Unable to open Wab Outlook Express

If there is no path shown in the Address Book under Help | About Address Book, that means OE is sharing the Contacts folder in Outlook, and so no *.wab file is being used. Sharing allows OE to display only the Contacts folder in the default *.pst in Outlook's default Profile. You can't access other Outlook folders, just the Contacts folder, and there is no support for using Shared Contacts amongst multiple OE Identities. To turn off sharing and revert to using a *.wab, click Tools | Options (which appears only in OE5/5.5 and only if Outlook98/2000 is installed and configured in Internet Mail Only mode). However, starting with OE6 and Outlook 2002 (Outlook XP) and Outlook 2003, sharing is no longer officially supported. If you install as an upgrade and sharing is already enabled, it will remain enabled after the upgrade (or at least, it should). Therefore the Tools | Options has been removed from OE6. In that case, you can still manually enable (or disable) sharing by editing this registry key after closing Outlook Express:

| HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|----Software
|-------Microsoft
|----------WAB
|--------------WAB4

Create a new DWORD value named UseOutlook, or modify that value if it already exists. To enable sharing, so that OE no longer uses a *.wab, set UseOutlook to 1. To disable sharing, set its value to 0. The change will be reflected the next time you open OE.

Howto configure Internet Access in SBS2003

Connect Remote WS to a Domain

1. Login as administrator on the workstation and create a VPN-connection to the SBS-server. Make sure you enable this connection for ‘All users’. After the setup has finished, go to the Properties of this connection and check the ‘include Windows login domain’ in the tab Options.
2. Connect to the SBS-server with that VPN-connection using the administrator’s credentials.
3. Right click My Computer, Properties, Network Identification.
4. Enable ‘Domain’ and fill in the name of the SBS-domain (on XP you might need to add the .local suffix, so company.local).
5. Fill in the login name and password of an account that is allowed to join a workstation to the domain.
6. After a while you will get the ‘Welcome to domain’ message and the remark that you will have to reboot the workstation. Make sure you don’t reboot yet!
7. OK out of the Network Identification and don’t reboot before you have added the domain user to the local Administrators Group of the workstation.
8. Go to Control Panel, Users and Groups, and click Add.
9. Fill in the name of the user and the domain name or use Browse and make sure you choose the SBS-domain from the drop down box, than select the domain user.
10. Make sure that the added user is given the ‘Administrator’ right on the workstation.
11. OK out of it and reboot.
12. After reboot, fill in the name of the domain user, password and make sure the SBS-domain is selected in the domain field. Check the ‘use dialup connection’-box.
13. After OK, choose the VPN-connection to connect to the SBS. When authorized into the SBS-domain, the login script will run.
14. After the login script has finished and if you have Premium, you will see the ‘Install Firewall Client’-icon on the desktop. Double-click it and let it install.
15. The login script will also have added the ‘Remote E-mail access’ and ‘Remote Server Access’. It will have set the homepage in the IE-settings to the Companyweb.
16. You can modify these favorites to make them available for the remote user. In Documents and Settings\Favorites right click the link and choose Properties. Modify the link to ‘http://servername/exchange’ to the proper link needed for accessing OWA from the internet. Example: https://FQDN/exchange or https://IP/exchange and https://FQDN/remote or https://IP/remote.
17. If Premium, go to the LAN-settings of IE and uncheck the ‘use proxy’. Disable the Firewall client by right clicking the Firewall Client icon in the system tray (as the Firewall client will prevent the user to access the Internet when not connected to the SBS).
18. Disconnect the VPN-connection and reboot as the domain user without dialing up to the SBS-domain. Check all links and check the default Internet access. Check the vpn-connection.
