Hi Bob,
Thanks for using SBS newsgroup. Lanwench thanks a lot for your valuable
suggestions.
I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that
the newsgroups are staffed weekdays by Microsoft Support professionals to
answer your systems and applications questions. Your understanding is
greatly appreciated!
Issue description:
I understand that you want to set up the NT 4.0 as a file server and backup
your SBS to this file server.
Analyzing:
Please understand that Windows NT is out of life cycle. We did not official
supported it any more, as your purpose, you only want to set up a file
server to backup your SBS domain. As I know any kinds of OS can be set up
as a file server, you can use windows XP as file server too. Please refer
to my suggestions below:
Suggestions:
1. Set up a file server on Windows 2003 domain, you can use either Server
based OS or client based OS on SBS 2003 domain to install as a file server,
we recommend use Windows 2000 or Windows XP or Windows 2003 OS as the files
server, as the Windows NT is not a fully supported clients on SBS domain,
there might be a lot function limitation when using this kinds of system on
SBS 2003 domain. You can enable the Windows files and sharing on the TCP/IP
protocol on the files server and created a shared folder on SBS domain on
that file server.
2. You can also set up a member server on SBS domain, then set up it as a
file server, just as Lanwench said, you might have to reinstall Windows NT
4.0, if it is a domain controller before. If you want also use it as other
role such as terminal server, you need also buy additional CAL for the
member server, you can refer to the following section for more information:
Since the TS server is a member server of the SBS network, the Windows
License should be covered by the SBS license (TS license will not be
covered by the SBS license.). You also need to configure the License mode
of the TS server to Per Seat mode, you can follow the steps below to
configure the license on terminal server: (I assume you use a Windows 2000
server on SBS 2003 domain)
1. Go to the additional Windows servers, open Services console in
''Administrative Tools''. Make sure that the ''License Logging services''
is running.
2. Go to the SBS 2003 server, open ''Active Directory Sites and Services''.
Click on Default-First-Site-Name and the double click on Licensing Site on
the right. Make sure that the SBS 2003 server is the Licensing Computer.
3. Go to the additional DC and member servers, open ''Licensing'' console
in ''Administrative Tools''. Set the licensing mode of the additional
Windows server to ''Per Device'' mode. The number of licenses should be set
to be equal to the number of SBS client access license (CAL). You can
select License->New License from the menu and then select Windows Server
from the dropdown and specify the same number of license that your SBS
server has.
