SBS Support Blog

Good news, Microsoft SBS team has announced a new blog dedicated to SBS Support issues. It is being lead by Mark Stanfill:

My name is Mark Stanfill and I am a technical lead on the SBS team. My daily job involves providing 3rd and 4th tier escalations for Microsoft Support, writing and editing technical content, mentoring, and delivering training. I will be moderating this blog and acting as general coordinator.

What will be in this blog?
* SBS-specific components – Questions about components that can only be found in SBS. “How does the POP3 Connector work under the hood?”; “Can I modify RWW?”; “What is the Transition Pack?”
* Component-specific questions – These are questions about the components that make up SBS – Windows Server, Exchange, Windows SharePoint Services, etc. Questions may or may not be SBS-specific, but do deal with the workings of the particular service on an SBS box. “How do I do ‘X’ in Exchange?” “Can you use ‘X’ component of Windows Server 2003 on SBS?”
* Interoperability – How does SBS work with other services, either on the same box or on the network? “Can I install ‘X’ on SBS?” “What are the best practices for installing a second ‘X’ server in to an SBS environment?”
* Non-technical – There’s no way around discussing licensing and business needs as part of a complete technical solution. Questions in this category include: “I have 7 users and 5 CALs, what’s the best way to license ‘X’?”; “I want to migrate from ‘X’ to SBS 2003, what is the least expensive way to do that?”; “I plan on growing to 200 users in 2 years, is SBS a good solution for me?”
