I've had done some installations on the Windows Small Business Server before in my previous Windows Engineer job. It was much easier than the full blown version of SQL, Windows Server and Exchange since the interface is quite easy and wizard was pretty intuitive. And all of this runs on a single server for the small business. Cool !
Now its pretty nice that Microsoft has come up with a "release 2" update to Windows Small Business Server 2003 that comes in two editions. A premium edition bundles Windows Server, Exchange Server 2003, and SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition for a list price of $1,299, a $200 reduction compared to Small Business Server 2003, released three years ago. A standard edition bundles Windows Server and Exchange for $599. Customers will also pay a $99 client access license fee for each PC or user that connects to the server, up to a limit of 75.
Enjoy the full functions of the Windows Small Business Server 2003 now before you decide to upgrade to a small-business version of Longhorn Server, Microsoft's next server-side operating system.
