Default 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!

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?

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
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.
"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
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!).

"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

email
is
it
via
POP3
or
SMTP feed.
"lorne" wrote in message

ok, at this stage in my setup, i have not

configured
any
email
accounts
on
the server. do have to setup every computer users
email
on
the
server?

The Delegate tab will appear when you configure

"lorne" wrote in message

thanks noel....
there is no Delegates tab there?
isnt this available when i installed small
business

2003?
or is there somewhere else on the cd that

requires
installation

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.

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.

Default Sharing Outlook 2003 calendar

Try to join teh workstation?? i added a user and password to the AD Users
and Computers, the computer showed up automatically. The issue comes when i
try to logon to the domain from the login window. i have the user name, the
password and the domain.. click ok.. then i get the message that the domain
(domainname) is not available.
From the server side, in network places, i can see the workstation but not
access it. Messages says: \\workstation is not accessable. you might not
have permission to use the network resources.

Default Sharing Outlook 2003 calendar

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

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.

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.

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

If you go into Active Directory Users and

if
not
the
close
the
User

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

to
add the Exchange then go into Tools || Email

share
it

I'm new to this and wonder if anyone can

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.

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.

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

hi noel,
well after some serious reading, turns out that the

wasn't
installed. it is now. my first issue is when i go to

add
a

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

so i seem to meet the requirements... any idea of why is

won't

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.

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???

Default Sharing Outlook 2003 calendar

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

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

The SBS box has ISA Server application which is a Firewall but it

How did you try and join the workstation to the Domain SBS network!

Right so the workstation has joined the Domain okay and are you

hi noel,
well after some serious reading, turns out that the

wasn't
installed. it is now. my first issue is when i go
to
add
a

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?

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.

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 ???

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

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.

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!
"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.

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

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

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.

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.
