Hi Arthur,

Thanks for posting in our newsgroup.

Since the IT consultant has made a number of modification and we
don't know exactly what he has done before, to change the SBS to use
the default settings may be more complex than expected and time
consuming. Thanks for your understating and patience.

For the users, we can move the accounts to the SBSUser OU, then run
the Change User Permission wizard to reconfigure the permissions.

For the computers, we can move the computer accounts to SBSComputers
OU.

But for both Computer and Users accounts, there must be group policy
created for them. If we just remove them to another location, the
older group policy will not work

Presuming the consultant set up policies at all, that is. And note that if
the users were in the default Users OU, there couldn't have been any GPOs
linked there - nor to Computers - as you can't link anything to those OUs
directly.

and this will caused things
unexpected. At this point, you can open Group Policy Management to
check the customized group policies. You can also send the following
information and I will have a check.

Run gpresult /v >c:\gpresult.txt on both the SBS server and client
computer. Sent the gpresult.txt to v-robeli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with
subject: Reconfiguring a Small Business Server using the Wizards.

For the backup, you can run the SBS Backup wizard to configure the
it. To do this:

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.

The SBS SMTP connector can't be created by running the CEICW wizard.
We must manually create it:

1. Open Exchange Server Management.
2. Migrate to Domain(Exchange)\Connectors.
3. Right click Connectors and select New\SMTP connector.
4. Input the name: SmallBusiness SMTP connector.
5. On the General tab, select "Use DNS to route to each address space
on this connector", click Add to add the SBS server as the local
brideheads server.
6. On the Address Space, click Add and add e-mail domain: *.
7. On the Delivery Options, set the Connection time to Always Run.

For the RRAS, you can run the SBS CEICW wizard and Configure Remote
Access wizard, this will reconfigure RRAS.

Note: Please make a backup before you take the following steps.

I am looking forward to hear from you.
