SBS 2008

SBS2008 Remote Web Workplace

SteveC — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 22:19:06 GMT

Hi All,

I have a problem with my RWW and I’m hoping you can help!

I have a nice little server that’s all set-up and working really well, I have been able to leave my office PC on and then go home and connect via RWW and continue what I was doing, great………………. Until Saturday!

I was working from home as normal when suddenly the PC at work started to shut down (I’m suspecting windows update), due to this I lost my connection. I gave it a while and tried to log back in to but no joy it said the pc I wanted to connect to was switched off or not available.

So I thought I’d see if this was actually true as I also have Teamviewer installed (strictly non-commercial use of course!) Up it popped and sure enough my office PC had rebooted and was waiting for me to log on, I did this via Teamviewer and tried to log on to the office pc again using RWW but still not joy, although it would still let me log on to the server and a number of other PC's

So the following day I rebooted the office pc and tried RWW again - still no joy, RWW still thinks it’s turned off!

Tried to log on to the Office PC from another internal PC - still no joy, RWW still thinks it’s turned off!

Using the Office PC, I thought I’d try the connection the other way so while on the Office PC I logged on to RWW to access the server – worked fine!

In summary I can connect via RWW to any of my work PC’s except my office PC but I can still use my office PC to connect to any of my other work pc’s, I’ve not changed any settings but I do suspect a Windows update related issue but this may be just cos it rebooted my office PC.

I’d be most grateful for any help and advise you can offer.

Server 2003 STD -> SBS 2008 migration

MarkSetter — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:26:35 GMT

Hi there,

I have been scratching my head for a while, trying to figure out how to achieve this migration without causing too many issues. I have been finding out that the best way is to start from scratch with sbs2008, especially since the current server is only 2003 STD, with NO A/D domain.

I would appreciate any feedback/advice as to which avenue to take, and if any guides are available for this particular upgrade path, that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Is a firewall router for SBS 2008 important?

John — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 15:06:44 GMT

I'm installing SBS 2008 on a new server for my small business and wonder if the use of a firewall router is redundant since the OS also has a firewall. I used a firewall router with my current SBS 2003 setup.

Recreate the ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory on SBS2008

Migration issues

Matt Beardon — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 09:04:40 GMT

I'm trying to migrate a clients sbs2003 to sbs2008 and after logging into the sbs 2008 box it reports the installation failed.

However, AD is replicating as well as Exchange in installed, Sharepoint is installed but does not work. I've tried running some wisards, move data worked for everything apart from sharepoint data, when I run the internet setup task it reports it cannot configure and to run the repair wizards.

Can I reinstall the wizards and sharepoint? or does it mean a rebuild? I'm running a virtual sbs2003 as the client is using the same hardware for the 2008 box. So can I remove installed exchange/ad parts rather than restoring from tape? (which is out of action as its attached the 2008 box)

MS SBS 2008 hangs after 53 updates are applied

archerstephen — Mon, 10 May 2010 15:18:34 GMT

I just migrated from SBS 2003 to 2008 using David's book.

Everything went well until i started the first updates for the sbs server

the server hanged at configuring updates: Stage3 of 3 0%

I've read in another blog that restarting the server in safe mode could solve this issue, I did and at first it looked good installation progress went to 100% but after that nothing......restarting in normal mode gives the previous message (configuring updates: Stage3 of 3 0%) So im stuck with a server that does not work.

My question can i reinstall the sbs 2008 and do the migration again without ruining anything ??

Outlook 2007 prompting for password since migration

RichieP — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 21:36:03 GMT

Hi there

I bought the book to specifically help me migrate from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008.

Most of it went well but now Outlook keeps prompting for a username and password.

If I type in my old credentials or click cancel, I can send and receive, but it's a pain.

This is happening on both my Vista Business Desktop, and Windows 7 Ultimate laptop.

On the laptop it alternates between asking to log onto my old server name and remote.mydomain. On the desktop it's just remote.mydomain.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Wildcard SSL Certificate Installation

iainbrighton — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:49:55 GMT

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to install a wildcard SSL certificate on an SBS 2008 server? I've installed the certificate in to the Local Machine Personal Certificate store (I can select it via IIS), but the "Add a trusted certificate" wizard won't pick it up or display it!

During the install I left the connection settings as default, i.e. as remote.domain.com. I have a valid GoDaddy wildcard SSL certificate that has the CN set to *.domain.com. I assume the wizard is looking for proper/legit remote.domain.com certificate and ignoring the wildard cert. Anyone have any ideas? Can I manually launch the TrustedCert.exe wizard with a specific parameter for example?

I can manually attach the SSL certificate to the various IIS sites, but I don't know exactly what the wizard is achieving under the hood..

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Iain

Nervous beginner

happyhacker — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 08:44:14 GMT

I volunteer for a charity (UK) and they are buying a new server and SBS2008. My initial question regards the hardware platform. It comes with 160Gbyte drive and we have bought 2 x 1TByte drives to be arranged in a RAID 1 way.

1. Do we keep the 160 drive and use that to install SBS or remove it and install on the RAID setup?

2. Is it normal to default the internal DN to <ourname>.local. I am not sure how this is used by users on the network and want it to be sensible.

Thanks.

Clean installation I think?

Zinny — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:30:03 GMT

Hello,

We have a new client that has asked us to install a new SBS 2008 server. They currently have a SBS 2003 server, a 2003 server as a terminal server and 55 client computers.

If we had install and managed the SBS 2003 server we would have performed a migration but as we don't know the history of the server and there are numerous errors in the logs, I feel it would be too risky! My understanding is that over the past 5 years it has been supported by a number of different companies.

I have spoken to a couple of SBS people and their view is unless you have been supporting a server from the beginning or for a decent period of time and feel it is in good shape it is not worth the stress of a failed migration.

What do you think?

My only issue with a clean install is the amount of time our guys will be onsite to remove the client computers from the old domain and onto the new domain as well as having to reload the terminal server. Can anyone please advise if there is a way to remove the termianl server from the old domain and join a new domain without having to reload it? And what is the quickest and proven way to complete the workstations?

Thank you.

Outlook 2007 prompts for username after migration

Matt Beardon — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:16:50 GMT

At one of my clients sites, 3 of the users are running outlook 2007 (sp2) and 6 are running outlook 2003

When the 2007 users connect to the sbs 2008 server they are prompted for the external remote.domain.co.uk username and password. If they enter it, the prompt comes up again. If they escape and then click connect on the emails come through ok. The outlook 2003 users have no problem.

Is this a comon issue after migration?

Users are logged into the domain on XP sp3 pcs with Office 2007 sp2.

I've tried recreating outlook profiles but no change. I've created a profile on a non-domain pc and it remembers the username and password.

I've tried disabling Outlook Anywhere in exchange. With no effect?

Any ideas?

Cant installed Fax Services on SBS 2008

zolthar — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 08:01:48 GMT

I have submitted this problem in TechNet originally and remembered about this site:

Having issues installing the Fax Services on a newly deployed server with errors on every attempt whether by Wizard or through the Server Manager.

I do have a file ready to go to be emailed with all the logs and error screen dumps etc which I hope will shed light.

Successful migration...so I thought?

aggiedan97 — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:07:41 GMT

I completed the SBS 2003 to SBS 008 migration and operated successfully for 17 days...approaching the 21 day coexistence date for the 2003 and 2008 SBS servers. Everything has been working perfectly with minor issues that all have been quickly resolved.

In an effort to complete the migration I proceeded with the decomission steps just as instructed and the steps worked flawlessley. I was careful to not-check the checkbox that indicated this was the last domain controller...etc...

The SBS 2003 server rebooted and trouble. Instinctively I rebooted the SBS2008 server and now there are issue. Exchange is not functioning and "a suitable domain controller can not be found..."

Restoring from Bitlocker Encrypted Backup

JerryS — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 21:38:45 GMT

I recently read the article about encrypting backup drives. It has worked fine, but I have had some problems trying to do full system restores using the encrypted drives. The only real solution I have found is to connect the encrypted drive to a Windows 7 PC, then share the backup and do a network based restore. This method will work in a pinch, but it has a number of drawbacks. One of the biggest drawbacks is that the NICs in the Dell servers we are using do not support the legacy mode needed for a bare bones network restore, so we need to add a temporary card to do the recovery.

Ideally, I would like to be able to boot with the Server 2008 DVD, connect my USB drive and enter my password and restore the system from that drive. However, this doesn't seem possible. What is the preferred method for restoring from a Bitlocker encrypted USB drive.

SBS Faxing Wizard issues

Matt Beardon — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:53:17 GMT

Hi All

I've recently migrated a server from 2003 to 2008, after a few issues I managed to get the bulk of the server migrated.

However, the fax services wizard stopped working - I have uninstalled and reinstalled the service and stil get the same message - which gives me an option to report to microsoft which takes a while but no solution as yet

The only error info:

Migrating from SBS2003 to 2008 using your book! and a problem...

ensmith — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:07:23 GMT

Hi,

Love the book, and have followed it to the letter so far.

Good stuff and nice to have this in front of me whilst I try and do this migration. Im not sure if you can help, but I cant find anyone else on the web with this problem and thought someone here may have seen this.

Yes, I have followed your intructions to the letter and prepared my sbs2003 box. Run the migration tool on it, and created my answer file.

Now, moved to my new box which is running on Hyper-V sitting on Server 2008 Hyper-V role server.

So I start the install and all goes great up until the end when I get to the page where it checks my server is ready to go. The first time I ran this I had forgotton to reboot my 2003 box so it failed and said that the domain and exchange werent ready and that I had not run the migration wizard.

So I rebooted my source server and started again totally.

Now, it gets to the same bit but now there is only one problem. The new box now says only one thing at this point says that I have not run the migration tool on the source server or I have not completed the migration in the required time scale.

Thats it, I cant go any further.

I thought it could be a time thing but my source server and new Hyper-V box have exactly the same time and date and timezone. I have detached my new hyper-v box from time synchronisation on the hyper-v manager and set my answer file to allow me to set the new server time so I can check the time exactly matches.

So I am stuckand clueless as to whats wrong. Phew...

Advice Need: Best way to migrate 2xSBS-2003 to SBS2008?

Robin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:06:48 GMT

Hi,

I've done a bit of reading up on migrating SBS2003 to SBS2008, however the situation i find myself in is a little different.

Basically, two companies which both have SBS2003 are looking to merge, with a single SBS2008 at the new premises.

Is such a migration possible and even worth considering? I'm assuming one SBS2003 server would be migrated via the SBS migration wizard, and then second would have to be migrated using a more 'manual' / 'hands--on' approach using ADMT?

Any advice or views on this are most welcome!

Regards,
Robin

Help with SBS 2008 Backups

millerc — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:01:20 GMT

Hi,

I have a new install of SBS 2008 standard and it works great and meets all my needs. The type of work I do means that any data I store must be encrypted. I configured Bitlocker on all the data drives on the server which works great and encrypts all my data. I configured the sbs backup wizard and I'm using 2 USB externally attached hard disks. The backup works great but I would like to know if the backup data on the external drives is encrypted. If it is not then how can I backup my data in a encrypted way. I have to store all my data encrypted irrespective of it's location. A consultant I spoke to (and who charged me a fortune) recently advised that the backup data is encrypted but I am not convinced.

I'd be really grateful for some advice on this.

Thanks,

Chris
