Q: Is there any way to get the POP3 Connector to retrieve e-mail LESS than every 15 minutes?

A: No.

Q: Is it possible to add external email addresses to an Exchange Server 2003 distribution group?

A: Yes.

Q: Can you host public facing web sites on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition behind ISA Server in a Windows SBS 2003 environment?

A: Yes.

Q: Is the POP3 Connector an exclusive component of Windows Small Business Server 2003?

A: Yes. It is not included in other versions of Exchange Server 2003.

Q: Is the FTP Server available in the Standard Edition of Windows SBS 2003 or only the Premium Edition?

A: FTP Server is a component of IIS, and is available on all Windows Server platforms.

Q: When you use or assign a static IP address in SBS, must you also make a "reservation" in DHCP?

A: No. The more typical approach would be to use an IP address that is part of an exclusion range for the DHCP scope. In Windows SBS 2003, the default scope’s IP address range is 192.168.16.1 through 192.168.16.254. The IP address range 192.168.16.1 through 192.168.16.10 is excluded from automatic assignments, so you would use them for your static IP addresses.

Q: I only have a few Windows SharePoint Services web parts, but accessing the web part gallery takes forever. How can I speed this up?
A: Please see https://wss.collutions.com/Lists/FAQ/DispForm.aspx?ID=378 for some suggestions with this issue.
