Working through some issues on a Server 2016 Essentials server and noticed that the remote web access portal site (remote,domain.com/remote) is not accessible internally (on the LAN) but works fine externally. If I ping the site internally from the Server 2016 Essentials server, it replies back with the public IP address of the server. This seems correct and matches what we see on other Server 2016 Essentials servers with Anywhere Access/RWA working internally and externally. Likewise, if we compare DNS settings (Forward Lookup Zones) between working and non-working servers, settings appear to be the same.

Internally, if I enter the public IP in a browser, the page does not resolve. Externally, it does resolve, as does the DNS address - remote.domain.com/remote.

Running the Anywhere Access repair wizard did not address the issue. It completes successfully, but does not allow us to access the site internally on the same LAN as the server. Doesn't matter if I try from the server itself or a client workstation.

SBS 2011 standard to Windows Server 2016 Essentials migration
Microsoft's docs recommend to move the DHCP funtion to the router.
Is there a good reason for this as opposed to moving it to the 2016 server?
Has anyone had favorable/unfavorable results either way?
If on 2016, can the existing scope/parameters be moved easily from SBS?

Installing Windows server 2016 essentials from the sku, it has preinstalled the experience role.
When joining sbs 2011 standard domain for migration, should the wizard be used, or add the AD role?
If the role, is the essentials setup wizard to be run after?

Hello, I'm administrator of a Windows Server SBS 2011 machine which has been having problems with Windows Updates for several months.

It won't download the updates, so neither server nor clients (which use the server as update source) are updated.

When I try to manually download, I get error 8024400E.

On event viewer I've got many ID 16 events with "WindowsUpdateClient" origin, stating "Could not establish connection. It is not possible to connect to the Automatic Updates service and therefore it is not possible to download and update the updates according to the set schedule. Other connection attempts will be established." (This may not be the actual English text, I translated from Italian).

I already had similar problems years ago, but the errors were different.

Under the registry folder I have two keys WUServer and WUStatusServer pointing to http://SBSNAME:8530, so I guess the server is unable to connect to itself?

Migrating from SBS 2011 Window Server Essentials 2016. I have done this migration a few times but have never migrated redirected folders.
I see this info which seems straightforward. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-essentials/migrate/configure-folder-redirection-on-the-windows-server-essentials-destination-server

Assuming I follow the directions are there any gotcha's with the process? I almost feel like it's too easy, lol.

Hello, there is a problem (new one, it wasn't happening until a few days ago) on a W10 Pro client inside a Windows Server SBS 2011 domain. Folder redirection is enabled for all users (desktop, documents, downloads, everything mostly) but suddenly on this one client Word and Excel can't seem to open files on the server anymore. Office version is 2019 Pro.

You can take a look at the screenshot at the bottom: it's in Italian, it says the file can't be opened because either it doesn't exist (it does), it's in use by other software (it isn't), its name is already being used by an open file (it isn't).

If I copy that file on the local drive, it will just work. This happens only with Office apps, Openoffice and all other apps open files in the same locations with no problem.

I already tried an online recovery of Office to no avail, and also adding the server's main share with all its subfolders to the allowed paths, to no avail again.

Do you guys have suggestions? Thanks.

Looking for some help here so we can get the server running long enough for our migration to the new one we ordered. We have an ongoing issue where the server blue screens every 60-90 minutes all day long. I pull the server on overnights and now two weekends and not one reboot or BSOD (currently up time is 2 days and 18 hours). But from history when I return it to the site it will again start like clockwork. So far:

•      I have moved to another power outlet (but power doesn’t seem likely because once I disabled auto restart it always stays on just with a BSOD).
•      Scanned drives both at boot and with external tools
•      Run Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool many times (No problems Detected)
•       Unplugged any device attached (even changed USB keyboard and mouse)

I couldn’t see it being hardware, driver, or a service since it runs clean at my site. I even ran all day today since our office is closed just in case it was some “work hours” thing. No issues. I spent the last 48 hours going entry by entry in the event viewer and found some disturbing items. It looks like we were attacked based on a share we did not create in

DNS Delegation Error

I have an SBS 2011 server I am trying to retire. In preparation of this job I have been running some DNS checks, I seem to have a DNS Delegation issue and have no idea how to correct this. We have two domain controllers, wmkl-sbs and DC1.

Here is the specific error I am seeing. I have also attached a bunch a zip file that contains a bunch of text file from other tests and information that I think might be helpfulDNS-Tests.zip in finding a answer to this.

I would like to setup a test environment of VMs on Server 2019 Hyper-V that eventually migrating all current physicals to VMs. I currently have Small Business Server 2011 standard with a backup domain controller and File server on a given network. I would like to make sure I can safely setup and test the VMs on an isolated network. I have setup a test workgroup for the Hyper-V machine separate from the current domain. Is that enough to prevent any issues or do I need to create a separate subnet for the Hyper-V as well?

I have a client site that were forced to upgrade from Office 2003 and Windows 7 to Office 2010 and Windows 10. They are connected to an older server running SBS 2011. I am getting the security alert that the security certificate has expired for their domain name whe starting Outlook 2010 and I cannot get it stop with the error message. We have not needed a certificate in years until we went to Outlook 2010. Is there anyway to disable the message at the workstation level?

This is SBS2011 which has Exchange 2010 running on the same server.
I would like to let my associate be the Exchange Admin to fully manage Exchange 2010 on his own PC without working on SBS2011.
Is this possible?
I think the challenges are
1. How can I assign him Exchange Admin privilege? He should not be assigned domain admin.
2. What software should I install on his PC?
3. Anything else?
Please help
Thanks

Hi, i'm facing weird issue with an extremely slow Win10 client connected to an SBS2008, other computers are connected to it with exactly the same material and confirguration with novembrer update and it works fine (shared folders access is quick and computer respond quickly).

This computer is very slow, the profile used on this one is the most important (14,4 Gb data), while other user profiles are only 3 to 5 Gb.
It shows difficulties to download emails and access shared server directories.

It runs normally when it is disconnected for this network and connected to another one (without any server)

Any help would be very helpful,

Thank you very much

SBS 2008 AD FRS Error 13568

I have a single server running 2008 SBS that will be replacing with a new 2019 STD server. When trying to promote 2019 to a DC I found that I need to migrate FRS to DRSR, no biggie. Looking at the event viewer on the 2008 SBS DC under File Replication Service I came across error 13568 which is a Journal Wrap Error.

My question is if I enable the registry flag to Enable Journal Wrap Automatic Restore on a site with a single DC where will the SBS 2008 DC pull a copy of the SYSVOL folder from? Or, am I other thinking it and it will restore the current SYSVOL folder and clear the error state that AD is in? I just don't want to set this registry value and the machine will delete the SYSVOL folder and have nothing to restore from. I haven't run into this in an environment with a single DC and want to use caution.

Always best to ask others in a case like this. :)

Thank you,
-Mike

I migrated 10 users from Exchange on a SBS 2011 server to a hosted Exchange 2016 solution. Everything went smoothly using MFCMAPI from http://mfcmapi.codeplex.com to export the autocomplete list to .msg except on 2 Windows 10 machines running Office 2013. I exported the autocomplete msg from every machine on the network before the migration and these two didn't work. When I import the exported autocomplete msg file, it doesn't show up in the list and, of course, doesn't re-populate the autocomplete. These two PCs have in common that they were using roaming profiles. I have gone back to the old server with another computer, allowed the roaming profile to configure itself, exported the autocomplete msg again, copied it to a test PC so I don't keep disturbing the end user, and it behaves the same on the new machine, so it's not the PCs, there's something about those two files or that tool just can't export data from roaming profiles.
I'm stumped and any help is appreciated.

We have been trying to remove Exchange 2007 from an SBS 2008 server inorder to complete a migration to O365 and server 2016.
DC Diag is clean on both the SBS server and the Server 2016.
We tried to remove the Exchange using Control Panel Add Remove Programs and after having issues regarding the OAB and mailboxes we thought that we had some success - however we are now at the stage where it seems to have passed the prerequisites but the uninstallation would not complete. We have now removed some of the roles - however we get the error below when attempting to remove the Mailbox Role. Please see attachment. We have also tried the following:
-Uninstalling using Control Panel
-Right clicking to on ExchangeServer.Msi and selecting uninstall - we get the patch error you can see attached.

We are at a loss now as what to do?

Any suggestions would be appreciated?

Thanks Stuart
