Hi there folks, so following on from my recent post on the fact that SBS 2008 has released to manufacturing (which means it will be in the shops soon), I saw today that SBS 2008 is now available to download from MSDN : I did notice that there is currently a slight mis-print in that it appears there are...
I know I am very, very, very behind the times on this, but just in case you missed it … This means that SBS Cougar is now completely done and now a 100% SBS 2008!! The Official SBS Blog : SBS 2008: Released to Manufacturing! On behalf of the SBS team, I am extremely pleased to announce that...
I saw this one come up internally and externally, so I thought I would share the answer. Remember that SBS 2008 is built on Windows Server 2008, Exchange 2007 and SQL 2008 (for the premium edition). This means that you are bound by the limits of those products. For SBS Standard this...

I know this is a bit early, but I’ve been asked to write a SBS 2008 book. I aiming it at those who are not super dooper IT experts, along the lines of the level I blog at, with more explanation for some areas. I’m awaiting final comments from a solicitor and then hopefully I can sign the...
I was at the Microsoft World Wide Partner Conference when Microsoft announced their S+S (Software plus Services) and some partners decided to throw their toys out the pram and start a whole bunch of scare mongering around the partner opportunity. I’ve decided I will cover both off here, so here are some...
I’ve been asked many, many times “Will Small Business Server 2008 or Essential Business Server 2008” be in the Action Pack. The simple answer is “ YES” . As to when, well that depends on the RTM of the actual products, however, we’re trying to get them in as early as possible. Thanks David Technorati...
