Sharing Outlook 2003 calendar
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! "lorne" wrote in message ... 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. "Noel All" wrote in message ... 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. "lorne" wrote in message ... 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. "Noel All" wrote in message ... Yes that part of the Password policy on Server 2003 as far as I know "lorne" wrote in message ... um... no, should I be? "Noel All" wrote in message ... Are you using mixture of uppercase and numerals "lorne" wrote in message ... 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. "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 "lorne" wrote in message ... 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! "Noel All" wrote in message ... 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 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. "lorne" wrote in message ... thanks again. they never had a server before. just the individual workstations each with their own Outlook emails (pop3). for the calendar, they would 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!). "Noel All" wrote in message ... 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 is it via POP3 or SMTP feed. "lorne" wrote in message ... ok, at this stage in my setup, i have not configured any accounts on the server. do have to setup every computer users on the server? "Noel All" wrote in message ... The Delegate tab will appear when you configure the Outlook profile to connect to an Exchange server, where is delivery set to go to Tools || Accounts || Next || look at bottom left and see where new is being delivered to. "lorne" wrote in message ... thanks noel.... there is no Delegates tab there? isnt this available when i installed small business server 2003? or is there somewhere else on the cd that requires installation as well? thanks for your patience! "Noel All" wrote in message ... 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. "lorne" wrote in message ... 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. |

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.

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???

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.

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.

Sharing Outlook 2003 calendar
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. "lorne" wrote in message ... 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 ??? "Noel All" wrote in message ... 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 http://www.smallbizserver.net/Default.aspx?tabid=36 "lorne" wrote in message ... 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 "Noel All" wrote in message ... 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! "lorne" wrote in message ... 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. "Noel All" wrote in message ... 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. "lorne" wrote in message ... 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. "Noel All" wrote in message ... Yes that part of the Password policy on Server 2003 as far as I know "lorne" wrote in message ... um... no, should I be? "Noel All" wrote in message ... Are you using mixture of uppercase and numerals "lorne" wrote in message ... 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. "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 "lorne" wrote in message ... 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! "Noel All" wrote in message ... 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 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. "lorne" wrote in message ... thanks again. they never had a server before. just the individual workstations each with their own Outlook emails (pop3). for the calendar, they would 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!). "Noel All" wrote in message ... If you go into Active Directory Users and Computers and go into the Properties of a user do you see any 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 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 || 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 is it via POP3 or SMTP feed. "lorne" wrote in message ... ok, at this stage in my setup, i have not configured any accounts on the server. do have to setup every computer users on the server? "Noel All" wrote in message ... The Delegate tab will appear when you configure the Outlook profile to connect to an Exchange server, where is delivery set to go to Tools || Accounts || Next || look at bottom left and see where new is being delivered to. "lorne" wrote in message ... thanks noel.... there is no Delegates tab there? isnt this available when i installed small business server 2003? or is there somewhere else on the cd that requires installation as well? thanks for your patience!
