Q: Can the version of Windows SharePoint Services included with Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 be upgraded to WSS 3.0?
A: Yes, please see www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0daafc81-efff-4f5b-a28a-8265f1e99f5b.

Q: Can you explain more about the 75 concurrent users-or-devices limitation of Windows Small Business Server?
A: A user CAL permits one user (using any device) to access the server software. A device CAL permits one device (used by any user) to access the server software. Both types are offered to allow customers cost-effective licensing options. For example, per-user CALs are most effective when an employee uses several devices to access the server, such as a work computer and a home computer. Per-device CALs are most effective when several employees use the same device to access the server, such as rotating shifts in a call center.

Q: Is TCP port 80 open by default on ISA Server 2004?
A: No. In a Windows Small Business Server 2003 environment, you would run the CEICW to open this port if appropriate for your network.

Q: You haven't mentioned anything about Windows Vista in the Windows SBS 2003 environment. Is this not a testing issue or can you explain if there are any issues?
A: Windows Vista is not specifically covered on the 70-282 exam. However, there are several things you need to be aware of when joining Windows Vista clients to a Windows SBS 2003 network. We will soon be posting a step-by-step walkthrough of this process, in the meantime please see https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=46E95C56-1A4C-45BD-8D69-5F41FF8F1F22&displaylang=en.
