Is you're plan to do away with the SBS Server or keep it?<br />
If you're &nbsp;keeping it, you would be better off just disabling the GPO's rather than deleting <br />

For 6 seats a much cheaper alternative would have been moving to Windows Server 2012 Essentials. &nbsp;Supports up to 25 users, provides full back up of all workstations and still gives users access to their desktops remotely. &nbsp;No exchange included

We'll be doing away with the SBS2003 server. &nbsp;Yeah, I suppose disabling the GPO's would be smarter. 2012 Essential would probably have been a good choice, but the new server was already on order before I came on the scene.

Hi all;<br />
<br />
I'm setting up a new 2008R2 server (standard) to replace an SBS2003 server. &nbsp;SBS has a bunch of standard policies it sets up, they don't look like they've been altered. &nbsp;Any suggestions on which I can delete out of hand.<br />
<br />
This is a small company (6 seats), they don't use exchange, sharepoint, &nbsp;just filesharing basically. &nbsp;I will be keeping folder redirection, but I will set it up under 2008R2 as it provides a few more options. &nbsp;I have my own set of GPs I like to setup but I don't want to bugger anything up in SBS while I setup the transfer.
