Thank you Pansophic. You are correct about using different subnets. I was backed into a corner by the client early yesterday morning to resolve the issue and I did not have access to the programming features of the 3 presses. Establishing static routes on one of two nics in the same PC in the...

We need to setup a subnet for digital presses that are accessible to two XP Pro PCs. The presses are on one switch with each PCs second NIC attached to that switch. The primary NIC in each PC is attached to a 1Gbit LAN. Right now both NICs use the subnet of 192.168.42.xxx. Access to the...

Thank you for your posts. I will make sure that our backups include the system state. I will use MSbackup to backup the system volume to a file on the NTFS data volume on a daily basis. I will leave this thread open for the next few days as I monitor the status of the server in the lab on it's...

AD, DNS, DHCP & WINS are installed. Server is fully funcional with access to GP default domain policies and access to dcpol.msc and dompol.msc. Hypothesis: the domain controller and domain policies were trashed leaving only local GP. Whether the timing of the last critical update concided with...

Attempted to resolve following many different KBs and postings - no joy. Could not gain access to DC or domain default policies. I have just imaged my system partition with ASR prior to installing. All software and tools other than AD, DNS, WINS and MacFiles have been installed. Will post...

Thank you for posting. The issue is now dead. I spent over 8 hours researching and trying workarounds - no joy. I decided at 7am to reload the W2k3 server and restore data files from tape. So far no issues, but I have not installed the DC as of yet. Will post results. As to what happened...

Somehow Group Policy activated on a W2k3 Server and is now denying access to DC and Domain Security settings. I do not want to use Group Policies for the small domain. This is my first encounter with GP, so I need some help guys. Single server domain, all critical updates, 1GB RAM, 2 2.8GHz...

My exposure to ES2k is minimal and I need some guidance. The ES has been the primary Internet and internal email for years in a very small company. The server is ageing and at risk. We wish to use hosted email now because of great virus and spam filtering and global access. The desire is to...

This thread is closed. Solved using ISA publishing wizard for email server to point to the new external IP address. The wizard is non-destructive of existing policies. Thanks to those that responded. "Whether you believe you can or you believe you cannot, either way you are right.&quot...

The problem arose from ISA Server not being set to the new IP external address. Ran the Mail Server Publishing wizard in ISA Server and remote access was restored. The wizard is non-destructive of other settings. Consider this thread closed. "Whether you believe you can or you believe...

I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. ISA publish mail server wizard is non-destructive. Hope this helps others. "Whether you believe you can or you believe you cannot, either way you are right." Henry Ford

All we need to change is the external IP address. Would using the publishing wizard in ISA Server on a SBS2000 server be destructive of existing settings? "Whether you believe you can or you believe you cannot, either way you are right." Henry Ford

Thank you for responding Z. Telnet to port 25 fails on IP address. It was working fine under the old IP address. I have learned alot since I posted this. MS Technet, etc. Is it possible to preserve all the settings/policies for a published mail server and just change the IP address? Is...

Had to change external IP address thanks to Qwest sell out to Covad on SBS 2000 Server. We can send and receive external emails via Exchange Server just fine. Our problem is that we get a "server not found" when trying to attach to the mail server over the Internet. I can ping the...

Changed IP address on Small Business Server 2000 (external) thanks to Qwest DSL drop out. No issues receiving external or sending emails. Can do mail.xxxxx.com from inside firewall just fine, but get a site not found error when using a browser and http. Can ping the E2k server using the name...
