Need NL setupdisc Windows SBS 2003 NL to deinstall Exchange and Demote server

Hi,
To finally demote and phase out a good old Windows 2003 SBS server, we need to uninstall Exchange 2003 first. For deinstallation the deinstallation proces needs the second (2) Windows Small Business 2003 setup CD to complete this
step.
Problem is that we don't have the original CD's. Because it's an Dutch Windows version, do I need the Dutch CD also? Without the CD i can't deinstall Exchange 2003. Maybe CD number 2 can be downloaded from the internet? Old Trial maybe? Any help would
be great!

Hi
Best would be to find a reseller in your area to help you out with disks. i had the same problem as well and they came to my rescue.
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

T200v Server with Windows SBS 2003

Just ordered a TS200v Server, can I install Windows SBS 2003 on this Server or will I need to upgrade to Windows SBS 2008?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
SBS2003 is not officially supported, I think only 2008 is. You can try but might be issue with some drivers.

Windows sbs 2003 sp1, windows server 2008 R2

I have windows sbs2003 sp1 & windows 2008 R2 Licenses...I want to setup ERP application with SQL on windows 2008 R2, Terminal server windows 2008 R2 for RDP & Ncomputing & E-mail server for Internal and external use. I have IBM Server with
XEON processor and 24 GB RAM.
I am using VMware ESXI 5.5 for virtulisation and installed one instance of WINDOWS SBS 2003 with Exchange for DC & EMAIL...and 2008 R2 one instance as member server for Application server ( ERP with SQL Express ) and another instance with Terminal server
and other application.
Above set up is not working smooth as it was expected..some times DC fails and so Exchange...Can you suggest any better alternative or correct method of implementation.

Hi
You should separate Exchange and DC on the same server and introduce a second DC incase the first one goes down.
Perhaps install Exchange on server 2008 r2.

Windows SBS 2003 to Server 2012 Essentials R2

I am tasked with upgrading from an existing SBS 2003 server to 2012 R2 Essentials. Currently the 2012 box is on the network, fresh install but I'm encountering issues from there. I joined it to the domain and now when it boots up it goes through the process
of configuring it to the domain. However, it simply stops with the error "Configuration Encountered Some Issues". Could someone provide some guidance? Thanks!
The only error I can find related to it is:

Hi Kieran S,
As Robert mentioned, did you refer to any migration guide?
Migrate from Previous Versions to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials or Windows Server Essentials Experience
Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials Migration – Keys to Success
-->it simply stops with the error "Configuration Encountered Some Issues".
Please refer to Paul's suggestion and check if help you to solve this configuration issue. In addition, you can also refer to following KB.
The Post-Deployment Configuration task may fail after you install the Windows Server Essentials Experience role on Windows Server 2012 R2
If any update, please feel free to let us know.

Problems in connecting to Windows SBS 2003 server from OSX 10.5.x

Hi there
Out of many Macs (all 10.5.4) in our network, I have been able to authenticate others to the Active Directory and share File services of the Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003. But one is having problems. They have authenticated to the active directory correctly from Directory utility.
But when I try to access the SBS server, there is a message "Connecting to smb://myserver..." displayed for indefinite time. Also, I don't find the smb listed in Directory utility. Is that a problem? If so, how can it be fixed? I searched Internet but couldn't find a way to download smb client.
Please help.

It certainly works for me although I have 10.5.2. No special settings, just server address, username and password and it connects. To confirm I just tried it once more a moment ago by creating a new VPN configuration. No problems at all. Is your problem related to a single computer or is it so that now 10.5 computers can connect?

Windows SBS 2003

Just got a TS 140. (0A4 I can not get SBS 2003 to load. I've tried a bare metal restore and even tried the install disk. Both methods seem to be pointing at the hardware controller, (M5015).
Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Technically, I don't see that any RAID controllers are certified for the TS140! (not that I see) That is sort of what started this thread.
As for the SBS 2003, It just flat out won't work. It loads files for Windows but gets a blue screen when trying to install. The error points at the controller (I think), however, I tried it without the controller and it gets the same error.
It does like SBS 2008, a little better, but not much. I can at least get the install to start, but never finish. One issue being it won't recognize any NIC driver. Also, it usually will not boot the same way twice.
Windows 7 and Server 2012 both seem to install properly. Neither of those, however, give me an easy migration from SBS 2003.

SBS 2003 to 2011 Migration - Exchange Server 2010 cannot be installed

I should add that the source server's AD configuration might not be perfect due to this being the second attempt at a SBS 2011 migration install.
I'd be grateful for any help I can get on this as SBS migration has been plauged with multiple setbacks already. I really need to get this done! ;)
Thanks,
Voon

Thank you Larry and Al for your replies.
I used the 'official' migration
guide plus this page (http://www.techieshelp.com/step-by-step-guide-to-migrating-to-sbs-2011/)
as my migration references. The SBS migration prep tool gave no errors on the source server when I ran it.
I have a full system drive image plus a a system state backup from before migration. Though I am very loathed to rollback the migration and attempt a new one - again. I will do some searching to see if I can resolve the Exchange server problem and continue
the migration/installation. If not, then its a system state restore for me. One of Al's links had a resource for doing a thorough check of AD - which something I'd run if I have to another migration attempt.
I am also really tempted to open up a paid MS support ticket for them to help me fix this problem. :)

Upgrade Windows 2008 R2 sp1 on an Exchange 2010 SP3 server

I have looked high and low for an answer to this question:
1. I have Windows 2008 R2 running Exchange 2010 SP3
2. Can I upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to SP1 with Exchange 2010 SP3 onboard?
3. Are there pre-requisites for doing this?
4. If so, where can I get the documentation?
I have spent hours looking through Google and Technet. Lots of information about compatibility of 2008 R2 and Exchange SP1 and SP2.
Your wisdom and experience would be appreciated. Thank you!!
Charlie

Hi,
"Can I upgrade Windows 2008 R2 to SP1 with Exchange 2010 SP3 onboard?"
Yes, you can.
"Are there pre-requisites for doing this?"
There is no pre-requisites, however, as what Idan Vexler mentioned above, downtime is required.
"If so, where can I get the documentation?"
Here are two related threads for your reference.

SBO with Windows SBS 2003 Premium (SQL Server)

Hi!
Sorry for my poor English, I'm french. We have signed for SBO but have a little doubt with our Server OS. We have Windows 2003 Small Business Server Premium (with SQL Server 2000). I don't know exactly the version of SQL (I think Workgroup or Standard).
Can SBO been installed on this OS and SQL please ?
Thank you in advance for your help !
Chris.

Hi Christophe.
I install in Windows 2003 the Standard Edition for Sql server with Service Pack 3.
I don't have any problem with that version.

Can't connect to windows sbs 2003 using Leopard...

Hey there...
I'm one of 3 Mac users at our office. We use Windows Small Business Server 2003.
Since upgrading to Leopard, I can no longer access the network shared folders. Didn't even think about this when upgrading. Our IT guy is strictly a Windows user and is no help in the matter.
Any thoughts (other than re-installing Tiger)?

VPN from mac to Windows SBS

I have created a VPN connection from my mac to a windows sbs successfully.
My question is how do actually access my files on my windows sbs??
I went to "Connect to Server" on "Finder" but I can't access the windows sbs files.
Any help?

exero –
Though this will be a pain it will help trace down the problem.
Since you are attempting to VPN to the SBS what happens if you connect the Mac locally dose RDP connection map the drives and can you map to the SBS shares directly?
What happens if you try connecting with a PC via the VPN?
Also (though risky) I would open all the ports on your firewall that point to the SBS and try connecting to the VPN again with Mac and see what happens. (Don’t forget to close them back).
Below are two links that may provide some additional information. The first is from Microsoft and list all of the ports used by MS products. The second one is a public post that focuses on SBS 2003.

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.
