How do you get Outlook to ccnneot to Exchange on WS 2008? I'm setting up a workstation, only I can't use a mail applet in control panel to set up Exchange ccnneotivity, because there is none!

Thanks

Alistair,

a complex area and definitely nothing concrete yet, however when asked the great guys and gals on the product team came back with "We are always looking at ways that we can provide compelling value for customers and we will provide details on pricing in the future". This is no promise, but it is better than a blank statement. They are working hard on concepts like this.

thanks

David

Hi David,

We have (just - December) moved out of the SBS2K3 Premium via transition pack to the full enterprise produts at a cost of £4K + for 85 CALs, as we couldn't wait for WES. However we will miss the ease of admin that the tightly integrated SBS products gave us, + RWW, etc..

Any idea where we will stand in terms of perhaps moving back into this product group? It is a no go if we need to write off that investment, but if they are transferable it may be doable...

Thanks

Alistair

With SBS 2008 Premium, can the SQL Server be installed on the 1st server or does it have to be installed on a second server?

Thanks Dave!

My initial question is, since this is all under the same family will we be able to move up the products as the client grows

E.g

If an company starts with SBS 2008 standard, grows a bit, adds premium server for the SQL capability, grows a bit more and decides they need EBS. Will they be able to scale up? or is this a transition/migration job
