Dredd

I have a Windows 2000 domain up and running and wish to add a Windows 2003 server but only as a member server. My question is will that Win2k3 server try to take over master browsing functionality over my Win2k server? I had heard rumors that it does, but not sure if it does when the Win2k3 server is just a member server. Thanks for any help!

SYSVOL share is coming up fine. I have tried to correct the errors on my clients with the links given, yet I continue to get them. No idea on what to do next on that.

It is the only DC on the network. The link you provided is for Windows XP computers. I am currently having those issues on Windows XP clients. But at least they log the error only once when I log in. The Win2k3 server logs the two errors every 5 minutes on the dot. What can I do to make sure it is authenicating properly before the services start? These errors never occurred on Windows 2000 Server.

Upgraded from Windows 2000 Server running SP4

I have tried countless fixes to correct this issue. I have disabled items in group policies, edited the host file, made sure of DFS being enabled, checked on WMI services... the list goes on. Every 5 minutes exactly I get this these errors on my Server after I upgraded today from Windows 2000 to 2003. Had no such errors in Windows 2000 Server nor on any of my clients that run Windows XP. Does anyone have any other clues to correct these reoccuring errors in app log?

We are planning on upgrading our Windows 2000 Server that has Exchange 2000 loaded on it to Small Business Server 2003 Premium that comes loaded with Exchange 2003. Will there be any issues with this upgrade on both the OS and Exchange? Or will I be forced to do a fresh install? What would be the best method for me to backup the Exchange 2k database so that I can place it in the 2003 version? Thanks in advance!

Within the last week my Exchange2k server has been slammed with Swen viruses. I have Symantec Antivirus with Exchange protection on there, but my inbox is still getting full of virus warnings that have been blocked. I keep getting emails about a new update from Microsoft or an Admin sending me an email titled Advice. Also is a pack of failure notices from sites I never sent to. I checked all PC's on my network and none have the virus on them. Also ran the removal tool from Symantec and it said clean. What can I do to stop this from flooding my exchange and my inbox? Any help would be greatly appreciated! -D

Nope didn't remember to back up metadata so unless I find some details on how to manually set this up, I'm going to have to give up on Exchange. Its certainly been one of the most frustrating Microsoft packages I've worked with.

I ran the IIS lockdown and followed the link you gave. It deleted all my OWA settings under IIS and I have no clue how to reset those back up. How do I manually add the right virtual folders and files for it to work right?

I'll give that a shot this evening and see if that corrects it. Thanks for the help so far and I'll let you know if I get it working...

Is that port 500 protocol 1701 or not?

Yes I do have URL scan and IIS lockdown installed. How do I correct them from blocking OWA? That might just be the issue. I would really not like uninstalling IIS on the exchange computer because it is also my webserver that I have 4 websites hosted on. Pain in the butt to have to reset them up in IIS again also.

I believe I am using IPSec. Not PPTP since this is not a Microsoft VPN connection.

Exchange SP3 Using IE6 SP1 as browser On Windows 2000 Pro or XP Pro clients I've tried all the below steps for Internet Tools and didn't seem to help. I set the reg fix to make my server think my IE is version 4 or below to keep WebDav out of the picture, and I've tried SSL which should secure and hide the packets. I have no proxy server set up, my firewall / router is a linksys befsx41 I've checked all event logs and nothing is listed pertaining to my OWA issues. I've tried just about everything I've read and still am not getting anywhere. How do I set up an ISAPI filter and where do I do that at? I'm posted this issue in many forums and right now you are my only hope so far. Thanks!

Well after plugging away at Exchange I got almost all of it to work except OWA. I can bring up OWA with Netscape with no problems, yet with IE it is stuck on loading inbox and can not display folders. I read that it might have to do with WebDAV, yet I forced the server to believe that IE was version 4.0 and prior to keep WebDav out of the picture? What am I missing?
