Announcement: Call-back support for Small Business Server Products
On August 1, 2008 the Small Business Server support business at Microsoft will implement a call-back model for all Professional SBS support incidents in the United States. Below is a description of how to contact Microsoft customer service.
Why are we moving to a call-back model?
1. To eliminate your hold time on the telephone
2. To collect the problem description and route the incident to the correct engineer
3. To prepare you for online incident submission @ https://support.microsoft.com/oas
