Hi All
I'm doing some research for a client who is looking to upgrade their SBS 2003 installation. Budget is tight (isn't it always) so I've been looking for ways to minimize costs and I think I've found a big one - I don't think they actually need a Server OS!
Reasons/Current setup:
- They only have 5 PCs in the office and look to use generic user profiles for each machine
- They currently use Exchange BUT exclusively for email and only a single account
- They have SQL Server 2005 as the backend for their Access database
- They have a few file shares centralised for backup purposes
- No other server dependent software
Which to me translates as:
- No need for WSUS as they wont chew much bandwidth, no need for domain users
- No need for Exchange as this could easily be replaced by a single or multiple IMAP accounts (which I can provide via a web server)
- No...
