 Symptoms:
============
When you click on the Monitoring and Reporting or Backup snap-in, you
receive the following error:
The page cannot be found
HTTP 400 - Bad Request

If "Show friendly HTTP error messages" is uncheck in IE, the error become:
Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)

Cause:
============
SBS2003 Premium: 127.0.0.1 (loopback) is missing from the Default Web Site.
SBS2003 Standard: A host header is assinged to All Unassigned (Default)

Resolution
============
SBS2003 Premium:
<Typically ISA is installed and thus Default Website is bounded to the
internal IP only.>
Go to IIS, Default Web Site, Web Site tab, Advanced. Server should have the
internal IP on port 80 and 127.0.0.1 on port 80. If the loopback is
missing, click Add, and type 127.0.0.1 for the IP, 80 for the port, and do
NOT assign any host header to 127.0.0.1.

SBS2003 Standard:
<ISA is not installed and thus Default Website is bounded to All
Unassigned.>
Go to IIS, Default Web Site, Web Site tab, Advanced. Verify the IP address
Default does not have a host header. Removed any host header assiged to
Default.
If you have to assign a host header to the default website, please add
127.0.0.1 with port 80 and NO host header to the default website.


NOTE: Monitoring and Reporting, and Backup snapin in Server Management
communicate with the IIS Default Website using 127.0.0.1. Make sure
127.0.0.1 port 80 is availalbe and no host header is assigned to 127.0.0.1.

the Internet Explorer temporary Internet files on the client computer before
using OWA again. If clearing the temporary Internet files does not resolve the
problem on the affected client computers, completely remove Internet cache files, and
enable the Internet Explorer option to check for newer versions of stored pages on
every visit. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Close all instances of Internet Explorer.
2. Open Internet Properties in Control Panel.
3. Click the General tab.

To re-install the POP3 Connector so it can get its sink properly installed to the IIS Metabase:

Server\Networking\POP3.

Generally, if we restore an individual SharePoint file, we need to have a
file-based backup image of your SharePoint documents. As I know, there are
two ways to perform file-based backup for your SharePoint database. For
your convenience, I included the methods below:

Method 1. Use NTBackup.

=====================

According to our test, we can map the folders under \\companyweb as network
drives now. Thus, we can use NTBackup to back up or restore the files in
these folders (network drives) directly. To do so, please follow the steps
below:

1. Map the \\Companyweb\Foldername folder as a network drive

2. Run NTBackup and back up the network drive.

3. When you need to restore one file in this folder, simply run NTBackup to
restore

Method 2. Use Stsadm.exe.

=====================

If you have enabled the recovery of SharePoint files, you can recover a
file or list item by restoring the entire site from a backup to a subsite
of http://companyweb, selecting the file or list item that you want to
restore, extracting it, and uploading it to its original location. To
enable the recovery of individual SharePoint files, please use the
following procedure:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Scheduled Tasks, and then click
Add Scheduled Task.

2. Click Next on the first page of the Scheduled Task Wizard.

3. Click Browse, go to %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Web server extensions\60\Bin, and then double-click Stsadm.exe.

4. Select how often you want this task to run, and then click Next.

5. Select the time you want to run the schedule, and then click Next.

6. Enter administrator credentials, and then click Next.

7. Select the Open advanced properties when I click finish check box, and
then click Finish.

8. On the Task tab in the dialog box that appears, in the Run box, type
"%SystemDrive%\Program files\Common files\Microsoft shared\Web server
extensions\60\Bin\Stsadm.exe" -o backup -url http://Companyweb -filename
target path -overwrite, where target path is where you save the backup of
your internal Web site. Click OK. You must type the quotation marks.

If you have enabled this before, you can follow the steos below to restore
the missing files:

1. Click Start, click Command Prompt, and then type "%SystemDrive%\Program
files\Common files\Microsoft shared\Web server
extensions\60\Bin\Stsadm.exe" -o createsiteinnewdb -url
http://companyweb/sites/RestoredSite -ownerlogin DOMAIN\administrator
-owneremail administrator@DOMAIN.local -databasename STS_RESTORE, where
DOMAIN is your server domain and administrator@DOMAIN.local is your
administrator¡¯s e-mail address. Include the quotation marks as part of the
path. Press ENTER.

2. Type "%SystemDrive%\Program files\Common files\Microsoft shared\Web
server extensions\60\Bin\Stsadm.exe" -o restore -url
http://Companyweb/Sites/Restoredsite -filename target path -overwrite,
where target path is the location where you chose to save your SharePoint
backup. Include the quotation marks as part of the path. Press ENTER.

3. Open Internet Explorer, and in the address bar, type
http://Companyweb/Sites/Restoredsite. The site that appears is the same as
your company Web site.

4. In the restored site, navigate to the missing file.

5. Right-click the file, select Save Target As, and then select a location
to which to save the file.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all missing files.

7. Open your company Web site, navigate to the location where the missing
files should be, and then on the SharePoint toolbar, click Upload Document.

NOTE: The second method is provided in the SBS Server help. You can find
this by the following steps:

1. Open Server Management.

2. Click Standard Management->Backup.

3. Click Restore Sharepoint files in the right pane.

However, if you have not performed either method above to enable file-based
backup, I am afraid that we may have to restore the entire database.
