L2TP nat traversal

source: microsoft KB926179 | http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2086128

Ran in to this setting one of these up for a client. The reasoning behind why this solution is necessary sucks, but the solution is relatively easy.

Microsoft decided that after Windows XP SP2 (that includes Vista and 7), they were going to require VPN servers to be public-facing. Basically, they turned off the native NAT-T (NAT traversal) that had existed in these versions of Windows’ VPN software. Their justification is that VPNs should be perimiter-based. The justification is sound, but removing the capability to easily set it up otherwise is kind of shitty.

Anyway, there’s a registry key you need to create. It’s in a different place in Windows XP than in Windows Vista and 7. Here’s both locations:

In Windows XP:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\IPSec
Create DWORD named AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule and set value to 2
Reboot system.

In Windows Vista/7:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services\PolicyAgent
Create DWORD named AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule and set value to 2
Reboot system

You’ll need to do this on every client you want to connect to this VPN.

Note: This is only the case for L2TP IPSec VPNs. The HTTPS VPNs and PPTP VPNs do not have this requirement.

PDFCreator as a Service

source: http://outputredirection.blogspot.nl/p/running-pdfcreator-as-service-on-server.html

PDFCreator is a great tool for users you just need to quickly convert a document into pdf format.
Getting it to run properly as a service on Windows Server 2008 proves to be a bit of trouble.

Install PDFCreator in ‘Server installation’ mode. With version 0.98 I found that if data execution prevention is enabled,
PDFCreator needs to be added to the exception list (DEP hides a little bit under Control Panel – System – Advanced system settings – Advanced – Data Execution Prevention).
However, with version 1.0 and moving forward, I have found that this is not true which makes our setup easier!

Next we need to get srvany.exe from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit. I decided to put it in \Program Files\oldResourceKitTools.
This article explains how to use instsrv.exe to setup a custom service that uses srvany.exe to run what we want.
Trouble is “instsrv.exe” doesn’t work very well on Server 2008. Thankfully we can use “sc.exe” to create the service in a similar way.

However, before we create the service we have to decide what credentials to have the service run as.
Depending on your environment running as the local system (the default) may be sufficient.
If PDFCreator will need to save files anywhere other than the local system we’ll need to
choose either Network Service, or create a domain user for the service.
As I like to be able to control specific permissions I created a new domain user: “svc-pdfcreator”, with a strong password.

Armed with that information we can now create the service with the sc command:

C:\> sc create pdfcreator start= auto binPath= "C:\Program Files\oldResourceKitTools\srvany.exe" DisplayName= "PDFCreator" obj= DOMAIN\User password= password

We can double check that the service was created successfully by using sc query:

C:\>sc query pdfcreator

SERVICE_NAME: pdfcreator
TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE              : 1  STOPPED
WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

Now we need to follow the registry editing instructions from KB137890 :

Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) and locate the following
subkey: “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<My Service>”

From the Edit menu, click Add Key.
Type the following and click OK:Key Name: Parameters
Class :<leave blank>

Select the Parameters key.

From the Edit menu, click Add Value.
Type the following and click OK:Value Name: Application
Data Type : REG_SZ
String : “<path>\<application.ext>where <path>\<application.ext>”
is the drive and full path to the application executable including the extension (i.e., C:\WinNT\Notepad.exe)

Close Registry Editor.

Almost done setting up the service. With version 0.98 I found that it was necessary to run PDFCreator.exe and PDFSpool.exe in “Server 2003 SP1” compatibility mode.
Once again, this appears to have been resolved with version 1.0+, so we don’t have to worry about compatibility settings!
But if you’re using a version prior to 1.0, go to the compatibility tab on the properties of each executable and
check “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and select “Windows Server 2003 (Service Pack 1)”.

That’s it! Test the service either by running “net start pdfcreator” or from the services mmc snap-in. If all goes well it should start successfully.

This setup works well for the auto-save in PDFCreator, as we can setup the auto-save directory to be:
\\domain\staff\<REDMON_USER>\Documents\PDFCreator\

You may have to get creative with the auto-save path if your userdata paths aren’t uniform across the users that have access to the PDFCreator printer.
We could probably solve the issue by setting up a shared folder like:
\\server\PDFCreatorAutoSave\<REDMON_USER>

Wherever you decide to have PDFCreator save its output, make sure that the account the service runs as
has permissions to create and modify files and your users have at least read access.

Renew a self-signed SSL Certificate in SBS 2008 or SBS2011

If you have an expired SSL Certificate, you would want to renew it.

This is done in the “SBS Console” with the “Fix My Network Wizard (FNCW)”.

Running it will bring up potential network issues.

Note that it will always find some but you need to ignore them
and take care of the certificate only.

When the wizard displays it results. Select only “Self-issued certificate is expired”, de-select the other issues.

To get the certificate in the SBS console to match the OWA certificate > I ran the Add a trusted certificate wizard > select I want to use a certificate that is already installed on the server > selected the newly created self-issued certificate. Now if I View Certificate Properties in the SBS console it matches the OWA certificate.

End of sales

End of sales refers to the date when a particular version of Windows is no longer shipped to retailers or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Examples of OEMS are Dell and Toshiba—PC manufacturers who often preinstall Windows software. When a version of Windows reaches its end of sales date, it’s a good time to think about upgrading.

This table gives end of sales dates for specific Windows operating systems.

Desktop operating systems	Date of general availability	Retail software end of sales *	End of sales for PCs with Windows preinstalled
Windows XP	December 31, 2001	June 30, 2008	October 22, 2010
Windows Vista	January 30, 2007	October 22, 2010	October 22, 2011
Windows 7	October 22, 2009	To be determined	To be determined

End of support

End of support refers to the date when Microsoft no longer provides automatic fixes, updates, or online technical assistance. This is the time to make sure you have the latest available service pack installed. Without Microsoft support, you will no longer receive security updates that can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software that can steal your personal information. For more information go to Microsoft Support Lifecycle.

Desktop operating systems	Latest service pack	End of mainstream support	End of extended support
Windows XP	Service Pack 3	April 14, 2009	April 8, 2014
Windows Vista	Service Pack 2	April 10, 2012	April 11, 2017

How to install Windows 7 in-box printer drivers on Windows Server 2003

Posted on 2011/05/03 by arno

Posted in Microsoft, Uncategorized

source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028992

Print server administrators may want to have the increased stability that is offered by the in-box printer drivers that are included with Windows 7.

The following methods will load a driver that is included with Windows 7 on a Windows Server 2003-based computer. These methods require an account that has administrative credentials.

Method 1: Use the Print Management Console (PMC)

On a Windows 7 32-bit client computer, follow these steps:

Click Start, and then open Print Management.
Right-click Print Servers, and then click Add/Remove Servers.
Type the UNC name of the Windows Server 2003 print server.
Click Add to List, and then click OK.

Expand Print Servers.
Expand the computer name of the Windows Server 2003 print server.
Right-click Drivers, click Add Driver, and then click Next.
Click to select the check box for “x86” processor architecture, and then click Next.
Select an in-box driver from the list, and then click Next.
Click Finish to complete the wizard.

Note From a Windows 7 64-bit client computer, repeat these steps when drivers are needed for Windows Server 2003-based x64 clients. However, in step 8, click to select the check box for “x64” processor architecture.

Method 2: Use Point and Print

On a Windows 7 32-bit client computer, follow these steps:

Click Start, and then open Print Management.
Expand Print Servers.
Expand the computer name.
Right-click Printers, and then click Add Printer.
Click Add a new printer using an existing port.
Use LPT1 as the printer port, and then click Next.
Click Install a new driver, and then click Next.
Select an in-box driver from the list, and then click Next.
Click to select the Share this printer check box, and then click Next two times.
Click Finish to complete the wizard.

On a Windows Server 2003 32-bit computer, follow these steps:

Navigate to \\<Windows7MachineName>.
Right-click the printer that you shared in step 9 in the previous procedure, and then click Connect.
Click Yes when you are prompted to install the driver.
Close the print queue after the driver is installed.
Click Start, and then open Printers and Faxes.
Right-click the local print queue that you want to switch to use the Windows 7 in-box driver, and then click Properties.
On the Advanced tab, use the Driver drop-down box to select the Windows 7 in-box driver, and then click OK.
Delete the network printer that points to the Windows 7 computer.

If drivers are needed for x64 clients, from a Windows 7 64-bit computer, also follow these steps:

From a Windows 7 64-bit computer, navigate to \\<WindowsServer2003Name>.
Click the View Remote Printers button.
Right-click the print queue, and then click Properties.
On the Sharing tab, click the Additional Drivers button.
Click to select the “x64” processor architecture check box, and then click OK.

Server 2008 inbound ports

source: http://www.sbsfaq.com/?p=1139

Small Business Server 2008 (SBS 2008) requires a number of ports open on your firewall to allow inbound traffic from the Internet in to your network.
SBS 2008 needs a lower number of ports open than SBS 2003 did.
You will only need to open the ports below to enable all SBS 2008 functionality if you are using all facilities.
If you do not need a specific function open then there is no need to allow that port to be open inbound to the server.

Port 25

This is required for inbound mail using the SMTP protocol – this will be needed on MOST SBS 2008 servers. If you are using an external third party mail filtering service such as Trend Micro Internet Messaging Security then you will want to restrict this port to be open ONLY to their servers. Closing this port to all traffic will prevent ANY inbound mail to your SBS 2008 server.

Port 80

This port is used to redirect requests to the Remote Web Workplace for http://remote.mycompany.com through to the secured site on port 443. You do not need to have this port open for SBS 2008 to work, but if you close it then you must get your users to use https://remote.mycompany.com to get to their Remote Web Workplace. Closing this port will result in errors when users try to access Remote Web Workplace via http://remote.mycompany.com

Port 443

This is the secured sockets layer (SSL) access to the Remote Web Workplace. All traffic over this port is encrypted for security. This port needs to be open in order for Remote Web Workplace to work. Closing this port will result in the Remote Web Workplace not being accessible outside of the office from the Internet.

Port 987

This is another secured sockets layer (SSL) port that is used to allow access to the Companyweb from the Internet. It uses the same digital certificate as that on port 443. Closing this port will result in the Companyweb not being accessible outside of the office from the Internet.

Port 1723

PPTP is no longer considered a secure VPN technology because it relies upon MS-CHAPv2 which has been compromised. If you continue to use PPTP be aware that intercepted traffic can be decrypted by a third party, so it should be considered unencrypted. We advise migrating to another VPN type such as OpenVPN or IPsec.
This port is used for the PPTP VPN in SBS 2008. It only needs to be enabled if you have already configured the SBS 2008 server to be used as a VPN server. You can do this via the SBS 2008 console on the Network Tab using the Enable VPN wizard. Closing this port will result in the VPN not being accessible from the Internet.

SBS 2008 does NOT require the following ports to be opened BY DEFAULT.

Port 21

This port is used for FTP access from the Internet to the SBS 2008 server. The SBS 2008 server is NOT configured as an FTP server by default. It is NOT recommended that you configure your SBS 2008 server as an FTP server as by default any password used to access it will go over the Internet in clear or plain text. This means that someone else can easily read your password and potentially compromise your network security.

Port 3389

This port is used for DIRECT access to the SBS 2008 servers console via the RDP protocol of the Remote Desktop Connection software. Allowing this port to be open to the Internet WILL increase the potential of your server being compromised via a password brute force attack. If you MUST have this port open to the Internet, it is recommended that you implement a two factor authentication solution called AuthAnvil from Scorpion Software

Microsoft Outlook 2010 Backup and Dual-Boot File Locations

We often get questions like “Where is my Microsoft Outlook data stored?” “Where are my contact?” “How do I backup my calendar?”

Everything, your mail, calendar, and contacts in your Outlook folders are either in a mailbox on an Exchange Server or in Personal Folders .pst files on your computer.

Backup and dual-booting between Windows versions all involve using the same files. There is no backup process built into Outlook. To back up, simply exit Outlook, then copy the files you want to back up. Below we provide a chart of Outlook 2010 file locations, followed by notes on particular files. Note that unlike older versions of Outlook, many configuration files are stored in the mailbox or PST.

If you are want to copy back and forth between machines so you can use the same information at the office and at home, for example. you’ll need to copy at least the pst file. If you have Outlook profiles, name them the same on both machines, so you can use the same files easily. Use File tab | Account Settings to open the pst files that you copied.

If you dual-boot, your profile can point to the same .pst and .ost files (stored in a location both OS’s can see), but you would need to copy other files to the correct location on the second operating system. Note that if you dual boot, you should use the same version of Outlook on both partitions for best results.

Windows XP File Locations

Where do you find these files? You can always start by using your operating system’s Search or Find command to locate the particular file types. You may need to use Tools | Folder Options | View in Windows Explorer and select Show hidden files and folders.

New to Outlook 2010, Personal Folders Files (*.pst) are in the Outlook Files folder in your My Documents folder.

When using Windows XP, Outlook stores *.ost, *.oab, and extend.dat in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. Extend.dat and MSN Connector message stores can not be moved.

All other Outlook configuration files are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and cannot be moved.

Tip: Copy and paste these lines in Windows Explorer address bar to open the folder:

To access the folder holding the toolbar, VBA, rules, and nickname files, copy and paste:

To see the *.ost, *.oab files, copy and paste:

Note: Storing Personal Folders on an network file share is not recommended and may cause corruption and data loss.

Type of File	Name or Extension	Outlook Profile Specific	*Folder Location under the User Account path (C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\)*
Personal Folders	.pst files		New profiles: pst files for POP3 accounts are created in your Mt Documents\Outlook Files folder. If you are using a profile created in an older version of Outlook, pst files are in Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook (default, but .pst files can be anywhere on system)
Offline and Cache folders used by Exchange server, Outlook connector.	.ost files		Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook(default, can be moved to anywhere on the system)
Nicknames for AutoComplete	Now stored in the Mailbox or Personal folders file.

Safe and Blocked senders lists	Stored in mailbox as a hidden message		Can be exported from Tools, Options, Junk E-mail. Export each list separately.

Vista and Windows 7 File Locations

Where do you find these files? You can always start by using your operating system’s Search or Find command to locate the particular file types. On Vista you may need to browse to Windows Explorer’s Organize | Folder and Search Options | View tab and select Show hidden files and folders.

New to Outlook 2010, Personal Folders Files (*.pst) are in the Outlook Files folder in your My Documents folder.

Vista (and Win7) replaces Documents and Settings folder path with a Users path. As a result, you’ll find Outlook stores the *.ost, *.oab, and extend.dat, in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.

Live Connector message stores cannot be moved but POP3 and Exchange offline or cache storage can be moved to other locations.

All other Outlook configuration files are stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook and cannot be moved.

Tip: Copy the following lines and paste into Vista or Windows 7’s Start menu “Start Search” field to open these folders:

To access the folder holding the toolbar, VBA, send & receive settings, and nickname files, copy and paste:

To see the *ost, *.oab files, copy and paste:

Note: Storing Personal Folders on an network file share is not recommended and may cause corruption and data loss.

Outlook 2007 Safe and Blocked senders lists	Stored in message store as a hidden message		Can export each list to a text file as backup. Tools, Options, Junk Email options. Export each list separately.

Personal Folders Files

If you are not connecting to Microsoft Exchange Server, all your Microsoft Outlook data is stored in one or more Personal Folders (.pst) files.

Outlook 2010 creates new *.pst files in your My Documents folder, in a folder named Outlook Files. This will make it easier for you to backup your mail.If you upgraded from an older version and did not make a new profile or pointed the new profile to the old *.pst files, check the properties for Personal Folders in File tab | Account Settings | Data Files tab to determine the exact location on your system.

Some people like to export a folder, such as Contacts, to a separate backup .pst file. That’s fine for the data, but it does not back up any folder customizations such as views and custom forms. If you want to back up those, too, copy the entire folder to a new .pst file instead of using the export feature.

Also see:

Why .pst Files Are Unsupported Over a LAN or WAN Link

Offline Folders File

If you use Microsoft Exchange Server, you may have an offline or cache mode folders (.ost) file. You shouldn’t need to back it up, since you can always refresh it by synchronizing with the server. If something ever goes wrong with your Exchange Server mailbox, this technique can save time and information, but you must do it before you try to connect to the server again.

Ribbon and QAT

Beginning with Outlook 2010, the ribbon is customizable and it and the quick access toolbar (QAT) can be exported from the Outlook interface (File, Options, Customize Ribbon), either to share with other computers or users or as a backup.

The ribbon and QATcustomizations are stored in olk*.officeUI files at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office. Each Outlook item type that has a customized ribbon will have an office.UI file.

Personal Address Book

Most Outlook users no longer use a PAB because the Personal Address Book (.pab file) is depreciated. If you still have a PAB, the contents need be imported into your Contacts folder. The *.pab will not open in Outlook 2010.

To Import the *.pab, go to File Tab | Open | Import. Choose Import from another program or file, then scroll down and choose Personal Address Book.

Other Files

Outlprnt file contains your custom print settings. This does not need to be backed up.

Some other miscellaneous files, not necessarily worth backing up:

Extend.dat — Information about installed add-ins. Will be recreated if you delete it.

Outitems.log — Outlook items to be placed automatically in the Journal

Offitems.log — Office items to be placed automatically in the Journal

Frmcache.dat — Outlook forms cache file.

Accounts

Account information is held in the user’s Windows registry, not in a file, at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles

While you could export this key, its not generally recommended because it contains absolute paths to files (in your user account folders) and information about installed add-ins. If the path is not exact when you restore it the profile will be corrupt.

Notes

If your network is set up so that you can use Outlook at any machine, your Outlook files may be in a different location. Try using Start | Find to locate each type of file. If you don’t see any .pst files after you search, you may need to adjust the settings in Windows Explorer to show hidden and system files. Choose Tools | Folder Options, then switch to the View tab, and select Show hidden files and folders.

Personal Folders .pst files are among the files that are normally not included in a Windows 2000 (or later) offline files synchronization. However, you can edit the system policy that controls the file types so that .pst files can be included. See Error Message Files of This Type Cannot Be Made Available Offline.

Requirements

Requirements for primary server
Processor 64-bit only, 2GHz minimum, maximum of 4 physical sockets (no limit on the number of cores)
Memory 4GB RAM minimum.
32GB RAM maximum.
OS Drive Partition 60GB minimum.
DVD-ROM Bootable from system BIOS
Network Adapter 1 x 100Mbps Ethernet adapteber
Monitor / video adapter Minimum 1024×768
Network devices Router that supports IPv4 NAT
Internet Connection Required
Firewall External firewall required

Requirements for second server (if you’re running SBS2008 Premium Edition)
Processor 2GHz (can be x86 OR x64)
Memory 2GB RAM minimum.
32GB RAM maximum.
OS Partition 10GB minimum.
40GB recommended.

To enable backup, you need minimum of 1 external drive (this must be a separate physical disk from any of the disks holding any of the SBS components / data).

Installation planning, and creating the Answer File

Microsoft provides a Windows Small Business Server 2008 Installation Worksheet.

The new Answer File Tools allows you to streamline the installation, and make your installations consistent. Allows options for whether to do installation attended or unattended, time zone, ewhether to install OneCare for Server and ForeFront for Exchange, fully qualified internal domain name, network settings, root certification authority name, etc. To run, Insert SBS2008 DVD1 on Windows XP or Vista and run SBSAfg.exe.

When you are MIGRATING to SBS2008, you MUST use the Answer File Tool. The tool will guide you through the process.

You can use the Answer File while doing either an OEM or Manual install. Simply load unattended.xml file onto a USB Key.

Clients must be on Windows XP Business SP2 (or higher) or Windows Vista Business / Ultimate.

Preparing the network

When you are ready to deploy, configure your network such that your router/firewall is configured as 192.168.x.1, and that your SBS2008 machine is configured as 192.168.x.2.

The “Connect to the Internet” wizard will look for a router at 192.168.x.1 and 192.168.x.254. If it finds the router, it verifies NAT functionality to make sure it can connect to the Internet. Then it configures DHCP on SBS, and requests the router to turn off DHCP. The resulting DHCP on SBS2008 is configured to be almost identical to the DHCP scope that was configured on the router.

If SBS2008 cannot automatically configure your router, you must (1) disable DHCP on your router, and (2) forward the following ports to 19.168.x.2:

* SMTP – TCP 25
* HTTP – TCP 80
* HTTPS – TCP 443
* HTTPS for SharePoint – TCP 987
* VPN – TCP 1723
* Note that port 4125 is NO LONGER NEEDED, as terminal services now goes through TS Gateway, which transfers traffic across port 443

Windows SBS installation will fail if the following conditions exist:

* The computer doesn’t have a NIC
* There is no link light
* The computer is not connected to a local router
* The computer is connected directly to the Internet and getting an Internet address instead of a local address

Windows SBS Installation – After the first phase (baseline setup) is complete

The first step that you are prompted for is to confirm that the date, time, and timezone are correct (important for server migrations).

Next, you are prompted to go online and get any critical updates. This includes any updates that they put out to improve the installation process, as well as any security or performance related patches.

The next thing that runs is the networking discovery, which will attempt to connect out through the router, try to auto-configure the network, etc. If it can’t configure the router (or if you haven’t forwarded the ports yourself), it won’t go out and get the latest updates.

Next screens prompt for information about the business (name, address, etc), the server name and internal domain name (if running with an answer file, it also prompts you for FQDN, which lets you specify an extension other than .local), and network administrator name / username / password.

You are then prompted for whether you want to install Windows Live OneCare for Server and/or Microsoft Forefront Security for Exchange Server. Both of these are 120-day trial versions.

All information you entered is then confirmed, as the server name and internal domain name cannot be changed after the installation is complete. This is not shown if you are using an unattended answer file.

Installation is then performed, and if all is successful you receive a “Successful installation” screen.

Sometimes there may be minor issues, which will be reported in an “Installation Issues” window. Each issue has a help topic associated with it to walk you through resolving the issue.

Connect to the Internet Wizard (CTIW)

Detects the presence of a DHCP server and requests that you turn it off.

Detects existing routers.

Configures the network.

Detects and Internet connection.

Internet Address Management Wizard

Launch Partners: GoDaddy, Register.com, eNomCentral.

Allows you to purchase a domain name and automatically configure DNS with the appropriate records. Keeps those records up to date over time. Also manages Dynamic DNS for your environment (if necessary) and will update your IP address at the registrar. Configures mail.domain.com, www.domain.com, and remote.domain.com.

Automatically configures: Outlook Anywehre, Exchange, Remote Web Workplace, Mobile Device connectivity, Certificates.

Configure Internet Mail Wizard

Can configure your mail to go out through a smart host, which is useful if you are on a dynamic IP address, so your email is not flagged as spam.

Move Data Wizards

By default, everything gets installed onto Drive 0. You can then move the data onto a different drive after installation. Microsoft recommends separating application and user data from the system drive, using the storage migration tools that are available after setup. RAID 1 recommended for system drive, and RAID 1 or RAID 5 for user data drive.

Backup and Storage page, Storage tab provides information about all of the drives, available space, etc.

There are a series of tasks on the right side of the screen that allow you to move the Microsoft Exchange Server data, Windows SharePoint Services data, Users’ shared data, User’s redirected documents, and Windows Update Repository data.

The interface prompts you to back up your data before it does any data moving.
