Hi Glen,
Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.
Q1: Everytime the server reboots, I get an alert the next morning saying
the Exchange MTA stacks, SQL server etc failed to start. But when I check
they are started.
A: To narrow down the problem, would you please help me confirm the
following information?
1. Can Exchange and SQL work normally?
2. Have you installed ArcServe Backup agent?
3. Can you describe the detailed error message you have received or can you
attach a screen shot to newsgroup?
4. Are there any related error messages in Event Log?
Q2: I too regularly get errors in the report about pop3 downloader having
issues, I take it there is a known issue with this? I will shortly be
taking it's job from it and directing everything to the server instead but
I'm still curious.
A: Would you please tell me the detailed error message regarding pop3
downloader and are you using POP3 Connector to receive email?
Q3: When I put in the outside domain name yyyy.com into MSIE, I get a box
requesting a username and password and nothing works, however the external
interface works fine on machines not on our internet connection, anyone the
internal side has to use the internal name. What is the story here? I would
prefer if theres nothing against it to have a standard name for in and out.
A: We recommend you access SBS server using server name from internal
client and access SBS using public FQDN from internet. If you access SBS
server using FQDN from internal user, the request may be a loop and it also
may affect server performance.
Q4: Has anyone got an internal ADSL modem to work happily in place of a 2nd
NIC?
A: For one Nic, you need to configure on SBS server and client computer as
following:
On SBS server:
IP: Fixed IP
Gateway: Router
DNS: SBS INTERNAL NIC IP as the only entry
In the DNS console (dnsmgmt.msc), right click your ServerName and click
properties. In the Forwarders tab, your ISP DNS server IP should be
inputted there.
On workstation:
IP: Assigned by DHCP on router
Gateway: Router
DNS: SBS INTERNAL NIC IP as the only entry
To make sure you have configured SBS with one NIC correctly, you can refer
to the following KB article:

2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763
Q5: Is there any suggested length of time for a server to reboot? I ask as
I have once or twice had to reboot in the last two months.
A: Normally the server will need to be rebooted after installing Security
Update.
Q6: Where is some good literature on settings/admin for SBS2003 on the
internet? I would like to learn more of the nitty than skimming across the
top of an OS all the time.
A: For the question 6, the following is a list about useful resource for
