Hi, thanks for all the tips and advice.
The exact model of the server is:-
IBM System X3400 type 7976. Purchased in Aug 2009.
It's NOT the M3 model.
It has the IBM ServeRAID 8k RAID Controller 256MB RAM, Supports RAID-0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 6
- Array#0 RAID-1 SLOT 0 1 2 x 73Gb IBM 15k SAS Hot...
Thanks goombawaho, yes, I'm talking about an external 2TB USB drive with it's own power supply. I'd struggle to get a flash drive with a 200GB capacity (the backup is 189GB :-)
I note your comments about the E drive and as well as making a separate disk image of drive C after Step 1 I will also...
Thanks for the reply. Everything I've heard both here and elsewhere points at solution 1 (full system restore) being the best option.
rclarke250 asked if the backup was a backup or an image. It's actually a Windows Server 'bare metal' Backup which is also supposed to backup the system state...
Hello there,
Thanks for reading this post. I'm trying to find out the best way to upgrade the C drive on our IBM server. We have an IBM x3400 model 7976. We currently have 2 x 73GB SAS 15k Hot-Swap drives in RAID 1 for the C drive. I want to increase this to 146GB using 2 x 146GB SAS 15k...
Hi,
I'm fairly new to server operating systems, though I've been involved with PC's and Windows for as long as I can remember. I wouldn't dream of connecting any PC to the internet without installing some Anti Virus software on it first. However, having read loads of posts and articles on the...
Thanks AW78, the instructions in the link you sent seem easy enough to follow - I'm just not sure how I create the sales@ and accounts@ email addresses.
Do I have to actually create two new SBS users (who wont actually ever log in), one called 'sales' and one called 'accounts' just so I can...
Hi,
I know that as default Exchange Server (2007) likes to send out emails with the alias being the name of the user who is logged in e.g. joanne@mydomain.com or paul@mydomain.com.
However, many companies have sales@mydomain.com and accounts@mydomain.com but you would not have a user called...
Hi there,
After creating new users, enabling Folder Redirection and connecting two test client PC's to the SBS domain in the correct way using http://connect folder redirection is working. When I log off I see the message "Synchronising" and the green progress bar moves up as files are...
Thanks Sniper, I've read that the Export/Import to PST must be run from a 32 bit (client?) machine with Exchange Management Tools installed. The 32bit requirement being a dependency with the Outlook client.
I know you said run it from the server, but my server is 64 bit. Many posts say you...
Hi, I have a SBS 2008 with two test client PC's. I run Exchange 2007. I use the POP3 connector and smarthost feature which works very well for sending and receiving emails internally and externally on my test system. This test system uses my real domain name with test accounts for staff that...
I only need the second domain to be available on one PC.
The reason I use the POP3 connector on SBS 2008 and not the SMTP / MX record method is...
1) My ISP offers loads of features and configuration options for mailboxes that make it far easier to manage via a simple control panel than...
Hi, thanks for reading this. I run Exchange 2007 under SBS 2008. I don't use SMTP as I prefer the POP3 connector and smarthost feature which works very well for sending and receiving emails both internally and externally on mydomain.com.
Some PC's use Outlook 2002 and communicate direct with...
Hi,
Is there any way to configure Small Business Server 2008 to assign a certain range of internal IP addresses to remote users (VPN, RWW, OAA etc).
e.g. If a remote user DHCP's in assign them 192.168.0.200 - 192.168.0.250?
(and if user is on LAN give them 192.168.0.150 - 192.168.0.199)
When...

Yes, once the PC has been successfully connected to the SBS domain using http://connect anyone who has a valid user acount on the SBS can log...
Sorry, but I dont think you've explained that very well. When you say "client" do you man user, PC or a customer?
When you say 'added to the domain', you will have already created a user account for these people on your SBS and will have also set their access level (standard user or admin...
Thanks 58sniper, a good explanation.
So, if a user has 4Gb of emails the .ost file at C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook wont be 4Gb.
Also, what would happen if this user logged on to another PC on the network e.g. how much data will be transferred...
Hi, I have a question about why one PC with Outlook 2002 on appears to be storing all emails on the Exchange Server and communicating directly with the Exchange Server while another PC with Office Outlook 2007 on is synchronizing with my Exchange Server and also storing all emails locally on the...
Hi,
I run Exchange 2007 under SBS 2008. I don’t use SMTP as I prefer the POP3 connector and smarthost feature which works very well for sending and receiving emails both internally and externally.
PROBLEM: The headers of my outbound emails all show the name of my server in the "Received:" tag...
Thanks for the reply Dean,
Were you talking about a self issued certificate (free) or a "pay-for" certificate?
I actually found an article on your website (www.netometer.com/video/tutorials/server-2008-self-signed-certtificate) that sounds like exactly what I'm trying to achieve (but I'm not a...
Hi, I've read some really useful posts on here so I thought I'd register.
My question is... can I create additional certificates to allow domains other than the one specified in my SBS root certificate to access the services (OWA / RWW) on my SBS 2008?
Here's my problem.
When I installed SBS...
