IPhone 2g and SBS 2003... Headache!!

Boss has decided he wants his Orignal IPhone now setting up with the Exchange Server, he has kicked out his Blackberry..
Exchange 2003 sp2 with Activesync
Iphone 2g with 3.1.2
IPhone is coming up with 'Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed' when I try over the mobile network.. IF I change the Server name to the internal server name (external is exchange.domain.co.uk internal is server01) then the iphone gets mail, can send mail and everything is working..
so it has to be something external... OWA works and so does OMA (both tested on ie7 from another site so its not the firewall)
Any Ideas? am I been so thick that I should be shot??

Sounds like a server setup issue, not an iPhone issue. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc182239.aspx

Getting iPhone 3G (2.1) to sync with Exchange SBS 2003

Hi all.
I am a rather n on-technical person wishing to get some help troubleshooting my problem.
I have the above new iPhone needing to sync with my calendar, ctcs and email on my work Exchange SBS 2003.
Really need someone kind (and patient?!) enough to take me from the start. Setting up the phone has been easy enough, I think it is the server end that is my real problem.
Have had a Windows Mobile device working exactly as I want the iPhone to work over the last 15 months.
Heeeeelp please....

As I read you updated your iPhone to 2.2.1. That means that maybe this cause the problem.
Sometimes when I connect my iPhone to iTunes I saw the message what says that "iTunes was unable to connect to the iPhone... " but if I reconnect my iPhone then iTunes recognize my phone and everything is OK.
If the reconnecting does not help you then I advise that reset your iPhone with 'Erase All Data and Settings'. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Data and Settings.
If you reset your iPhone with 'Erase All Data and Settings' then your iPhone will delete your files and also the 2.2.1 software update and after that it will run with the original software what you bought with it.
The reset takes approximately 2 hours. And this is delete everything from your iPhone.
So, as it seems you can't back up your iPhone, that means everything what is on your iPhone will be deleted except if you don't have them on your computer.
After you reseted your iPhone, try to connect with iTunes. If it won't works then try it on an another Mac or PC and if you can't sync your iPhone at all, you have to take your iPhone to your carrier for a service.
Important note: After you reseted your iPhone, it will please that connect to iTunes to activate the phone. If you can't connect to iTunes your phone, you won't be able to use it!
As you know, without activating you can't use the iPhone.
If you can do the activation then you probably will be able to sync it.
If you can't be without mobile phone and just the iPhone what you've then don't do that until you maybe could miss your phone (I mean if you iPhone have to be serviced).

SBS 2003 server admin rights dont work access denied on VSS and Network settings

Hi I have just taken over support for a company and have inherited a SBS 2003 Server.
The server has had no backup for over a year (when the last admin left).
VSS does not work, so the back does not work, unable to install any other backup as no admin rights.
I want to repair it so I can do a backup to move to a new server.
I did not know the administrator account password (the last admin didn't tell anyone)
So I used a password reset boot cd and then restarted Windows 2003 in Directory Service Restore Mode.
Copied SRVANY and INSTSRV to a temporary folder, mine is called D:\temp. Copied cmd.exe to this folder too. Next ran at a command prompt instsrv PassRecovery "d:\temp\srvany.exe"
next
Started Regedit, and navigated to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PassRecovery
Created a new subkey called Parameters and added two new values:
name: Application
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: d:\temp\cmd.exe
name: AppParameters
type: REG_SZ (string)
value: /k net user administrator 123456 /domain
"123456 is substituted for the password I used" Im not daft enough to publish it lol
Next
opened the Services applet (Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Services) and opened the PassRecovery property tab. Checked the starting mode is set to Automatic.
to the Log On tab and enable the option Allow service to interact with the desktop.
Restart Windows normally, SRVANY run the NET USER command and reset the domain admin password.
OK so now I am logged in as administrator but guess what I still don't have admin rights???
I can add new user with admin rights and log in as them but they still don't have admin rights Im totally lost??????????? Help please

I'm thinking the previous tech may have renamed the built-in domain Administrator and then created a new account called 'administrator' with lesser rights? He then used another domain admin account to manage the server.
If so, and given the fact that you don't know any domain admin account usernames or passwords, I think you may be in for a move to a new server without a proper NT backup of the SBS 2003.
However, If you can at least log into the SBS 2003, I wonder if you could download and run DIsk2VHD and create VHDs (not VHDX) of the current SBS 2003 drives, saving them to an external USB drive connected to the server.
You could then 'attach' the VHDs to a Win7 Pro computer and gain access to the files/folders, although not the Active Directory stuff. Moving Exchange and Sharepoint would impose additional pain. For Exchange, you could log
onto workstations as each user and export their Exchange mailboxes as .PSTs. I believe you could do the same with any Public Folders.

Of course, the owner could also have his attorney contact the previous tech and threaten legal action unless he coughs up the correct domain admin username and password. That username and password belong to the owner, not the
tech.

Windows 7 updates fail behind SBS 2003 and ISA 2004

Windows 7 update is failing with 'Code 80072EFD'. I am using SBS 2003 with ISA 2004. We just recently updated the client machine from Windows XP. WSUS is completely disabled from SBS 2003 and all updates are download directly from windows
update server. Updates were working fine before we updated the machine to Windows 7.
How can I fix updates for the Windows 7 machine?

Hi,
Based on your description, please refer to following article and check if can help you.

How to achieve streaming audio and video with SBS 2003

Basic Fact: SBS 2003 is frozen at SP1. I am connecting to Verizon DSL--now Frontier DSL-- using their DSL modem, which is a Linksys 7550 modem. The gateway on the modem card is 192.168.254.254. Communication to and from the internet
works, but there is apparently a lot of noise on the line and SBS2003 responds by disconnecting the WAN line. I have to get to the Network Connections page, select the WAN connector, right-click it and tell it to repair itself (an image that is definitely
R-rated). Where can tell the system to not disable the WAN line if it detect some noise? This process of repairing the line is inconnevient when I am in the room with the SBS box, and impossible if I am trying to stream video to the set in the
living-room.

Hi Hollis:
It is not clear why the server is in play here. If you have a "better than average" firewall at the edge you can use SBS in a single NIC config and from your living room go straight to the internet through the firewall and the ISP device
without impacting the SBS other than for DNS.
And if you don't care about who accesses your internal network from the internet a "better than average" firewall would not be required.
Larry Struckmeyer[MVP] If your question is answered please mark the response as the answer so that others can benefit.
Larry,
Thanks for the reply. What you are really saying is that SBS server is so complicated and. because so little is documented about its guts and internal workings, that it is better to treat it as a black box and use an external solution. That is a sad commentary
on a really good product, even if I am frozen at 2003 SP1. There really has to be somewhere that the wan line is set to be disabled on the lowest level of noise. There should be a means of boosting that trigger level. If we just knew where it is done.
Given that that we really are dealing with a black box here, can you give me the names of a few firewalls qualifying as "better than average". I do recognizing that I am living at that queasy stage where any major catastrophy with the server will
cause complete abandonment of the server, and all the conveniences it provides. When the motherboard died last time I bit the bullet and replaced it at not too great a cost. So, here we are again--do I convert to just Frontier security offerings and google
apps. Google is notorius for providing no support. Then again, the Microsoft products are so bloated that I use less than 10% of any one. Fortunately, that 10% has really never needed any support. And I have pretty much given up pondering the use of XML due
to a dirth of info from Microsoft about it. Sigh. I think I had better take a dramamine before going farther into the murk here.

Downloading from Gmail to both iPhone and Outllok 2003

Just got my wife an iPhone and have a problem getting emails from her Gmail account to go to both the iPhone and Outlook 2003 running on her Dell.
Here is the hierarchy of "grabs" off the Gmail server:
iPhone ON, Outlook OFF - email goes to iPhone, then to Outlook when Outlook is turned on.
iPhone ON, Outlook ON - email goes to Outlook only, never makes it to iPhone.
Settings - on Outlook, POP, leave copy on server; on Gmail, POP and IMAP both activated, leave copy on server. iPhone tried using both POP and IMAP to retrieve Gmail mesages.
Striking out after looking at all the info I have found on iPhone and on Gmail forums. The current low tech solution is to turn off Outlook when we want messages to be received on the iPhone.
Would appreciate any suggestions.

With a POP account, only one email client can access the incoming mail server at a time.
If Outlook is checking the incoming mail server for new messages and/or downloading new messages received at the incoming mail server while the iPhone's Mail client does the same, the incoming mail server will be temporarily locked preventing the iPhone's Mail client from doing so and vice versa.
This is not a problem with an IMAP account, and a Gmail account can be accessed as an IMAP account or a POP account.
I suggest creating/accessing the account as an IMAP account with Outlook and the same with the iPhone's Mail client, which provides for keeping all server stored mailboxes with the account synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
Gmail provides the recommended account settings for accessing the account as an IMAP account with Outlook and with the iPhone's Mail client.

Migrate SBS 2003 with AD and Exchange to Windows Server 2012 Standard

We are using SBS 2003 and we have configured Exchange server and AD with DNS and DHCP. Now we are planning to move SBS 2003 to Separate servers like windows server 2012 standard AD with DNS and DHCP and Windows server 2012 Standard with Exchange
2010.
Is it Possible?? we need step by step guide.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You probably would not find any step by step guide for this kind of migrations. If you are not comfortable with doing such migrations I would recommend to if you need to do it your self do some test migrations. Or otherwise get help by a local IT company
that is familiar with migrations.
But to give you some information, first thing before starting a migration is check the health of your SBS 2003 server / domain. Use tools like dcdiag, netdiag and best practice analyzer. I wrote a blog post about steps to think about before you start this
might help: http://blog.ronnypot.nl/?p=914
When every thing is clean you can start adding the new windows server 2012 machines as member servers to your domain.
Next you can promote one of the servers to additional domain controller on your domain (Keep in mind SBS needs to hold all FSMO roles so moving these is the last step your should do.) Also promoting a windows server 2012 to domain controller has slightly
changed, you need to install the ADDS role and follow the wizard to promote the server to a DC.
With installation of the new DC install DNS allongsite it will automatic replicate settings during confiugration.
DHCP must be installed manual, depending on your scope and settings it might be as easy to create a new scope and disable the old dhcp server.
On the server Exchange needs to be installed, make sure you install and do all pre-requirements. Than install Exchange it will automaticly detect you already have an Exchange organization and is installed as additional server. You can configure all settings
and when everything is configured right you start moving mailboxes.
When everything is moved away from the SBS 2003 server, uninstall exchange, move the FSMO roles to the new DC and after that demote the sbs 2003 server so it is not listed anymore as an additional DC in the domain. Last would be shutdown the server and remove
all records left in AD and DNS.
There is this guide for migrating SBS 2003 to windows server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010, this might give you some usefull information, not everything will be the same but it is a good start:

Unable to reach Internet on SBS 2003 R2 domain.

I have a 2 NIC SBS 2003 R2 setup. Comcast Modem >> SBS 2003R2 Server >>> Dell Switch >>> Clients
The following clients have internet access: XP Pro Machines, iPhones, T-Mobile phones (through WiFi), etc etc.
My three new Windows 7 Pro machines can access all local resources, shares and printers BUT Can Not reach the internet.
I have no ISA running. I have run all the usual fixes such as IPCONFIG /flush dns, etc. I am very experienced and am totally at a loss for this issue. I even bought an additional 5 client / device access lic. and that did not resolve the issue...
It is only my Windows 7 Pro machines having a issue...
The one work around I have put in place is I have a block of 5 static public IP addresses. I can assign one of those addresses to point to the local (internal) ip address assigned by DHCP and the machine will then have access to the internet. I don't
like doing it this way and I should not have to...

Is the SBS server your gateway? If you do an ipconfig /all do you see the correct gateway IP address listed?
What does the network icon look like in the notification area? Is there a warning?

Best way to sync Outlook 2007 calendar with Exchange on SBS 2003

I currently have Vista and Outlook 2007.
My email, contacts and calendar are all in a OST file, which syncs to our Windows SBS 2003 server and the Exchange installed on it.
How should I configure my iPhone and iTunes, in order to have my calendar in iPhone?
After trying for several times to sync through iTunes without any success (could never have any items imported to the iPhone) I did create an Exchange account on my iPhone with the IP address of our SBS server, and my account details, and now all my items seem to appear (however they all have Accept/Maybe/Refuse buttons).
Is this the correct way? Will I get alarms for my appointments, even if I don't accept them on the iPhone?
Thank you!

OK, I think I figured it out, with Apple's iCloud instructions and a little help from campus tech support. This only applies to people using Outlook with Microsoft Exchange.
Enable iCloud on your computer (running Lion) and your iPhone. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Then go to your iPhone's Mail icon, click on Add Account > Microsoft Exchange and enter your login info.
Doing this transferred my work email and calendar to my phone wirelessly.

SBS 2003 R2 premium (with ISA 2004) Exchange ActiveSync not working

A client has a SBS 2003 R2 premium (with ISA 2004) and wants to sync iPhones and Android phones.
When using the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer and selecting 'Exchange ActiveSync' we get 'The test of the FolderSync command failed. Exchange ActiveSync returned an HTTP
500 response.'
We tried every solution we could find on the internet, without success.
This is what we tried and checked so far:
- fixed IP, DNS, trusted SSL (comodo) seem all OK
- Exchange 2003 SP2 and ISA 2004 SP3 installed.
- RWW and OWA working fine.
- tests with iPhone and Android -> 'cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed'.
- event viewer reveals no further clues.
- ran CEICW several times enabling and disabling most remote options (OWA OMA,...)
- manually checked all vDir settings in IIS6
- tested with different accounts, created a testaccount without any administrative privileges in Active Directory.
- surfing to servername/microsoft-server-activesync from local network and to domain/microsoft-server-ActiveSync from external computer both give: HTTP 501/HTTP 505 error as expected.
- reset the default virtual directories
- on ISA a query by dest port (443) shows traffic reaching the ISA server ending in:

I used to have a SBS2003 on ISA running activesync with no issues so I'll try and give you guidance although it's been a while. I gather this is the first time use of this feature on this SBS? If so make sure you follow the instructions here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc182239.aspx
Also make sure you've enabled all mobile services in exchange features and updated your users with the Mobile User profile (I think they need to be members of the Mobile and Remote Web Workplace groups in Manage Users IIRC). Anything in the event logs?
Also, for some phones you need to manually download the certificate if you use a self-signed type.
Note that in the end it may be time to replace this soon to be unsupported ISA with a separate firewall (or a "free" Untangle box) and go to a one NIC solution. It simplifies things and you need to do that anyway to transition off SBS2003 when it is
unsupported next year.

Client PC migration fails from SBS 2003 to SBS 2012 Essentials

Please check out this entire message before making an assumption about what it says, thanks.
Our old SBS 2003 Server hard failed a few weeks ago.
Rather than repair it, we ordered a new server with SBS 2012 Essentials and loaded the backup data from the old server.
The Server is just fine. We are having no issues whatsoever with the server. I kept the old domain name and server name.
The Client Computers, some Win7 some Win8.1, have turned into a nightmare to re-connect.
What happens is, the user can log in, but has no files in desktop, downloads or documents, nothing has been migrated:
The process I'm using is this:
1> I take them off the old domain and set them up as workgroup: NOGROUP... that works fine.
2> I bring up http://SERVERNAME/connect and begin installing the server software, no problem yet...
        >> This goes to a point where it asks for a restart, followed by a lot more waiting.
        >> Eventually it crashes with a message I have, unfortunately, not documented (sorry).
3> When I restart the PC, I'm able to log into the user account : DOM\username, but none of the users files are there.
Looking at the file tree at C:\Users I see a folder structure like this:
C:\Users
        |_ _client.setup_ (essentially empty)
        |_ username         (the old account... and yes, it has all of the files and app data)
        |_ username.DOM (the new account, but essentially empty)
It appears that the setup was supposed to migrate 'username' thru '_client.setup_ into 'username.DOM' but failed.
I can move all of the data from 'username' to 'username.DOM' to solve the data and files problem.
But the AppData folder cannot be moved in its entirety (I tried, and it clobbers the user completely), I have to manually transfer files from 'username\AppData' folders (Local, LocalLow and Roaming) making sure to transfer only the files that don't exist
in the 'username.DOM\Appdata' folders.
I realize that this process leaves me with a 'Less Than Perfect' AppData setup.
Since I have many Clients left to convert, I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong, or how to make it right.

With a new server with a new domain you have started down the right path. Disjoin and the http:// technique should have worked, but we can address that when you can give us more info.
When joining a new domain the old users profiles get blocked by security to the new users. But the local admin or the domain admin should have access. The way I do it is to copy out the required data from the old profile to a safe place then
copy it back to the new profile when finished. But there are profile migration wizards, one of them at
www.forensit.com, that work very well.
As for the system crash when you did the join... please see if you can get the message, and then examine the logs in both the server and the client.   For the server, look here:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2014/09/30/windows-server-essentials-log-files.aspx
For the client, scroll down in the link above to the section about client side logs.

Attempt to access external website keeps getting grabbed by SBS 2003

Hi folks,
I have an old SBS 2003 server that recently switched their external web hosts. They are configured with the same FQDN for both their active directory domain and their public domain (westsidebaby.org). I went into DNS on the SBS server to simply update the
WWW record and the Windows DNS equivalent of the domain @ record. Now when any internal network user tries to access the website, they get the Welcome to Small Business Server 2003 page on the local IIS. External users can get to the website no problem.
There is also an A record for partners.westsidebaby.org in the internal DNS that points to their old web server and that resolves just FINE. NSLOOKUP from both the server and internal clients to the local DNS server give me the correct external address.
Pinging www.westsidebaby.org from the local subnet resolves correctly as well. I have done ipconfig /flushdns on the server, as well as the clients I am testing, flushed/deleted/cleared the caches and browsing histories from the various browsers (IE, Chrome
and Firefox), all in very logical, intentional order before attempting to type the addy.
If I change a client's DNS server to an external source, I can resolve to the new website just fine. Just can't access AD or server shares any more. Ugh.
No matter what I seem to do, barring resolving through an outside DNS server, typing www.westsidebaby.org from inside still gives me the dang SBS page. I have also setup a HOSTS file to no avail. OMG, I am FIT TO SPIT. Any ideas?

Hi,
This is happening because of DNS misconfiguration. Try and stop Default Website as a test and browse the site. Also check if there is a host header on Default website pointing to westsidebaby.org

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac?

Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac? I don't mean both at the same time. I just think it's silly to buy a separate headset for each. I'd like to be able to sometimes use the headset with my Mac and other times use it with my iPhone. Is this possible? How hard is it to set up and is it annoying to switch over from one to the other.
The headset would be used 75% of the time with my iPhone.

Contacts can be synced direct with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 via the iTunes sync process along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you don't use Outlook for contacts - your Outlook address book is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Outlook address book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data.
Or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6, you can create your hotmail account using the hotmail account preset with the iPhone's Mail app per the instructions included with this link. If your iPhone 4 is not running iOS 6, you will need to manually create the account as an Exchange account.
http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-a-Hotmail-Account-on-an-iPhone
Regardless if you have any contacts available in your hotmail online address book, you should be provided a merge prompt when turning contacts on for over the air syncing with your hotmail account settings on the iPhone, which you want to select. This will merge your existing iPhone contacts with your hotmail online address book and merge your hotmail online address book with your iPhone contacts.
To have the contacts available on the iPhone 5, create your hotmal account with the Mail.app on the iPhone 5 followed by turning contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
Or after syncing your iPhone 4 contacts direct with your Outlook address book, sync your Outlook contacts with the iPhone 5.

Windows 7/SBS 2003 Networking Issue complicated by Verizon Router

I posted on Answers.Microsoft.com ( http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/windows-7-suddenly-wont-talk-to-sbs-2003-server/e8116774-6b4f-44d3-91cf-b10df236805a?tm=1405553282721 ) and here at TechNet in the Windows 7 IT Pro
forum ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1f8b8cbc-4b9d-4f68-981c-4c71e7a3f24a/windows-7-suddenly-wont-talk-to-sbs-2003-server-and-viceversa-possibly-dns-but-not-definite?forum=w7itpronetworking ) a problem that I was having with our Windows
7 computers suddenly losing connectivity to our SBS 2003 server. Someone posted an answer (rebooting our router), which worked, but only on a temporary basis. After turning off the router and turning it back on, we get connectivity back for about 3 days, then
we lose it again, and we have to reboot the router again.
I called Verizon, and the tech I spoke to claims that the problem is that the SBS 2003 server should not be the DNS and DHCP server for the network - the Verizon router should be. He's claiming that the fact that we have IP Address Distribution turned off
on their router means that the router never properly knows where each address is assigned. The fact that this all worked up until a week or so ago, and that it's only the Windows 7 machines that are affected, he doesn't have an answer for.
His suggestions were either A) turn off DNS and DHCP on the SBS 2003 server and have both run through the Verizon router, or B) assign static IP addresses to each machine. From what little I know (I inherited this system from someone who left little or nothing
in the way of technical notes) DNS and DHCP have to be running on the SBS 2003 server since it is a domain controller. B) seems possible, as long as I note the static addresses both on the server and on the router.
This still, however, does not really address the underlying issue. Somehow, I think there should be another, easier way to make this work. Especially since, as I said, these Windows 7 machines were content to run for about a year, and only in the past week
or two started having this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The LAN is all one subnet (it's not a very big office), a 192.168.1.X network.
I don't think the router's firmware has been updated recently, although I can't swear to what Verizon might have done "behind my back" (they do funny things with some of their routers, from what I can tell),
The router doesn't sit between the server and the clients - it only links our LAN and WAN (there's 1 port on the router hooked to the uplink port of a 16-port Gigabit switch which handles the LAN).
The router is the default gateway for all the systems on the LAN.
When the Windows 7 problem occurs, a Windows XP client can ping a Windows 7 client and vice versa, but a Windows 7 client can't ping the SBS server nor vice versa (and in all cases, I'm pinging numeric IP addresses, not the name). Since the SBS server is
the DNS server, the Windows 7 clients effectively lose the ability to go out on the Internet, although some programs that must cache the data (like Microsoft Outlook) seem to continue working so I think WAN access is still up for them.

Active Directory not replicating from SBS 2003 to Server 2008 R2 Standard

I have an old SBS 2003 server and am migrating to a 2008 R2 server. I followed this guide:
http://demazter.wordpress.com/2010/04/29/migrate-small-business-server-2003-to-exchange-2010-and-windows-2008-r2/
I followed the guide (except the exchange stuff, because they are moving from exchange to Google apps for business) and everything went fine.
I removed the sbs from Domain controller status (dcpromo'ed it out) and everything seemed to go fine. I haven't turned off the old server yet, because they are still using it for a couple of other unrelated applications.
After I did this I added new computers to active directory, but they only showed up on the active directory on the old sbs (I think something went wrong when I too the old sbs out of domain controller status).
I ran dcdiag on the new server and this is the result:

I also noticed that the SYSvol share on the new server is empty and the NETLOGON share doesn't exist.
Please help! Thanks.

Do you currently have any relevant errors in your System or Application logs?
Seems like the replication is not successfully.
An SBS server shouldn't shut down upon detecting the existence of another DC as that's a fully supported scenario.
