    - EFS File Share Help Im trying to use EFS and CA to encrypt data on a remote file Share. Im having problems. Encryption is working on the File Share(Server) but its using Self Signed Keys when using a remote machine(Workstation) and copy a file to the Share. Also when I encrypt the file on the Share as Admin and try to share it using the authorized users and select the Key for my Workstation user and Verify the Fingerprints Match. The workstation cannot decrypt the file. I know the Self signed key is on the Share(Server) Because When I encrypt locally on the Workstation it uses the Key that was assigned by the CA. Another problem... I really cannot use roaming profiles. Long story it just wont work in my situation. All im looking for is a Shared folder to be encrypted and accessible by multiple users. the CA was originally intended for SSL but I figured this could work too. Thanks Tag: poor performance?

    - Windows update Not sure why, but recently Windows Update is rebooting my server at night after an update. In XP it is clear where to turn this setting off but I don't know where it is located on the SBS server. Can someone help? It really screws up the works when the server reboots itself. -- Regards, Jamie Tag: poor performance? Tag: 395269

    - Installing an existing GoDaddy SSL on another SBS box.... This is probably a dumb question; I'm pretty much an IIS moron. But I've got a functional GoDaddy SSL cert installed and working on my own SBS box...and I'm now moving that server to new hardware (well, technically, I'm rebuilding it in a virtual server). It's a pretty vanilla install so far. When I first ran the CEICW I just entered a bogus / placeholder self-signed SSL cert - I now want to replace it with my real one so it's ready to go when I do my cutover. I installed the intermediate certificate properly, and then re-ran the CEICW to install the main cert, thinking that would simply work, silly me! I got an error that there was no pending request for the default website (there wasn't, of course) so I prepared one. I did this by following the "official SBS Blog" instructions, which are what I'd followed to order the cert in the first place - I created a new website using the appropriate host.domain.com name & got the certreq.txt generated. The CEICW still wouldn't let me install the existing CRT file - same error. I then tried removing the existing request from host.domain.com and running the same request on the *default* website. Same error; no dice. Abandoning the CEICW, I ran through the SBS blog instructions again & recreated host.domain.com and prepared a new request. Then tried to go through & assign the .crt file. That yielded "The pending request for this response file was not found. This request my be canceled. You cannot install selected response certificate using this Wizard" I tried copying the certreq.txt from my existing server to the new one to see if that made any difference - no dice. When I've gotten third party certs before I've always created the certreq.txt file on the server & run through it with the SSL cert provider at ordering time - it's always worked fine that way. However, I've never done anything like this after I've already *got* a valid certificate and want to install it on a new box. Q1: Do I have to go back to GoDaddy to get a new one issued for download, just as though I'd never done this before? Q2: Will that do anything bad to my existing, working SSL cert on the as-of-yet production server? I haven't run into this at a client site yet, but I'm sure it can and will happen, and I'd like to know what the proper procedures are so I don't show them what an IIS moron I am. Help!

    - svchost 100% CPU is back! I rolled out the latest updates that Microsoft put out on the 13th, and a couple of computers on the network have the high cpu usage bug. Originally, i have read about the issue but none of the computers were effected by this. My set up is SBS 2003 SP1 with WSUS 2 SP2. Can the reason for this be that I still use WSUS 2.0?

    - VPN error 720 when connecting to remote server I just took over a Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition. The server is configured with two NICs. Both being used. One connected with ISP and the other connected to LAN. There is ISA installed and used To Do list to reconfigure the remote access . I downloaded the connection manager to my computer and tried to connect using it. I get the following error information from the connection manager: A connection to the remote computer could not be established. You might need to change the network settings for this connection. For further assistance, click More Info or search Help and Support Center for this error number. (Error 720) For customized troubleshooting information for this connection, click Help. I have logged to the SBS server via RWW and used the ISA Best Practice Analyzer and it shows the following: The VPN connection failure warning was signaled 78 times: Events that triggered the alert: 5/12/2008 4:54:55 PM - The VPN connection attempt by user wmontgomery from VPN client IP address 192.168.16.15 could not be established. The failure is due to error: 0xc004000c I need to get this server up and running. what would be the best troubleshooting steps. -- Jairo F McNally Tag: poor performance? Tag: 395253

    - Problems applying godaddy SSL certificate to WSS 3.0 website for external access Here is my current environment: SBS 2003 SP1 ISA 2004 SP2 MS Exch SP2 I've got all my sharepoint services websites published for external access and all work fine. I have a registered FQDN pointing to my external IP so that I can use to access my SSL site using the below listed links. https://FQDN.com/exchange https://FQDN.com/remote and https://FQDN.com/:444 These all work just fine and dandy. I used a self signed certificate that I generated within SBS and this works fine. You get the website error when you first go to one of the above listed websites but once you install it the next time and there after everything is fine. Recently I installed WSS 3.0 in a side by side install as recommended by MS. I went to godaddy and requested a web certificate. Got a great deal. 5 years for like 14.99 a year. Anyways I went through the whole process and created my CSR in IIS and sent it to godaddy. Now here is where I think the problem exists. When creating the CSR to submit to godaddy for my SSL I used the same "COMMON NAME" that is used for the above websites. I thought this was ok because it was using a different SSL port. So when I try to go the the WSS 3.0 website externally I get the following....... https://FQDN.com:5050 I get a page not found error. The error code is Error Code: 500 Internal Server Error. The target principla name is incorrect. Well after doing some researching and speaking with godaddy TS I was told that my SSL certificate from them still shows I'm using a self signed key as opposed to the private key issued to me by godaddy. They use the tool Open SSL to view the certificate being used. So I thought about it and discovered it has to be because my other SSL websites are using the self signed SSL certificate generated within SBS with the same name. So they suggested I get rid of thse self signed keys and rekey another one for reissue. I went into the MMC/Certificates and under the Personal Certificates removed all gomajaro self signed certificates as well as the new godaddy one. I created a new CSR and rekeyed my web certificate and resubmitted using the same name as the common name. Applied to the WSS 3.0 website and made the apprpriate changes in ISA. Still get the same error messages. I can still access my old ssl websites I can access internally http://companyweb (WSS2.0) as well as http://servername:8084 (WSS3.0) Now from the outside when I go the any one of the above ssl websites and view the certificate is shows publishing.domainname.local Where am I going wrong and what do I need to do. thanks for the assistance once again.

    - 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: poor performance? Tag: 395220

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: poor performance? Tag: 395216

    - 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: poor performance? Tag: 395208

    - 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.

    - 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: poor performance? 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?

    - 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: poor performance? 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: poor performance? Tag: 395078

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!! Mike Nebraska Tag: poor performance?

    - 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. I know that ISA has some general Internet Usage logs, but I'm looking to "follow" someone around and record the data. Any thoughts, ideas, places to look? If it can be avoided, I'd rather not use third-party software. -- Best regards, Jim Graue Tag: poor performance? Tag: 395074

    - 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: poor performance? Tag: 395070

    - "fresh install" of Windows from CD = overwrite of AD, Info Store, Just a quick Q ... I'm tired and not thinking very well at this point (30+ hours straight). I've tried Recovery Console > FIXBOOT, FIXMBR, & CHKDSK, then 3-4 times of a Repair of Windows to no avail. Still stuck at 12-13 minutes. If I choose Install a Fresh Copy, does that overwrite the items in the subject? TIA, Mike Tag: poor performance? Tag: 395066

    - 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? Tag: poor performance? Tag: 395052

    - 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. But now, they want a shared calendar (for appointments, etc.), etc. Please Help! Thanks, Fred <>< Tag: poor performance? Tag: 395037

    - 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? Tag: poor performance?

    - ICW is only a temp fix W2k3 (non R2) inst in 04, no recent hardware changes, only new sw is updates, single NIC Weird problem is that Exchange stops receiving/sending external mail (services are still running fine so internal works) and external RDC connections fail (internal connections still work fine) Running ICW fixes problem for a short time (20 to 40 minutes). 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. In any case, browsing works all the time. Thanks in advance. Tag: poor performance? Tag: 395006

    - New Router, Need Help Hello, I wanted to bring Internet connectivity to the warehouse, So I ran a CAT 5 cable over there... I'm running SBS 2003 1-NIC w/o ISA; I have a D-Link DSS-16+ switch connecting everything together, including the Adtran NetVanta 3200 T1 Modem, and my New router D-Link EBR-2310. On the 2 computers over in the warehouse, I can't connect to the internet. I've disabled the DHCP on the router, It should just be plug and play from there... Both computers are signed into the network, they have administrative privileges for this exercise.... What else do I have to do?? 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"..

    - 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? Tag: poor performance?

    - 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: poor performance? Tag: 394985

if you're referring to applying updates, I've held off on mine or I'ld
confirm. I'm holding off because on Monday we're going to migrate to
a non-SBS domain (or so we hope). Should I anyways? My hardware is
woefully underpowered (hence the upgrade) and I can't take any more
performance hit.
