Q: If a client bought Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2, Premium Edition, does the license allow the SQL Server 2005 and Exchange Server 2003 components to be loaded on separate member servers?

A: No, you would have to have an additional licensed copy of those products to do this. However, the Windows SBS 2003 R2 CAL covers the clients accessing all the Exchange Server 2003 Standard and SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition servers in the domain.

Q: Is there a whitepaper on adding a third party trusted certificate to the Windows SBS 2003 environment?

A: Please see https://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sbs/2003/support/64a59852-0a8f-4195-808d-87136e960249.mspx?mfr=true.

Q: Is it possible to print out the server's configuration settings?

A: Yes, every wizard has a configuration summary page. You can either print it at the end of the wizard or navigate to c:\program files\microsoft windows small business server and access the logs in the various wizard subdirectories.

Q: Under email retrieval method options in the CEICW, can I select both Use the Microsoft Connector for POP3 and E-mail is delivered directly to my server?

A: Yes.

Q: Is there information on setting up ISA Server 2004 with 3 network cards?

A: Please see https://www.microsoft.com/technet/isa/2004/plan/gettingstarted\_4.mspx, Scenario 4: Create a perimeter network using the Network Template Wizard.

Q: What is meant by VPN Ports? Are these like TCP ports?

A: VPN ports are “end-points” that remote users connect to in order to access a private network. You need to configure as many end-points as you will have concurrently connected remote users. The default after running the CEICW is five. All PPTP-based VPN connections use TCP port 1723 to establish the connection. TCP ports and VPN ports are different kinds of ports.

Q: Would one of the static IP addresses excluded in the default DHCP scope created by the CEICW be used for a direct attached printer?

A: Yes. Also, you could choose to create another exclusion range just for printers, and use the lower IP address for member servers.

Q: What would it take to upgrade Windows SBS 2003 R2 to use ISA Server 2006?

A: The network configuration tools that are included with Windows SBS 2003 R2 do not support the new functionality that is included with ISA Server 2006. For this reason, do not install ISA Server 2006 on your server that is running Windows SBS 2003 R2.

Q: Does Microsoft have any instructions/documentation for the famous "swing" migration that so many consultants use?

A: Microsoft recognizes the “swing” migration method and it does work, however technically is not supported by Microsoft. For more information on this method, see https://www.sbsmigration.com/migration-projects.php#what-is-a-swing-migration.

Q: Can Windows SBS 2003 generated self-signed certificates be used with Internet Explorer 7?
