Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install MBCA 2.0 on a Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard (SP1 installed), because I need to use BPA to analyze the server. The problem is that MBCA installation gives me the error: "Failed to configure the event manifest".

I already tried to install it by cmd with "msiexec /i MBCA_Setup64.msi" but I get the same error.

What can I do?

Thank you for your help.

Our company is running SBS 2008.

We are considering upgrading all or our office computers to Windows 10 Pro.  I have one test machine set up on the network and everything works as intended except for the ability to connect remotely using RWW.

When I try to connect to the test computer from home using RWW, I get all the usual logon screens but when I click the final Connect button I get the blue circle of death as it tries to connect.  The remote computer's screen never opens.

Has anyone else had this issue and resolved it? If so can you post the solution or links to same?

Thanks!

Hello, When i try to run the clean up wizard on my up streaming WSUS server it give error "Database Error - An error occurred when trying to perform database operation. This can happen if the database is very busy, if database service has been stopped, if connection to the database is lost or if the post installation task has not been performed successfully."

I have 1 up streaming server & 20 replica's.

Hello

I have an sbs server which keeps telling me 'there is no valid smtp transport layer security certificate ' via the daily detailed network report.

I don't want to mess this up as I already have an ssl certificate from go daddy installed which does not expire until 2017. I don't have any errors in outlook or when logging into OWA I don't get an invalid certificate error.

I have tried running the fix my network wizard but nothing shows up about there being an expired certificate.

I think maybe the expired certificates are self signed ones. I have attached a screenshot of the certificates in the EMC.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Michael

Our SBS 2008 in a branch is DC and file server only, no Exchange, SharePoint etc. is needed, and already have been uninstalled.

To connect to our main domain, we need a standard server edition for trust relationship, which is not supported on SBS.

We have to retain Server Name due to installed 3rd party poftware, so an in-place upgrade to any standard windows server would be great, but we can't find any way to do this. Setup routines of 2008, 2012 and 2012 R2 alway say: "not possible".

Is there any way to change a SBS to Standard??

Thanks and regards

Hi there,

I'm having the following issue with my WSUS setup on our SBS box.
Not sure which version it is, but it tells "Windows Server Standard FE Servicepack 2"

Getting the following error, which indicated the ASP .NET timeout value is to low for executing.
Sadly enough i cannot find the setting to turn this off, or higher the value in IIS.

I have the following sites in IIS:

Default Website
SBS Client Deployment Applications
SBS Sharepoint
SBS Web Applications
Sharepoint Central Administration
WSUS-Beheer

Any ideas where do set the timeout?

Running a fully patched updated SBS 2011 box in test.  Have noticed the last 2 nights that I'm getting the following errors right at 3am.  I don't see any task scheduled jobs for 3am.  I'm looking in task scheduler at the bottom at the enabled tasks.  Exchange is configured on this box.  Both BPA (Regular and Exchange) are running with no errors.  I don't remember seeing these errors in any of my other test builds.  All I've done at this point is Make changes to VSS to eliminate errors as described here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2537096 and also changed the SBS Manager Service account from local to "Administrator" to eliminate the ID 6 errors.

Fearing that this was the problem I changed it back to "local" on Thursday but still received the errors on Friday's report.

Hello all,

I am facing a really difficulties configuring autodiscover for my sbs2008 server, Unfortunately with no luck.

My purpose is to migrate my SBS2008 to office365 but in order to do that I would like to use the Cutover migration tool and in order to use that I have to make sure that my external autodiscover service is working perfectly.

I would like to accomplish a situation where my users will be able to configure outlook from outside the domain and from every computer.

Here is what I have configured:

1. I do have an UUC/SAN trusted certificate from godaddy with the following domains:

• remote.mydomain.com
• mail.mydomain.com
• autodiscover.mydomain.com

2. I have configured the public(External) DNS Records to look like this:

A record - mail.mydomain.com   -- points to my external public wan IP address

MX record - Points to my mail really server

and according to this post: http://www.thirdtier.net/2009/02/setting-up-an-external-autodiscover-record-for-sbs-2008/

 I have configured SRV Record with autodiscover to point to mail.mydomain.com. ( Should I point it to remote.domain.com?? )

3. My SBS2008 server is configured with mydomain.local and notdomain.com so I think this is the cause of my problem.

When I try to connect an external Outlook client I get a pop up from outlook with an error messaged say: The connection to Microsoft exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.

And then when I press OK, I get the authentication pop up with my internal server name: servername.mylocaldomain and on the mailbox window I get =SMTP:myusername@mydomain.com. ( Screenshot is attached )

It seems that I do get to my server from outside ( No firewall issues ) but the authentication or the access to the mailbox is fail from some reason ….

Here are some more details and steps I have taken:

1. I have added a UPN suffix to my domain so it will recognize mydomain.com (Using Active Directory Site and Trusts). I have also changed the users to match according to this s post:

http://terenceluk.blogspot.co.il/2013/10/using-autodiscover-to-setup-users.html

1. I have added new DNS zone in my SBS2008 in order to make the external domain be recognized. I have added A records as well.
2. Changed the Outlook anywhere authentication from basic to NTLM.
3. Reboot the SBS server.

No matter what I do the autodiscover service does not work :-(

I really need to make it work. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi al

Background : SBS 2003 premium, which was a clean install several years ago. No authoritative restores. Migration to 2011 NOT yet started.

I've run the prep tool on the source box and it's identified a problem with DNS, specifically subrule 7. "Error is found in DNS zone".

In DNS on the 2003 box there's no forward lookup zone for _MSDCS:

At least, not in the right place :-)

I've tried following Ronny's notes (I had the same issue on a previous migration) but this time they don't help. When I try to create the zone I get in (seemingly infamous) "The zone cannot be created  There was a server failure" message

There's an article referenced in the comments on Ronny's blog, and when I follow that I don't get any errors (aside form the above) but also I don't get the delegation.

This domain has 42 computers. I really don't fancy the task of a clean install :-) So I'm keen to get this solved.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Jim

PS I also have event 9002 errors in the log, relating to zone dot (.). Not sure if this is related.

I am running Small Business Server 2011 Standard. I had to renew my SSL certificate for remote.evolswsys.net.  GoDaddy is my SSL service provider. I used the SBS 2011 wizard from the SBS console to request the renewal. I pasted that onto the Godaddy wizard and Godaddy renewed it. I downloaded it from GoDaddy stating the type for IIS.  After unzipping the download, I continued with the SBS wizard and pointed to the renewed certificate file.  The wizard cannot import the trusted certificate to remote web access, stating the server cannot install your trusted certificate. Contact your certificate service provider for assistance.

GoDaddy support verified the certificate was installed properly by using the SSL Checker tool found athttps://www.sslshopper.com (see results below).  The certificate looks like it is properly installed, yet the SBS wizard says it is not and the SBS 2011 console > Network > Connectivity shows the certificate as "Request Submitted", yet outside of the SBS console the certificate appears properly installed.

Can someone provide some guidance on how to resolve this problem? 

	remote.evolswsys.net resolves to 173.228.63.55
	Server Type:  Microsoft-IIS/7.5
	The certificate should be trusted by all major web browsers (all the correct intermediate certificates are installed).
	The certificate was issued by GoDaddy. Write review of GoDaddy
	The certificate will expire in 406 days. Remind me
	The hostname (remote.evolswsys.net) is correctly listed in the certificate.

Common name: remote.evolswsys.net SANs: remote.evolswsys.net, www.remote.evolswsys.net Valid from February 28, 2016 to April 9, 2017 Serial Number: 5884498830879426894 (0x51a9f0825fc5094e) Signature Algorithm: sha256WithRSAEncryption Issuer: Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2

Hello

I have an SBS 2008 server that is exhibiting some random behaviour, every 4/6 days a .Net update tries to install on the server and then fails with an event being recorded in the Event Log (Windows Logs->Setup).  The server then crashes the Sage 50 Accounts Service and requests a reboot to have it up and running again.

++++++++++

The Windows update  could not be installed because of an error: 2147943515 "A system shutdown is in progress." (Command line: "wusa.exe "D:\bf008e633cf48a201737cd03ca489912\Windows6.0-KB956250-v6001-x64.msu" /quiet /norestart")

+++++++++++

Anyone else experienced this issue?

Thank you.

Hi, we have a half year new sbs 2011 server. Now we have time to time problems with renaming another folders inour data structure. I have admin and full rights and sometimes when I will rename folder,a message appearsthat the folder can not berename. Then I wait few seconds or minutes, then I try it again and all works normaly. This happenin some folders in our data structure. I tray restart server, client machine, disable antivirus, set up new rights. But the proble is still here. Have someone any ideas to solve this.

Thanks.

I'm hoping someone can help me here, and hope I can explain to where it's understandable.

I work from home several days a week & use my laptop to login to our remote server via Internet Explorer/Remote Web Access when I am in my home office. In my office I have a PC with a dual monitor. I have tried the Remote Desktop Connection and for whatever reason it doesn't work. I purchased a dual monitor and set everything up so the view from my laptop is extended. I am able to drag and drop items from the desktop onto the dual monitor with no issues. The issue comes into play once I log onto my "office" computer via remote web access. I see my "office" desktop on my laptop screen, and my dual monitor is the "extended" portion of my original laptop desktop screen. How do I set it up so that I can utilize my dual monitor the same as I do my office computers dual monitor? I do a lot of screen flipping for my job and a dual monitor setup is much easier but, at this point the dual monitor is pretty much pointless until I can see my "office" desktop on both screens.

After failed Windows Update, reboot circle, we ran DISM /revertpendingchanges.  Long story short, upon restart we get Stop Code c00002c2.  The specified procedure could not be found.  Error status:  0xc000007a.  Can only boot into Directory Services Restore Mode.

I have been told by Dell support that the 1st error can be corrected, however the status indicated OS needs to be reinstalled.

I can export OSTs at workstations to retrieve emails however I cannot access the Public Folder store to retrieve data there.  Need that data, many contact lists.

I have intact Stores, backups.  I need to know if possible to migrate existing Info Store to new install or how to access Public Folders.  I am building beta server first before completely wiping out production server.

thanks,

Hi Guys,

I have a query, I have a SBS2011 Std server with POP3 collectors which download mail, and we are currently looking at moving away from this solution to point the MX records directly to the server to remove the use of the POP3 scenario, I have never actually changed from POP3 collectors on the server to using the SMTP scenario, and just need some pointers, and or tips on getting this right if there are any possible problems to watch out for, my biggest worry is mails start bouncing, obviously this will be done over a weekend to ensure no downtime is encountered and to do testing.

Any and all advice will be appreciated.

Regards

Sergio Spinola

We are migrating from SBS 2008 to Server 2012 Std.

I have read quite a bit about migrations and keep seeing the 21-day grace period from the time FSMO roles are transferred until the SBS will start to shutdown.

Does this still apply for my migration scenario above?

If so, can I transfer roles back to stop 21-day timer?
