it really is easy to work with m8, and very easy to setup users etc, and mail, its pretty good for the size of business you work in. just buy a book its fairly explantory itself, but a book will guide you through it fairly well

You can't really do anything that can't be undone or corrected, so I wouldn't worry too much.
If you want to have a bit of a read, I'd look for the O'Reilly Windows Server 2003 books, theres 4 or 5. You can get then in PDF/CHM format from the usual "Special" bookshops.

we wont be setting up to begin with, it will be done by the other company.

I have set SBS 2003 on a spare machine at home, setup a user account, conencted to it with my machine and setup sharepoint, so i suppose im half way there.
Im just starting to worry a little :look:

I'm not sure how SBS differs, but Standard and Enterprise are both easy enough to set up. Most things have wizards, but even if you choose to do it the manual way it's still not hard to get to grips with. Don't know about Exchange, though.

Right, we're getting SBS2003 within the next fortnight, and i currently have a colligue who does have some experience with it.
But ive heard through the greatvine she may not be about much longer, which leaves me with it.
I dont know a great deal about it, but when the computing company comes to impliment this, they will be showing me how its all setup etc, adding new users, setting shares, login scripts etc etc.

I currently dont know a great deal about SBS.
Is it easy to get to grips with? exchange etc?

If anyone knows for any free resources, or websites where i can download literature for beginners, please say.

Suggestions welcome :)
