As you have &quot;Premium&quot; that allows a second standard server for this exact reason. as for hardware costs, you could virtualize it (which is what i would do anyway).<br />

The link refers to SBS Standard not Premium , so I'm not sure that helps.<br />
<br />
As to hardware costs you mention virtualizing it.<br />
<br />
I don't have any experience with that.<br />
Are you referring to installing software like vmware and installing vmware on my server?<br />
<br />
If so what are the requirements like?

We currently have an up and running dell server with SBS 2008 Premium installed with 10 users doing mostly exchange.<br />
<br />
We would like to put SQL 2008 on this existing server, but after reading many post's I'm confused.<br />
<br />
I know its recommended to be on a second server but if we don't have to spend the money, I want to see if its possible to put it on the existing server.<br />
<br />
So, does anyone have any detailed help on this?<br />
I've seen this link, <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794696(v=ws.10).aspx" rel="ugc nofollow">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794696(v=ws.10).aspx</a><br />
but it doesn't seem to address my issue.

Installing SQL 2008 on existing SBS 2008 Premium

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
