Hi Robert, thanks for responding to this mess! I do appreciate the help being
offered!
I will try and work on this this week and let you know of my progress. I had
a huge project handed to me yest. morning and that is consuming my time right
now.
I do want to toss a small wrench into the works here though...I did get an
email from the server a couple days ago but there was no data in it, just the
error message that comes up when you go into the reporting page in the Server
Admin console. Any idea why it might have done this if Exchange has to be on
here to get emails?
One more thing for you to think about. I had tried to just move the files
like you said by using the wizards in the Exchange console but that didn't
work at all. Everything quit working, calenders, email etc. I have a small
DAT tape backup (20/40) and it still was seeing way too much data in Exchange
to run correctly. The data stores were over 32 gb alone in Exchange!
If I can get all the Exchange data to reside and run properly on the 320 gb
external HD I have now AND the backup to not try and backup the Exchange data
I think I will be good.
My IT budget right now is very limited and this is just about the only way I
can see to work around everything until I can get a larger backup tape drive.
I also have plans for a seperate Exchange server but I have to get the money
appropiated first for that.
Thanks again and I'll be in touch with you later this week on everything.

Hi Tim,.
Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.
From your description, I know that you are experience many issues:
Monitoring and Reporting, Companyweb, Backup problem. If that's not right,
please don't hesitate to let me know.
You said you removed Exchange from the server due to not enough backup
storage. If you have not enough desk space, you just need to move the
Exchange mailbox and public store to another location. You can see the step
6: Moving Exchange Database and log files in the following white paper:
Moving Data Folders for Windows Small Business Server 2003
http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/1/6/11671e4d-fb21-489c-870f-db36fd2
1a7d2/SBS_MoveDataFolders.DOC#_Toc83458186
Since Exchange is a key component in SBS, you can run the SBS 2003
integrated setup wizard from Add/Remove programs to install Exchange
component. If the Exchange has not been stalled yet, the system will not
send out reporting e-mails. That's expected behavior.
After installation of Exchange, if the problem persists, please try the
following:
Step 1: Please rerun the CEICW, this helps us to cofigure network
successfully:
825763 How to configure Internet access in Windows Small Business Server
2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=825763
Step 2: Please rerun the Set Up Monitoring Reports and Alerts wizard. This
help us correctly configure the scheduled tasks.
1. Open Server Management and Expand Monitoring and Reporting.
2. Click Set Up Monitoring Reports and Alerts and Click Next.
3. Select Receive a daily performance report in e-mail, View the usage
report in Server Management and Receive a usage report in e-mail every
other week. Click Next.
4. Input the E-mail address you want to send the report to and click Next.
5 Select a business owner to view the usage report and click Next.
6. Input an e-mail address to receive the notification of performance
alerts and click Next.
7. Click Finish.
Step 3: The problem may be caused by the incorrect settings in IIS. Please
verify the Monitoring VD settings in SBS server:
1. Open IIS snap-in.
2. Go to Default Web Site/Monitoring.
3. Right click Monitoring and click Properties.
4. Click Virtual Directory tab.
5. Please ensure you have input proper Local Path (C:\Inetpub\Monitoring)
and also ensure the checkbox of Read, Log Visit and Index this resource are
checked.
And also ensure Application Settings as follows:
--Application Name: Monitoring
--Execute Permissions: Script only
--Application Pool: DefaultAppPool
6. Click Directory Security tab.
7. Click Edit under "Authentication and access control".
8. Make sure that only the option "Integrated Windows Authentication"
checked.
9. Click Edit under "IP address and domain name restriction".
10. Make sure that "Granted access" has been selected.
11. Click Edit under "Secure communications".
12. Make sure that "Require secure channel (SSL)" is UNchecked.
13. On the ASP.NET tab, make sure the version is 1.1. 4322.
For the backup and companyweb issue, since they are not tightly related to
reporting problem, a suggestion is to open two separate posts in our
newsgroup. Thanks for your understanding.
I'd like to give you the following information:
For backup, please rerun Backup with the SBS 2003 backup wizard
1. Open Server Management and then click Backup.
2. Select Configure Backup and then click Next.
3. Select the location to store the backup file and click Next.
4. Select the date included in the Backup and click Next.
5. Define Backup Schedule and click Next.
6. Configure the Storage Allocation for Deleted Files and E-mail and then
click Next.
7. Click Finish.
8. Click Backup Now. Now check if the problem will reoccur.
If the problem persists, please help me collect the following information
for further research:
1. Gather IIS Metabase:
1) Download the IIS Resource Kit tools from the following page:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=56FC92EE-A71A-4C73-
B628-ADE629C89499&displaylang=en
2) Install it, run MBExplorer (Metabase Explorer)
3) Right click the "LM" node and choose "Export to file".
4) Specify a file name, specify the password and finish the export.
5) Send the file and the password to me.
2. MPS Report
1) Download MPS report tool from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE
2) Run the MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.exe on the server box.
3) Wait for 10~15 minutes.
4) Open Windows explorer, navigate to
%SYSTEMROOT%\MPSReports\Setup\Reports\cab\
5) Send the .cab file to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with subject:
39916295-Server Status Report is not working.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Best regards,
Robert Li(MSFT)

<Hi, I have lost all my reporting in the server management console along

<finish.
<I had tried moving the exchange stores to another external HD using the

<My backups are running ok now, according to the log files/event manager
but
<I can't see anything in the Server Management Console. I just get a HTTP

<Thanks in advance for any help! It's much appreciated!
