The World’s Fastest Small Business Server

Date November 11, 2010

One sunny day while mowing the yard with the old John Deere I thought, “How cool would it be if I could mount a Small Business Server on this lawn tractor?" The answer (as you already know) is “not very cool”. Nobody wants to see a lawn mower running Exchange and SharePoint. Obviously, I need [...]

SBS 2008 Unleashed Book

Date November 26, 2008

Back in 2005 I was privileged to be one of the co-authors of “Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Unleashed”.

Installing WSS v3 on a Member Server in an SBS Network

Date September 24, 2007

If you’ve got a member server in your SBS network (especially if that server is a beefy SQL box) it may make sense from a performance standpoint to install Windows SharePoint Services version 3 on the member server instead of directly on the SBS box.  This is actually a pretty straight-forward process, but in case [...]

Solutions: GOOD – Back in the day we used to fix this problem manually by uploading the 16×16 PDF icon, updating the XML file, and restarting IIS.  Tedious, but effective. BETTER – Then in 2004 Chad Gross [SBS-MVP] created [...]
