I have a client who need a server – probably with SBS 2k3. They have a volunteer (its a nonprofit) who is a PC tech with minimal network experience.
I put in a proposal for installation, including letting him work with me to learn, and even letting him play with the server for a week before the install so he can learn stuff.
But he wants to do the whole install by himself and is telling the manager that it will save them all the money if they don’t have to use me.
I’m not attached to doing the work myself, but my opinion has been that since he has no server/nw background or training, I may end up having to fix his installation anyway.
My experience is with installing full version Server and exchange – not SBS.
Question: is SBS so simple an install that a PC tech with no server/domain experience and minimal peer-peer networking experience could do a successful install? or would that setup the organization for trouble?
