Re: Netopia 3347NWG with Remote Desktop and Remote Web Workplace

I have compared this SBS 2003 server with another one on which RWW is running
fine.
These are some of the differences:

In the non-working-RWW server (sbs2003), in the properties of the Default
Web Site, under Home Directory, the Execute Permissions were set to "Scripts
only", while on the working-RWW server (win2003), it was set to "Scripts and
Executables". On sbs2003, the Application Pool was set to StsAppPool1; on
win2003, it is set to DefaultAppPool. On win2003, the Documents tab shows
four items: Default.htm, Default.asp, index.htm, and iistart.htm. On
sbs2003, there was a fifth (last) item: Default.aspx. On sbs2003, the ISAPI
Filters tab shows SBSFLT with High Priority, followed by fpexedll.dll with
Low Priority, and Owalogon with "Unknown" priority. On win2003, the same,
except SBSFLT is not listed. On sbs2003, HTTP Headers tab has "Enable
content expiration" checked, and "Expire after 30 days" selected. On
win2003, that is not checked; and under Custom Web Header, win2003 has listed
MicrosoftOfficeWebServer: 5.0_Pub and XP-Powered-By: ASP.NET. On sbs2003,
only XP-Powered-By: ASP.NET is listed. On win2003, on the Server Extensions
2003 tab, it says "Microsoft SharePoint is installed on this site. Version
5.0.2.6790. On sbs2003, it says: This server has not been configured to use
the server extensions.

I configured the server extensions for the Default Web Site under sbs2003,
and made changes to mimic the settings on win2003. However, I am still
getting "you are not authorized to view this page" when I attempt to access
https://sbs2003.domain.com/Remote.

When I checked, there was a Default.aspx created in the Documents of the
Remote properties, but it was listed last. I deleted it, and recreated it as
default.aspx, and moved it to the top of the list. However, when I attempted
to access RWW via an external computer, I got the same "You are not
authorized to view this page".

I then looked at this message:

OWA and RWW not accessible.
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs/msg/0fe8e7fea60c5efc
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[quoting Robert Li of MSFT]:

"All Windows Small Business Server Website and Virtual Directories work only
with .Net Framework 1.1 and are no support with 2.0

- Default website
- Exchange (OWA)
- Remote (RWW)
- ActiveSync
- OMA and all
- Companyweb
- SharePoint Central Administration
- Microsoft SharePoint Administration"


1. Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
2. Expand to Server | Web Sites | Default Web Sites
3. Right click the each web site and select Properties.
4. On the ASP.NET tab, make sure the version is 1.1.4322.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will not install .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0 or 3.5 -- I don't want
companyweb and Monitoring to break again.

However, when I checked the properties for Default Web Site, .NET Framework
2.0 was installed (the ASP.NET tab was there) -- something must done it.
ARGH! I have uninstalled .NET 2.0 Framework.

Now, the ASP.NET tab is not present in the properties for Default Web Site
or any virtual directories, so they have to be using 1.1.

I found, in the messages you referenced, a mention of the ASP.NET IIS
Registration Tool (Aspnet_regiis.exe):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h.aspx

This is a GREAT command-prompt tool, as it confirms exactly what is mapped
to where instantly:
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\Aspnet_regiis.exe -lk

It also gives a way, via command-prompt commands, to change what is needed.

I think it is tragic that, as Robert Li of MSFT says:

"When installing .NET Framework 2.0 on Windows Small Business Server,
all the websites are automatically switched to use .NET Framework 2.0 which
they are not intended to work with."

This is a recipe for disaster!
Especially since so many other programs, including "WSUS 3.0", require .NET
Framework 2.0.

Why is there NO WARNING GIVEN when installing .NET Framework 2.0 (or 3.0 or
3.5) on SBS 2003?
[This is a rhetorical question, as I don't expect you to answer it.]

Some progress is being made, however:

When I navigate to http://sbs2003.domain.com/ and see the Default Web Site
(as permissions are still, temporarily, unrestricted), I can now click on
Information and Answers and see http://sbs2003.domain.com/ClientHelp and its
sub-pages -- which previously gave me "The page cannot be found".

Clicking on Network Configuration Wizard still gets
http://sbs2003.domain.com/ConnectComputer -- "The page cannot be found".

Clicking on Remote Web Workplace still gets http://sbs2003.domain.com/Remote
-- "You are not authorized to view this page". Changing that to
https://sbs2003.domain.com/Remote has the same result.

Since some parts of an uninstall wait for a reboot, I rebooted the server,
just to see whether that would make any difference. It didn't.

I follow these directions from that link:

"If SBS is already installed then you should be able to go to
Start/Control
Panel/Add/Remove Programs and select Windows Small Business Server 2003
then
click on the Change/Remove button.. then follow the setup wizard screens
until you get to the Component Selection screen.. then select Reinstall
for
the Server Tools option.. You can set the Server Tools subcomponents to
None
(Installed) they should not need to be re-installed. RWW should be
re-installed by simply reinstalling the top level of the Server Tools..
it's not listed as a seperated component like Intranet is (which installs
Windows SharePoint Services and does the SBS provisioning) "

...and I got this error before it finished:
---------------------------
.NET Framework 1.1 -- Device Update 2.0
---------------------------
Command line option syntax error. Type Command /? for Help.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
However, it finished otherwise, and did not report any problem. It
brought
up a box that said the server had to reboot, but before I clicked OK, I
checked in IIS Admin, and the "Remote" web site under Default Web Site was
now listed.

I then clicked OK, which rebooted the server.

When it returned, I could right-click the "Remote" website under Default
Web
Site, and "browse", and see the RWW login page.

However, when I attempted to access it from an external computer (after
logging out of RDC), I got "You are not authorized to view this page".

Yes, that helped somewhat, as I found that the "Remote" Web Site (under
Default Web Site) is missing. That might explain the "Page cannot be
found"
errors. How can I get this created?

My server's FQDN (as stated on its Web Server Certificiate and in
the A
record of the hosting company's DNS entries) is
sbs2003.thenameofthecompanygoeshere.com, so the address that I have
been
using to try to get to RWW is
https://sbs2003.thenameofthecompanygoeshere.com/remote. However, if
the
IP
address restriction for the Default Website is changed back to
normal,
when
trying to use RWW, I get "You are not authorized to view this page";
with
the
restrictions lifted, I get "Page cannot be found". Pinging
"sbs2003.thenameofthecompanygoeshere.com" results in the static IP
assigned
by the ISP, 72.xxx.xxx.xxx, and (JUST AS A TEMPORARY TEST) with the
permission restrictions lifted on Default Website,
http://sbs2003.thenameofthecompanygoeshere.com brings up the Default
Website
externally. This proves that the issue is not DNS related.

These ports are properly forwarded to the server's External (WAN)
Ethernet
adapter (192.168.1.10): 443, 444, 3389, and 4125. Per Susan
Bradley's
blog,
443 and 4125 are needed for RWW, 444 allows Sharepoint (companyweb)
to
be
reached externally, and 3389 allows Terminal Services (Remote
Desktop
Connection) externally. As soon as I forwarded 3389, RDC started
working
to
that server from my office laptop.

From an internal (LAN) workstation, when trying to go to
https://sbs2003/remote, I also get the same results; and on that
workstation,
while http://companyweb will appear, clicking "Remote Server
Management
also
results in "Page cannot be found". Pinging "sbs2003" from the
workstation
provides responses from 192.168.16.2 -- the server's LAN address.
Opening
http://companyweb on the server itself gives the same results.

I have temporarily changed the IP address restrictions for Default
WebSite
in
IIS Admin, so all are now Granted Access. It is now possible to
navigate
to
http:\\sbs2003.domain.com, and the default website appears.

However, companyweb (My internal website) goes to
http:\\companyweb,
which
of course results in "Internet Explorer cannot display the
webpage".

All other links (Network Configuration Wizard, Remote Web
Workplace,
and
Information and Answers) bring up "The page cannot be found".

Directly going to https://sbs2003.domain.com/Remote now results
in
"The
page
cannot be found" instead of the previous "You are not authorized
to
view
this
page".
