Hi, SBS was designed to be used to it's fullest capacity and that includes Exchange. The best way to use your SBS box is to allow Exchange to receive email directly from the Internet via SMTP. Do not use ISP's or POP3 connectors etc. Yes, there is a risk of malicious users out there trying to...

Hi, Why not setup his iPhone to connect directly to the Exchange Server ? No need for OWA and all email, contacts and calendar will be in synch. If your FB is allowing HTTPS inbound (and it sounds like it is otherwise OWA wouldn't work) this should be quite straight forward to setup once you...

Hi, I'm afraid so. Regards Colin.

Hi, You need to create an A Record that points to their server's static IP address (you may have a control panel for this provided by the ISP - if not, ask the ISP to set this up for you). Then point the MX records at the A record (not directly at the IP). On the server, rerun the CEICW -...

Hi, Unfortunately, you can't rename a SBS server. If you do, many things will 'break'. The ONLY way to rename the domain/server name etc is to flatten and rebuild. This is one of the reasons MS suggest 'smallbusiness.local etc as the domain name. Regards Colin.

Hi, No, it's not a good idea. This is one of the reasons MS dropped the dual NIC approach with SBS 2008. Any server (SBS or otherwise ) connected directly to the 'net is a disaster waiting to happen. Revert the server to a single NIC - much easier administration all round. Get a corporate class...

Hi, 1 - As others have pointed out, SBS gives local admins rightd to users. Once each PC is setup, make users 'Restricted Users'. 2 - None should be required. 3 - Windows Firewall on it's own isn't good enough. Get an Enterprise class firewall or better still, a Unified Threat Management...

Hi, 7.1.1 is way out of date. The current version is 10.2.9 which will give you the option you require. Yes, they aren't the cheapest products on the market but they are effective and the granular configuration options (especially on the bigger Fireware boxes) is awesome. The ability to strip...

Hi, Add the IP addresses of your servers to the Trusted Hosts list (login to your Edge, expand 'Firebox Users', 'Trusted Hosts'). These servers will now not need to authenticate to access the internet. Any remote control software you use on these boxes will now allow you to remotely login and...

Hi, Is this box running Fireware ? If so, run the VPN wizard to create the required VPN. Then install the WG VPN Client on the lappy. Import the .wgx file created by the Fireware box into the VPN client on the lappy. Regards Colin.

Hi, Make the required PC a trusted host. That way it can bypass user authentication. Regards Colin.

Hi, Browse into the Netgear: http://192.168.0.1/setup.cgi?next_file=mode.htm and setup bridging mode. Alternatively, get a Draytek 100 modem (this will bridge PPPoA to PPPoE), plug it in - no configuration required - and setup the Edge external interface to use PPPoE with your static IP...

Hi, How many NIC's in the SBS box ? If it's 2, the Cisco VPN Client isn't going to work. Regards Colin.

Hi, Upgrade Java to the latest release on the PC (better still, do this from another PC as it looks like yours has IE issues). I can't see a reason why the PDM shouldn't work like it does on any other Pix - I've used it extensively on 501's and 515's with no problems. Regards Colin.

Yes, upgrade the Pix image too, 6.3 (5) is available and if you have a contract with Cisco (you must have to get the latest PDM), download it and upgrade the 2 together. Once downloaded, copy them both to the root of your TFTP server and then issue the following commands from the CLI: copy tftp...

Hi Baddos, Thanks for the reply. For the particular client this thread was aimed at I have now gone down the route of a Watchguard X550e which has all the filtering you could ever need (and more - great piece of kit!). It's useful to know that the 7.2 code will let me filter URL's etc for...

Hi guys, Does FOS 7.x allow URL filtering and messenger blocking ? If not, does anyone know which models of the ASA series allow this (I don't need content filtering - just a couple of URL's such as youtube and hotmail etc to be blocked). Then again, has anyone successfully blocked hotmail etc...

Hi, I've got a Pix, not a router connected to a Motorola Surfboard Modem (UK, Telewest Blueyonder ISP). Works fine. Are you using a straight through or X over cable ? Regards Colin.

Hi all, I have a MS Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 box in my office. I'm currently letting smtp, pptp, https and RWW (Remote Web Workplace) through my PIX 501 and letting ISA 2004 take care of security for those services. This is 'OK' with strong passwords etc but I'd like to let the PIX...

Err...I'll have a think about that one !! :)
