WINDOWS SBS 2003 - T73-00494
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs/browse_thread/thread/7f04457b3558b39f/62a3a9614507e66b?hl=en&lnk=st&q=T73-00494#62a3a9614507e66b

Sound familiar Nat?

This product is essential CD1 of the SBS 2003 multi-disk set. It's Windows
2003 Standard and does not contain any of the components (Exchange, etc.) of
SBS 2003. As Cris said, it's limited to CALs maximum and must be installed
as a domain controller holding all 5 FMSO roles. Basically, if you have a
small office that needs a domain controller for authentication and
file/print serving, the T73-00494 may be fine. However, if you want
Exchange, RWW and all the other stuff that comes with SBS 2003, then it's
not the right product.

Another case where Ebay hasn't saved you a dime. (sorry, I'm not an Ebay
fan - it's like the wild west but with less law and order).

Of course much of the blame I place on Microsoft because they are the ones
who gave this software it's name and created the confusion in the first
place. (Thanks Microsoft Marketing).
