- SBS >> Cannot open shared calendars in MS Outlook 2003 on SBS 2003Small office, using SBS 2003, 5 users using Outlook 2003. Internet access,
File sharing, etc. all running fine. Using DHCP on SBS, Comcast cable access
with SBS running firewall. All users installed okay and all could access each
others calendars in Outlook 2003 as shared calendars for about a week. Then
one user could not access any other persons calendars. Now 3 users cannot
access others. but one person can access one other shared calender.
All users
have identical rights and group access settings. Shared calendar setup was
done correctly initially for all users (it did work to begin with!) All are
regular (not POWER) USERS. I log in as ADMIN and have the same problem.
E-mail and all other aspects of the system running fine. Installed Trend
Micro SBS with messaging, no problems, virus scan ok. Server reports
everything okay (it's lying!)
Do I need to create enw accounts for everyone and start from scratch or is
there a setting that I am missing ni user rights and access?
Any ideas? Driving me nuts!

We're currently using SRS 2000 on SQL Server 2000.
Is there a separate SRS2005 download, or is this a part of the SQL Server

- SBS >> Differentiating between Email AliasesHello All
I have an SBS2003 Premium system with most users using Outlook 2007, some
still on Outllok 2003. Each user has several email aliases, old style ones,
some from a previous ISP (before we had our own domain) and common
misspellings. These all work fine and everything appears in the correct
users' mailboxes.
However, there is no indication which email address was used by the sender.
Each email just has the user's main exchange email address in the header.
We would like to discontinue use of old email address (for which we
currently pay a monthly fee) but cannot tell how often they are still used.
Additionally we would like to do an email marketing campaign, but would like
a seperate mailbox to receive responses to this. I do not really wish to set
up a new user+mailbox for each campaign that we do and thought a new alias
for one user would be useful. I have followed an example elsewhere which
suggested that Outlook rules could be used, but this does not seem to be able
to tell the different email adresses apart.
Any further suggestions?
TIA

- SBS >> 2003 Upgrade Problem - User MigrationHi,
I have reinstalled SBS2003 and have gone to install a client using
http://servername/ConnectComputer and am getting the following error message:
"The Small Business Server Network Configuration Wizard has detected that
this client computer is already a member of a domain. If you want to save the
user's settings you must migrate these profiles before completing this
wizard; you will not be able to migrate them later. For information about how
to migrate domain profiles, see Windows Small Business Server 2003
documentation at the Microsoft Web site."
I have searched the Microsoft knowledge base but can not find how I can
migrate the domain profile on a client computer (now that I have deleted my
old server settings).
Can anyone assist with how to do this.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,

- Crm >> SQL 2000 MSDE Install BombingI'm trying to install CRM for Outlook Client, and I do
fine until just about the end when the progress bar tells
me its just about finished installing the SQL 2000 MS
Desktop Engine. Then it gives me an error message that
installation has failed due to an error, and that MSDE
2000 should be installed separately. There is a
TechKnowledge Article (Document ID 32597) that is close
to what I experience, and it says what registry keys to
delete before trying the separate re-install. I specify
parameters BLANKSAPWD=1 and INSTANCENAME=CRM. I keep
getting the same result: it gets to the very end, then
rolls back the progress bar and just stops. The log
shows that the installation failed at the very end. I've
tried the installation from CD, from C:, and from network
drive, from the cmd line, all with same results. I
accomplished the CRM for Outlook Client install on a
brand new pristine laptop last week, and that worked
fine. The two laptops that this has failed on have had
data carryed over from older machines, and they also have
a program called Ad-aware which I'm suspicious of, but
that's just speculation - I'm grasping at straws there
most likely. Any similar experiences out there?
Thanks,
Ian

- SBS >> Small Business Server StdHello
Wonderif somebody can advise. I have 1 server that runs Small Bussiness
Server Standard for AD, file / print and native database Navision. I am
looking at buying a second server to run SQL 2005 and Exchange 2003. For
redundancey purposes I am going to mirror the SQL to both servers and import
Navison. What i want to know is will i have to upgrade SBS server 2003 to
full blown Server 2003 Enterprise?
I also have a team in based in Sweden who are working on a user group and
need them to access our servers here. I am not entirley sure whether SBS Std
can support Terminal Services.
Would appreciate the help for me to back up my doubts.

I installed CRM 3.0 for SBS using the CRM defaults. It created the website

SBS >> Unable to connect to database STS_Config on myservername\Sharepoin
Brand new install of SBS2003. After application of service Pack one and all
the windows critical and optional updates I receive an error message:
Auto-Started service is not running. SQLAgent$SBSMONITORING is not running.
I reran the monitoring wizard and it solved the problem after a reboot. But
on the next reboot the problem returned.
If I look in System Tools, Event Viewer, Application, I find an erroro on :
Windows SharePoint Services:
#50070 Unable to connect to the database STS_Config on
myservername\Sharepoint.
Check the database connection information and make sure that the database
server is running.
I need to fix and repair this problem so that I can move on to the premium
technologies Disk. I understand that my SBS server is supposed to be running
cleanly before the preimium technologies portion of the install.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Rock, check out this link for several possible solutions to your 50070
error.
http://wss.collutions.com/Lists/FAQ/DispForm.aspx?ID=207
And then, once you have it resolved, I would strongly suggest that after
installing the premium CD, that you also plan to completely REINSTALL SBS at
least two more times. Reasons for doing so are posted here:

SBS >> Unable to connect to database STS_Config on myservername\Sharepoin
I'm troubled by the concept that a SBS03 install can be broken by windows
critical updates.
I followed the links you provided. I do have the referenced DATA file where
indicated.
Restarting the 'SharePoint Timer Services' did not solve the problem, it
returned after a reboot.
Is it true then that I need to do a registry edit on a clean install of
SBS2003?
(I do like the Triple Crown article, great idea)

SBS >> Unable to connect to database STS_Config on myservername\Sharepoin
we have too many people installing SBS2003 that have not encountered your
situation, so it's unlikely that it was simply broken due to installing
windows critical updates. Also, you could have two exact servers (from a
hardware perspective) and one works and one doesn't.
the other suggestion in that link was to adjust the pre-requisite
dependencies for that service ... that's not a registry change, just a
service mgmt change. if that works, then I would go ahead and flatten and
reinstall SBS from scratch and see if the problem reappears.
I'm glad you liked my post!

SBS >> Unable to connect to database STS_Config on myservername\Sharepoin
Rock,
What version of SBS 2003? if you had to manually install SP1, then you
should have the RTM version (first release). If so, do you have the old Disk
3 or the new one (folders dated **I think** 9/2003 or 12/2003?).
Typically, you should install Windows Server 2003, then the SBS components,
and finish the complete setup BEFORE you do critical updates. Just make sure
you have a firewall between the SBS and the Internet.
The SharePoint error you see may be caused by using RTM disk 3 instead of
the replacement: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832880/en-us

- SBS >> New SBS2003I have installed a new 2003 SBS and am now trying to get clients to join the
domain. I am getting an error that says that the domain either does not

can ping the server, so I know the addresses exist. Is there a wizard that
would allow me to redo the setup of the server without reinstalling the whole
thing from scratch. There is currently no business info on the server so
loss of info is no concern. As always, any help will be appreciated.

- SVCS >> SSL Trouble with Reporting ServicesHi all!
I've been given the task of installing RS to see whether or not it's
feasible to change from Crystal Reports or not. At the moment I've got
it setup on my own development machine running Windows XP sp2, SQL
Server 2K dev sp4, IIS 5.1 and RS 2000 sp2. The problem arose when
using SSL, we didn't have a CA so we used a windows 2003 to host our
own CA to provide a certificate to my machine to allow RS to run.
The RS seems to run fine, the sample reports open ok and everything
seems great! Apart from the Report Manager! This has been causing me
problems since the start. We're getting the dreaded message:
"The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust
relationship with remote server."
I've searched google groups and it seems a hell of a lot of people are
getting this as well! I've read through all of them and tried the
various solutions, all seem to fail! The config files are pointing to
the correct address and the SSL connection works with the reports.
I've had a look on the net and it seems to be a problem with not having
a root CA? But RS 2000 can get around this by running the IIS section
of it on the same server that provides me with a certificate. Would
this help at all? Is there a solution at all to this problem?
If anyone has any more ideas I would be most appreciated!
Regards
Ian
P.S
Is there a problem in VS.net 2003 so that when you deploy a report then
make a change and re-deploy the original report never gets overwritten
at all? Seems to be a problem we're having, we're having to change the
location of the report each time we upload it!

- Money >> Money 2003 problem with Passport sign-onI am suddenly unable to sign into MSN Money 2003, using

The password is correct - I can sign-in to using my
Passport password at MSN Moneycentral, I even reset my
password and started using the new one.
As, perhaps, a hint to what's going on is that if I
try "Forgot Password" link, I get this:
Windows cannot find
"http://moneycentral.msn.com/money/2003/redir.aspx?mrcid=507"
Has the link needed to sign-in changed,or has the link
gotten corrupted? If so, how do I correct it?
I can get through to moneycentral.msn.com via my Internet
connection just fine...

reboot the server?
