I have come to the following conclusion. Is it correct?

Consider the "who and where" accounts you are logging on with at your
workstation

If you logon to/with your new SBS server account you may only have "user
rights". Trying to do an install on the local XP workstation may create
errors.

If you logon to your local workstation with "Administrator" rights you can
still access the network server for installing software.

Logging on to the server does not automatically convey the same "rights" on
the workstation.
