    Best way to upgrade RAID 1 from 73GB to 146GB?

    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...

    Best way to upgrade RAID 1 from 73GB to 146GB?

    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...

    Best way to upgrade RAID 1 from 73GB to 146GB?

    Anti Virus Software for SBS 2008

    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...

    Sending emails from different alias via Ex 2007 / SBS 2008

    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...

    Sending emails from different alias via Ex 2007 / SBS 2008

    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...

    Folder Redirection - working but not as expected

    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...

    Get existing users emails into their Exchange mailboxes?

    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...

    Get existing users emails into their Exchange mailboxes?

    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...

    Send / Receive emails for 2nd domain on Exchange client

    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...

    Send / Receive emails for 2nd domain on Exchange client

    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...

    Reserve a range of IP's only for remote users

    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...

    Connecting Workgroup clients

    happyhacker wrote "Am I right in thinking that when the PC is added to the domain those logons previously offered will be replaced by those domain Users" 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...

    Connecting Workgroup clients

    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...

    Why is my client PC synchronizing with Exchange 2007?

    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...

    Why is my client PC synchronizing with Exchange 2007?

    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...

    Remove "Server:" name from email header

    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...

    Can I create new self issued certs for different domain names?

    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...

    Can I create new self issued certs for different domain names?

    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...
