    Is DFS still a good technology

    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...

    Keyboard problem on server install

    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...

    Simple file transfer

    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...

    Restoring emails

    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...

    OWA and web server

    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...

    Mail server advice

    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...

    Backup concept

    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...

    Wireless limited connectivity

    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...

    Restricting folder access

    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...

    DNS not working

    If a client computer is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically", then it cannot find any public web site by it's URL. However, it can find it using it's IP address. Clearly, the SBS DNS server is not working properly. We can solve this by...

    ActionList problem

    At the start of an iterative piece of code, I set a variable to true and then back to false at the end of the process. This variable appears in the OnUpdate event of an ActionList and is used to enable or disable a range of Actions while the process is running. The trouble is that the...

    Routing across subnets

    We have a small lan, with an adsl router, to which a wireless access point is attached, which gives network resource access to staff. However, we would like to provide wireless internet access to casual visitors. The problem is that from a security point of view, allowing visitors to connect to...

    Backup technologies

    We need to change our tape backup device, since we have run out of room. Based upon the amount we back up now and the growth over the last year, I would say that in 5 years time we will be backing up about 160GB, and we would certainly be looking for a device to have a service life of at least 5...

    Problem with dual boot W2K

    I have a new PC with Vista Ultimate and want to set up a dual boot with W2K Pro. I have split the existing hard drive into two primary partitions and as far as Vista is concerned (which is on one of them), they are both NTFS formatted and ready to go. I have tried booting to the W2K Pro CD and...

    Phones

    I am after a replacement for my wireless home/office phone and it seems sensible to consider VoIP/SIP phones. My requirements would be: 1. Handset base station must plug into normal phone line for landline calls. 2. Base station either connects to PC or direct to router for VoIP calls. 3. Phone...

    Blacklist checking

    It often comes up that someone says they have either sent or been sent an email that never arrived and apart from the obvious checks, the appearance of the senders IP address on a blacklist is becoming more of a likelyhood. I have found many web sites that do checks, but with some blacklists...

    Job time window

    I have a backup job which is scheduled to run at 21:00 each week day and it has been running fine for some while. However as of Monday (the day after British Summer Time started) it has been shown as 'Missed'. The job schedule is set to 'Run according to schedule' and the Time Window is set to...

    Hardware compression

    I am using an external HP SCSI C7438A Dat72 drive on Windows SBS 2003 using Backup Exec 10 SBE. When installing I chose to use the Backup Exec drivers, and had not previously installed the HP drivers which came with the tape backup unit. Everything works fine, but selecting to use hardware...

    Sharing files between domains

    The accountants for our business are a self contained office within our building, although they are a separate company that happen to use our 2003 SBS network for email and shared files. They have just told us (with no consultation) that for confidentiality reasons, they have bought their own...

    Cannot remove address list

    Using Outlook 2003 with Exchange server, selecting To when creating a new message brings up the Select Names box. There has been a bit of messing around on a particular PC, with viewing various PST files etc. and now there is a Contacts which cannot be removed from the "Show Names from the:"...
