I have recently done an implementation of Network Access Protection (NAP) for a Mid-Market Client, and we have delivered some benefits which were not part of our original planning. I won’t go into too much about their specifics but will cover the scenario...

I was reading Karls blog earlier today and he was talking about how to not be "Interrupt Driven" and it got me thinking about how we work and yes we are very much dominated by our helpfulness. So how do we get out of this hole we have dug with...

When I wrote the post about what SQL instance and version should we install SCE 2007 to , I was pretty sure my best practice would be the copy of Express that ships with SCE 2007 I do know that running SCE 2007 on SBS 2003 R2 Premium DOES work with the...

When I asked around about issues people have had deploying SCE 2007 on SBS 2003 R2 Premium, I was told there were some issues with SQL Server (2005 Workgroup Edition). I have not been able to collect the exact issues because many of the people are working...

When I created SME Managed I really wanted to keep all the design, support and management information in the SME space together where I could refer people to it. I already had Mackie.is-a-geek.net and it is a mix of all geeky things I want to talk about...

The first go through I installed an SBS 2003 R2 Standard Edition Server on VMware Server.

I thought about only documenting the Device Management portion because we have a scheduled task to pick up all Servers and Workstations at 3AM Daily, but because I need instant gratification I thought so would many others.
I don't actually have any other servers or desktops in the SCE Lodge right now so this would actually discover any computers but I want to follow the deployment process for installing a green field.

There has been a good deal of Community conversation about the suitability of System Center Essentials 2007 for installation on Small Business Server 2003 SP1 / R2 and while I maintain the opinion that all SCE 2007 installs in SBS 2003 Networks should be done on dedicated Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition servers, this build has (so far) not shown to cause significant issues with the Features or Functionality of the SBS 2003 R2 Server.
This guide has been written with a Default Installation of an un-patched version of SBS 2003 R2 as the base. The configuration is Single NIC with Local Router.

I installed SCE 2007 in my lab today, and as I do with all my Lab Machines had installed Logmein Free so I could show people features or builds when out and about. After all you can only share so much RDP in a NAT'ed Config. After the install, the...
