SBS (Small Business Server) 2011 is an all in one suite based on Windows Server 2008 R2. It comes in two editions:<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials<\/p>\n

The standard edition provides a complete server solution for small businesses with up to 75 users. It includes Exchange 2010 SP1, SharePoint Foundation 2010, WSUS and of course, the Windows Server 2008 R2 technologies.<\/p>\n

In a series of Screencasts we will present Step-by-Step both editions of SBS 2011.
\nIn the first Screencast of the SBS 2011 series we will demonstrate how to install SBS 2011 standard edition.
\nAnother option in SBS 2011 is the ability to simplify and automate the SBS portion of the installation using an answer file. We demonstrate this approach too, and you can see that it also allows you to choose the internal Active Directory DNS name. If you are not looking for automating the second stage but just need the extra choice for specifying the AD name, you can use an empty answer file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":371,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.netometer.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
