Open regedit and go to  [...]]]> I found on several of our servers that the ipsec service fail’s to start on some of our SBS servers, this is because the DNS service randomly picks 2500 ports and seems to pick the port ipsec uses, to fix this you need to add some exclusions into the registry.

Open regedit and go to  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\ReservedPorts and type the following numbers in addition to the ones already there.

• 1645-1646 – Used by IAS
• 1701-1701 – Used by L2TP
• 1812-1813 – Used by IAS
• 2883-2883 – Used by AUTD
• 4500-4500 – Used by IPSEC

I found this info on the Official SBS Blog

First on [...]]]> When joining a Windows 2008 server to a SBS 2003 network to be used as a terminal server it doesn’t automatically show up on the RWW as an Application Sharing Server to add the server to RWW you need to modify some registry keys on both the SBS2003 server and the 2008 server.

First on the SBS 2003 server modify the following registry key.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\RemoteUserPortal\KWLinks\AppTS is set to 1

Next on the 2008 server modify the following key, this key was actually missing on my installation so i created a new dword value key

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\TSEnabled =1  

After a bit of research I narrowed it down to being mime entries being missing from iis manager, I assumed this is because we are running Sharepoint Services [...]]]> I recently encountered a problem where we couldn’t open documents using the new office file format when opening them from the Companyweb on SBS2003, and if I tried to save them it saved them as a zip file.

After a bit of research I narrowed it down to being mime entries being missing from iis manager, I assumed this is because we are running Sharepoint Services v2 which was part of the sbs install and you can’t upgrade to WSS3 from 2 but thats a different topic.

Anyway I managed to fix this by running this script on the server, paste this into notepad and save as 2007.vbs if you run this multiple times you will end up with multiple entries in your mime types.

‘This script adds the necessary Office 2007 MIME types to an IIS Server.
‘To use this script, just double-click or execute it from a command line.
‘Running this script multiple times results in multiple entries in the IIS MimeMap.

Dim MimeMapObj, MimeMapArray, MimeTypesToAddArray, WshShell, oExec
Const ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE = 2

‘Set the MIME types to be added
‘ MimeTypesToAddArray = Array(“.manifest”, “application/manifest”, _
‘ “.xaml”, “application/xaml+xml”, “.application”, “application/x-ms-application”, “.deploy”, “application/octet-stream”, _
‘ “.xbap”, “application/x-ms-xbap”)
MimeTypesToAddArray = Array( _

‘Get the mimemap object

Set oExec = Nothing

‘Report status to user

‘Get the mappings from the MimeMap property.
