Internet access is a must for small businesses in today’s marketplace. Windows Small Business Server 2003 has everything a business needs to take advantage of Internet connectivity. The out-of-the-box tools provide a manageable solution for shared access to the Internet, a firewall to help protect your local network, Internet e-mail based on Exchange Server, and productivity tools such as Outlook® Web Access and the Remote Web Workplace to help users continue to work and collaborate from any computer with Internet access.

Small Business Intranet with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services

Windows Small Business Server 2003 provides a preconfigured internal Web site based on Windows SharePoint Services. Using this intranet site, co-workers can share information in a collaborative environment. This site includes shared document libraries, announcements, events, and links.

Remote Access

To accommodate an increasingly mobile work force, Windows Small Business Server 2003 includes the new Remote Web Workplace, a Web site for remote users that provides access to e-mail, remote desktops, the company’s internal Web site, and remote server management capabilities for Administrators.

Mobility

Windows Small Business Server 2003 provides a compelling mobile user solution that enables users to access their e-mail, schedule, calendar, and task information using their mobile phones and other portable devices when they are away from the office. This feature is built on the Exchange Server 2003 Outlook Mobile Access (OMA) feature. Windows Small Business Server 2003 simplifies the set up and configuration of the portable devices.

Server Administration and Management

Windows Small Business Server 2003 includes updated, end-to-end network administration features to help ensure that the network runs efficiently. Wizards simplify common or repetitive tasks, and preconfigured management consoles provide the necessary tools to manage the network.

Adding Users and Setting Up Client Computers

Windows Small Business Server 2003 includes updated Client Setup features for creating user accounts and setting up client computers quickly and efficiently. New features include: client network configuration using a Web site instead of a floppy disk, user templates, the ability to preconfigure client applications, integrated wizards, and enhanced mobile and remote-user tools. These new features make it easier to deploy, configure, and administer user and computer accounts.
In previous versions of Small Business Server, only one user account could be added at a time. In Windows Small Business Server 2003, you can add multiple user accounts based on the same user template by using the Add User Wizard.

Setting Up Additional Server Computers

With Windows Small Business Server 2003, one or more additional servers can be added to your network. Additional servers can run client or server applications or can be used to enable a Terminal Server connection.

The monitoring and reporting tools can be used to ensure that the server remains healthy and can help reduce downtime by enabling you to respond quickly when issues arise. These tools help increase business productivity and customer satisfaction.

Backup and Restore

Windows Small Business Server 2003 offers an integrated backup solution that helps technology providers and novice administrators develop their backup strategy, prepare complete backups, and restore the entire server and all of the data that was backed up.
