Server Basics 101,

This review is from: Microsoft Windows Small Business Server Standard 2003 (5 Client) [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I just took on setting up my first small office network. We have four computers and a desktop that someone set up to run as a server. The 6 gig harddrive had long seen its time and needed to be replaced. I bought a Dell PowerEdge SC420, 4 Windows XP Professional upgrades (from Amazon at an amazing price and current rebate) and Windows Small Business Server 2003 (also at a great price). I've worked on PC's for years but never set up a office network with a server. I was very apprehensive and questioned my skill but this software honestly was ridiculously simple to install and deploy.It guides you through the entire process step by step and I recommend it highly to anyone looking for their first server software. Of course it does have some very technical aspects that left me scratching my head but that's because I don't know what I'm doing. Setting up Sharepoint and Exchange will require some further reading on my part but shouldn't be that difficult to deploy. I recommend this product very highly and didn't give it 5 stars because of my own inexperience and not being able to see what it can fully do. It also takes hours to install which is pretty typical for any Microsoft product. I did have the whole thing done in one Saturday though and it took about 8 hours altogether.

This review is from: Microsoft Windows Small Business Server Standard 2003 (5 Client) [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
Pros: Stable, usable, efficient, fast, a non-stop productivity workhorse, works with everything from Windows 98 to Windows 7. Great value for the money. Provides all the services that a small business can ask for in a server. Very reliable.Cons: The only real issue I have with sbs 2003 is that when so many things running in this system plus all the software that gets installed on top of it, it becomes difficult to troubleshoot with severe problems. Summary: We have had this SBS 2003 Standard for almost 5 years now. You might want to read the full summary to get the full sense of this product. There was a time, in the beginning, when I was totally frustrated with it because I rebuilt the entire system on two ... Expand full review Summary: We have had this SBS 2003 Standard for almost 5 years now. You might want to read the full summary to get the full sense of this product. There was a time, in the beginning, when I was totally frustrated with it because I rebuilt the entire system on two different boxes and it kept shutting down with no clues as to what is causing it. Finally, with just blind luck, I stumbled on to the fact that it was a badly designed instant messaging server (a third party software) that I was using. Got rid of it immediately. And since then ... No problems. It has since been a work horse of a product. I'm running it on a Dell PowerEdge 2800 with 4GB of RAM (recently upgraded from 2GB) and two Xeon 2.8 GHz processors. The best part is that it is providing the following services to our small business, without any problem (knock on wood; hard), for the past several years: 1. File Server (Serving up almost half a million files to main office, two remote offices, 8 field personnel via vpn) 2. Print Server (Serving up 4 heavily used printers) 3. DNS Server (Primary DNS Server for the entire organization) 4. DHCP Server (Heavily used with lots of reservations) 5. Terminal Server (Admin only) 6. VPN Server (PPTP; Up to 10 people are connected at any given time) 7. Instant Messaging Server (Using OpenFire Server now) 8. Backup Server (Backup Exec 11.5d; Backup broken down into segments to allow completion over a week and then repeats). 9. Exchange Server (25 mailboxes heavily used) 10. Anti Virus Server (25 User AVG Business Security Edition; Virus updates distributed via server) 11. Two multi-terabyte external drives connected for data management use 12. File sharing with clients via SSL protected third party software 13. Running license server software for three different products 14. Quickbooks database server 15. Active Directory Server with AD tapped into by various other devices like routers and other server software 16. Web server for OWA only 17. Workstation Audit (third party software running on server) 18. Dell Server Management Software Running 19. Large format scanner control software running 20. VNC Repeater 21. Running 8 SCSI discs with three RAID volumes 22. Still manages to run desktop software to create disk catalogs and Firefox for downloads; IE security is set to tight and I like to keep it that way 23. and last but not least by any means; version control server via Shadow Copies All this is on top of the fact that it is backward compatible with most older windows server software and it will happily take the new ones too. Yeah, I have bashed Microsoft at times too but you know what? Their products speak for themselves. I for one have had an awesome experience with this one server alone and I have setup numerous in the past 20 years including hundreds of workstations. I won't go into details of other products in the interest of keeping this review about SBS 2003 only. Thanks for reading. P.S. Just noticed that the title of the product says 5 clients but obviously we have had to add CALs to bring it up to 25 users. SBS 2003 makes it very easy to add and/or manage CALs as well. Another plus.
