Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hello Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you unable to access file
server from Vista home laptop when dial-in thru VPN. If I have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, when you access the file server, you need to provide
the SBS domain user account as authentication. The Vista home unable to
join SBS domain, it is not SBS client, so the access will fail.

Therefore, I suggest you use XP pro or Vista business as client, and join
the client to SBS domain thru connectcomputer wizard. Then, try to access
the file server.

I agree with you, the file server's primary DNS should point to SBS. Please
delete the external DNS server from file server. If the file server wants
to resolve external domain name, the file server will set DNS request to
SBS, then SBS will forward the request to external.

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)

| I have a small network based on a SBS 2003 server. In this network, I
have a
| Windows Server 2003 machine that acts as a file server. Access to this
file
| server is arranged through the SBS machine.
|
| I have a new Vista Home laptop that connects to this network through VPN.
At
| the office (so on the same LAN infrastructure as the SBS and file server)
| there is no problem accessing the file server via VPN. At home (through a
DSL
| connection) the logon seems flaky. Sometimes I get access without
problems,
| sometimes I get no access to the file server at all (but VPN is up and I
am
| able to connect to Exchange on the SBS machine).
|
| When I check the event log on the file server around the times that
access
| fails, I see the message "There are currently no logon servers available
to
| service your logon request". But both servers are in the same rack, there
has
| been no loss of connection for the SBS, and it almost seems as if this
| situation is triggered SOMETIMES by me logging in from outside the local
| network.
|
| Now it would make more sense if it NEVER worked, but the fact that it's
| flaky puzzles me. The only thing I see that might be related is that the
file
| server has an external DNS server as primary DNS and the SBS machine as
| secondary. I suppose the external machine should be removed and SBS
should be
| primary? But could that be the (only) cause?
|
| Any pointers are more than welcome!!
