David... I'm not paid by Microsoft. I'm a partner in a CPA firm.

Oh gawd David... don't start on the TS on a separate box thing... as a
person who put a TS in my office there's no way I'd put TS on my domain
controller with the number of insecurities I introduced on my box.

I'm a volunteer here dude and I don't get paid by Microsoft.

Unless an email address ends in @microsoft.com all the other folks out
here are volunteers too... freely sharing in their information.

www.msmvps.com/bradley... I pay for the domain for that too...
www.sbslinks.com... pay for that out of my pocket too.

sorry but you just rubbed me the wrong way with that assumption of yours.

This is a peer sharing group dude for a Windows product.

Excuse me if I like it and the community of SBS, you see a Microsoft
certified partner tried to talk me out of it and I blew him off and
installed it myself.
