Well, I know the basic benifits of AD and a central admin point, but
what i'm missing is why it's needed in my office. Like I said the
only real use i'm seeing for it right now is a database. The entire
network is a mess. There's an excessive use of switches and routers
for a 5 machine network, the machines are underpowered and cluttered,
the wiring is attrocious and other things are "off". WSUS isn't
setup, the server itself isn't even up to date. From the looks of it,
it hasn't been updated in upwards of a year, and now i'm afraid to
update for fear of applying an update that could break something
critical. All remote access and security for in and outbound traffic
is manged by a router/firewall.
So, fix SBS and then fix the hardware issues, one has nothing to do with
the other.
The reason for the AD environment is management, security, central
consolidation of files/resources, easy recover in the event of a
failure, sharing of resources, etc... Just because your physical network
is a mess doesn't mean you don't need SBS/AD and doesn't mean that SBS
is the reason.
"The machines are underpowered" has nothing to do with SBS/AD.
"Excessive use of routers/switches" has nothing to do with SBS/AD.
Do a backup and then update the server, it's that simple.
And since you need SQL, SBS is the Cheapest option out there for a MS
SQL Server.
