaps I have to repair the OS? Geoff Schaller Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393466

    - setting up remote access Hi, I am trying to figure out a free or inexpensive way to setup remote access for a small dental office so that the dentist can remotely access his server and files through his laptop from home. I know there are couple of companies out there such as pcanywhere or logmein that provide this service but you have to pay a monthly fee. I am looking into VPN and am trying to figure out whether it is an option. Does anyone know of a free or inexpensive method? Thanks, Beno Tag: WSUS temlog.ldf getting too large Tag: 393444

    - Upgrade from SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2003 Standard Is it possible to upgrade SBS 2003 to a Standard environment? We have one SBS server doing our Active Directory, File Server, Print Server, Exchange, and Terminal Server. It is a Dell Poweredge 2800, with dual Processors x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1 GenuineIntel ~2992 Mhz, 2GB RAM. We have about 35 users with 5 terminaling in remotely. Wondering if i can/should upgrade/add a server. It seems SBS is designed to work alone. But is it possible to move to Standard Server 2003 and keep Exchange?

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.

Stop the WSUS services, stop the WSUS SQL instance, delete the tempdb
files and restart.
