I wanted to install Windows Small Business Server (SBS) formerly known as Microsoft Small Business Server. I tried the yellows pages where I can get the Small Business Server Support but I got the names of only five companies who provide Small Business Server Support. I called all the five companies and found that they all were giving limited Small Business Server Support. Then I decided to search on Google website, I tried the key word Small Business Server Support but the result I got was amazing almost all the companies in Europe were providing Small Business Server Support.

However I needed the support in India I searched different keywords like- Windows Small Business Server Support, Microsoft Small Business Server Support, Small Business Server Support version 2007 etc. the result was amazing only one company at Bangalore was supporting SBS, but my company is based in New Delhi. I called the company in Bangalore they denied to give outstation support.

So finally I decided to learn SBS online and first I will implement it in my company then I will give support to others. So here I wish to share a small introduction about Small Business Server so you can decide whether you wish to use it in your company or not, if yes, then I am here to provide complete Small Business Server Support in Delhi.

Introduction

SBS is an integrated server suite from Microsoft designed for running network infrastructure (both intranet management and Internet access) of small and medium enterprises having not more than 75 workstations or users. Different application are integrated to enable small businesses with targeted solutions such as the Remote Web Workplace, and offer management benefits such as integrated setup, enhanced monitoring, a unified management console, and remote access.

Windows Small Business Server is not similar to the edition' of the Windows Server operating system but rather it’s a customized Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) of server technologies targeted especially to small businesses. Like- the application servers are not merely bundled with the OS but are tightly integrated into the operating system.

Windows Small Business Server is available in Standard and Premium editions. Both editions are based on the Windows Server codebase and include Microsoft Exchange Server mail server, Internet Information Services (IIS) web server, Windows SharePoint Services for collaboration, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 email client, Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), Windows Server Update Services for update management across the network, and a Fax server.

Up to Small Business Server 2003, the Premium edition also included Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server and Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003. Small Business Server 2008 Premium edition does not include ISA Server but it includes Windows Server 2008 license and SQL Server 2008 for running on a second server. If you upgrade to Small Business Server 2008 Premium edition via Software Assurance, you will be compensated with a free license for the latest version of ISA Server. Initially, Small Business Server was marketed as an edition of Microsoft BackOffice Server. After releasing Windows 2000, it was marketed as Microsoft Small Business Server 2000, and again it was rebranded as a member of the Windows Server 2003 family.

Windows Small Business Server has its own type of Client Access License (CAL) that is different and costs slightly more than CALs for the usual editions of the Windows Server operating system. However if you calculate the cost of buying each license individually than Small Business Server license cost will be less expensive. The latest version released by Microsoft is Small Business Server 2008 it was launched on 12th November 2008, in two editions Standard and Premium.
