Re: Rebuilding SBS Server 2003 SP2

RPC over HTTP isuue still there following CEICW!

It does try but cannot get past login prompt!

My forwards are as follows in anyone can spot a stupid mistake that would be
cool!

110 (TCP)
25 (TCP)
53 (TCP)
21 (TCP)
22 (TCP)
443 (TCP)
80 (TCP)
3389 (TCP)
4125 (TCP)
444 (TCP)
3389 (TCP)
1723 (TCP)
47 (gre)

Is there something missing or wrong? Is there a way of checkin on sbs to see
if the connection request is even getting to the server?

Hi PPL,

Over this weekend I will be rebuilding our SBS server and have some
questions, if someone would be kind enough to impart some of their wisdom
and experience I would be most greatful.

This will be the second rebuild (first time due to hard drive failure)
this time to overcome a server naming issue.

Some things that I am not sure about:

Is it worth partitioning the main SBS installation drive into the
following?

C:\ (Main SBS partition)

D:\ (pagefile)

E:\ (data).

The hard drive is 400Gb, the system has 4Gb RAM. With Nix we would
normally assign a swap partition of 3X system RAM, would the same sizing
principles apply to SBS for the pagefile partition?

We do this routinely with NIX systems for performance reasons and so that
we do not have to worry about recovering data from backup in the event of
having to re-install the system. Does partitioning like this on an SBS
system improve performance and will it help in the event of a future
system re-install? If so what's the recommended partition sizes for the
base installation, page file partition and the data partition?

How can I remove the old server from client systems so that offline files
will not try to synchronize with it? On The previous re-build simply
un-ticking the option to synchronize to the old server in start > All
Programs > Accessories > synchronize didn't appear to work.

Many Thanks for any advice!
