Sharepoint Central Administration broken: Reinstall on SBS 2008 possible?

Hey everyone. I have a problem with my SharePoint 3.0 installation on a SBS 2008 premium in use (after swing migration from SBS 2003). Problem description: I can't open the central administration site anymore. When I try to open the central administration http://servername:24449/ I get an http 404 error. I realized the problem when I tried to fix the Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search error Events ID 2424 an 2436 (Gatherer error). As far as I could find solutions, they all need access to central administration website sooner or later. So I searched for information on

online backup ideas? Tired of changing tapes - need a recommendation.

I manage a network with a small business server and a secondary w2k3 app server. I am ready to stop wasting time swapping tapes for backups everyday and want to know if _you_ have tried any online backup solutions, and which, if any you would recommend. I would like it to be exchange aware and to do a complete backup including system state, etc so that I could restore a crashed server from it if need be. I am additionally curious if any of the online backup programs can be set to simultaneously update a single local backup copy store on say, an external harddrive - just fo

LSASS.EXE error 0xc000006a after disaster recovery

A client of mine had a software RAID array (implemented by another company before I took over) become corrupted. I had to do a disaster recovery restore yesterday. I followed the steps given to me by Symantec: http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/243037.htm. After restore all the data in Directory Services restore mode successfully and rebooting the server, I was greeted by this message: Lsass.exe – System error: Directory Services could not start because of the following error: The specified network password is not correct.

Essbase Developer v11 - hot req

Opportunity: Essbase Developer v11 Many of the candidates that I have coming forward have only Hyperion Financial Planning / Reporting experience. Relative to v11 experience, they=92ve been using the upgrade tool. This leaves them with a large gap compared to truly developing and optimizing their own, custom developed cubes. Similarly, their Studio experience is frequently limited to deploying the cubes rather than truly designing and optimizing the cubes. So cube development or optimizing experience is a MUST. If you have anyone else with the above details. Please le

file sharing problem

I am implementing a SBS Server 2008 R2 network and am having difficulty allowing another user to view files on an XP3 client. The XP client's primary user files are being redirected to the server. I need to have another person get full access to the primary users files. Using SBS console I have given the second user standard access to the client PC, co-owner status and full control on the primary user's redirected folder, and even setup file sharing on the client PC for the second user. However, when the second user logs on to the client PC, the primary user's My Docs folder is n

ideal virtual setup for SBS08 premium

We are planning to upgrade our sbs03 to Sbs08 premium and considering virtual environment for 14 users, no remote connection users. What kind of hardware and virtual server would be ideal. With your experience what do you recommend, hyperV or vmware (server/workstation). We are happy to pay for virtual server if its better solution. Thank you.

User has Read-only access

Hello! I'm using SBS 2003. I have a several security groups set up. I have a drive containing many folders whose permissions are set depending on which security group they belong to. I had a folder & group which I recently had to rename. Same user in the group - and nothing in the folder changed (that I know of) except the name. Now my user who needs access can see the folders/files but when he opens them, he only has read only access. I notice when I look at the security of these folders - the group to which he belongs has full access. If I look at the security of the sub-folder

Unable to recv emails with 20MB attachments?

I have a strange situation, SBS 08, exchange 2007, changed all settings to allow up to 50MB file attachments, but, when 2 different domains send attachments of about 9MB, they are not delivered - I can see the connection between the senders server and the SBS server, but it appears that Exchange is not processing the email at all - it's not even in the logs.... From other domains I can send 30MB attachments and they arrive fine. All of the anti-spam services on Exchange are disabled, all the attachment size areas are set to 50MB, individual users limits are UNCHECKED (maybe

Hide user from SBS 2008 Console (or at least SBS BPA)?

I want to create a user for internal service processing only, so I don't mind if it doesn't show up in the SBS Console, but if I just use regular APIs to create the user then the BPA complains about it. Do I just click "Do not show me this item again" or is there a proper way to do this?

Upgrade 2008 Standard DC to 2008 SBS

Hello, I have a 2008 Standard Edition Server acting as sole DC in 2008 AD Domain. Would like to install Exchange 2007/2010 on the same box and figure upgrading to SBS gets me off the hook for installing Exchange on a DC. Since the server is already 64 bit and AD is already at 2008 level, was looking for confirmation that in place upgrade was a pretty straight forward affair. Much thanks!

Can a backup file this small be reasonable?

Just looking at the Exchange files: Priv1.edb 1,002,577,920 bytes Priv1.stm 731,914,240 bytes Pub1.edb 159,391,744 bytes Pub.stm 4,202,493 bytes And the system disk of 18 Gigs with 9.14 Gig free, the Small Business Server Backup(02).bkf = 11,204,631,552 bytes. The last backup before this was 86,xxx,xxx,xxx bytes, and I could not figure out how it was getting that high, except that it was including the folders with the previous two back files. So, I managed to exclude those disks, altogether, and I get the 11 gig backup file. The backup log is below: 3/8/

SBS2K3 Premium + ISA: second server losing network connection

I have an SBS2K3 [192.168.1.2] premium setup two NIC + ISA with two additional windows 2000 Servers. [192.168.1.20] functions as a terminal server for 25 users and the other [192.168.1.10] handles various automated processes and all EDI (orders, ASN=92s, invoices, inventory availability updates) this EDI server has been running for over three years virtually untouched) and recently (a few months ago) it started losing network connectivity periodically (random times) about once a week - restarting ISA resolves the issue. The errors in event log are after the connection drops complaini

SBS 2003 R2 not reporting to WSUS

I've posted this previously and not had any response (so apologies), and I've also posted in the WSUS newsgroup and not had any luck there (I was told that it was probably because I was "asking about an ancient (and heavily customized) version of WSUS that nobody wants to remember?" , so I'm in a bit of a quandary as to what to do. The issue is this: My SBS 2003 R2 server is not reporting itself to WSUS (v2) (installed on same physical machine) as of 6 days ago. I'm unsure why this has happened (all workstations are happily reporting). It is contacting WSUS (or vice-versa)

Windows 7 works better with SBS 2008?

I need to purchase a few new Dell PCs for a SBS 2003 network which eventually will be upgraded to SBS 2008 by the end of this year. I am not sure if I should go for Windows XP or 7. Will Win7 work better with SBS 2008? Thanks J~

SBS2008 Installation/configuration

I have purchased SBS2008 Premium. I was told that I needed to purchase a Windows 2008R2 Server license for the second server? I thought SBS2008 premium had licenses for both SBS2008 and Windows 2008 server and that I just need additional user/device CALS. Also, Can I install SBS2008 AND Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V Viitualization all on the SBS2008 box, or does it have to be installed on separate servers?

Sharepoint Permissions Shot on SBS 2008

Hey everyone, I have some serious Sharepoint 3.0 Issues. For starters, after the upgrade to Sharepoint 3.0, the Windows Search Server went down, along with all site access. I spent hours bringing every site back online, but I have no access whatsoever to the Sharepoint Admin. I get "Error: Access Denied" for every single user account. I have read hundreds of articles online for fixing this issue and they all say to login as another user and delete and re-add the broken user account. What do you do when all user accounts are broken? Also, when going to the Sharepoint admin

SBS08, interesting RWW Computer connection interruptions

I have just started to notice a strange difference between RWW on SBS 03 and SBS 08.... SBS 08 opens an SSL window that it states must remain open in order to keep your Computer/Server connection (remote desktop) remotely. By default, most firewall rules have a inactivity time-out period of XX minutes. In this case, the SSL window doesn't have any traffic once the RWW RDP session is created, at least none that I can see. So, unlike SBS 03, when you connect to a computer using RWW in O8, and the SSL timeout is set for 10 minutes on the firewall, you will be disconnected every 1

Hi, SBS 2008 premium, Exchange 2007 My boss has asked me to set something up where we can email all of our customers in one go, highlighting our new products etc. I have no experience with "mailshots" so I've done a bit of reading on the internet. There are a lot of articles urging people to be careful as there are a few pitfalls. Ie ending up on spam lists, annoying customers, a legal requirement to have an "opt out" link. etc. I haven't actually found anything to help me achieve my objective though. Do I need 3rd party software or is there some way of doing this via Exc

SBS 2008 - BareMetal Restore failure - URGENT HELP

Dear All I am currently recovering an SBS 2008 system from the last "successful" backup. I user the server console to backup the system drive (c:) plus an d: / l: / x: drive, altogether around 800GB.

SBS2003 + Internet Explorer - Use automatic configuration script

We have a customer who has an SBS 2003 Premium server with ISA 2004 They have just installed a bolt on to Outlook which searches their mailboxes or something. They have discovered that they cannot get this to work unless the untick the 'Use automatic configuration script' in Internet Explorer. Trouble is each time they re-boot a PC the tick comes back, so sounds like it's a policy setting somewhere. What is this ? Where is it configured and what are the implications of turning it off ? Could it be that rather than turn it off whatever it is ought to be configured to w

SBS2008 - email

Just installed my first SBS2008. Pretty cool so far. Question: Is there any additional configuration on the Server to receive email other than adding the Domain to Accepted Domains? I need to support 3 mail domains on this server, all 3 have A Records for mail.domain.com that point to the SBS2008 server IP. Also, I notice that when I create a user, only the default domain is added to the users email addresses, as opposed to SBS2003 which added all the domains. Is this by design, or have I not added domains correctly.

Windows Server 2003 SP2 update

I have SBS 2003 SP1 Premium. I would like to perform the Windows Server 2003 SP2 update but have seen too many red light issues about installing it. I know you used to have to uninstall a lot of updates before installing it. Is that still the case? Is there a fix for that (it's been several years, so I would think they've come up with a solution by now). Also, I would like to instal WSUS 3.0. Should I wait until SP2 is instaleed?

Office 2007 Connection to SBS 2003 via PPTP

We have an SBS 2003 server. We have a number of PCs running Office 2007. One of them is a notebook. When the notebook is in the office, Outlook connects to the server as expected. When we take the notebook out of the office and attempt to connect Outlook to the server thru PPTP, Outlook reports "Trying to connect to Microsoft Exchange" and never gets any futher. No timeouts. No failures. No nothing. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

SBS2003 shared folder backup recommendations to NAS

Hello A small office running SBS2003 has got a new Maxtor Shared Storage network drive. Drive creates password protected shared folder accessible from network. Which backup software do you recommend for creating over the network a daily backup of server's shared folder? Is there any freeware for such a small task? Perhaps it's worth of considering to create a small script for folder copy? Except that the password may be difficult part of the script. Thanks

Reinstall RWW / Company Web on SBS 03 OLD Server

I have a friend that runs SBS 03, it's old, but it's all they can afford.

SBS SERVER 2008 - BACKING UP THE OS

Hello, Months ago we installed a dedicated external hard drive to backup the harddrive of our SBS 2008 operating system which functioned without any problems. Soon after we replaced the OS harddrive to a faster speed hardrive and did so by cloning the harddrive. After cloning the harddrive we were no longer able to successfully backup the OS harddrive onto the external hard drive. The system would backup to about 99% and a back cluster at the end of the hard drive would cause the backup to fail. After trying Perfect Disk which is a commercial defrag program, the situation w

SBS 2003 to 2008 Migration, and other Server migration questions

Hi, I'm in the midst of planing a migration from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008. I did a swing migration 3 or so years ago when I switched out HW for SBS 2003, and it worked well, only a couple of minor problems I had to deal with. I"m not opposed to purchasing the rights again, but do see that MS has documention for the same purpose, so I was wondering from those who have done migrations, which did you use, and why? Also, I have a 2nd domain controller, and a couple of other member servers (all 2003 Server), and I would like to figure out if I could do some kind of migration there as

Any white papers or good references on changing an SBS 2008 std with Exchange server 2007 from Dynamic ip to Static ip? Having MAJOR smtp mail problems with isp lately using dynamic ip.

SBS2008 Licensing question

I have a strange installation where there are 25 users, but only 4 users will EVER use the 2nd 2008 server with SQL. So I am wondering if I am able to purchase a 20 CAL SBS Standard License pack and add them to the 5 premium licenses that came in the SBS 2008 premium box. This way I would have 25 licenses to access the SBS server, and 5 of the 25 could access the premium services, namely the 2008 server with SQL. Thanks.

My problem is that when I log onto a client and look at the list of printers in control panel I will see - 3 network printers - 3 more copies of the network printers for each client (Brother Printer on PC1, Brother Printer on PC2, etc.) - 2 USB printers on their correct host - 2 more copies of t

Migration from SBS2003 to Full Server 2008

Hi, I currently have an old SBS 2003 (non R2) installation with extra DC's at a couple of remote sites. I want to migrate to full Server 2008R2 with Exchange 2010, and am looking for the best way of acheiving this with minimum downtime. I have considered SBS2008 and EBS 2008 but neither are appropriate for what we need. I was originally thinking of building a new environment exporting all the data copying to the new environment, then manually moving all the PC's over. This would be a big bang approach, and very labour intensive to avoid too much downtime. I am now w

Text/Input Boxes not appearing - Sharepoint

Morning, I have many workstations now not displaying text boxes/content boxes within sharepoint (2003 SBS version). Any other site will display forms but not sharepoint. This does not seem to effect all machines and seems to have nothing to do with permissions as i have tried with all types of users. I have tried changing all the security settings with no luck either. I have also tried in many different browsers. Is there something simple im overlooking? Here is a link to a screenshot, as you can see the only thing that appears is the assign to drop down, nothing else.

SBS2008 Monitor internet usage

I have SBS2008 std and would like to monitor the internet bandwidth used by users on the SBS network. As there are many hardware and software solutions available, I seek the simplest to implement with a report of usage and the users responsible. Managed switches is one solution. Which switch will be the simplest to implement in this senario with the report? Firewalls, proxy servers, etc. This all get confusing. There is a product called Cisco Network Magic. This seem to be what I am looking for but am not sure whether this will work on SBS2008. I don't mind spending on ha
