I am having difficulty setting up a winer's Sony Erricsson W508

Dear hun,




Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Online Support.



With regards to your problem, communication interrupted generally means it couldn't connect properly. I suggest you check the settings.

Before setting up Exchange ActiveSync on your handset you will need the following information from your Exchange servers Administrator or IT department:

- Server Address

- Domain

- Username

- Password

You will also need a data account from your network operator with full GPRS capabilities.

Contact your network operator for them to send the GPRS account to your handset.

To create a new Exchange ActiveSync account:

1. Select [MENU]

2. Select [SETTINGS]

3. Scroll to the [CONNECTIVITY] tab

4. Select [SYNCHRONIZATION]

5. Select [NEW ACCOUNT]

6. Select [EXCHANGE ACTIVESYNC]

7. On the [GENERAL] tab you can edit the information for:

- Server Address

- Domain

- Username

- Password

8. Scroll to the [APPLICATIONS] tab, select which applications to synchronize.

e.g. Email

Contacts

Calendar



9. Scroll to the [EMAIL] tab to enter:



- Message size

- Attachment size

- Date range

- Email address

- Email signature

- Alert Signal

10. On the [CALENDAR] tab, set the Date Range for your calendar.



11. On the [ADVANCED] tab, you can set information for:

- Push (turn on/off)

- Sync Interval (set a specific time to synchronize)

- Allow connection (e.g. Home network - your handset will only connect when in the UK)

- Connection (set the Internet connection i.e. GPRS account supplied by your network operator to be used)

- Secure Connection (turn on/off depending on your servers security settings)

12. Once the above information has been entered press "Save"

To begin synchronization:

1. Highlight your account and press "Start"

2. The message "Exchange ActiveSync Session Starting" is displayed briefly

3. Then "Synchronizing “is displayed.

4. You should then see the synchronization icon and information downloading to your handset.



Best regards,

Walkman

Your Sony Ericsson Online Support Representative

the trick here is enter the server address as normal like remote.mydoom.com, this model will auto-convert to https://
 
also fill out other blankets like email address.
 
in connection settings, choose dont use default proxy...
 
then boom, email on this cell phone via sbs 2008.

export SBS 2008 mailboxes to pst files

You can't do that directly in SBS 2008.

You have to install exchange 2007 w\sp1 mgmt tools in a x32 bit windows.

in this case, use a windows 2003 member server,

1. download exchange 2007 w sp1 from MS site, x86 is a demo version
2. install powershell
3. install .net 2
4. install .net 2 updates
5. install exchange 2007 sp1, choose custom install, select exchange management tools

upon installation, autoupdate detected rollup 9 is availabe for install

SBS 2008 very slow to log on "applying computer settings"

SBS 2008 Issue “Applying Computer Settings” message

http://achugh.wordpress.com/2009/09/07/more-on-sbs-2008-issue-applying-computer-settings-message/

your friend disabled IPV6 in sbs 2008. that caused the sbs 2008 slow to start. what is more is that the exchange serivce wont start properly even if triggered manually.

It took someone's SBS 2008 1 hour 45 minutes to start short of exchange services.

after the IPV6 being added back to the nic, it took about 14 minutes.

funky, sbs 2k8 doesn't use windows smtp service, it has its own exchange transport...

that ipv6 was disabled about 7 months ago, the server wasn't being rebooted.

setup SBS 2008 exchang 2007 relay exceptions ... handy for backup program emailing reports

as detailed here
http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/networking/?p=373

basically

in the server configuration ... create a received connector. in the wizard put in the ip of the email-origin.

then in permission groups tick exchange server,

in authentication, tick TLS and external-secured...

this is quite handy for 3rd' party program like backup software to send email reports.

install quickbooks on SBS 2008

install quickbooks on sbs2008... I have to put version 7.5 in as the the 2008~9 version is an upgrade. the installer cashed serveral times, sticking with .net 1.1 sp1 installation, cancel it, install again.

tried again and again, saddenly the whole thing installed. I can't imagine that will work on SBS 2008.

once again ports for SBS 2008

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sbs/cc817589.aspx

You may need to open the following ports, depending on the services you want to make available:




Port 25 TCP – SMTP (Outgoing Exchange e-mail)

Port 80 TCP – HTTP

Port 443 TCP – HTTPS (RWW, OWA, remote desktop or Terminal Server sessions)

Port 987 TCP – External secure Companyweb access

Port 1723 TCP – PPTP (VPN)

If port 80 is not open, then you must specify https:// for RWW connections; otherwise if port 80 is open you can use http:// and the session will be redirected automatically to port 443. If your router is configured to use UPnP, the Internet Address Management Wizard (IAMW) will open port 80

load 32bit printer driver in SBS 2008 (x64)

Konica Minolta C352 and HP DesignJet T610 both got x64 bit drivers, so loading those shouldn't be a problem.

If configure the SBS 2008 as a printer server, you can load x32 bit driver as well, so user dont have look else where.

to load x32 bit driver, right-click in the printer folder, server properties, driver tab add driver x86, then browse to dowloaded x32 bit driver and load driver.

then on x32 bit client PC, just double-click on the printer, the driver will be loaded.

fix SBS 2008 sharepoint 3.0

its quite painfull.

during install, things not went well as I saw a msg asking for username/password.

then I found out the SBS console can't detect internal website.

then I started messing up WSS3.0 website. initially I can see the admin site, but can't see the companyweb http 404 error.

eventually all disappeared on me. re-run sharepoint configuration wizard getting no where. the error is an upgrade is already in place. eventually I stuffed the admin site like cannot connect to the database.
http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2009/05/06/companyweb-inaccessible-after-sharepoint-3-0-service-pack-2.aspx

this cmd is userful to get going: psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force

then I got my admin site back, but companyweb still blank.. or gave me a default II7 website.

now I need re-create the companyweb, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560621(WS.10).aspx

here is the highlight

To clean up the existing settings


Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration.



On the User Account Control page, click Continue.



Click Application Management.



In SharePoint Web Application Management, click Delete Web application.



On the Delete Web Application page, in Delete content databases, click Yes.



In Delete IIS Web sites, click Yes.



Click Delete.



Do not close the SharePoint 3.0 Central Administration tool.

Click Create a new Web application.



In IIS Web Site, enter the following settings:



Click Create a new IIS web site, and then in Description, type SBS SharePoint.

In Path, type C:\Program Files\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\webapp\InternalWebSite.



In Security Configuration, click the following settings:



For Authentication provider, click NTLM.



For Allow Anonymous, click No.



For Use SSL, click Yes.



For Load Balanced URL, verify that the settings are as follows:



In URL, the setting should be https://sites:987. If this is the setting, do not modify it. If it is not, clear the field, and then type https://sites:987.



In Zone, the setting should be Default.


Set the binding information by doing the following:




Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

In Port, type 80.



In Host name, type Companyweb.



Click OK, and then click Close.



there is also a article about sbs wss3 database security ... need manually open it to check read-only fasle.

another hint is that SBS WSS seemed tied to one administrator. if you login as another admin you may get a security permission error.

what a drama...

MS EBS and SBS 2008 server

never do things via the old w2003 MMC console. do everything from EBS/SBS mgmt console (ie using wizards)

HP ML110 G6 SBS 2008 reload

the domain name is Not correct for some reason, it looks like mypdc.mypdc.myoooph.local for whatever reason.

now I need re-load the whole thing.

I put in HP utils cd, reset all drives, and I have re-install all from scratch from CD/DVD media.

I couldn't find SBS 2008 HP brand in the list during the process, so I choose the generic one.

the problem is the network driver couldn't be found, luckily it find in the CD. But other drivers can't be installed that way.

install a smallbiz server 2008 on HP ML110 G6

this SBS 2008 server is pre-loaded. off course various wizard need to be run.

it takes more than two hours.

it depreciate the user administrator as an admin user name.

also it doesn't like myooph.local as the internal domain name because you only type myooph as the domain name. everything else is appended.

at one stage it asked to be connected to the internet. otherwise I can't click the ---> button.

at the end of the day, it takes bit long to shutdown as well. this is typical of smallbiz servers like v2003

what a drama.

configure telecom blackberry with customer's sbs2008 server

just configure following the wizard just fine. however with one of the the blackberrys, the wizard complained that an email address is already configured, and the user forgot the username/password, called telecom about this problem, waited 30 minutes, no luck.

looked at the email settings after the wizard, the email address is actually an owa address, funny bis only pass email, not contacts/calendars. this should be much easier without a BES server.

install SBS 2008 in advanced mode

yeah, install SBS 2008 in default mode ending up a domain like mydome.local.

to get an mydome.com, install sbs 2008 in advanced mode. that involves using a utility s/w to create an answer file. then stick the USB pen drive into the server, and boot from SBS 2008 DVD.

alas. sbs 2008 is like a mine field.
