Re: How many hours for an SBS implementation?

Then you dont want to install it.

If you want to have this server working properly then you need to install
all disks, do not stop on disk 1 then this will take 5 hrs plus... got all
those updates too.

SBS wants to work one way and you want to 'break it' so you will get
problems.

Why did you buy it ?

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone tell me how many hours they think it will take to configure/
implement a newly installed SBS 2003 (not including hardware setup) ?
To give you some specific details, we have 3 user computers, we are
not using the exchange features, and we will primarily use it as a
file server.

Thanks!
