This is a different newsgroup. This is microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs.
The other post was in microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000on 10/17... I
see three identical posts from "Robert" in there - and they're identical to
this post.

Feel free to post - just post in a way that will increase the odds of your
getting help. Everyone in these groups is volunteering their own time to try
to help people, and if you multipost to separate groups, you're essentially
asking everyone to duplicate the work of others.

If you need to post to multiple groups, it's best to crosspost instead of
"multipost", by posting a single message to a handful of relevant groups
(separate the NG names with commas) so that everyone can follow the thread.
This makes it easier for everyone, including you. See
http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm

You may also find it more helpful to use a newsreader like Outlook Express
or Forte Agent rather than the web interface to the newsgroups - it's a lot
easier to do nearly everything there, including searching, which is always a
good idea to do before you post, as well as mark messages to be watched, and
filter based on replies to your posts.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com, requires no
authentication, and you can subscribe to as many groups as you like.
