We are Running Microsoft Backoffice Small Business Server. In this product we are using the proxy server for ISP connection. The problem I am having is the system dials out without anyone making a request for Internet access. It seems to randomly connect. How do I stop that from happening an make it access on demand only?
 
Is it version 4.0 or 4.5?<br>
Are you running Exchange Server to get external E-mail?<br>
<br>
Look in &quot;Microsoft Exchange Administrator&quot;<br>
click on the Folders along the left side<br>
find &quot;Configuration&quot;<br>
then &quot;Connections&quot;<br>
you will see &quot;Internet Mail Service&quot; on the right<br>
Open it<br>
click the &quot;dial up connections&quot; tab<br>
Are there any times to dial?<br>
If so uncheck any &quot;Available connections&quot; in the list shown below.<br>
<br>
<br>

 
Make sure that you specify the number of redial attempts under your user preferences (dial-up connection). It especially applies to Exchange, where your server is trying to connect to the ISP and cannot connect for some or other reason - it will keep on trying till it reaches this setting
