A customer told us they emailed two of our people yesterday, but neither of them received the email.  I am also being told the emails were delivered to our Exchange server, but, we cannot find them on the users Outlook.  Also, they have received other emails from this same customer. It is only the email sent at 1:34pm to both of our people that was not received in Outlook.  They have since received other emails from that some customer.

We are using Outlook 2007 on Win7Pro machines using a .ost file.  Our server is SBS 2008 with Exchange 2007.  

How do I figure out what happened to the two emails at 1:34pm yesterday and how to do I determine if there is some problem with Exchange?

This is a New sbs 2011 Install.
I have two separate networks at my home Business. Im testing remote login to the Business Network that the server is on so my wife can connect to the server from the internet.
  Im trying to get Remote Login to SBS2011 working . I ran the wizard to setup server for remote access.
 I can not ping the server name or IP. I can Ping other devices Router and workstations from the other network and that is fine. I disabled windows firewall and enabled firewall on the router I Enabled upnp set up fowarding port 443
 I can access the Internet from the server.
when I ping the Server I get  Destination Host IS Unreachable
I dont know what to try next
Thanks

Hello,
I have a server that is running SBS 2011 and MS Exchange 2010.
We had a power outage, and when the server came back, email didn't.
Yesterday we were able to send email, but not receive.
Today we can't do either.

This system is old, and we are in the process of upgrading to a new server and OS/Exchange - hopefully in the next few weeks - but we need our email up and running today!!

I am currently logged in remotely, via LogMeIn (because the VPN was also reset as a result of the outage - router issues).
When I open the Exchange console, and try to connect to the Exchange server, I get an error - The attempt to connect using Kerberos authentication failed: the client cannot connect to the destination specified in the request. Verify that the service on the destination is running and i accepting requests.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi, just wanted to ask a bit of advice about changing IP addresses of a Server 2011 SBS network.  To cut a long story short I have to create some VPN connections between 2 networks that are on the same subnet and I need to change one network to be on a different subnet.

Both networks are on 192.168.101.x

2 questions really, if I change the second network to 192.168.102.x will that be enough to stop any VPN issues?

Secondly, the network I'm going to change consists of a Watchguard Firewall, Windows 2011 SBS Server and a network printer.  I have local physical access to the Firewall and Printer but not the server.  I'd just like a bit of advice on what device IP I should change first as I don't want to end up losing connection (will be doing this all over a remote connection).

Many thanks

Had user who needed to have their Windows 7 profile recreated to fix a public folder issue.  Public folders are now displaying correctly.

After the new user profile was created with the same name, redirected folders are not showing up.

The folders are intact on the server, in the location where I expect them to be.

When I do a GPUPDATE I get the following:

C:\Users\charlie>gpupdate
Updating Policy...

User Policy update has completed successfully.

The following warnings were encountered during user policy processing:

The Group Policy Client Side Extension Folder Redirection was unable to apply on
e or more settings because the changes must be processed before system startup o
r user logon. The system will wait for Group Policy processing to finish complet
ely before the next startup or logon for this user, and this may result in slow
startup and boot performance.
Computer Policy update has completed successfully.

For more detailed information, review the event log or run GPRESULT /H GPReport.
html from the command line to access information about Group Policy results.

I did a GPRESULT /H  and under Component Status I see:

Printers and drives are mapping so I know GPOs are being applied.  This is only happening to this one user and only after I re-created his User profile on his desktop.

I have of course rebooted and logged off and back on several times.

He does have full access to his folders on the server.

I keep on getting the following failure in the Hub Transport Role and can't figure it out. Any ideas:

The following error was generated when “$error.Clear();
      Install-ContextIndexingService –HubOnlyFilterRegistration
      “ was run: “srcFile: C:\\Windows\System32\naturallanguage6.dll’, lnkFile:
      “C:\\Program Files\Microsoft Exchange Server\V14\Bin\defbrkr.dll’, Error code:

Any ideas would really be appreciated!

What do you consider archiving when dealing with an SPS 2010 2011 exchange server? Or user wants to archive his older emails do you move them to a PST and then help would he get them if you need them later? Do you just move all the older emails from the inbox into a folder in his folder Tree?  Is there any real performance improvement by archiving older emails? And to add to the mix this specific user is on a Mac using Mac mail so not sure if the answers to the performance questions change because it's not outlook

And would archiving answer matter if it was office 365? There are caving more for the benefit of the client machine

Hi all,

We have 2011 SBS server that was set up to send and receive emails for 2 different domains, let's say domainA.com and domain.com.

OWA access, autodicscover, etc were all defaulted to remote.domainA.com.   The UCC SSL certificate referenced remote.domaina.com and autodiscover,domaina.com and all worked fine, even with access to domainb.com emails (which were accessed remotely by configuring the proxy server details in Outlook manually.

The issue we have now is that domain.com is no longer used and we want everything to reference domain.com instead, also some external users are now running Outlook 2016 which seems to insist autodiscover is correctly configured to connect.

Can someone please talk me through what I need to do in Exchange 2010 to make everything default to domainb.com? I appreciate I'll need to re-key the SSL certificate and will need to create A records for autodiscover.domainb.com and remote.domainb.com but it's the stuff within Exchange I need to know about.

Many thanks for your help!

Picked up a job half way through and discovering lots of problems...
A customer has an old SBS2008 but is adding a  Server 2012R2 Essentials to replace the SBS.  Exchange has already been decommissioned in favour of Office 365.

The new server has been added as a DC and the migration started - FSMOs were moved over successfully.  I've been called in to help them make the final swap but I couldn't edit any Group Policy - then noticed that the new DC didn't have a SYSVOL or NETLOGON share.

Looked at the old server and there's lots of JRNL_WRAP_ERROR errors which have lead to this I think.  FRS error 13568 - these have been going on for a long, long time unnoticed.

As this server is going to be decommissioned shortly, are there any shortcuts to get round this.  Don't want to force it off the domain until I can edit Group Policy on the new server.  Also really, really don't want to have to demote the new server as they've installed a serious bit of software on it which we can't easily reinstall without great cost.

Any advice welcomed. Thanks, Ian

Hi my dyndns account is not updating on windiws sbs 2011 please suggest

I have taken on a client that has had several IT support groups over the years. Needless to say, this environment represents a series of break fixes, experiments and failed attempts.

It looks like the last support group was trying to move from Small Business Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard.

They have a daily failing SBS 2003 server, a 2003 Standard Member server (Housing their business application Sage Peach Tree) and an Exchange 2008 R2 server.

The old IT group managed to join the 2008 R2 server as a DC  along side the old SBS 2003 (which doesn't play well with other servers - even though Microsoft says it's doable). This move was extremely messy due to the fact that SBS 2003 comes out of the box with DNS and the Exchange server (they were using before the 2008 R2 install) . Long story short, I was never convinced of the health of the AD.

With the failing hardware of the SBS 2003 server, I decided to shut it down. The network works OK off the 2008 R2 - DHCP, DNS and files service. Unfortunately, the Exchange service is now corrupt and will not communicate well with the AD. Even with the SBS 2003 turned on, there has always been AD issues I could never resolve due to past history mistakes.

So........... I want to start from Scratch.

Remove the old original SBS 2003
Wipe Out/Rebuild the 2008 R2 server with a fresh AD
Join the member application server into the new Domain
Join the existing 10 user/computer accounts into the new domain
