This review is from: Backoffice SBS Small Business Server 4.5 (5-client) [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

Are you a small company looking for an easy way to connect your users to the internet, file and print sharing, faxing, email, as well as SQL databases? This is the ticket for you then. It includes NT 4.0 with Service pack 4, Exhchange 5.5, Proxy Server 2.0, SQL 7.0 and more. As long as you have a Domain registered, a Server capable to run SBS 4.5 (Pentium 200 or higher recommended, 64 MB RAM, 2 GB hard disk space, etc.) and an ISP providing dedicated internet access it is almost a turn key package to allow you to run like the big companies. I had the pleasure to install this package for a client and will be installing it again for another. Management tasks have also been simplified so you don't need your MCSE to administer it. Installing and configuring this software will take some knowledge of NT to speed things along, but is very well scripted in the traditional Microsoft fashion. Great Product for the small - under 50 user company.
