Use internal DNS only, that's a start. If you have mixed an internal DNS with
an external DNS on the IP stack, or the SBS server, then take out the external
reference, and setup your internal DNS with forwarders or use root hints to
resolve external requests.

I have also been having issues with SBS 2003, more specifically Outlook 2003
clients lose connection to the Exchange server after about a day..
Make sure that your have installed Exchange 2003 SP1 (99mb download). If you
have more than 1gb RAM on the server use the /3gb switch - yes that's more than
1gb. I am advised that if you only have 1gb (in my case) the 3gb switch is not
required.
Go the Windows Update site for SBS and download all the patches there. One of
those addresses an OWA issue.
Make sure DNS has been configured correctly by your "consultants". Look on the
Internet re. naming/domain issues where SBS Exchange uses a "local" extension
even though the actual domain e-mail address is in your case is .co.uk. There
may of course be an underlying issue with Outlook 2003 so make sure you go the
Office update site and get all those updates for your
clients......yaaaawwnnnnnnnn..
As you might have guessed I am not impressed with SBS 2003 and Exchange where
as SBS 2K with Exchange was just fine.

Simon

Hi All
I am having lots of strange problems with mail on SBS 2003.
These include:
1) Activesync not working against the server
2) Outlook Web Mail not working on any client other running it on the
server.
3) Outlook 2003 users (randomly) being unable to send mail to each other
with the error "You do not have permission to send to this recipient" These
mails are mainly internal to internal.
When the server was sent up by the consultants the domain was set as
local.johnsmithcompany.co.uk where as all email addresses are actually
jsmith.eu.com.
The users email addresses are firstname.surname@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and their
logins are initialsurname.
So the server name is server.local.johnsmithcompany.co.uk
user email addresses are john.doe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (johnsmithcompany.co.uk is
not used anywhere and does not exist)
Could all these problems be caused by this mismatch between domain names????
My gut feel is to reinstall the server using the correct domain etc...
Any thoughts (including a large hammer) welcomed.
A very frustrated administrator.
