It provides small organisations with many of the features used by large organisations — email, an Internet connection, internal Web sites, remote access, support for mobile devices, file and printer sharing, backup, and restore — in an integrated product that supports up to 75 users.
Included Technologies: Small Business Server 2003 Standard combines these Windows server technologies:
-
The core Windows Server technologies, including network tools and network security; file, print, and application sharing; and firewall protection (but not including technologies appropriate only to medium-to-large enterprises)
-
SharePoint Services for an internal Web site

Exchange Server 2003 and Outlook for email, messaging, personal information management, and shared calendaring

Server Update Services for automated network-wide patch and update management

Licensing and Installation: This product includes two types of licenses:
-
A server license
-
Five Client Access Licenses (CALs)
A CAL is required for every device or user that accesses the server. With device CALs, any user can access the server on the licensed device. With user CALs, licensed users can access the server from any device. The CALs included in Small Business Server 2003 Standard Edition can be used for either users or devices. More CALs for SBS can be ordered in packs of five user or device CALs.
A new feature of the R2 release is that these CALs can be used to access additional servers running Windows Server 2003, Exchange Server 2003, and SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition on the SBS 2003 R2 network.
Installing this product requires a licence key and installation media. Within 14 days of placing your order, instructions for obtaining the licence key will be sent to your organisation's registered e-mail address and free installation media will be delivered to your organisation's registered address.
