[Paypal|https://www.paypal.com> and [Google Checkout|http://checkout.google.com] offer such services. And perhaps your bank offers such service.
You can embed Paypal code with the HTML Snippet. [Search this forum for Paypal|http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=f1193&search=Go&q=paypal]
and is it possible to lock only certain pages with a password - so the site is public but certain pages are for "members"?? thanks
Only a Site can be password protected.
Create a second Site and make a link to it. In the Inspector>Link choose *One of my pages*.

  • How to set up a guest LAN? (small business, simple environment)

    First before getting into my actual post, please allow me to briefly express my sincere aggravation at this Cisco website for it's lack of proper IE 11 support.  When I try to create a forum post, well, there is no way to do it.  The old Create a Discussion link is gone (actually when I log into my profile, the entire Actions pane is gone).  The Ask a Question thing you first see is terrible, it doesn't support IE 11 apparently because the message body field is just gone.  I can put a Title, and tags, but there is no field.  there's also no compatibility mode button anywhere in the IE 11 interface one this site.  I was lucky in that the Actions pane shows up when you click on another person's post.  I don't think Cisco realizes how absolutely annoying that kind of thing is. 
    I have a single 192.168.0.0/24 LAN with a single Cisco SG300 series switch to aggregate all the network connections, a single gateway firewall/router to the Internet, and a few wireless access points on the same LAN.  These are the AP541N's.  My goal is to set up guest Wi-Fi, but have it that guests cannot see or access the internal network. 
    Haven't not actually done this before, I have no idea where to proceed.  I know I can create guest virtual AP's in the AP541N but that doesn't do anything to prevent a guest device from having full access to all of 192.168.0.0/24 computers. 
    What can I do?  Do I have to put in completely new hardware?  Should I be contacting the Cisco Small Business tech support group if the specifics are unique to the SG300 and AP541N models? 
    Any help is appreciated, both general advice but ideally a full solution reply can be possible :)

    Hi Valley ITPC,
    Here are some suggestions regarding the IE11 issue from the support team:

  • Setting up Snow Leopard Server with Address Book, iCal for Small Business

    Hello Folks,
    I have a small business with 2-3 people and I want to setup Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini. I have everything in place, RAID, Backup drive etc.
    What I need is a guide on how to setup the server correctly and how to setup Address Book Server, iCal Server, DNS, etc. I was in IT a long while back but have gone back to my creative roots and sworn off IT but I am in a situation where my IT guy's wife is pregnant so he is busy painting the baby's room, etc.
    I was looking at Snow Leopard Server for Dummies and a few other books. Do you guys have any suggestions on resources for me to read or research that would give me very straightforward steps in getting this setup. I am at a point where I can re-install from scratch if needed.
    For the ease of those that might respond let's assume I know my way around Mac and general networking as a whole.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    Cheers,
    Jason

    Hi Guys,
    First of, I will give you a brief background on me regarding networking as a mac user since 1994. I can setup and network multiple macs without a server in our home and small office. Turning file, print and internet sharing with a regular Mac OS X client version at no problem at all. This would be my first time setting up a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server.
    I'm in the same boat as Jakekub but we do not have a static IP from our DSL provider. We just bought a Mac Mini Server for our small office with 3 iMacs and 1 MacBook. We will just use the server for internal usage and to centralized things out and use some of server's features like Address Book, Mail, iCal etc. I've search the forums and found Orhidy's post here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2148553
    I even followed the sample IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS Server and I think I had it correctly setup initially. And I think I got it all running on the basic setup base on his instructions. So I tried to test my DNS settings via Terminal > hostname then got answer as
    servername.companyname.private
    And double checking DNS again with a command: sudo changeip - checkhostname and was given an answer of:
    Primary address = 192.168.1.192
    Current Hostname = servername.companyname.private
    DNS Hostname = servername.companyname.private
    The names match. There is nothing to change
    dirserv:success = "success"
    But here's another one that bugs me. I tried to follow from "Mac OS X Snow Leopard for Dummies" the command line:
    NSLOOKUP hostname
    and got an answer of:
    ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 192.168.1.192, trying next server
    Server: 192.168.1.1
    Address: 192.168.1.1#53
    ** server can't find hostname: NXDOMAIN
    So does it mean that I still haven't configured my server properly?
    Thank you all for the help in advance!

  • Office Small Business Premium 365 - Setting up multiple Exchange accounts

    Can we set up multiple Exchange accounts on a single Outlook profile using Outlook 2013 (365 Full App)?  We have an email subscription to O365, and we have another email account that's hosted with GoDaddy that's an Exchange account.  I think it's
    possible, but I'm being advised that it isn't reliable (or that it can't work).  I found this TechNet article that seems like it
    should work: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee815819(v=office.15).aspx   However, I don't have OCT with O365 Small Business Premium, so I don't know how else to do this...
    Any suggestions/advise?  Thank you!

    Seems like it is possible.  I was able to add two exchange accounts (office 365 services) into Outlook 2013.  I guess this is possible through Email Accounts (add New...).  Thanks, Microsoft!

    Setting up a small business network using mac and windows??

    Ok that sounds great. What is your actual question as it relates to AirPort networking? Is it: Can I set up a wired/wireless network with an AirPort base station that support multiple Mac & PC clients? If so the answer is yes.
    If, instead, it is how to I configure an AirPort network to support a small business you will have to provide more details on both your networking & computing equipment in order for any of us to help you.

  • How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

    How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
    I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems.  When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell.  I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box.  During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations.  There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb.  After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
    I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation.  I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine.  BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true.  Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box.  After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging.  Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
    From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer.  The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe!  By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost.  Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded.  At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation. 
    PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Back Up SBS
    It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes.  Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason.  Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone.  You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore.  Here are the basic steps:
    Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools.  Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
    Choose the “Custom” radio button.  What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
    Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others.  Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
    Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups.  You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images.  Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency.  Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
    Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product.  If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
    Confirm everything and click “Backup”.  This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
    Verify ISAPI Filters:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
    In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS.  If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
    IsapiFilterModule              %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
    IsapiModule                        %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
    If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
    Set Up Development Environment
    Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\).  For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
    Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory.  This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders. 
    Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane.  Expand the “Sites” folder.  Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
    Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”).  You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name.  NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
    Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
    Don’t worry about testing the connection.  If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV).  Don’t worry about this for the time being.
    Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”).  Click “OK”.
    Configure Application Pools for Installation
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”.  NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
    Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
    Do a search and change this one line from:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
    To this:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
    Restart the IIS Admin service.
    Set HTTP Compression
    According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
    Run the following command:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
    This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
    Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Restart the IIS Admin service.  This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
    NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
    INSTALLATION TASKS
    Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
    Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
    Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
    If you have an Enterprise license, enter it.  For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
    Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
    I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”.  It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation.  My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
    Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
    THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS.  Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button.  Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”.  Hit “OK”.
    Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”).  Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”).  The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
    Enter an Administrator password.
    Choose to Enable RDS, or not.  I enable this by preference but it is not required.  This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely.  Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
    Confirm everything to kick off the install.
    If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful.  I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install.  NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks.  The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
    POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Verify CF Installation:
    The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8.  The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory.  Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
    To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
    This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen.  Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
    Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
    Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
    At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly.  The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start.  Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time.  This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.).  There is no need to restart IIS.
    Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
    In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”).  In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”.  Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
    Lastly, jump up and down for joy!  Hopefully now, everything is working.  Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

    First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
    Second, this is probably your problem right here:
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
    In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
    As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

  • Small Business w/Mac Mini Running Server OSX, Connect From Home Solution - VPN?

    I am trying to setup my Mac Mini running OS X Server (Mountain Lion) to be accessed from users at home (for file sharing and Contact Services). Is a VPN the best solution? (Small business setup - privacy/security a concern).
    Hi everyone, and Thanks for the help in advance!
    I am currently setting up a network for my company (small business) and have a few questions. We have a Mac Mini (mid-2012) running Server OS X Mountain Lion, and 5 MBP's (our work computers- all running latest version of Mountain Lion).
    To summarize:
    My goal = Setup a secure way of connecting the MBP's to the server when our personnel are at home (for file sharing).
    I am switching all of the users from local to network (we didn't need the network functionality when we first setup the server, and we are now expanding our use of it). This is going to occur this weekend, as downtime for the server is needed to make the changes.
    After I establish the Open Directory and all of that, I will be setting up Contact Services (to share a master list of contacts with the members of our department) and we already have some Calendar sharing setup.
    The purpose of this is to enable our employees the option of working necessary overtime from home so they can be with their families instead of in the office all the time. It is a noble cause and I want to set this up the best that I can for them.
    This being said... I'm no Mac Genius, and this stuff can get very confusing very fast. I have read a little about VPN's, and am wondering if this is the solution to my problem. We need to establish a SECURE way of connecting to the server from remote locations, enabling us to pull needed files from the server.
    If anybody can offer some advice on this I would really appreciate it. I love Apple products and I have faith that this is as easy as I've been told it is.
    Thank you very much for your time and consideration!

    No, it wasn't difficult at all to setup in OS X Server. I use a free internet domain name from DynDNS.com. I don't know if they still offer free ones anymore. You can not use VPN and 'Back to My Mac' at the same time as they use some or all of the same ports.
    I'm at work and not on my Mac at the moment so this is from memory.
    Within OS X Server, I enabled the VPN Service (default L2TP) and used my free domain name in the VPN Host Name and a Secret passphrase. This put an entry in my Airport Extreme router for VPN (port mapping).
    Within the client Mac, I added a VPN network connnection (System Preferences /Network). I pointed to my free domain name in the Server Address, used my Server account name in the account name. I think there's an Authentication button that I clicked. I entered my Server account password, the Secret passphrase in the Secret field, checked a box to show VPN icon in Menu Bar and exited out of that. Then clicked the Advanced button and checked the box to send all traffic over VPN connection.
    I had VPN authentication issues at first when trying to connect to test out the connection. I just kept trying as I knew I had all the settings correct and it would finally connect after about 3-4 tries. After that, I sometimes have to connect more than once to actually connect to my Server via VPN. But it does work nice. I brought my MBP into work once to test it out and was able to connect to my home Server via VPN and use Screen Sharing and had access to all my shared folders.

  • Outlook 2013 Constantly Prompting For Credentials - Exchange 2007 - Small Business Server 2008

    Hello, I am having a problem using Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Exchange 2007 with Outlook 2013. The issue is that a credentials box appears in Outlook 2013 when using there exchange account whilst connected to the domain. The box will randomly
    prompt for user credentials, once the user credentials are entered it will either pop back up again and if you enter the details in again it will continue to pop up for around 4 or 5 times before accepting the credentials. It will then pop back up within 15
    minutes and do the same thing, if you click "Cancel" on the box it will also go away and remain connected to exchange however a popup in the bottom right will appear asking for a password even though you can send / receive from the mailbox.
    I have looked into this issue for hours and hours and still can not find a resolution, I have tried re-installing Office 2013 and re-creating the Outlook Profile as-well as as the Windows 7 Profile. I have checked through all the SSL certificates in IIS
    and everything appear to be correct.
    Is this a common issue? Is there anything I can do to further diagnose or fix this issue without having to try to re-install both the server and machine?

    Hi James_wilson,
    Any update?
    Just additional, would you please let me know whether have installed all updates for Outlook 2013? If hasn’t, please install and then monitor the result.
    Please also check if you enable
    Always prompt for logon credentials setting in Outlook 2013. 
    If you enable this setting, please uncheck and check if this issue still persists. Meanwhile, please remove the old credential in
    Credential Manager, then add again. Then monitor the result
    By the way, please run the Exchange BPA on the SBS 2008 server and check if can find some issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • Downgrading Windows 2013 R2 Essentials to Small Business Server

    I need to operate a Server and exchange for my small business. I purchased Windows Small Business Server 2008 Standard which included exchange and no one would help me set it up. So I was told to buy Windows 2012 R2 Essentials and downgrade to Small Business
    Server 2011 Essentials it includes exchange.
    I called Microsoft as my software is Retail from the Microsoft Store here in Redmond, WA.
    Everyone says a huge amount of conflicting information.
    1 - SBS 2011 Essentials does not contain exchange
    2- I need to convert as a downgrade to SBS 2011 Standard which I cant do
    3 - I need the install media and need to call the activation line first ..
    Please help. There is no media I can find out there but I need to do this ASAP.
    Your help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    1 - SBS 2011 Essentials does not contain exchange
    - Correct, Essentials does not include Exchange. No version of Essentials OS includes Exchange.
    If you are in need of assistance to set this up, I might suggest you consider using office 365 for your email.

  • Remote Access to Windows Small Business Server System via VPN

    Same old story: I use macs at home but I want to be able to connect to our small company Windows network over the internet to pick up and put down files.
    Said company network consists of a server running Microsoft Small Business Server and Exchange. The data sits on some network drives (Z: etc, you know the sort of thing).
    I've sorted out email access - I just connect to the Exchange Webmail interface and do all that using a web browser at home.
    Now for data: well, I have successfully connected to our company network using VPN PPTP by following the guidance in Pogue's Missing Manual. The VPN window reports that I am connected to ip 192.168.0.150 which our network guru tells me is the address of the "Internal virtual network adapter on the VPN." The actual server PC with the data on it is at .100.
    Now, he's a great guy and everything but is definitely a Microsoft man only. When I asked him how to browse our network files on the server he told me to set up a network share using Windows explorer.
    So..can anyone please advise how I can translate that action into OSX land? I have searched the Apple support papers but with no success. These days most hits for VPN concern the blessed iPhone....
    I have tried in the finder running connect to server and typing in smb://servername. That returns error code -36 "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in [that address] cannot be read or written". I have tried using the company lan IP address for the server instead and that returns "name or password is not correct".
    I appreciate these things often depend completely on the fine details of our setup. If nothing else, does anyone know a good book to assist here - Pogue is a great basic guide but not really detailed enough for this sort of thing. Failing that, how do I find out what error -36 means? Ta.

  • Connecting to Windows Small Business Server

    I need some help getting my iMac connected to a Windows Small Business Server (SBS). Our office is located in another building that runs a SBS with multiple Windows XP clients. I have a new Intel based iMac located in my house that is getting it's internet access through a linksys access point that is connected to the SBS (the SBS is assigning my iMac a local IP address - DNS server). I have no problems sending email and access the internet from the iMac. On the SBS side of things, I set up a new account on the SBS for the iMac (user name and password). The problem I'm having is when I go to Networks on the iMac, click on the server's name and type in the account information it tells my the alias is not valid. Any help would be great or a link to some web information with direction would be appreciated. Thanks,
    Mark

    Did you recently upgrade the firmware of the TC?
    The new firmware includes a vpn for the BTMM but it is not accessible to users.
    I suggest if you port forward the required ports in the TC it should work but the best idea might be to go back a firmware. 7.5.2 works much better with the older TC anyway.

  • Exchange 2003 Small Business Server and iPhones

    I know that there are a lot of questions on this, but I think mine may be unique.
    Current Environment:
    Small Business Server 2003  All Patched and Current.
    I cannot get any IOS device to successfully recieve emails or calendar items using ActiveSync.  For any other device, Android tablet or phone, Balckberry tablet or phone, Windows phone, all work.
    Symptoms:  I can create the account on the device, and it will verify the account(internally or externally).  This is evident by the check marks, and the return to the account screen in the settings menu.  Checking mail however, bring the 'Cannot Get Mail, Connection to server failed' message.
    Specific example, I have a user Bob.  I can set Bob up with activesync email on any Android, Microsoft, or BlackBerry device; but Bob's iPhone will not work.
    I have run through these forums a few times.  Things we've tried:
    The 'Inhereit Security Settings from Parent' in ADUC.  Checked for all users, and not applicable.
    Verified OMA in System manager, and 'Unsupported Devices' is checked.
    Safari on an IOS device will connect up internally or externally to our mail.company.com address.
    Test Exchange Connectivity reports a correct configuration.
    Recreation of accounts does not resolve the issue.
    No errors reported in Event Log of note.  Some TermServDevices erorrs, but they are related to printers and my rdp connection.
    Restarted MSExchSA, IISAdmin, and related services.
    Permissions of IIS 'Default Website' directories are in line with Microsoft guidlines.
    Restarted the server.
    ried using the internal name of our server connected to internal wifi.  Same results.

    Hi got a new iPhone 4 that came with IOS 6.1.3.   It turns out that I can not connect it to an exchange 2013 server.
    When I set it up it puts checks all the way through like it's going to work, then when I open the mail app and try to get emails, it says it can not get mail, the connection to the server failed.
    I have read that there were exchange problems with ios 6.1.1 and that 6.1.2 corrected them, but I also think 6.1.3 broke connection to exchange 2013
    It works fine, on exchange 2010, and I have other devices, like android that can connect to the 2013 server

  • About SQL 2008 on any Windows Small Business Server

    Hi, I try to install only 1 Server, we need that server run all setting (manage) of domain controller, active directory and sql. Please let me know if its possible install SQL 2008 (What ever versión) on Windows Small Business Server what
    ever year (2012, 2008, Etc.) without having problems with the domain controller, firewall, sharing the SQL to network computer and the Windows Server year and versión we need? Thank!

    Hi,
    Please refer to following article and check the operating system requirements for SQL Server 2008.
    Hardware and Software Requirements
    for Installing SQL Server 2008
    Based on your description, I understand that you want to install the SQL Server on a DC.
    For security reasons, it is recommended that you do not install the SQL Server on a domain controller. So, it would be better if you put the SQL server on a second server or a virtualized server rather than on the SBS itself.
    You may encounter problems when installing SQL Server on
    a domain controller

    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sync TX to Outlook 2003 running on Small Business Server 2008

    I have a TX that worked fine syncing to Outlook 2003.  Our office just upgraded to Small Business Server 2008, and now I can't sync to Outlook. Reading through the manual & forums, it soundsl like I must use Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.  Is this correct, or can I still HotSync it the way I used to before we were running exchange/SBS?  If so, is there any way to have my TX show more than 7 days of past calendar events, as I often need to look back at things over the past month or two. 

    Hi James_wilson,
    Any update?
    Just additional, would you please let me know whether have installed all updates for Outlook 2013? If hasn’t, please install and then monitor the result.
    Please also check if you enable
    Always prompt for logon credentials setting in Outlook 2013. 
    If you enable this setting, please uncheck and check if this issue still persists. Meanwhile, please remove the old credential in
    Credential Manager, then add again. Then monitor the result
    By the way, please run the Exchange BPA on the SBS 2008 server and check if can find some issue.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
