Good local review on EBS 2008

I must have overlooked this somehow when it first came out & so here you go, apcmagpro.com's: First look at Essential Business Server 2008.

It's a solid companion piece to the author's, Paul Schnackenburg, review of SBS 2008.

Quick snippet:

"Microsoft wins the hearts of IT people with easy-to-use interfaces. EBS is no exception, offering a new, tab-based integrated UI for all common tasks. Things you can do in the Administration Console without having to open other management tools are create user accounts, assign CALs, allocate Exchange mailboxes, work with distribution lists and security groups, and redirect Documents / My Documents folders to the server."

And his summary:

"Overall, for a business that’s ready for an infrastructure upgrade, EBS is the right product, technically as well as financially."

Enjoy.
