I have been selling, and supporting Microsoft Small Business Server since the first version (v4.0) back in 1997. One of the killer features it had was it provided Internet access for all the computers in the network. Sounds like no big deal now, but back...
I just returned from SMB Nation 2008 fall conference in Seattle. Actually the conference was held over the October 4th weekend but my wife and I took advantage of the trip to take a short vacation and tour southern Washington state and Oregon. Oregon...
Microsoft released the new SBS 2008 to manufacturing today. Peter Gallagher blogs in more detail at http://ts2blogs.com/blogs/petergal/default.aspx . More info is also available at the SBS team's Official SBS Blog at http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive...
Although I've been in the SBS 2008 Beta program since the start, I haven't had the appropriate hardware to be able to play with it. I was able to access a few remote sites kindly set up by some of the SBS MVPs, and I even loaded SBS 2008 on a...
The SBS 2008 team would like some feedback and has posted a survey at https://connect.microsoft.com/SBSCommunity/Survey/Survey.aspx?SurveyID=6295&wa=wsignin1.0 . I would encourage you to take it as it's pretty short. Shouldn't take more than...
One of my SBS customers decided he liked the Blackberry phones better than the Windows Mobile ones and so bought a couple of phones and the Blackberry Enterprise Server. He's a competent DIY'er and so installed BES himself. However they encountered...
I have a client with a branch office. They are connected via a VPN. It's been working well, well until recently. Their Line of Business (LOB) vendor installed a new server at the home office. Machines at the home office location were able to use My...
I am in the middle of installing SBS 2003 R2 Premium on a client's new server. I've already blogged some of my 'experiences'. Today I ran into another 'interesting' issue. I installed ISA server but when I did the Configure E-mail...
Well, I thought I had it figured out, sorta. As I last posted , when my SBS install would not recognize the floppy drive when it needed to install the SCSI drivers, I thought letting it use the Windows drivers was a good idea. Unfortunately those drivers...
I am in the process of installing SBS 2003 R2 on a new server for a new client. The servers these days don't come with floppies, nor floppy connections. But we still need them to install third party SCSI drivers. So, I ordered a USB floppy with this...
Well, with the holidays upon us and therefore I have absolutely nothing else to do (right!), I've decided, well at least I'm inclined toward, upgrading my CRM 3.0 SBE (Small Business Edition) to the new CRM 4.0. As I see it there will be several...
I went to the 5th Annual SMB Nation Conference this past weekend put on by Harry Brelsford. It was once again held at the Microsoft Conference Center on their campus in Redmond. It was good to see many old friends from all over the world. Friday night...
Had a major problem today with our old friend, the server with the mraid35x issue. But today it was something different. Last night I remotely applied Windows Updates to the server which required a reboot. Reboot I did, but come back up the server did...
Today the Alamo PC Small Business Server Special Interest Group, APCO SBS SIG, hosted Kristen Wild of StorageCraft. StorageCraft has a very interesting imaging/backup solution. You can find more information on the StorageCraft site at http://www.storagecraft...
For most of the summer I fought a frustrating problem at one of my client's. Occasionally their SBS 2003 R2 server would reboot. Well, it started out as occasionally. The first time was in late May or early June. An isolated incident. Then it happened...
