I have a new installation of SBS 2003. Everything seemed to install normally but I have several issues. 1. I have had to post to this group from another computer because I can't get to the newsgroups from the server's IE. Microsoft requires Java to sign in, Java requires an ActiveX control to download and IE won't allow it. Can't find any way to allow it. 2. I cannot ping my server or connect to exchange with Outlook. I can log in to Exchange via a web browser using the server's IP or DNS name from inside or outside the LAN. I would have thought that the ability to connect to Exchange with Outlook would have come right out of the box with little or no configuration changes needed on a new SBS installation. Can anybody help?

This isn't an exchange issue and would be better posted to microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs, but I'd uninstall the Internet Explorer Enhanced Security cr*p from add/remove programs | windows components. That said, I would also suggest that you a) use a newsreader client & NNTP instead of the web interface and b) don't use the server as a workstation. > > 2.

I suggest you post this in the SBS group (mentioned above) for the most help, as this is a network issue & not an Exchange one. Include an unedited ipconfig /all from your workstation & the server & also mention how you set up your server. > > I would have thought that the ability to connect to Exchange with > Outlook would have come right out of the box with little or no > configuration changes needed on a new SBS installation. Yes, it should - if you installed SBS using all of its wizards & the to-do list, and set up the users, computers & workstation using the wizards, then it should. > > Can anybody help?
