Small business server 2011 dhcp setup

This is because Windows doesn't always try the primary first, and then the secondary. I have configured my SBSe server to use a static of RWW doesn't work during fallover mode, but it's more critical for the internal clients to maintain Internet. All of the laptops are using the wired connection for better performance. I'm experiencing this same issue. I'm still wondering if there is a better way to troubleshoot this issue as my client is not all too happy about this You would think the network part would work right on an 8 year difference in the version!

In an early response, you said: "This is nothing to do with SBS, the standard server DNS server will obtain forwarders on install and not update them in the event that the server is moved to a new subnet. I set up the server on one subnet but had to move it to another. Please do not confuse this with root hints, do not remove or touch the root hints tab. Sean Apologies for going slightly off the thread on this. I'm a long-term installer of SBSx, and have just deployed my first Essentials server.

So, in order to avoid the types of issue that the particpants in this thread have been describing, I quickly decided to install DHCP and disable the LAN Config service. My question is, since Essentials doesn't include Exchange moved these clients to Office , will SBS Ess break if I disable IPv6 on the server like it use to on the older versions? If the recommendation is to retain IPv6 on the server to prevent issues with the clients, where can I find info in the structure of the IPv6 addressing components to fill the fields in the IPv6 static address setup?

All clients in the network concerned are running Win7 Pro. I believe you can have both IPv4 and IPv6 as dynamic and things will "warn" you but not break.

If so how any idea how I can fit it please as outlook anywhere wont work for me. Hi Sean I just wanted to report that I have a client laptop which has now developed the same issues as described above; sometimes when they connect to another network e.

Is there a fix for this issue yet, or what is the best workaround now to mitigate this? Same problem with an install I just did - frustrating for client and embarassing for me.

Is there a long-term fix for this? I have the same problem than Jim. When the server is not available ie at home , the settings for the DNS are not udpdated from the DHCP server the router , therefore I can't connect to internet.

I have to go in the adapter setting and tick the "obtain DNS server address Not very practical. Perhaps there is something wrong in my configuration seven , but I don't know what. Very informative, thank you. I have the same question. Thank you. First, awesome explanation by the OP. Its possible i missed it in here but at least one other person had mentioned my issue but doesn't seem like they were looking for the same answer as myself.

Maybe there isn't a way to do what i would like to do, so i pose the question here. I have the SBS Essentials setup the old way. Static IP. Good to go. The SBS Essentials is adding the local default gateway Problem is that whenever the router is at the top of the DNS Forwarders list, clients and the server are not able to browse to most if not all websites by FQDN.

If i delete the Problem is that the server keeps putting the Not sure. Maybe the fact that the Router isn't properly resolving DNS Queries when forwarded from the Server indicates a problem with the Router?

I found an article that talks about doing what i want, but requires running a Powershell script at logon with task scheduler. I'd rather just prevent the behavior instead of relying on a task to change the settings. Registry Key, disabling a service on the Server, disabling a scheduled task? If so which ones? Thanks for any help or direction anyone can provide. I've been working with SBS since Sorry for the delays here, been absolutely swamped Olivier Ensure you have the latest updates from Microsoft Update.

Then disable the Windows Server Lan Configuration service on the client computers. Sorry this went unanswered for so long, I must have missed it. I agree, very irritating, it's not something the SBS team can control. In this case, I would simply ensure that your router is configured with correct internet DNS entries. I'd also put the router into the DNS Forwarders list, and put it at the bottom, so Windows see's it in the list and doesn't add it.

Unfortunately I haven't had this problem, so I'm not entirely sure the best way to resolve it, but that's where I would start. Hi, Everyone is talking aboutusing a static IP on the server, when would you not use a static IP on a server? I've just done my first two SBSe installations and also have been doing SBS since , also not happy with all this new stuff.

I vaguely understand some reasoning here when things have to do with portable machines coming and going but I'd like to ask. None of them leave the office. Thanks, Mark. This was the solution for those people. So we need to make a solution that would solve this. From reading these comments, we didn't solve it.

It would be a huge help if you can explain this to me. It's become an embarassment and one of my clients is asking if we got the right OS for the job. In Launchpad you get a link to "Shared Folders", that's handy, but it shows all shares on the server, including onew I may create for admin purposes.

Users have no business going there? Is it because I've made everyone an administrator? That link would be better pointing the the "Company" folder. Could it be related to the odd implimentation of auto DNS configurations? They both exibit the same behavoir in that if powered down, upon restart the NIC has no connection.

They say they are trying now, just for me! Hi Sean, Been reading your articles for years, thanks for a lot of help over that time! Like Brian, having deployed many SBS boxes over the years was also surprised to not have to choose a static IP, and so went static during the setup I agree a small explanation in the setup wizard would have been nice.

Will that now effect anything here, or make no difference? I can't think of any reason why. Hi Sean I am also experiencing an issue with the DNS not updating when a user takes their laptop out of the office and connects to a different network. I have been adding a secondary DNS entry as a workaround to allow them to use the internet but when the user returns to the office the LAN configuration service updates the DNS which removes the second entry.

When they next leave the office and connect to a different network the DNS is not reverted. It seems to only affect the Wireless connection. I have noticed a lot of people are also experiencing this problem. Is there a solution to this? Thanks Dan. The uPNP broadcast is likely to tell the PCs where the server is but it's unlikely all routers will reconfigure port forwarding based on the uPNP broadcast. Boma Yes, we wanted to make SBS set up out of the box super simple.

Anonymous: Above in the comments is how you can override this. That's all there is to it. Fett If you're going to manually set up port forwarding, please set your server to have a static IP address, if it's UPnP, the server will keep the port mapping updated for you.

I have the same problem at a client site with SBSE. When notebooks are taken offsite, the DNS does not always revert back to auto.

You can include those in a batch file on the Desktop, but you have to be an admin to run those. This thread has been quiet for a long time. I would expect that a fix would have been made available by now.

Sean, I'm assuming this info applies to Essentials as well? Now that I think about it, no wonder it's causing problems, because the first entry in my router's DNS points to the E server, and the server's DNS points to the router as the first forwarder, so it becomes an infinite loop.

I tried removing all DNS forwarders, but the router keeps magically reappearing. Hi Mark, uncertain if this applies to , but I guess it's a good start. I have been fighting this issue for months. It is very frustrating.

Has this issue been fixed in Windows Server Essentials? Hi Guys, This is the most strange problem that I have never come across before. Search instead for. Did you mean:.

I looked on the internet yesterday and today for help in setting up SBS std DNS with the DHCP on the firewall and it seems that I've done what is out there to no avail although there isn't a lot of help with this.

Ok I have to admit that I have very little MS server experience that's why I'm setting up a trial version before I play with the real server. Can someone point me to some good technical guidance or point me to the right setup guide.

I only have a couple of more weeks to get the server setup and get the company changed over to the MS server and need some help. Is there any online SBS Std server for dummies out there? The premise is wrong. Full stop. Office Office Exchange Server.
