        <description><![CDATA[Ignoring the virtualisation for the moment, it sounds as though all you want to do is run one server with SBS 2011 and have a second joined to the SBS domain. That's fine - the SBS 2011 Standard license gives you the right to install SBS on server A, and the premium add-on includes a copy of Server Standard 2008 R2 you can install on server B.There's no need to purchase two instances of the premium add-on (and even if you wanted to add in a new server, you would just purchase a retail copy of Server Standard rather than buying a second copy of the premium addon).Now to deal with the virtualisation aspect. I don't know all the ins and outs of Hyper-V, but my understanding is that the 1+1 rights let you install Hyper-V on server A, then install Windows on top of that.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What I was trying to get at was that some installations of SBS are in workplaces with  collection of workstations bought at different times with OEM installs of office and hence different versions. The inclusion of an Outlook licence with SBS meant that at least there was only one version of Outlook to support.I know the intention is that OWA is supposed to be so good that you don't really need Outlook but it really isn't. (there may be a way of setting sharing on selected folders from OWA but I haven't found it yet.) Of course some of this may be me adapting to the change....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm having trouble figuring out what you're trying to say, but I take it you don't like the decoupling of ADUC and Exchange? This is a logical step from a software development point of view, but I agree it was convenient. SBS is fine though, since it provides the SBS Console which is the place where you now set up users, and it creates the user in AD and creates their mailbox in the one step, just like ADUC used to in 2003. I'm totally unsure what you are saying about Outlook. There has never been such a thing as an Outlook CAL; it's an Exchange CAL. SBS CALs include the Exchange CAL (except for Essentials, which doesn't use Exchange). This all has nothing to do with upgrading all users to the same version of Outlook. That's like upgrading your web server software, then complaining because it didn't upgrade all your web site viewers browsers to IE9.]]></description>

I'm assured it's competent, but in terms of configuration ,  working with AD (you need the much more expensive Firewall 300 for that), and user operarion/experience GFI Mail Essentials/Mail Security is superior but perhaps I'm just resistant to change.On the plus side, the Barracuda is a small (no user serviceable parts) rack box that just needs plugging in - though I have read it turns into a brick if you stop paying for the updates/licence.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hosted anti-spam all the way! I have used several different anti-spam solutions in the past and they are all a pain. I used to find IMF worked ok, but in the last 12 months or so heaps of spam seems to get through, which is a problem since you get virtually no configuration options.We use a hosted anti-spam (we're in Australia and use Firstwave). It is nothing short of brilliant. I get maybe 4 spam items hit my Inbox each year. It costs about $30/mailbox per year which for the customers I look after (typically  25 users) is cheaper than me managing something. Having hosted also means that there is no chance of users getting virus attachments in emails, and it takes some load off the servers. I thoroughly recommend getting a hosted solution.]]></description>

        <link><![CDATA[http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-342209-3431763]]></link>
        <description><![CDATA[I'm curious about this myself.  WSUS is a separate standalone piece of software.  We've been using it on SBS 2003 for years.  We are on the WSUS 3.0 SP2 already.  Other than it being pre-packaged in the installation of SBS 2011, I don't see the big deal on this.  Even if they don't pre-package it with Essentials, I can't imagine they explicitly stop you from installing it separately.  If they do, I need to know that because it will make Essentials useless for us.  (We have several SBS 2003 servers but were recently forced to move their e-mail to a contracted 3rd party hosted Exchange for legal compliance.  The time to upgrade these servers is coming and we were wondering what to do now that we no longer needed Exchange on the local server.  We could do just regular Windows Server Standard, but we like the simplified wizards with SBS, and the remote desktop web interface that SBS provides for the users, and for us to remotely access the SBS server.  So I was thrilled to see Essentials now, but I'm partially afraid it will over-simplify things more than we want.  I've got the Essentials Release Candidate demo so plan to play with that.)]]></description>
