One reason you may not find much info is that the best practice typically is
to not use your SBS for web sites exposed to the internet and better to have
a separate web server. Are you using your SBS for file sharing or important
databases? Is it a standalone server not connected to any workstations? Does
your business rely on it and how critical would it be if it wasn't
available? You need to determine if the benefits outweigh the risks.
