Re: Exchange locks up after opening



Ok, I guess I never considered setting the workstations to dynamic
for those who VPN in and remote into their workstations. But yes, we
have several other Server 2003 Std. boxes and devices already set to
static.

Your remote users ought to be using RWW, not VPN & RD directly. Then it
doesn't matter what the IP of the workstations are.

That sounds better, then we don't have the cost for additional VPN licenses.

Ok, client computers are in
<companyname>.local\MyBusiness\Computers\SBScomputers


That's fine.

User accounts are in
companyname>.local\MyBusiness\users\<companyname>users (NOT SBSusers)

You'll need to move them - then you want to go to server management,
select change user permissions, replace, etc.... pick all your user
accounts.

Ok, I'll move them after business hours unless you think its okay now.
Again, I don't want to effect exchange email; but then again, I don't know
enough about exchange yet either. I have a strong goal to being recognized
as an MVP one of these days. :)


If you have any of your users , computers or groups (besides the built in
ones!) in any other OUs (such as the main Computers, Users containers)
then move em to the right place.



Yes, I agree about the Public DNS issue. Should I wait until after
business hours to change that? Reason being is I'm worried that I may
interupt or mess up the exchange (not wanting users email to go
down). Thoughts?

No, I'd just fix it now. It has nothing to do with your inbound mail.

Will do.


Thanks again Lanwench, I owe you a case of beer! I'll proceed to run
the SBS Best practices analyzer today too.

Cool beans - I'd also do the MBSA and Exchange BPA.

Thanks for the suggestion: I havn't thought of running the MBSA or Exchange
BPA yet.

Can you fax me the beer in time for cocktail hour here?

I could do that. But shipping allows the use of dry ice so the beer arrives
COLD when you open the box! :)
