Windows Small Business Server

Windows Small Business Server

Windows Small busniess Server (SBS) (algselt, siis Microsoft Small Busniess Server) on intgreeritud Microsofti server, mis on loodud jooksutamaks veebi infrastuktuure (intraneti haldus kui ka Interneti sissepääs) mõldud nii väiksele kui ka veidi suurtematele ettevõtetele kus tööjaamade või kasutajate arv jääb alla 75.Serveri rakendused on kindlalt integreeritud, et lubada väike ettevõtetel kasutada suunatud lahendusi, nagu näiteks Remote Web Workplace, veel pakutakse integreeritud häälestuse ja laiendatud monitooringu võimalusi.

Windows Small Busniess Server ei ole tegelikult Windows Serveri operatsioonisüsteemi väljaanne, aga rohkem nagu tehnoloogia mis on kohandatud just nimelt väike ettevõtetele.Seda tõestab ka see, et serveri rakendused ei ole lihtsalt niisama puntras koos operatsioonisüsteemiga vaid on integreeritud otse opertastioonisüsteemi sisse.

Windows Serveri Väljaanded

Windows Small Busniess Server on saadaval nii Standart kui ka Premium versioonina. Mõlemad versioonid baseeruvad Windows Serveri koodil ja sisaldavad Microsoft Exchange Server maili serverit, Internet Information Services veebi serverit, Windows SharePoint Services, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 e-maili klienti (2008 versioonis seda lisa enam kaasas ei ole), Routing and Remote Access Service, Windows Server Update Services mis võimaldab serverit uuendada üle veebi ja ka Fax server.Kuni Small Busniess Server 2003, oli Preemium versioonis kaasas ka Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Internet Security ja Acceleration Server veel oli kaasas ka Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003.Small Busniess Server 2008 Preemiumis ei ole kaasas ISA Server, küll aga on kaasas Windows Server 2008 litsents ja SQL Server 2008 mis on mõeldud jooksutamaks teist serverit.

Windows Serveri versioon, mis on osa Small Busniess Server 2008'st ja Essential Busniess Server 2008'st,tuntud ka kui Windows Server 2008 for Windows Essential Server Solutions on kättesaadav ka ilma komplektita,lubades kuni 15 Client Access Litsentsi.

Esialgne Small Busniess Server turustati koos Microsoft BackOffice Server. Kui Windows 2000 väljalasti,turustati seda kui Microsoft Small Busniess Server 2005,ning lõpuks nimetati ümber kui Windows Server 2003 family. Microsoft on tutvustanud ka Windows Essential Busniess Serverit mis on eelkõige mõeldud keskmise suurusega firmadele.

Windows Small Busniess Serveri kitsendused

• Ainult üks arvuti domeenis võib jooksutada Windows Small Busniess Serverit.Ei ole öeldud, et domeen toetab ainult ühte serverit. Domeen toetab mitmeid servereid korraga,

aga ainult üks neist võib joosta Small Busniess Serveri operatsiooni süsteemil. Teised serverid võivad joosta mistahes teistel operatsioonisüsteemidel, näiteks Windows Server Standard Editionil.

• Windows Small Business Server peab oleme ühildatud Active Directoryga.
• Windows Small Business Server ei tohi usaldad ühtegi teist domeeni. Ei tohi olla üühtegi kõrval domeeni.
• Windows Small Business Server on limiteeritud 75 kasutaja või siis seadmete peale, oleneb milline CAL on kasutusel.
• Kõik Windows Small Business Server versioonid kuni SBS 2003 on limiteeritud 4GB rammiga.2008 nõuab minimaalselt 4gb ja toetab kuni 32gb rammi.
• Windows Small Business Server versioon nagu ka Windows Small Business Server 2008 on ainult saadaval x86 (32-bit).
• Windows Small Business Server 2008 on ainult saadaval x86-64 (64-bit). See on nii kuna Exchnage Server 2007 versioon on saadaval vaid 64-bitisena.32-bitine Exchange server on saadaval vaid testimiseks.
• SQL Server mis tuleb kaasa SBS 2008 on "SQL Server 2008 Standart Edition for Small Busniess". Seda ei saa installeerida ilma domeeni kuuluva interneti ja all 75 arvuti/kasutajata.
• Ainult Remote Desktop Administraator on lubatud kuna Small Business Server jookseb alati domeeni kontrolleri peal, ning ainult 2 järjestikku RDP sessiooni on lubatud.
• Kui neid kitsendusi tahetakse eemdalda ja uuendada windows serveri versiooni, siis on olemas Windows Small Busniess Server 2003 R2 Transition Pack mis eemdaldab need loetud kitsendused.
