I have a huge 211GB <servername>.bkf file in a folder called exchangebkp on my C drive . I have only 1.5 GB free on that drive. I want to delete that backup file to make room, and know it has not been modified since july 2013, although
it seems to be accessed every hour or so .. What is that file? ntbackup has not been used on that exchange server. also, since i only have 1.5 free, will i be able to delete it?

Hi Mr. Multi,
I would like to verify if you have other Exchange backup at first.
If you don't have a full backup for Exchange data, it is not recommend to delete the .bkf file directly.
About Exchange 2003 Databases backup, here is an article for your reference.

Hope it helps.
If there are any problems, please feel free to let me know.

Had problem with DSL, now have only one tab with favicon matching that tab.
After a storm I had a problem with my U-Verse DSL. I lost access and got a message that it may be due to a problem with the filters on my phones, fax or satellite box. I disconnected all the items that had filters. I was then able to click on a link that AT&T had sent on the message and I got a response, I previously could not get a response because I had no connection. I got pack to the pages on all my tabs by hitting the back arrow on each one. I now have only one tab with favicon matching this WEB site for that tab, the rest all have the AT&T globe. I tried refresh and also opening a new tab and then going to one of the sites.

I got my phone stuck in recovery mode while trying to update I0S 7. I have watched countless youtube videos and read multiple articles to try and resolve this issue. I have done everything but, When i try to take it out of recovery mode as shown it puts it right back in recovery mode. This is a very annoying. Please Help Me
When your phone is in recovery mode, it's like it crashed. The only way that you can get it out of recovery mode is by restoring, and this erases all your data as well.
You can believe what you wish by "reading all over the internet". This is Apple's technical support forum. We do know what we're talking about.
since you have very important photos on your phone, why haven't you been importing them to your computer as soon as possible after taking them? This is how the phone is meant to be used. Keeping critical data on only a device which can be easily stolen, dropped and broken is just plain foolish. Also, did you not back up your phone (as you should be doing with any computer) before attempting any operating system update? As you've now just painfully learned, updates do not always go as planned.
I'm sorry for your data loss, but let this be a very important lesson. BTW, when was the last time you backed up your computer? I'm sure you have important data on your computer. Hard drives WILL fail. -

Here is what I tried to do:
1. Restarted that thing.
2. Cleaned the security log.
3. Installed Windows Server 2003 Hotfix rollup KB940349-v3.
4. Stopped both SBSMONITORING and SHAREPOINT instances of MSDE, SQL 2005, SQL 2005 VSS and tried to perform the system state backup then. Stopped Exchange 2003 before launching NTBACKUP as well.
5. "regsvr32 sqlvdi.dll" in MSDE directory.
6. Renamed "System Volume Information" on all volumes and VSS has re-created them.
7. chkdsk /f was fun on all volumes, no major issues found.
8. Installed Hotfixes KB967551, KB975928-v2 (someone recommended).
9. Disabled SQL Server VSS Writer (SQLVDI errors disappeared from the application event log, VSS and NTBACKUP errors stayed).
10. Re-registered the DLLs as per Shaon Shan's post at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/346fa42c-a476-457f-bcf3-59f87e444b55
The above had no effect on the issue whatsoever, except a little change at item 9 as mentioned.Hi there.
I just had that problem. I saw friday my backup from my sbs 2003, was not completing becasuse it said it couldn´t creat a shadow copy in the external drive... It kept giving me errors os VSS and Volsnap... But strange thing is, i have VSS turned off in all
drives, and from months no problems with backups... So i went in Event viewer and look at it with attention, i saw a error that keep coming up from time to time (because we change the external drive form week to week). And i realize that there's a disk error
event...
Couldn´t run checkdisk from server, dont now why.. So i disconnected the drive, connected to my laptop, and ran a CheckDisk /F /X. ... It had BAD SECTORS! So i ran check disk... waited like 10-20 minutes. And then i ran it again just in case, and the 2nd
time was much more faster, like 3-6 minutes.
I disconnected from laptop, and connected to server. I went to the Backup wizard (in server managment), and press Backup now...
It hang 5-10 second in Creating Shadow copy..... And it started making the Backup :_D
I've seen all errors that were reported exactly as mine. I ran the Hotfix, all stayed the same, i followed all manual steps and still the same... and the problem was always in the external drive, which had bad sectors.
Hope it will help the next person that needs this info! -

Experienced problems with Itunes and research had me delete several apps. I have downloaded Itunes but now I need to download Apple Application support. I have tried a couple of addresses found on Google but got a lot of spyware and not what I wanted. Where is a site that I can download Apple Application support for Windows 7 64 bit machine?
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install. -

That one can be produced if you have an older version of Apple Application Support on the PC than is required by iTunes version 11.1.4.62. (The required version of Apple Application Support is included in the standard iTunes installers, but for some reason it hasn't been updating properly for some folks.)
Let's try updating your Apple Application Support to version 3.0 by doing a standalone Apple Application Support install.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, can you launch iTunes without the error now?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
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.

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:
Log type:

Could anyone give me any pointers on what I need to do to get this working please?
Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

ARCOM BVBAI 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.

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

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.
============== Brian Gerstel Billing and IT Support, Regional Bankruptcy Center of Southeastern PA, P.C.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.Hi,
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.

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:

</Event>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.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Those two links were very helpful! Way better than the one I was referencing. I ended up having to manually do a adprep /forestprep before the wizard would work. All is well now, thanks! -
Moving from SBS 2003 to Hyper V 2012 R2 VM's
Hi Folks,
Apologies if I have posted on the wrong Forum
I will keep this brief .
My customer currently has an old SBS 2003 standard physical server. They utilize the integrated Exchange 2003 system. It now needs to be changed/upgraded due to lack of hard disk space and incompatibility between Outlook 2013 and exchange 2003 amonst other
thing.
SBS is no longer available but as the company has grown substantially in the last few years SBS would have been unsuitable anyway. The company has about 80 user accounts across 60 Computer systems.
I have decided after much research to replace the old SBS2003 system with one new Physical server running Windows 2012R2 Hyper V as the Host O/S.. I have also setup 2 Gen 1 VM's running Server 2012 standard, (NOT 2012 R2). I have then promoted one of the
VM's to be a domain controller simply by adding Active Directory Domain services role. The othe VM will be used as an exchange 2010 server .. I have the Exchange 2010 SP3 installation lying in wait on the second VM but I havent installed yet as it requires
access to domain accounts.
The new Server has about 1 terabyte of Hard drive space and 32 gig Ram. The DC has been allocated 8 gig of Ram and 500 gig of Hard drive space. The exchange 2010 VM has been allocated 12 gig Ram with 150 gig Hard drive space.
What I need now is a guide on how to get this new server installed on my existing network and removing the existing SBS2003 box.
I know i have to attach the new domain Controller VM to the existing domain and allow active directory account information etc to replicate onto the new DC VM. Apparently this can take a few days. I am unsure however at which point I connect the exchange
server to the old sbs2003 box in order to move the mailboxes.. actually I am not even sure if I ever connect the new exchange VM to the old sbs 2003 box. Would it be better to get the DC replaced first. i.e attach the DC to the existing domain.. let the active
directory info to replicate.. transfer the roles, demote the sbs2003 box?? I am concerned that the old mailboxes on the sbs2003 box will then be irretrievable..
Perhaps someone can clarify the steps in sequence that I need to follow to end up with my DC VM and Exchange 2010 VM with migrated mailboxes installed as replacement for the current sbs 2003 box.
Some other notes: Although i have used 2012 R2 for the hyper V host I have decided that 2012 made better sense for the VM operating systems due to the better compatibility with exchange 2010 in one VM and simply because of online advice on the DC VM.
Thanks in advanceThis doesn't really have anything to do with Virtual Server 2005 (this forum, or even Hyper-V).
This is migration from SBS to a regular domain. Look at the SBS forums, or Exchange and AD forums for advice moving from SBS to regular Exchange and 2012 AD.
