Been many months since I last posted. I'm the 'poster boy' for how NOT to
do things with SBS (just do a search on my posts for the last 3-5 years -
you'll see).

Got myself in a pickle this time and could use some guidance from the
seasoned vets on this forum.

As of 31 Dec '09, I no longer work for the nonprofit I've been with since
2003; short story - the economy. They kept me on as a contractor to handle
IT. I brought my trusty Dell Dimension 8300 home as it had all my tools on
it. I had asked about RWW vs. VPN a few weekls ago and the replies
convinced me to go with RWW. Theh recommended placing a PC locked in the
server room that I could remopte into and then do my work. Couldn't make
that happen, and quickly found out that I needed to do things (update the
website using Adobe GoLive, update the intranet with SharePoint Designer,
etc.) so I thought I'd try a VPN that I'd turn on just when I needed it.
Hoo-boy.

I got into Server Management > Internet and clicked on the icon to create a
remote connection (don't remember the exact verbiage). I then created a
Remote Connection Disk, got into ISA 2004 and set it for VPN, then ran
CEICW. Right there I ran into problems. The firewall wouldn't configure.
No errors in the App or System logs. Nothing I could see in the ISAInfo
log. SBS and ISA BPA's were clean. Tried to back out of it in ISA and
CEICW - no good. The Montitoring MSDE quit on me next, then I started
seeing errors about SQL. (I rebooted a bunch.) Tried to fix SQL 2000 - no
good. Tried to fix SQL Server 2005 Express - no good.

Then I thought I'd just grab my backup tape (80GB capacity) from the last
full backup (done every week). Fired up Symantec Backup Exec (latest
version), but ... it uses SQL Server 2005 Express. Without it, my backup
does me no good.



It was now 4 am (this morning - can't believe I had to pull another
all-nighter), so I tried to uninstall/reinstall both versions of SQL - kept
failing. Used the advanced uninstall method using Revo Uninstaller
(normally my ace in the hole) - kept failing on reinstallation. I quit at
10:30 am this morning and got a short nap before I had to head to my P/T
job.

I'm now stuck with no ISA (uninstalled hoping I could reinstall fresh and
restore the configuration piece by piece) - no good. Even ISA 2000 won't
install.

I'm gonna have about 5-7 hours tomorrow to fix this (or my wife will
revolt!). Other than the obvious (I should have backed up ISA before(!) I
did any changes - I've kicked myself plenty alreaxdy), what can I do to get
it back? (I can access the internet from our public wireless so I can
search for help while in the server room.)

Many thanks in advance!
(I learned to love SBS - still do - but it can sure be touchy! [At least for
this retired Marine.]

Hi Mike,

Post the ipconfig/all from server and a client. Pull up the icwlog.txt file,
scroll down to the end, than *ONLY* copy the lines that start with Error
0x800.. here.

Sure thing, but'll be about 15 hours until I can get there.

Nope. Couldn't get the CEICW to complete. Kept "bombing" on the 'firewall'
step. Can't get in from the outside with RWW or OWA, but I can't get out
from inside the network.
Since I couldn't be sure the server (and LAN) were safe without a fully
configured firewall, I played it safe and shut down the server.

Since it sounds like you *have* a backup, is there a reason you can't do a
bare-metal restore? Should fix ISA and SQL all at the same time.

I thought of that, and am keepiong it as an option. When I get there in the
morning, I'll post what is in my "full backup" so I can get a 2nd set of
eyeballs on the contents. If it's correct, I may do it - my hesitation is
that what should be a 2-4 hr process usually takes me 2-3 times as long.

Been back at it for about an hour. Couldn't get Backup Exec to
install; keeps failing at the SQL Server 2005 Express part. Judt
followed the steps in here http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/287320.htm
to manually remove all traces. Rebooted and am now trying to install
it. If successful, I'll try to do a full restore.

Hi Mike,

You are missing WINS on the internal nic.
For the CEICW error:
1. Open the IIS Management snap-in.

2. Open the properties of the Default Web Site and go to the
Directory Security tab.

3. Go to the IP Address and Domain Name Restrictions setting and
change the setting. Just do the opposite of what is set. If currently set to
grant all, change it to deny all except for the local IP and subnet mask of
the server.

4. Select all to apply the change to all subwebs.

5. Select all again to apply the change all the way down.

6. Ok out of it and close IIS.

7. Open a commandprompt and type "iisreset" without the quotes.

8. You should then be able to run the CEICW successfully. Make sure
you choose to enable the firewall.
