Reinstall IIS on a SBS 2011?

I deleted IIS 7 and WSUS on a SBS 2011 server. Now IIS wont reinstall.
Reason: Exchange Console did not find the local Server any more and Exchange cannot be administered. Maybe the reason was the Exchange SP3 installation in Sept 2013. Nobody did notice the failure until I wanted to add a new user.
Is there any way how to repair or einstall the IIS?

Hi,
Based on your description, I understand that you uninstall IIS and WSUS on SBS 2011. If anything I misunderstand,
please don’t hesitate to let me know.
à
Now IIS wont reinstall.
Did you mean that can’t reinstall IIS via Add Roles Wizard? Did you get any error message?
On current situation, would you please let me confirm whether you have a good backup. Meanwhile, please refer
to the following thread and check if can help you.

Hope this helps.

Expiring Exchange certs on a SBS 2011 Standard server

We have many servers running SBS 2011 standard. On one particular server (which just passed the three year mark this past weekend) we are seeing MSExchangeTransport Event ID 12015 and 12016, telling us that an internal transport certificate has expired.
Based upon research, using the Get-ExchangeCertificate command, I have found that there are five different thumbprints indicating certificates. We currently have a commercial 5 year cert for the web user interface and AD synchronization.
Looking at the results of Get-ExchangeCertificate | fl, I can see that the first certificate (server.domain.local) goes from 4/10/2014 to 4/10/2015, the second (remote.domainname.com) goes from 8/16/2011 to 8/16/2016 (this is the commercial cert), the third
goes from 8/15/2011 to 8/12/2021, the fourth (this is the thumbprint referenced in the 12015 error) goes from 8/15/2011 to 8/14/2013 and the fifth goes from 8/15/2011 to 8/14/2013.
Reviewing the event log shows that the fifth certificate (also expired) is never referenced.
Several accepted answers on technet and other sites show that running Fix My Network will correct the problem, but running FMN on this server just shows me that my DHCP server is not running (which it is) and it wants me to create a static IPv6 address (which
it did not accomplish.)
What is the best way to fix a problem where important self-signed certificates expire after only two years?
Randy
MCP SBSC

Hi Randy,
I suggest run following command to get Self-signed certificate on your Exchange 2010 server:
Get-ExchangeCertificate | FL
Please collect the certificate which "IsSelfSigned" parameter value is True.
If it is not expired, please binding the existing certificate with IIS and SMTP service. Detailed command as below:
Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint
XXXXX876C45D19BA885E9FA96C48DD0C7DCXXXXX | Enable-ExchangeCertificate
-Services "IIS,SMTP"
If it is expired, I suggest re-create a new one. Detailed command as below:
Get-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint
XXXXX876C45D19BA885E9FA96C48DD0C7DCXXXXX | New-ExchangeCertificate
-Services "IIS,SMTP,IMAP,POP"
Please note, the Thumbprint in the example above in the result of running Get-ExchangeCertificate | FL
command.
Since SBS is different from Exchange server, I also suggest ask SBS Forum to double confirm this issue so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding.

Can't open Acrobat pdf files in document library - SBS 2011

I've uploaded some Acrobat PDF files to a document library in the companyweb (SharePoint 2010 Foundation website) on SBS 2011. But if I click on one of them in the standard view, acrobat opens and displays a message “The URL you have provided could not be
reached. Please verify that the URL is correct and that the network location is reachable.” I'm using Acrobat Reader XI 11.0.2 and Internet Explorer 10.
I have tried a few suggested solutions, eg to edit the docicon.xml file to include <Mapping Key="pdf" Value="AdobePDF.png" OpenControl="AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments"/>, check that the WebClient service is running, and
Use Remote Interfaces permission is set on the SharePoint site. But no luck.
I don't know if this is a problem with SBS 2011, or Acrobat, or Internet Explorer. Interestingly the pdf opens OK in Chrome. It looks like it is trying to edit the document instead of open it in the acrobat reader.
Anyone know of a solution?

I have found one possible solution. In my case the site was brought into Sharepoint Foundation 2010 as a migrated site from a previous SBS installation.
The site was imported as http://servername and the IIS site had a host header with companyweb so that users could browse to it, and all references to the site were as http://companyweb
All my attempts to open the PDFs were using the http://companyweb URL.
I was researching the issue and had gone through everything, but one thing got me thinking when some sites suggested that I look at the permissive or strict browser file open settings. I looked at the web application and it was set to http://servername in
the Central Administration site. I thought hmm let's try opening the Adobe PDF docs with that URL instead, and it worked!
So I changed the web application URL to http://companyweb and tried again and hey presto it's now working.
I really hope this helps someone, it took me a good couple of hours of my day researching to find the solution here.
Some extra info: we are using Adobe Reader 11.0.6 with IE11. Testing with Firefox worked, but that opens the document by downloading it locally and then using Adobe Reader. fix The above actually resolves the problem, it's nothing to do with permissive or strict
file open settings, I set the SP site back to strict and PDFs still open fine.

SBS 2011; Exchange ActiveSync problems in the middle of a migration

Hi
We're in the middle of a migration from SBS 2003 to SBS 2011 and are stuck in the lengthy process of moving users' mailboxes.
At this point, I have about 20 percent of the users' email on the SBS 2011 box, and the rest still on the SBS 2003 box.
Right now I have to quickly deal with an issue that's cropped up with Exchange ActiveSync:
I ran the Connectivity Analyzer for a user (this one's box had been migrated) and got the error below. By the looks of the error, I don't think it matters where the mailbox happens to reside ...
The SBS 2011 box has been set up using a migration install and the procedures listed in the MS migration docs.
At the rate we're going, it's still going to take a while to migrate these mailboxes. (The fact that they began tonight was actually an accident.) If mobile users can't get their mail, I'm going to have a big mess on my hands ...
What do I need to do to get this running properly for all users?
Thanks

Hi --
Neither of the Exchange servers is publicly listed as the mail handler for this domain. Mail is preprocessed by a cloud spam filtering service before coming down. So I expect no changes in MX records -- not even a change in the spam filter's delivery IP
address, since that points to my firewall. I'll forward SMTP traffic to the new server when the time comes.
I was told by MS that moving the mailboxes would not disrupt anything as long as both SBS boxes were up and running. And despite what the Connectivity Analyzer showed, people in this office have been receiving email on their mobile phones all day. I've had
a few sporadic reports of people supposedly not getting email on their smartphones, but I can't see how anything I did (basically just move mailboxes at this point) could allow some people's phones to get mail while others' can't, when everyone was getting
mail yesterday.
I also have an odd report from someone who claims that his mobile phone is processing email just fine, but his MacBook running Entourage suddenly can't connect.
Oh well ... The day is over (at least for the workers). Hopefully by the time the workers return on Monday, I'll be back to having just one SBS box on the network.
The mailboxes are being moved A LOT faster than any of the documents I read warned me they would. One document said that a 75 GB database could take close to 48 hours to transfer. And this server's Exchange database was 67 GB ... But last night's
"accident" (I thought I was only prepping a new database when in fact the machine was actively moving email into it) resulted in about 40% of the mailboxes being completely moved by 8 a.m.. And since 5 p.m., when I restarted the move requests,
the machine has completed the moves of about 20% more mailboxes. So I expect this part to be over probably by early morning. (The ones that remain are the really big ones -- still, after I spent a week doing mailbox housekeeping.)
I was also warned about the lengthy conversion requirements for the public folders. I transferred those last weekend. The whole process was over with in less than four hours. Go figure ...
(The public folder transfer did have an annoying side effect -- I kept receiving warning after warning via email from the SBS 2003 box about a high number of items in Exchange's send queues ...)
Thanks

SBS 2011 RWA "Connect" Button randomly stop working

I have an SBS 2011 Standard Server that recently has had problems with its RWA site. Periodically, the "Connect" buttons on the RWA Page for workstations simply stops working. You can not establish a remote desktop connection via the
site to workstation or server. None of the workstations or servers registered is accessible. When you click on the link, it does nothing and provides no error code.
To restore the feature, I have to restart the RD Gateway Service and Reset IIS. Once the services are restarted the "connect" links work fine for anywhere from 12-48 hours before the next failure. I have checked the event logs and
found no errors as to why the service stops, and when I restart RD Gateway, it still indicates its running. After about every 3rd or 4th failure, you have to reboot the server to restore the service.
Anyone seen this type of problem? The server was fine and stable up until about 3 weeks ago? Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

SBS 2011 Remote Website Not Available in IE

I can't get to my /remote website from outside my LAN using IE. I can get to it from firefox and am able to log in with no problems but am not able to RDP into any resources on my domain.
I am able to log into /RDWeb and /OWA using IE from outside our network...
I thought the issue might have been security settings in IE so I've pointed my IE to another client's SBS 2011 Server and am able to open the site. Does anyone now what I can do to troubleshoot this issue?
Thanks,
Dave

Hello Larry, I never fail to post in the wrong thread... Thanks for your reply.
I did not add a DNS entry for remote.mydomain.com on our internet DNS. I am accessing the site the same way I get to our /owa site. https://mail.mydomain.com/remote
When browsing to the URL in IE nothing comes up, it acts as if the site does not exist. The odd part was that I can use Firefox to browse to the site, log in, and view resources on our domain. RDP connections to any PC or Server in my domain always fails
in Firefox though.
I've been trying to log in my site for days and got the same result every time using IE. I tried it one more time last night so I could report exactly what IE Showed but I was finally able to log in using IE...
Last night before IE connected to the /remote site I went into the session state of the /Remote site in IIS and changed it from In Process to Server State... I did this just to see if I could get IE to behave in a different manner than the blank page...
RWA threw errors when trying to log in from outside the network using IE, I changed it back to In Process and at that point IE allowed me to log in and I was able to use RDP to log into the SBS2011 Server.
I thought I could come back to it this morning and test more connections but now I can log into /Remote using IE but am not able to RDP into any resource in the domain...
I'm at a complete loss so any help you or anyone else could offer is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dave

SBS Update Services not running because it automatically turns off... SBS 2011, WSUS 3.0 SP 2

I apparently don't have the "normal" problems here because I have tried all the usual fixes for this and nothing has worked. I really hope someone else has an idea for me. I have dozens of hours into this now and it probably would have been faster to P2V
this box then start from complete scratch with a fresh install, new domain, create new users, then copy over mail for users.
I can view & deploy updates from the SBS console, but I still get the error when attempting to view (change the software update settings).
Fixes I have tried (in order of attempt IIRC):
Checked all GP settings and "real" WSUS console settings/options probably half a dozen times.
"Repair windows server update services" technet article.
Server cleanup wizard and reindex database
Complete WSUS uninstall and reinstall (don't remember the source but followed directions to make sure WSUS was COMPLETELY gone before reboot, reinstall, reboot again).
KB2720211 (fully broke WSUS)
KB2734608 (got me back to pre-KB2720211 functionality)
I figured KB945985 was a long-shot and after viewing the output log I had high hopes but no dice.
Output log from KB945985:
Changed database context to 'SUSDB'.
Using SUSDB
No work to do. Record already exists.
Automatic Approval For Detection is already enabled
Target group of approval for detection is not "AllComputers"

I also uninstalled WSUS from an old database server on our domain thinking that may have been a problem (used to be DC, but that was two DC's ago).
I have not fully rebooted the server since the KB945985 script or the uninstallation of WSUS from the old old demoted DC, but I have restarted the SBS Console, SBS Manager service, and the Update Services service on the SBS 2011 server.
-Linksep

The error is the title of the thread.
We have Server1, Server2, Server3.
Server1 is 2003 Standard. It used to be the DC many years ago but it was demoted now it sits idle as a VM on Server2. (Server1 holds an old database/program that gets accessed a couple times a year). I removed WSUS from this server. Something that never
got done when it was demoted from DC...
Server2 is 2008 Standard. It is a BDC and holds a database that gets used frequently, but only by maybe 3 users. Does not have WSUS installed.
Server3 is SBS 2011 Standard. This was a migration from server2, and I believe a bad one at that. Migration was before I started working here. Sharepoint isn't used, but everything else is. This is the server with the broken WSUS.
Yes, 945985 is for 2003, but I found 945985 as a solution to someone's problem with SBS 2008 so even though I thought it was a longshot I still did it because desperate times call for desperate measures.
I printed out the directions and checked off each step with a pen as I performed it. I don't think I missed any steps. (Not to say it's IMPOSSIBLE, but it is highly unlikely.)

[Boot] System reserved partition and SBS 2011 located on 2 different drive preventing hardware upgrade

Hello
After a couple of years enjoying SBS 2011 and playing little with it as it run fluently, I faced a storage issue and wanted to upgrade my SSD from 128 to a bigger driver. Problem, after copying the old SSD to the new one, the server won't boot anymore (error
0xc000000e at launch, even before windows startup).
After digging a bit into the issue, it looks like all is because of a bad installation, 3 years ago. 2 drives were connected back then, the system SSD with 128gb and a data driver with 1tb. During installation, it looks like SBS 2011 created the system reserved
partition 100m on the data drive (d:) and windows on the system drive (c:)
So now I am quite stuck, as if I change the hard drive 128gb, I just face that boot error and I didn't manage to find any suitable solution. I tried a repair function from SBS 2011 install DVD, but it does not recognize any viable OS installed. I tried in
command line to check if the System reserved partition was active with Diskpart and it looks like so... but I suspect that it does not recognize the new drive as legit and won't look for the windows directory in there.
If anyone can help me here, I just can't imagine reinstalling everything :(
Cheers

Hi,
Sorry for my delay. Would you please let me know current situation of this issue?
Based on the description, I’m a little confused with this issue. Would you please let me summarily know how
copy the old SSD to new one? In addition, did you refer to following article and check if can help you.
Use Bootrec.exe in the Windows RE to troubleshoot startup
issues
For error code 0xc000000e, it may indicate no such device,
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Adding a 2012 r2 server to an SBS 2011 network

I have an established SBS 2011 network. Remote Web Access is activated and works fine. FQDN is: server1.companyname.com
I added a 2012 r2 server (to be used as an RDS server) and have joined it to the network. Name of this server is: server2. I can access the published apps on the server from within the network by going to IE and typing https://server2/rdweb.
However, I cannot access the server from the web and although I tried a few different suggested methods from various forums, including wiping and reinstalling the OS twice, I have not been successful. I know I am missing something
very important in the setup, not sure what though. And then is the certificate issue.
Is there a step by step process that somebody can help me with, or point me to, to configure the RDS sever to work with the SBS network? I would like to see my users accessing published programs on the RDS server from within and outside the network by
using the RemoteApp and Desktop Connection applet.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for posting.
There are a couple of options here, assuming i am understanding your question correctly, and that you want to allow connections to https://server2/rdweb from the public internet.
If this is the case then i would recommend you use the remote desktop gateway service installed on a separate server. It sounds like you have an all in one setup currently with the RDWEB role and session host on the same server. Whilst you could put the
gateway role on this server it isn't recommended for security reasons.
The other option you have is to allow connections directly from the internet by forwarding https and tcp389 from your firewall to your server - this isn't really recommended as it is a security risk.
Im not overly familiar with the setup provided by SBS, but my understanding is that it uses a pre-configured / customised version of the remote desktop gateway role. So you can't use this server.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 On a SBS 2011 Domain??

I have an SBS 2011 domain with 2 servers(SBS2011 Premium) The SBS box acts as domain controller and the second server runs Server 2008R2 and has SQL 2008R2 on it for Dynamics GP and Dynamics CRM 2011 and hosts the Sharepoint Foundation 2010 Databases. Is
there a way that I can setup a Sharepoint Foundation 2013 farm. Currently both boxes are farm members in the 2010 farm. I would like to keep the setup similar but if I have to can I just run the farm on the 2nd server. Will it live side by side with the Sharepoint
2010 on the SBS box. What about Companyweb? Thanks in advance

SBS 2011 wbadmin to shared folder

I see the phrase "(If you store backups on a remote shared folder, only one version of your backup will be maintained)" bandied about with atypical confidence. However, I have a shared folder to which I do backups. I have a USB drive attached to
that system that I copy the backup to so that the user can take the copy offsite. That secondary backup failed yesterday due to size limitations.
Investigation showed that the offending phrase was simply wrong. There are multiple backup folders in the shared directory. Now, how does one go about limiting the backup to one version? OR, how does one safely delete the extra backups prior to the next
wbadmin scheduled backup? Can I just delete the backup folder without rendering the possible recovery process inaccessible?
Thanks!
--Tinker

Hi Tinker...
You are going to extra work for little end accomplishment. The SBS backup in the Console automates the process so the USB drives can be rotated off site.
Connect two or more USB drives to the server and run the SBS wizard. Test the restores weekly or monthly as your schedule permits.

Migrating from SBS 2011 to Windows Server 2012R2 Standard with 365

Im looking to move SBS 2011 to Server 2012R2 standard and with a 365 migration as well.
Im thinking
BPA for AD (health check)
Add the Server2012R2 as a DC
Ensure replication
Move DHCP
Change DNS
Now this is where I get lost, now Im lost to use either dirsync or add essentials service, I have gone for standard and 30 cals with the option as I have 28 users and the essentials service would make everything quite nice for remote access and backups
etc.... however I don't know whether to just use dirsync with password replication instead ?
Currently Im aiming towards getting the dc up and running then enabling essentials on the dc but I dont know how it will effect SBS and having essentials on the same network and sync'ing people to the cloud ? So Should I use DirSync on a different server
instead to sync up to azure ?
Finally with 365 I have only ever done a migration involving an export of pst's from an exchange box and then on a new domain with new pc's and reimport the pst's on the user accounts in outlook.
However I have read when migrating to 365 was using exchange 2010 there was a application
to move everything across however you needed an ssl cert iirc ? so I dont know how it works now since the nice new dashboard upgrade (assuming the tool has been updated like dirsync)
along with the above how does AD now know where exahcnge if you use the migration app with an ssl cert and is it a case of still running the 365 config tool to configure each user to look at their mail in the
cloud ? Also is it a good idea to enable essentials from the start of the 2012r2 dc for replication top 365 or to use dirsync ?
then finally when replications is all good start transferring the FSMO roles over to the new DC and demote and remove the SBS server
I have seen (below) but i dont think it covers this scenario and I cant be the only person in this situation =\ ?

Server 2012R2 as secondary DC on SBS 2011 domain

I have a Server 2012 R2 core I am planning on using as my secondary DC on my domain. The primary DC is SBS 2011. Are there any issues with simply running dcpromo to add the 2012 machine as the secondary DC? Will any of the FSMO roles be moved from
SBS as a result of promoting the machine as a DC? After running dcpromo, will the 2012 box automatically replicate my AD and DNS? This is the first time I am doing this, so I need some help....

Hi Brady Maguire,
On current situation, please refer to following article and check if can help you.

Joining Windows 2012 Server to SBS 2011 Domain

Hi All,
I have been trying to get a new Windows 2012 Server to join a SBS 2011 domain. The error message I am getting is:
The following error occurred attempting to join the domain: xxxx. The specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted.
I have a bunch of other Windows 7/XP workstations that have joined successfully. I have also tried disabling TCP/IP v6 on the 2012 server and joining the domain with the netdom command. The SBS 2011 server is listed as the primary DNS server on the 2012
server.
What else can I try here?
Thanks,
DR.

I am having the same issue has the OP. I have my DNS settings pointing to the sbs server that hosts the domain and DNS. I am receiving the same error.
