We have two separate offices, both with 2003 servers and a VPN between them. In the next couple of months, 3 more offices will join the business and we then have the question of how best to share files among all the offices. At the moment, it is a bit haphazzard with a combination of DropBox and...

Luckily, a mate of mine has the disks I need and he will be in his office in an hour, so I will go over and get them. Hopefully, his disks will work! Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply. Would you believe it, it's a corrupt install disk! I just tried to install using a 2003 SBS disk and it worked fine. It's a proper disk, with all the holographic design on it and definitely came with the server, although 2003 was pre-installed on delivery so these disks...

I am reinstalling Windows 2003 server onto an HP Proliant ML115 after some disk failures. I have tried two PS2 keyboards and two USB keyboards and get exactly the same result: The server boots up and I can navigate through the BIOS no problem. The server then boots into the install CD and into...

This isn't exclusively a VPN topic but it has arisen through our use of it. We need to transfer files from one office to another and have been using the VPN connection to do so very successfully. Of course, if large files are being sent then the file copy box is sitting on the desktop for a...

Thanks for the comments guys. The deleted emails cannot be found using Recover Deleted Items. A bit odd really and I can't find a way to do it from the server, so restore from backup seems the way to go.

Someone left last week and appears to have deleted all their emails and then gone into Recover Deleted Items and deleted them from there too, since from either Outlook 2010 or using OWA, no emails can be found, except for the few that have come in in the last few days. However, Exchange is set...

Thanks. I'm trying https://mail.domain.com/owa and https://ipaddress/owa and I just get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

I have tried on a 2003 SBS server and I think I may have misled myself. Going to https://mail.domain.com/exchange works fine with port 80 forwarding disabled (I assumed port 80 was also needed). So, all that is needed is port 443 forwarded and it should work, regardless of the web server. So...

We have a web server, a new 2011 SBS server and one public ip address. Our router NAT table maps port 80 to the web server and although port 443 maps to the 2011 SBS server, we cannot get OWA. We can get it internally but not externally. Can this be done without resorting to another public ip...

Thanks for that Paul and of course you are right, every situation is different. But it is good to get other opinions and my thinking is probably along the same lines as yours. Tim

I am assuming that some of you at small businesses may have come across the question of do you get a Windows SBS server and then use it's own Exchange to handle your mail, or do you get a standard Windows server and then use one of the ever increasing hosted Exchange services. The issue seems...

There is no more empty feeling than grabbing just the backup media you need to save your bacon, trying to restore it and something is wrong that prevents you from getting data back." Yes, I have had that and yes, I very nearly got fired over it! Thanks for the comments.

Thank you that. I have done a little investigation and it seems that Symantec System Recovery is a product that addresses exactly the concern you mention and will restore to dissimilar hardware. If so, then my initial backup idea is looking better!

We just backup everything on a 2003 SBS to tape every night but I was thinking of doing more to speed up disaster recovery. The idea is that all our data, on it's own drive, is backed up as usual every night, including the Exchange server data but once a week, we make a c:\ drive backup or...

Thanks. I have tried your suggestion but no luck. However, I found a suggestion that disabling TCP/IPv6 in the Connection Properties might help so I will try that today.

I have a Netgear wireless router which works fine with no encryption and connects to my Vista laptop and I can view the internet. However, I have tried every encryption security type available on the router and tried to connect to the laptop but it will not do so properly. It shows high signal...

As is often the case, I have solved the issue. On the face of it, the problem is exactly as originally described. However, while individual user permissions are propagated immediately after clicking Apply or OK, group permissions in this case are not. And running GPUPDATE on a PC doesn't do it...

To restrict access to a folder shared using the "Add a shared folder" wizard, I can simply remove the default Everyone from the share permissions and add selected users. This works fine. However, when I create a Security Group using the "Add a Security Group" wizard, add selected users to it...

I think I may have solved the problem. I have checked the Forwarders in the properties of the DNS server and they cannot be reached. I think our ISP changed their DNS servers a while back and I am pretty sure we didn't update the addresses. I will do some checks later but assuming the ISP DNS...
