Susan: Simpliticy lover - Connect to email and internet Wizard.. you should know what CEICW is Jeff Loucks: CEICW - Configure Excahnge Internet Configuration Wizard ckelsoe asked the experts: Has there been any additions / enhancements to setting up the user environment? For example drive mappings, printers, etc. without having to resort to scripting or delving into GP? We like wizards... Susan: CEICW is the main wizard of SBS that sets up the firewall and ports...that's your 'hardening' right there Edwin asked the experts: In the past, I remember MS gave free upgrade to new software purchase after the annoucement of upgrade release. At the present time , I know their is a free R2 upgrade only for OEM version purchase. Why not extend that to retail SBS? RMiller asked the experts: How will the update service handle the other catagories in WSUS (i.e. def updates, etc.) SimplicityLover: Susan -- Sorry yeah I know what it is, I just didn't recognise the acronym (acronym phobic ) John Lead-In: in R2 will the Blackberry's be support like ActiveSync and Mobile 5.0? Anne Stanton: I read many of the forums, I have many of the books, I know the community BUT what is interesting is that when I have a really easy question I can't find the answer in a snap. What am I missing? For instance.. How to add an Alias.. Really easy, but ... Chandana_MS (Expert): For questions to be answered by MS Experts AND for the responses to show up in the official transcript please click on "Ask the Experts" Vlad Mazek asked the experts: What is the NDA beta policy on talking about new SBS R2 features, screenshots, etc leading up to the release? yeti asked the experts: Sorry - i was adding to the 1st question in regards to allowning users the ability to see authorized PCs, ProBizTeam asked the experts: Speaking of Memory - What will be the maxiumum amount of memory supported by R2? GG asked the experts: Waht about next version of Office and SBS R2 ? It will be supported ? John Lead-In asked the experts: in R2 will the Blackberry's be support like ActiveSync and Mobile 5.0? Anne Stanton asked the experts: Is WSUS on R2 going to have problems with MS CRM SBE? yeti asked the experts: Besides integrated WSUS, what is the feature upgrades of R2? Vlad Mazek: Guy: tonicxt: What does SA stand for? Vlad Mazek asked the experts: Guy: There is no NDA on the beta though - I do not recall signing one when I was added to msconnect... John Lead-In asked the experts: What is the upgrade process from SBS Sp1 (-Exchange Sp2 - Sharepoint SP1) to R2? SimplicityLover: Software Assurance yeti: Software Assurance TheCanuck: Software Assurance tonicxt: hanks JasonL asked the experts: Will we be able to use the SBS login script without the end user being a local administrator? tonicxt: thx Wayne asked the experts: Question for Chris - As the GM now for SBS - what new exciting things do you have planned for the product? Techies: Hi All StillGrey: Wayne asks a loaded question mcltech asked the experts: there is some confusion on enhanced R2 CAL, and how it applies to added servers for Standard. Can you confirm whether Exchange and SQL servers will be allowed under R2 CAL on SBS Standard? ProBizTeam: When will we see a fully-hosted version of SBS? StillGrey: Anne, dbl click a user then e-mail addresses, new Techies: Hi Dean, why Microsoft is more towards Small Business? John Lead-In asked the experts: I'd like to break the 4 GB barrier in SBS. We run Premium now and use 3.2 GB of RAM, adding update service and SMB CRM will most likely hit up against this 4GB mark, any plans to go beyond the 4 GB mark in SBS? SurfSys asked the experts: If I already have WSUS installed on a server (w/ SBS2K3 Premium SP1, Exchange SP2, etc.), what does R2 give me? Anne Stanton: Grey.. I figured it out, but I am thinking of the next IT Pro, with the next "easy" question. I will research offline SimplicityLover asked the experts: Will there be any form of Windows Live OneCare included in the initial release of SBS R2, either in a client form (such as McAfee AV Enterprise for pure Antivirus work, or a Server side facility similar to McAfee E-Policy Orchestrator) Henry Craven asked the experts: So is there going to be an Exec Chat, oe is this the new SBS Helpdesk ? tonicxt: john; 4GB of RAM is a limitation with 32 bit CPUs; it is physically not possible for them to reference any memory beond that 4gb limit Aaron asked the experts: I saw earlier in the chat that the memory limit will not be increased past 4GB. I am not sure what "real world" customers you are targeting, but we see a LOT of our customers (including ourselves) needing this limit increased. GG asked the experts: With SBS R2 PRemium ISA 2004 is valuable, what about ISA client for XP64Bits ? ProBizTeam: How about using the PAE switch for memory above 4G? John Lead-In: re 4GB ram, maybe we need a 64 bit version of SBS, anything on the raod map SimplicityLover: Thanks Guy_MS Techies: When ISA 2006 is going to be released? Will ANTIGEN be a part of ISA2006? John Lead-In: explain PAE switch or send URL please.... Shane: John Lead-In : I believe LH SBS will be 64 bit Anne Stanton asked the experts: I am mostly concerned with MS CRM SBE 3.0 and it's tight integration to SBS. Changes to either can be a huge challenge for testing. WSUS being only one piece. I know that WSUS is not going to recognize MS CRM in R2, but doesn't that bring a lot of risk ? John Lead-In: SHane - thanks...so there is hope...what is the target beta datae for LH SBS ? KenS asked the experts: If we sell a Retail Boxed Copy of Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition (non SP1) that has been on our shelf for a while, will the customer receive a free upgrade to SBS 2003 PE R2 after it is released? JasonL asked the experts: Any plans to include MBSA scanning/reporting of cleint PCs to the SBS management interface, either in R2 or future releases? Wayne: Anne - WSUS patching of CRM is not an SBS issue - it's a WSUS issue Larry Lentz asked the experts: Can Exchange and SQL be broken out of SBS or do we have to purchase separate server licenses to use on additional machines? Vlad Mazek asked the experts: Any hope of SBS R2 arriving on a DVD instead of 6-7 CD's? ckelsoe asked the experts: Are there any known issues to running SBSr2 in a virtual environment (ESX)? yeti asked the experts: So in R2, I could have a 2nd Exchange server. Do my SBS cals cover that 2nd exchange server, or do i need additional Exchange Cals (sorry if this is redundant)? Susan: Amen on that one Vlad yeti: hi Vlad RichardC asked the experts: I am unclear on what will happen to SQL 2000 when you install R2 - will it remain and SQL 2005 install alongside? What will SQL 2005 be used for? If if replaces SQL 2000, what will happen to the various existing instances and dbs? Anne Stanton: Wayne.. well that depends.. If WSUS pulls down and installs updates to SBS more smoothly, that impacts MS CRM SBE and increases the risk to the client that things won't work. This is mostly an issue because WSUS doesn't recognize all the components.. John Lead-In asked the experts: Next version of SBS, I assume this is LH SBS ? What is the tentative beta release date? Marina-MVP asked the experts: Hao said: One feature provided by SBS R2 that does not exist in WSUS is to have different auto-approval rules and installation schedules for different groups of computers. Of course it already exists in WSUS. Using GPO. Aaron: 4GB of RAM is a 32-bit x86 limit, but 32-bit versions of Windows Server (Enterprise and Datacenter) are able to get around this and offer 64GB and 128GB on 32-bit boxes. Techies: this 75 GB mail box is for each user ? Wayne asked the experts: Q for Guy - aren't you missing out on customers who have purchased a box copy of SBS from March 1st? Are they not getitng a raw deal because they did not purchase an OEM copy? Techies asked the experts: is 75 GB mailbox for each user? Vlad Mazek: 75GB store limit Wayne: Techies - no - 75GB is the total Exchange datastore for all users combined ProBizTeam: Aaron - Thus my question about using the PAE switch Vlad Mazek: one for public (public folders, etc) and private (mailboxes) KenS: Amen Wayne on the box copy of SBS!!! Aaron: Sorry - did that get answered yet? Techies: so each Public and Private have 75GB ? yeti asked the experts: what is SRM? Techies: 75 x2 ? Vlad Mazek: techies: yes. Susan asked the experts: MBSA currently requires you to install 05-051 with a /BP2QFE switch to get it to scan through the firewall and you have to adjust the XP sp2 group policy --- MBSA does not 'natively' work on a SBS network.. any plans to ensure it does in Longhorn era? Anne Stanton asked the experts: Does the Exchange memory limit of only using 2GBs go away? Wayne asked the experts: Guy- the decision to force a customer into upgrading SQL to 2005 is a concern - in order to get the benefits of patching from R2, we should not have to force the customer to push to SQL 2005 KenS asked the experts: Q for Stevenv_MS - I'm not sure you answered whether or not the Exchange Server or SQL Server included in the SBS package can be installed on another machine. Shane asked the experts: Did I just read that right? With R2 we can move SQL and Exchange to separate servers? StillGrey: Wayne, can I send my copy of premium to you to ship to Guy? John Lead-In: Aaron - good point re 4GB ram limit, Windows Adv 32 bit can scale to 8BG I Think Techies: What backup folders are required for Exchnage backup, in order to restore it? Aaron: Yeah its the PAE Switch : http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283037 KenS asked the experts: Charlie - you are ducking Wayne's question about the Raw deal for customer that purchased box copy - they should have the same rights - generally they pay more for the software than those purchasing through OEM!! Aaron: They need to add a PAE-- option for SBS to get us up to 6 or 8GBs RichardC asked the experts: Thanks for the explanation re SQL 2005 WG - what are the limitations or benefits of 2005 WG? Is there a licencing change reason behind calling it a WG version? Wayne: Aaron - do not use the PAE switch on SBS Aaron: I know - but they need to add it Wayne: Aaron - that's not possible to get beyond 4GB on SBS2003 KenS asked the experts: Q for Guy - Like Wayne, I have one copy I'd like to swap too! Aaron: It _is_ possible... with 32-Bit Windows... SBS2003 just has it turned off. Techies asked the experts: Are there any issues upgrading from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005? We use front -end program in VB SimplicityLover asked the experts: I have often been wary of the wizards, as it is not always clear what settings they are making eg. DNS Zone configuration, Internet and Email wizard. Is there a chance you can provide more detailed info to be able to troubleshoot the granular settings? Techies asked the experts: Are there any issues upgrading from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005? We use front -end program in VB Wayne: Techies - the main issue with upgrading SQL2000 to 2005 is that customers application vendors may not support SQL 2005 Edwin asked the experts: Is there a chat log I can review all these chat later? Jeff Loucks: Shane - you can buy a SQL license and install it on another server in the network. you can then use the CALs from SBS. So for $800 you can have a second SQL or your first if you have standard RichardC asked the experts: Regarding the CAL change - you say that it allows access to external Exchange & SQL. Do you have to buy additional licences to do this or can you use existing CALS and just buy the server product? Techies asked the experts: In SBS, ISA2004, does it run on top of windows or windows run on top of ISA ? SimplicityLover asked the experts: Thank you Charlie TheCanuck asked the experts: Asking my question about vertas another way... Does Vertas version 10 for SBS 2003 R2 premium work? (I am worried about sql changes) How about the beta? Shane asked the experts: Will R2 change the fact that when you go to localhost on the client machines it redirects to the SBS server? ProBizTeam asked the experts: We would like to see a license for SBS that included a partial/full hosting model. This way a small company could purchase a license for SBS, have a local file/print/management server and hosted Exchange / SharePoint / Web - What's the chance? Anne Stanton: How does R2 impact SharePoint? Particularly if SharePoint is using SQL? yeti: Veritas uses MSDE Vlad Mazek: ProBizTeam: Google for Microsoft SPLA Marina-MVP asked the experts: Hao said: "One feature provided by SBS R2 that does not exist in WSUS is to have different auto-approval rules and installation schedules for different groups of computers." Huh?? Of course it already exists in WSUS. Using GPO. John Lead-In: yeti: Veritas can use either SQL of MSDE John Lead-In: SQL or MSDE...typo SimplicityLover asked the experts: Can SBS run in as a Virtual Machine under Virtual Server 2005 or VS R2? Be very useful for trying it out. Is a beta available for us to preview in this environment or failing that under Technet Virtual Labs? Wayne: Chris - that's what we are here for - to help out Edwin asked the experts: There was a report about a network break in via fax connection line in the past. Is the comm port fax line protected by the SBS firewall? Kevin Beares [MS] (Expert): Please remember to ask the expert, the Guest chat threads will not be part of the official transcript. GG: Kevin the expert is the MVP :-) ckelsoe asked the experts: Will it ever be possible to create a "virtualized" area on the sbs box to handle terminal server needs for small organizations without requiring a 2nd server? Virtualization of the ts functionality should help isolate sbs from the ts side of things. Vlad Mazek asked the experts: When will SBS R2 become available under SPLA? Shane: Impressive: more than 20 MVP's here yeti: TS in Ap mode is not supported on DC's TheCanuck asked the experts: Q62 yes, with sql integration of veritas and the changes to premium edition of SBS 2003 SQL component Anne Stanton: How does R2 impact SharePoint? Particularly if SharePoint is using SQL? Will Larger files be supported by default? Will custom templates and web parts be overwritten? KenS asked the experts: Is the complete Windows Server 2003 R2 code included in SBS 2003 R2? ckelsoe: Yeti hence the notation of virtualizing a subset of ts in a virtual environment. Marina-MVP asked the experts: Hao/Stevenv: can you elaborate please? I can create as many computergroups in the current WSUS as I want. What do you mean with hosted license? Anne Stanton: Impressive? There are 50 SBS MVPs world wide.. Matt-MTBox asked the experts: is there going to be reporting of access via RWW in the daily report log? KenS asked the experts: Could someone please tell us what the benefit to upgrading to SBS 2003 PE R2 would be for someone who currently has SBS 2003 R2 SP1 with Exch SP2 and SharePoint SP2 and WSUS installed, but doesn't need to move Exch or SQL to another server? Wayne asked the experts: Winni - in the past - technology upgrades have NOT been limited to OEM - this is the first time it has. yeti: VS is free - go ahead and run it on your SBS box. Hope you got enough RAM Shane: Yeah and 20 of them showed up here. Thats pretty good imho. ProBizTeam asked the experts: What SBS + Office bundles should we expect to see? A lot of our clients are looking at Open Office to save costs and a bundled license may help convince them to not abandon Office. StillGrey: Marina, I think he put his answer with the wrong question John Lead-In asked the experts: If you have a boxed SBS, can't you purchase SA for it within 30 60 90 days of date of purchase? Anne Stanton asked the experts: fYI My customer was RAVING about RWW yesterday! Just thought you might like to know that they were extremely happy. Chris Rue: SimplicityLove: SBS will run in a virtual environment, both in VPC or VS. Excellent way to learn/test without affecting production systems, or requiring extra hardware. Larry Lentz: not all MVPs here today are SBS MBPs Larry Lentz: oops - MVPs ckelsoe asked the experts: re virtualization - I am thinking of something a bit more integrated than VS. Basically a sandboxed area for ts needs that is tightly integrated into the sbs environment. Eli: Does anybody know where to get a trial/beta for SBS R2? HandyAndy asked the experts: I am still not clear on thwhat happens to my custom groups and rules in WSUS, is it an all or nothing opton, if I want the WSUS Console I have to lose all my customizations? Vlad Mazek: Larry: Right, some of us work with cooler stuff Eli: or are they all locked out... Susan asked the experts: The DR story of SBS.. issues of all on one box and including activation. We're getting more questions with only answer being third party solutions and good hardware. Besides it will be better in Longhorn, any other plans? RWW is too good not to have. DaveN: Very good Aussie MVP turnout considering it's the middle of the night there. Those are some dedicated SBS'ers. TheCanuck asked the experts: Can you talk about AD changes? Specifically any new functional levels? Is there domainprep type mods to do? What about adding other DC's on Win2003SP1? Larry Lentz: yeah John Lead-In: Eli: Action Pack may hav it or TechNet Plus may have it - MVPs? JasonL: Eli: Ask your SBS user group leader. If you're not in one, check out sbsgroups.com GG: not all MVP but the best CharlieR-MVP asked the experts: Would you recommend a small Terminal Server virtualized, or a few XP Pro workstations virtualized and RWW? Which would have better performance? Marina-MVP asked the experts: Sean: "is there going to be reporting of access via RWW in the daily report log? " I think OP meant to ask if remote access through RWW is going to be available in the daily report. Anne Stanton: Suggestion: Can you setup a testlab for those of us who don't have the hardware/test space/etc opportunities to install and test R2. We can then remote in and test and give feedback. I know we can't give complete feedback. Anne Stanton asked the experts: Suggestion: Can you setup a testlab for those of us who don't have the hardware/test space/etc opportunities to install and test R2. We can then remote in and test and give feedback. I know we can't give complete feedback. Savitas: where can i find instructions on how to install and use a personal certificate for my windows mobile 2005 device? I cant seem to get a personal certificate on it that i can use to sign and encrypt messages Susan: The SBSized WSUS is pretty cool guys.. if you haven't seen it.. you don't know what you are missing Larry Lentz asked the experts: Can the R2 Beta be upgraded to the final product? Shane: savitas: check susan bradleys blog about certificates and phones, she deals with that a good bit Matt-MTBox: thx Marina Tim Barrett asked the experts: Q for Winni - We would like the ability to document all the settings of SBS (CIECW, backup schedules, password policies, license codes, shares, etc.) automatically in a single document (OneNote?) via a Wizard. Is this doable in the Cougar timeframe? Marina-MVP: Welcome Matt-MTBox. What did I do for you? Wayne asked the experts: Paul - have you documented what you refer to as "significant changes" to WSUS that will trigger Update Services switching off? John Lead-In asked the experts: In a previous SBS session talking about R2, Microsoft mentioned "something' about BlackBerry support, elaborate please. Our goal is to not HAVE to purchase BES in order to sync email, contacts, calendars, etc., with our BlackBerrys. ??? Savitas: yes, but i would think there would be technet article or something with instructions or info on what is supported Matt asked the experts: Can I use the new CAL options of SBS R2 with a seperate SQL Server 2000 installation? Do the CAL benefits only apply to SQL 2005? CharlieR-MVP asked the experts: Thanks, Guy. That was what I was planning, Actually. Small customer, non-profit. And really only needs a couple of desktops. SimplicityLover asked the experts: RE: Virtualisation.....I'd like to run SBS R2 as a virtual machine. I'd expect this would work fine, but until an evaluation is released, will Technet Virtual Labs host anything for SBS 2003 R2 for us to learn on? Shane: John Lead-In: Why would MS ever support blackberry when it competes with their product? RichardC asked the experts: Anne Stanton asked this (without ticking the box - sorry if I missed a reply): How does R2 impact SharePoint? Particularly if SharePoint is using SQL? ckelsoe: can the exchange server be linked to a second exchange server (ie front end / back end or for redundency)? ckelsoe asked the experts: can the exchange server be linked to a second exchange server (ie front end / back end or for redundency)? Vlad Mazek: front-end/back-end do not provide redundancy, just separation of roles. ProBizTeam asked the experts: What new workgroup functionality will R2 ship with? Our clients want SBS w/ SharePoint to provide ths same functionality as WebEx Office out of the box! Will R2 make it easier to set up shared calendars, projects, etc.? How about SharePoint templates? Savitas: not much on her blog Anne Stanton: There is a third party Blackberry Solution for MS CRM .... FYI. ckelsoe: Thanks V - I did not think of that... SimplicityLover: Thanks Kevin. Sorry if that was already asked Savitas: seems to be issues using thie chat with IE7 beta. my text is in white. Chris Rue: Savitas: There is an MS supplied tool for loading self-signed certs, but your results may vary. The ability to load self-signed certs rests largely with the device maker/service provider. Check with them to see if they offer a signed cert install tool. Anne Stanton: If you are talking about documenting change.. you might color code the "recommended settings" versus the settings configured differently.. ie. Would be wonderful for those who go into an SBS site and have to "fix" a bad install. John Lead-In: Shane, because our customers plunk down $1099 for BES SMB when Microsoft could EASILY get that extra $1099 for additional MS software. Marina-MVP asked the experts: Hao/Stevenv: look back at the first answer from Hao on my questioning him about R2 making it possible to use several groups, while he stated WSUS couldn't do that. Savitas: you know what its like when you talk to the wireless carrier support. Savitas: they dont know anything Savitas: where is the MS tool? Curt: Has a strategy been developed for how to sell a client the SBS Office bundle and not have to repurchase SBS Cal for the first 5 users? CharlieR-MVP: SBS runs fine in either VS R2 or VMWare Server. Paul Fitzgerald MS (Expert): Anne, we will be very clear and open about how Update Services and native WSUS work (or don't work) together. Greg Brewer: I am using the IE7 beta and everything look correct Vlad Mazek: FWIW: we run all of our dev boxes in virtual (VS2005R2) environment and SBS performes very well. I am not sure that I'd want to stick that into production but not only is it possible - it works quite well. Kevin Beares [MS] (Expert): Hey all, CharlieR-MVP: for testing, of course Savitas: i might have an older build Kevin Beares [MS] (Expert): Hey All, StillGrey: Hey Kevin Marina-MVP asked the experts: Stevenv/Hao: Q64 Savitas: interestingl, now on the sprint 6700 i can read SMIME signed messages Savitas: and check signature status Dave Bishop [MS] (Moderator): Everyone, please ensure that you click the Ask the Experts button before submitting a question. Savitas: with the mobile security update Shane: John Lead-In: yeah but they want you to buy Windows Mobile 5 devices not blackberries. That is what they support DaveN: Hey Grey Curt asked the experts: Has a strategy been developed for how to sell a client the SBS Office bundle and not have to repurchase SBS Cal for the first 5 users? Wayne asked the experts: What changes are being made in SBS2003 R2 to cater for Windows Mobile 5 devices? Kevin Beares [MS] (Expert): Since there have been so many great questions and answers in the guest chat area, I will post the guest chat transcript on the http://blogs.technet.com/sbs site. Thanks MVPs. Kevin StillGrey: What can I say Shane asked the experts: Has a price been set yet for the upgrade to R2? Wayne asked the experts: Guy - so will the Configure Mobile Device Wizard work with Mobile 5 devices in SBS 2003 R2? yeti asked the experts: Is R2 going to be the only SBS server availalbe to buy after release, or will I still be able to purchase R1 Marina-MVP asked the experts: Hao/Stevenv: (q 96) can we discuss this some more? I am on the R2 beta and I really don't understand what you are saying here. If you prefer to do that offline, fine with me. Vlad Mazek: Will there be any (public) documentation on sysprep deployments for SBS R2? Vlad Mazek asked the experts: Will there be any (public) documentation on sysprep deployments for SBS R2? LawrenceGarvin asked the experts: In the current version of WSUS (v2.0), it -IS- possible to assign "Auto-approve for detection" to selected groups, and to assign "Auto-approve for Install" to a different list of seleted groups. I, too, am failing to see the difference. GG: I will post the guest chat transcript on the http://blogs.technet.com/sbs site. VERY GOOD IDEA Kevin Chris Rue asked the experts: Have you thoguht about offering the ability to switch the type of CAL from User to Machine without penalty starting with R2? yeti asked the experts: yes what Chris? TheCanuck asked the experts: Q 6 - With an existing WSUS 2 enabled SBS 2003 SP1 system during the upgrade to SBS 2003 R2 will the upgrade handle that or will it see pieces opf WSUS there and bomb. Hence I will not be left with the reporting integration. Marina-MVP: Lawrence: thanks. I thought I was going nuts ;-) StillGrey: I was lead to belive that the AUTD functionality required a firmware upgrade to work in addition to SP2. As in I have SP2 and it still uses SMS? Curt asked the experts: Why is it that we have to wait so long into this cycle to understand cost of R2 -- if we need to talk to our NON SA clients, the first question they ask is .. what will it cost? Shane: they want to know if anyone will actually buy it first SimplicityLover: The WSUS v2 if combined with the previous SBS 2003 Health reports and system alerts via email look like they could be very powerful and useful....Are many people using this technology at the moment? Have you found the need for SNMP applications as well? LawrenceGarvin: More significantly, Marina, I find it highly unlikely that there exists a version of WSUS v2.0 for SBS2003 R2 that has DIFFERENT functionality than the current release version. Vlad Mazek: StillGrey: AUTD does not require it- AUTD2 does - it's called MSFP, Microsoft Mobility & Security Feature Pack. So far very little has been released in USA but we are the 3rd world of mobile devices. StillGrey asked the experts: : I was lead to belive that the AUTD functionality required a firmware upgrade to work in addition to SP2. As in I have SP2 and it still uses SMS? StillGrey: Thanks my mistake Marina-MVP: Lawrence, are you on the beta? LawrenceGarvin: Not yet..... ;-) KenS asked the experts: Winni - How about greatly discounting the first 5 SBS OV Platform CALs a company purchases to help compensate for the 'double purchase' issue? LawrenceGarvin: But I definitely need to see the WSUS functionality on the R2 beta! StillGrey asked the experts: Firmware/Mobile 5.0 upgrade to my Pocket PC Phone Wayne asked the experts: Chris - you mentioned SRM is being added to SBS 2003 R2 - when did this change and what functionality will it give our clients? Susan asked the experts: How can people get SQL 2000 /SBS 2003 sp1 then for downlgrade rights? You just said R2 will be the only version sold? Vlad Mazek: Again, they are not going to be able to answer that MSFP question for you since that is dictated by the phone vendor, not Microsoft. Wayne asked the experts: Chris - when will the Cougar feature list be released? StillGrey asked the experts: Like Verizon even knows what active sync is, much less AUTD or a feature pack SimplicityLover asked the experts: Will the WSUS V2 reporting tie into the SBS Reporting (email to administrator) to give a very quick and neat report on the overall network health? This feature has been REALLY helpful by the way....ie. Love the Simplicity Anthony Puca: Is there any plans to incorporate SMS (Systems Mangement Server) back into SBS? It was a great asset to have in SBS 2000 and with a 75 user cap, the load is barely noticable. ProBizTeam asked the experts: What are the plans for incorporating VOIP / Automated Attendant / Unified Inbox features to SBS? Anthony Puca asked the experts: Is there any plans to incorporate SMS (Systems Mangement Server) back into SBS? It was a great asset to have in SBS 2000 and with a 75 user cap, the load is barely noticable. Kathy: how do our questions get answered by the right expert? Vlad Mazek: ProBizTeam: That is the feature of E12 Vlad Mazek: (so until SBS includes E12 you won't see it) SimplicityLover: Anthony---> Was that at any extra cost or was it included? Sounds like a deal I missed out on... ProBizTeam: I know Vlad.... I'm just pushing them a little! Anthony Puca: It was included in SBS 2000, one of the advantages it had over 2003, patch mgmt and app pushes were easy that way Marina-MVP: Kathy: why do you think your questions are being answered by the right experts? Edwin asked the experts: I know SQL 2005 comes with its small independent SMTP mail server. If you set up a trigger in SBS SQL 2005 workgroup to sent an email, is the email going thru Exchange or SQL 2005 SMTP email server. StillGrey: Hey Andy, How can I upgrade my Pocket PC and get the feature pack? SimplicityLover: btw how do you acheive MVP? Dave Bishop [MS] (Moderator): Kathy - all of our experts are in a room and on a conference call and discuss questions and who will answer them. Susan: SimplicityLover... go to www.sbsummit.com and watch the SBS 2k3 r2 webcast as the integration email is in there.. and SMS wasn't in SBS 2000 Wayne asked the experts: I'm on the beta for SBS R2 and I love the reporting/WSUS improvements - way to go SBS Team. StillGrey: Spend your time in chat rooms instead of doing billable stuff KenS asked the experts: Regarding Verizon - Their website has a link to a document for Exchange installations and it says to use their own Wireless Sync application on a desktop machine that will always be on. It knows nothing of the features available in Exchange 2003 SP2! WMCI: StillGrey you have to wait for Verizon to release Anne Stanton asked the experts: Vonexus has a SBS Integrated VoIP System Anthony Puca asked the experts: SBS 2000 included SMS 2.0. Said it right on the box. Had it at a client. ProBizTeam: What's the link to Vonexus Anne? Wayne asked the experts: Thanks Chris Anne Stanton: www.vonexus.com Bill Maret is the CEO Bob: I have a question, I do not know if I am in the right chat room but I need to know how to down load a wnptls32.dll file? Anne Stanton: Wayne Small has been using their solution, you might check with him .. ProBizTeam: Awesome Anne! Thank you. SimplicityLover: Hi Paul, further to my question - 117 - can the data be pulled from the WSUS database and included in the report? Can the databases be interlinked as this would be ideal. If not in this release maybe down the track? Very useful to see exposure of clients Marina-MVP: Bob: wrong room ;-) SimplicityLover asked the experts: Hi Paul, further to my question - 117 - can the data be pulled from the WSUS database and included in the report? Can the databases be interlinked as this would be ideal. If not in this release maybe down the track?
