What is the difference between Small Business Server & Back Office Server??

by mckaytech

Both are product suites with several server products rolled into one package for a price less than buying the components individually.

Small Business Server is specifically designed for a single-server network with less than 50 users. While it includes Proxy, Exchange, SQL Server and a very capable fax/modem sharing piece for a very reasonable price, it must be installed as a PDC and does not support trusts. SBS also includes a management console designed for those who might not be able tomanage a server otherwise.

BackOffice Server includes the "full" versions of each of the products so it costs more but has fewer limitations.
