SQL Server 2012 Express Compatibility with Windows SBS 2011

I've got a problem about the setup of SQL Server 2012 Express on a server within Windows SMS 2011 Standard. Normally, this version of SQL Server is supported (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms143506%28SQL.110%29.aspx)

But when I launch the setup, I find an error message that says the server does not have all the prerequisites.

Do you have any ideas of this kind of message ?

Thanks for all.

Windows Small Business Server 2008 - Local Admin password

I'm running Windows SBS2008 and now I need to change the local admin password. Like Windows 2000-2003 server, in Server management, I was able to change the admin password in Local user and groups. Right now, that feature is not listed. Where might I find that feature?

Delete all emails from Exchange 2007 account

We have an overweight an bloated email account on Exchange 2007 running on a SBS 2008 which needs emptying, but not deleting. unfortunately there was no monitoring in place and now it's slowing the entire network down (another long story)...

What would be the easiest and most efficient way to remove all emails from the offending email account please?

Thanks

They are deploying as a subdomain, but receive this error:

I have tried

• copying the indicated dll from a working directory to no avail.
• checking the application pool information
• comparing settings between working sites and this one
• Many Google searches
• Fresh install of the application and IIS

Nothing we try seems to work. Ideas?

how do i view sharepoint content database with sql server management studio 2010?

i created a new sharepoint 2010 web application. with it i created a new database using windows authentication. this is all happening in windows small business server 2011 standard on a single machine. from the initially created admin account. when i bring up sql server management studio and connect to the database server i can see the new sharepoint content database listed. yet when i click on it database name and do properties i get the following error dialog box:

<< sorry i am too low to post the image showing the error >>

<< the error: The server principal "\createdadmin" is not able to access the database "WSS_Content-mysp" under the current security content. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 916) >>

is there anyway for me to get around this error and be able to "view" the sharepoint content database in sql server management studio?

Is it possible to access Apache virtual hosts over a local network without editing client computers hosts files?

I have several websites set up on my local XAMPP, and have recently setup virtual hosts so that they can be accessed from my machine using dev.website1.com, dev.website2.com etc.

To achieve this I had to edit my hosts file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts to ensure the name resolves to the correct IP address.

I would now like to make the sites accessible from other computers on the local network, but editing the hosts file for each machine manually seems to be a bad way of doing it, as it would quickly become unmanageable with several machines/addresses to keep on top of.

My question is: Is it possible to add a DNS record or similar to the domain server of our local network (SBS 2008-R2), so that machines on our network can access my websites without having to edit the hosts file on each machine?

Apologies if this is a noob question - I have tried to RTFM, but I am not a network specialist and can't really even be sure if what I'm reading is relevant to my problem, so I really need some help. Thanks.

SSRS: Execution cannot be found

I've got a Windows SBS 2008 64 bit Box with SQL 2005 64bit on it. SQL itself runs amazingly well - nice and fast.

SSRS though is giving me headaches. I ran the install as normal, configured the windows service to run under its own account and the web service to run as NT Authority\Network Service.

When I try to run the reports though (through internet explorer) i get the following error:

Execution '< guid >' cannot be found.

Looking at the logs it tells me that the NT Authority\Network Service is not found in the database.

I've added the user to the database permissions but am running out of ideas of what else to try now.

I've been googling for two days but nothing concrete has come up. I know its not strictly programming related please dont downvote for that!

Error 691 VPN Windows Server 2011 SBS

Our Network is build on a ESXi 5 which is connected on the second NIC with an IPCop. On the first NIC it is connected through a switch with all my clients.

On the ESXi i have a Windows Server SBS 2011 Standard with 2 NIC's. One for my private network and the other to get connected to the internet.

I've managed to get this working with RRAS but somehow i cant connect through VPN to my server. I allways get the 691 Error. I use PPTP as protocoll and i'm forwarding the needed ports... I even disabled the windows firewall for testing.

The error is telling me to check if i typed in the correct username or password or the RAS server may not allow the authenticationprotocoll... But in my RAS Settings i activated the pptp port for ras and routing.

Any help on this ?

Java Application Integrating Windows Small Business Server

I'm currently writing a client program in Java for my company that will access a mySQL database with customer information.

The company already has a Windows Small Business Server 2011 server with various images and reports related to the customers.

My intention is to store the path of these images into the mySQL database to be recalled from my Java application.

1. I guess my first question is: Is this possible?

2. How do I begin connecting a Java application to SBS in order to access an image file located on the server? Researching online has lead me to believe I can connect Java to SharePoint using a Java -.NET bridge. Am I heading in the right direction?

3. Is there any issue with installing the mySQL database on the same machine as a SBS?

This is my first time posting on StackOverflow; I apologize if my question format is not focused enough.

This is also my first time working with mySQL and servers. I've been able to figure out mySQL in Java; but I'd really appreciate a finger pointing in the correct direction with the server.

How to route internal Exchange mail through external servers

I have a client (lets call them Contoso Ltd. with the domain contoso.com) who I have just deployed SBS 2011 for their head office.

Due to a contract they are committed to using a 3rd party POP email host as their primary mail server.

I set up Exchange 2010 to use POP connectors for the 30 domain users in the office. All is good.

Today all of a sudden I was told they have a further 100 users in the field that just use POP accounts with the same host.

The problem is internal email, when someone in the office email john@contoso.com and exchange cannot find the AD user it bounces it back to the sender evan though john@contoso.com exists on the POP mail server.

The people on the office want to continue using Exchange. The people in the office and in the field need to use the contoso domain and cant use another domain. Contoso cant afford the SBS2011 User CALs for another 100 users and SBS can take Max 75 users.

I would love a way of setting the internal connectors to route emails to people not on the domain via the external server, if not, all internal email via the external server. Its not a problem POPing the mail back down.

THANKS GUYS

How do I remove Windows SBS and just retain Windows Server and its functionality?

Ok so I acquired a new position for a business that runs Windows SBS server. Now that they have someone onsite to actually manage the network I really want to disolve SBS as soon as I can. Now I know what a lot of you are thinking, LEAVE IT ALONE!

However, I have a two fold problem.

1.) Expanding hardware resources is not an option.

2.) The company needs to go towards a more enterprise solution.

So herein lies the question, how do I remove SBS server without losing the entire server?

Windows SBS 2008: Join domain from external network via a VPN Connection

I have a VPN Connection connecting two LANs. One of them has a Windows SBS 2008 Server which is the Domain Controller for our Domain. Its IP address is 192.168.4.3 with the router/gateway 192.168.4.1.

The other LAN has a router/gateway 192.168.8.1, and I would like to join the Domain on the above mentioned network from this network.

Is this possible? And if so, how?

Thanks. Please let me know if you need any clarification.

merge windows 2008r2 AD account with windows 2011 sbs

I need to synchronize user account two domains windows 2008r2 (where there are all accounts) and 2011sbs (does not support trusts) where it is installed sharepoint 2010 and we need users to use the same password.

I read something about ADMT but I can not apply to windows 2011 sbs

the best solution would be the merge of the account, another good option would be to change the password directly from Sharepoint or otherwise even from a web pages that speaks in LDAP.

Making Sharepoint 2010 Accesible On Internet Using SBS 2011

I did a deep search over internet and watched videos. There is nowhere that I could find how to make Sharepoint 2010 accesible from internet using SBS 2011.

What could be the steps to do this?

i.e : sharepoint 2010 is running properly on intranet. But the users want to reach it from home as well. And we are using SBS 2011 including Active Directory. How will these users reach sharepoint from home or not only from intranet?

Would you direct me ?
