MS SBS 2008 setup from a Mac perspective

What are you looking to do with the SBS server?

Is your Environment primarily a Mac environment with a few Windows machines or a Windows environment with a few Mac machines?

It's just going to be 1 server and 2 win7 PC's running the usual MS Office and quickbooks- so filesharing and email primarily I guess

And how many Macs, 1, 2 or more?

It just seems like an awful lot to spend for SBS 2k8 and cals.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my question - there are no Macs, it's just thats where I've got most expertise and yes it does seem an expensive  solution but the client's just gone ahead and ordered it. I mention my Mac background because I'm hoping that someone can give "equivelent" advice - eg - To create a share on a Mac server do X Y Z and to do the same on SBS do A B C, but note that unlike the Mac setup bla bla etc etc. Maybe I'm asking too much and the 2 servers are too different

So they've already bought an sbs server for a company of two users?

If you caconvince them(an if it's returnable) return it if possible abpnd buy the a $600 NAS.

I know but it's bought and non returnable. I do have another client with 12 PC's and NAS (Buffalo Terrastation) and they're thinking of SBS. The problem they have with NAS is that the Sage accounts software doesn't like being run multiuser from NAS so we run it from an old XP box at the moment - anyway , going a bit off topic now

Yeah definitely, Sage requires MSSQL to run and a NAS will not cut it.

A Windows server it is...Too bad they already purchased as ou could have even recommended going to a hosted cloud solution which would have been lower in cost for support and inventory.

Good luck
