Introduction

When local area networks (LANs) first appeared in the business world, their primary functions were to share files and printers. These are still critical applications for most business networks, but networks are able to provide many other functions as well. Virtually all business owners want to provide their users with access to the Internet and email, but they must be able to do so securely. Many businesses also want to host their own websites and run specialized applications. Windows Server 2008 R2 provides many of these functions, and other Microsoft products provide those that it does not provide. For example, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 SP1 provides comprehensive email services and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 provides a robust database management environment.

Installing and configuring these Microsoft products usually requires a certain amount of experience and expertise. Companies with the appropriate resources purchase the products they need and hire IT personnel to install and maintain their networks. However, there are a great many small businesses that cannot afford to keep full-time IT people on staff, or even purchase some of the more expensive networking software products. It is for this reason that Microsoft developed the Small Business Server 2011 product.

Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) 2011 is a combination product that includes Windows Server 2008 R2, Exchange Server 2010, several other components, and (optionally) SQL Server 2008 R2, all for an attractive price. Even more attractive to the small business owner, however, is the fact that the product includes a setup program that installs and configures all the software components at once, using a standardized configuration that requires almost no user interaction.

In addition to the setup program, Windows SBS 2011 includes Windows SBS Console, a management program that provides simplified access to the most commonly used administrative controls. The end result is a sophisticated network environment that can support up to 75 users, and that many small businesses can afford to purchase, deploy, and maintain without full-time professional IT talent.

Who This Book Is For

Windows Small Business Server 2011 Administrators Pocket Consultant is designed to help new and relatively inexperienced network administrators deploy and maintain a Windows SBS 2011 network. However, experienced administrators who are new to Windows SBS 2011 can also benefit.

How This Book Is Organized

The book first takes you through the process of planning a small business network, evaluating and purchasing the required hardware, installing Windows SBS 2011, and performing the required post-installation tasks. For first-time network administrators, there is a chapter called , which provide background information on basic networking and directory service concepts. More experienced administrators can skip these sections or refer to them as needed.

Once you have planned, assembled, installed, and configured your network, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Administrators Pocket Consultant takes you through the process of administering the various network applications using the tools provided with Windows SBS 2011. Windows Server 2008 R2, Exchange Server 2010, and SQL Server 2008 R2 are all large and complex products, each of which can support a book of its own. In fact, there are separate Administrators Pocket Consultants for all of these products available from Microsoft Press.

Because it would not be possible to provide comprehensive coverage of all the Windows SBS 2011 components in one book of this size, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Administrators Pocket Consultant concentrates primarily on the basic administrative tasks you are likely to perform frequently, using the Windows SBS Console and other tools that are exclusive to Windows SBS 2011. For example, the book only covers the process of creating user and computer objects in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) using the Windows SBS Console, but you can also create them using the Active Directory Users and Computers console.

Chapter 1. Introducing Windows Small Business Server 2011

Simply put, a server is a software application that provides services or furnishes resources to other computers. Although many organizations have computers that are dedicated to server tasks, virtually any computer can function as a server. If you use your Windows workstation to share files or a printer with other users, your computer is acting as a server. Medium-size and large businesses typically have multiple computers running various server applications. Separate computers might function as file servers, mail servers, database servers, and so on. In addition to its Windows Server products, Microsoft has a full line of server applications that can provide virtually any service a business might need.
