Default Sharing Outlook 2003 calendar

hi Noel,
i dont think it to be too bad as i dont think i want to add any workstations
to it as yet.. not until i move it to it new home. i am just at the setting
up of the DNS to get it online to complete the updates and install SP1.

Do you mean that on your network that you have joined workstations to the
SBS server, if yes then it will be an issue when you move it away

depending
how your network was setup before joining it to the SBS Server. It will

also
depend on how much you configured the SBS Server to look after your

network
for instance if you configured ISA server to act as a proxy for your
workstations this will need reconfiguring. Nothing too major though but at
the end be prepared to loose all the current SBS profiles that your
networked workstations have.

i guess the issue is, since the server is only here on my network
temporarily, will that effect my network once i remove the server and

take
it to its new permanent home ???

Hi Lorne,
I like to have more control over DHCP and dont like leaving it to

things
like routers etc so I always set up SBS as the DHCP server (depending

on
network), moving the server to the new location shouldn't affect DHCP
(especially under SBS and ISA Server). DNS is the one that you dont

want
to
start messing with because it could cause all sorts of problems. The

nice
thing about SBS is almost installs it self and you can typically use

the
defaults as recommended by the wizards. Good site here for SBS

g'morning Noel..... you sure you dont want to come over and help ????

just
kidding. Good news and sort of good news. I dont think that install

went
the way it should have so i am reformatting and starting again from
scratch.
i never got the to do list and that bothered me... so i am starting
over
again.
as for the 2nd workstation, its ip address gets picked up from my

device.
Im at the installation stage where the server wants to be the DHCP

and
i
am
not sure i want to do that... the server is in my basement being

prepared
for delivery. i guess i can leave the dhcp alone and when i install
the
computer at its supposed location, i can reconfigure the DHCP....

right???

"Noel All" wrote in message

How is the new workstation being allocated an IP address, is it one

that
you
have entered or does it pick one up from a DHCP device.
"lorne" wrote in message
...
yes!
and now a new issue... i thought i could take yet another computer

and
add
it to the domain... should be no problem right? Wrong. the

second
workstation won't connect to the domain.... i used the change
network
id
wizard. i get stuck at the domain name. when i enter the domain

name
under
the computer name, i get a message that says the workstation

cannot
contact
the domain.

"Noel All" wrote in message

If you right click My Computer on the workstation desktop and
select
Properties and then the Computer Name Tab what does it say next

the
Full
Computer Name and below that next to Domain name. Is the Domain
name
the
same as what you set up on the SBS Server.
"lorne" wrote in message

its a miracle!!!!! their connected!!! how did i do it you
ask??.....
dont
remember!! no.. actually, on the workstation, i had to add the
user's
permissions and share a folder and that seemed to do it. now,

just
out
of
curiousity:
loging in took a long time (about 4 minutes), is that because

it
is
a
new
profile being created? and
it appears to be a new profile... how do i get the original

profile
that
has
all the programs and data/document files back to the

workstation
(what
i
am
trying to say is, when the user logs in on the workstation, how
do

i
get
his/her original settings and "stuff")
thanks so much Noel

The SBS box has ISA Server application which is a Firewall but
it
shouldn't
restrict a properly authenticated computer from joining the
network.
How did you try and join the workstation to the Domain SBS

network!

no, the work station did not connect to the domain.... is
there

a

Right so the workstation has joined the Domain okay and are

you

you

hi noel,
well after some serious reading, turns out that

the
exchange
module
wasn't
installed. it is now. my first issue is when i
go
to
add
a
user,
i
added
a
password and the message comes up that windows

cannot
set
the
password.
check password minimum length (its set to 7),
password
complexity
(cannot
use any part of users name..), and password
history
requirements.
so i seem to meet the requirements... any idea

of
why
is
won't
accept
it?


"Noel All" wrote in message

You can create the Users by using the SBS add
user
wizard,
the
wizard
can
create a disk that you just insert and run in

the
user
machine
as
I
previously mentioned though it will create a

new
profile
for
that
user
and
while their old data should still be available
but
only
to
someone
with
Administrator priviligies.

Do i have to have them connected to set up

Thanks again Noel,
as a matter of fact, no, the server has

not
been
connected
to
the
network
as
yet. i was trying to get it as ready as
possible
so
that
all
i
have
to
do
is
.... plug it in and step back and let it
fly!!!!
(just
kidding),
i
was
though trying to get most of the

components
installed
and
ready
for
connecting and setting up.
i do have a spare computer handy so i can
try
it
before
going
to
the
actual
network.. (i really dont want to screw up
anyones
computer
during
working
hours..... people get so uptight with IT
guys
when
they
can't
use
their

Usually when you slap the SBS 2003 disks

in
it
will
set
up
the
components
including the Exchange Server bits all

you
need
to
specify
is
the
Domain
name and some IP bits (over simplifying

but
you
know
what
I
mean).
If
you
just want the Calendar you still need to
create
the
Exchange
email
accounts
and usually this is done for you when you
go
through
the
SBS
add
user
wizard. You now need to setup a profile

on
the
users
computers
to
connect
to
this Exchange server or edit an existing
profile
to
add
the
Exchange

Have you joined the computers to the SBS

they never had a server before. just

the

with
their own Outlook emails (pop3). for

the
calendar,
they
would
email
appointments back and forth.
so now they want to set up this server

with
the

they purchased the server and small

business
server
2003
(they
were
told
that this operating system had a small

The most common error with DNS is to put a external DNS address in the
network card, what should be done is to have only internal addresses in the
NIC i.e. pointing to your own server and then in the DNS snap in put in a
Forwarder pointing to the external DNS server.
