Hello

Firstly, in the absence of any apparent EBS specific forum I'm posting here in the hope I can get some assistance.

I'm migrating away from EBS and have a couple of servers (2012) on the domain, one of which I would like to install with Exchange 2013 to replace the two Exchange servers in EBS.

The problem is, despite all three EBS servers having been upgraded to Exchange SP3 the schema extension being attempted in preparation for the installation of Exchange 2013 is complaining that the security server is not at Exchange SP3 level when it most certainly is. The SP3 installation completed without apparent problems and the version number on the product equates to SP3.

This whole process does seem like a whole lot of hoops to be jumped through but I'm stuck at this on and would appreciate any guidance.

TIA

Andrew

We recently had an Exchange DB problem and had to create a new one. We transferred all the mailboxes over to the new one from the old one. Now when we create a new user via the wizard, the user is created in AD, but not in Exchange. How do we resolve this?

I understand that there is no longer support for Windows 2003 server/Exchange 2003/Small Business Server 2003.  I would appreciate some suggestions for ways to resolve this.

Thanks in advance,

My certificate expired last week and I followed the guildines to run the Fix my network process.  The process ran and completed sucessfully.  After doing this, all our computers stopped popping up the message that the certificate expired.

It is now a week later and I noticed that the Detailed Network Report is still reporting that I have  a certificate that is expiring in '"less than 2 weeks".  I ran the Fix my network process again and it reported the certificate is expired and must be re-created.  I selected it and hit next and it completed sucessfully. 

I go back and look at the certificate and it still shows it expired on 4-12-13.  If I run the wizard again it still shows up that I need to re-create it.

What do I need to do to resolve this issue?

Many of my client have recently purchased new travel laptops that have screen resolutions exceeding 2X HD... Now when they connect to their office desktops via Remote Web Access: Remote workspace and use the connect to desktop button (RDP connection) The remote session is also in 2X HD resolution on a small 13" screen... I want my clients to still be able to connect full screen if possible  but right now the size of everything in their RDP sessions is way to small for them to do anything without a magnifying glass or something... How can I either adjust the resolution of their remote sessions or at least make everything larger within those remote sessions?

Also since they are connecting wia the remote web workspace I can not see where I can either fix/correct or adjust the resolution these RDP sessions connect at...

Thank you,

Sasha

Dear Experts,

We have a SBS 2011 Standard which we would like to continue to use for AD and File&Print services. However, we would like to migrate mailboxes to Office 365 Business and then shutdown Exchange on the SBS.

We would welcome any tips&tricks along with a migrations workflow.

Many thanks

Oliver

I am prepping to migrate SBS 2008 to new hardware.  Our old server is dying a slow miserable death. Unfortunately, my predecessor took the original disk we received with the HP server with him when he left the company.  I downloaded the iso from the Microsoft website, but that iso does not contain the Tools folder.

I am assuming (for better or worse) that the Migration Wizard was contained in that folder. Can someone direct me where to download the full iso or at least the contents of the tools folder?

I wish we could afford the cost of the CALs to upgrade to Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 but that expense is way out of our budget.

Thanks in advance,

Esyxx

Hello fellow forum dwellers,

recently I've been tasked with figuring out, how the SBS 2011 internals - especially the Console and as opposed to a regular domain architecture - works.

The entire Technet library section for SBS appears to be dedicated to teaching users how to use the console and some rote troubleshooting techniques. Given the target audience for an SBS that's a reasonable thing but doesn't help me all that much.

Is there any documentation out there that can actually explain to me the workings behind the SBS Console and all the other aspects that differ an SBS from a regular server 2008 R2 with Exchange, Sharepoint, WSUS, DC and all the other roles and features installed?

Cheers and thanks,
Fred

Hi there,

I was wondering whether anybody could help me to locate the msExchESEparamCacheSizeMax and msExchESEparamCacheSizeMin indicators for this Exchange Performance Monitor in the following link http://eightwone.com/2011/04/06/limiting-exchange-2010-sp1-database-cache/, I have hunted high and low on our SBS 2011 Server and can't find them anywhere. The version Exchange we have hosted on this server is Exchange 2010 SP3.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,

RocknRollTim

P.S. I was advised by a forum user off the Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server forum to get a second opinion on this.

Hi! I originally posted this question on the Windows Server Backup forum but they told me to post this question on the SBS forum...

I'm trying to restore some files from a backup to a computer running SBS2011 (ie. Windows Server 2008 R2). When I use the Recovery Wizard launched from the Windows Server Backup mmc, I am able to find the backup on the USB hard drive, select the server, the backup date, and recovery type (set to files and folders). However, the application stalls on the 'Select Items to Recover' screen. It shows the server name under available items but nothing populates and the cursor indicates that it is busy. After ten minutes, a popup appears saying:

"The open instance of Recovery Wizard was inactive for more than ten minutes. The wizard was automatically cancelled to allow other backup or recovery tasks to proceed."

After saying ok to this notice, another popup appears with a title of "Windows Server Backup" appears saying Please Wait followed by a status bar that keeps refreshing itself. However, nothing happens and the program has to be stopped forcibly.

I thought it might be that the backup I made wasn't good but I made another one to test and the same problem occurs. There are no events showing up in the logs.

Has anyone encountered this problem before? Thanks!

Good afternoon,

could anyone help me with some networking please.

We currently have a network with a DHCP server (192.168.0.X) and 2 x routers.

Router A: 192.168.0.1

Router B: 192.168.0.2

At the moment DHCP scope is set with both of these addresses in the "Router" with Router A being the first.

How would i go about setting a small handful of computers to use Router B as their default gateway and have LAN access too.

thank you.

I have been trying to stop the SP farm account, spfarm, from password changing.  SharePoint Central Administration is used and I go to Central Security -> Configure managed accounts.  I set spfarm not to change but it makes no difference.  It still changes.  When that happens it screws up the SharePoint VSS Writer service account and backups fail (the password synch script has to run to fix).  When the setting in SP CA is changed to allow password changes, the SharePoint VSS Writer service account still has a problem and backups fail.

Additionally, I have run the two below scripts when necessary to try to correct the problem and it works until the password changes again.  It seems as though the password changes whenever the server restarts or at least once every week or so.  Can anyone help me with this?  I don't care if the password changes on a schedule as long as it doesn't cause the SharePoint VSS Writer service to fail during backup.

Repair-SPManagedAccountDeployment (This checks synch of passwords)

set-spmanagedAccount -UseExistingPassword

This is on a Windows Small Business Server 2011, which runs SharePoint 2010.

Hello,We have MS SBS 2003 running Exchange Server 2003. I was adding new web pages to our company website and somehow did something to remove or lose the exchange server configuration. I'm not very good with exchange server.  It seems as if all of our mail boxes are gone. Is their a way to tell what is configured and if mailboxes exist or are lost? How can I reconfigure exchange server?  User's can't get their emails.

I don't think I deleted anything as I wasn't prompted to say yes or no to anything.  Any helps is appreciated.

Thx

Hello,

we joined serveral Windows 8.1 computers to a SBS 2011 Standard (rollup 4 is installed) server by using the "//connect" mechanism. However, the "Windows SBS Client - Windows 7 and Windows Vista Policy" gpo is not applied. According to gpresult this policy is not processed by Windows 8.1 computers. The WMI filter for this GPO says "select * from Win32_OperatingSystem Where Version>='6.0.6002'". This includes Windows 8.1, doesn't it?

Any idea?

Hi,

I have a Windows SBS 2011 server which I am trying to configure to gets its time from an external source (uk.pool.ntp.org). I have ran the command:

w32tm.exe /config /manualpeerlist:"uk.pool.ntp.org" /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update

I then restarted the w32time service using 'net stop w32time && net start w32time" but this has made no difference. When running the 'w32tm /query /source' command it still specifies the Local CMOS clock as being the source. I've also checked the registry featured within http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816042 and these are in place but the time is still wrong.

Please could anyone provide some assistance?

Thanks

Ed

I inherited a 2011 SBS install that seems no one knew how to monitor. WSUS was set to update every offering ever made and anything that was released later! Needless to say the DB was about 50GB and I wondered what was consuming the disk space.

I was unsuccessful at doing any standard cleanup in WSUS. I changed the products and classifications so I had just one product then tried the Server cleanup wizard as described in many other forums. It didn't seem to matter, running for days it would not clean up and would hang. Eventually I stopped the Internal ##SSEE DB and went to the library and deleted all the updates! I put everything back on line and still could not perform a clean up.

I would like to get WSUS going again, what do I need to do? I am not worried about loosing anything we have a small system with about 25 devices.
