Setting Up a Firewall for SBS 2008

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 then dial-up was state of the art. If users wanted...

SMB Nation 2008 - A Short Recap

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 is beautiful, as is Washington. Lots of wineries!...

Playing with SBS 2008 - 1

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 new server for a client, before I wiped it and installed...

SBS WW Community Survey 2008

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 about 5 minutes.

Blackberry on SBS

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 a problem trying to connect BES to the mothership...

Machines at the home office location were able to use My Network Places to browse to shares, etc. on the...

SBS 2003 is Now OLD Technology with Today's Hardware

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 and Internet Connection Wizard (CEICW) it errored...

USB Floppy & SBS Install Revisited

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 were not compatible as evidenced by my Windows...

USB Floppy & SBS Install

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 new server. When starting the SBS install, I press...
