You also may want to familiarize yourself with the limitations of SBS in other areas as well. SBS includes a limited version of Windows 2000 Server missing some features in full verssions such as the ability to trust other domains. There are other features that are not fully functional in SBS, just make sure that you have read everything you can find about it so that you're not surprised when you do the install. IMHO, it's a shame that MS decided to retire the full BackOffice Suite. It really seems like a niche product that had finally found its prime and then MS goes and decides that it was too good a deal and decided to quit sselling it.
