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
firewall
built into the SBS? could that be why it wont connect?

"Noel All" wrote in message

Right so the workstation has joined the Domain okay and are you getting
the
same error when you try to log on as a user but its okay when you log
on
as
the Administrator of the SBS domain
"lorne" wrote in message

under AD Users and Computers, the workstation is in there under the
computers, and the user is in under the users. (user is member of
Domain
Users, the computer is member of Domain Computers and Domain Users).
The server can see the workstation in network places.

Okay is the workstation connected to the SBS Server (sorry silly
question)
and have you joined this computer to the SBS Domain, you will need
to
join
the workstation to the Domain using the Administrator settings of
the
SBS
server.

thanks again... yes i used caps and numerals... and it worked... i
actually
went in and reset teh policy settings. so now i tried to log in
on
the
workstation but it tells me that the domain is not available.

Yes that part of the Password policy on Server 2003 as far as I
know

um... no, should I be?

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?

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.
"lorne" wrote in message

Thanks.
Do i have to have them connected to set up their
profiles?

"Noel All" wrote in message

Dont forget that when you join your users to the Domain
that
it
will
set
up
a new user profile for them

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
computers during working hours... hmm go figure!

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
Server.
Have you joined the computers to the SBS network yet.

thanks again.
they never had a server before. just the
individual
workstations
each
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
outlook
shared
calendar.
they purchased the server and small business server
2003
(they
were
told
that this operating system had a small exchange
server
module
included
for
sharing Outlook). I have not done a server setup
like
this
before
(its
a
family business - yea, my family which is why i was
commissioned
to
do
the
job!).

If you go into Active Directory Users and
Computers
and
go
into
the
Properties of a user do you see any email tabs, if
not
the
close
the
User
Properties and then right click the User and
select
Exchange
Tasks
there
should be a wizard to create a mailbox and email
address.
Follow
the
wizard,
once done you know need to create or Add an
Exchange
account
in
Outlook,
to
add the Exchange then go into Tools || Email
Accounts
||
Next
||
Add
||
Exchange || you will need the name of the Exchange
Server
and
the
user
name
|| Follow the wizard. How do you normally collect
email
is
it
via
POP3
or
SMTP feed.

The Delegate tab will appear when you configure

to
connect to an Exchange server, where is
delivery
set
to
go
to
Tools

where

delivered to.

isnt this available when i installed small
business
server
2003?
or is there somewhere else on the cd that
requires
installation
as
well?

To share your Calendar then go to Tools ||
Options
||
Delegates
||
and
ADD
the users and set a Permission level. The
other
users
can
then
go
to
File
||
Open Other Users Folder || input your name
or
choose
from
Address
Book
and
ensure that the folder is set to Calendar.

Hi
I am about to try to setup Outlook 2003's
calendar
and
share
it
with
4
other
computers. I have a box with small
business
server
2003
installed.
I'm new to this and wonder if anyone can
direct
me
in
the
right
direction
to
do this properly.

Thanks to all for any input on this topic.
