The small-medium enterprise segment of the IT market continues to grow rapidly We have already had proven success with a beginner-level SBS book This follow-on book covers the new release of SBS and additional premium features, and completes our line of SBS information that surpasses other publishers’ forays into this space

<P>The Small-to-Medium Enterprise (SME) marketplace is by far the least supported of all businesses with regards to Information Technology. These are not home users (for whom there is an extremely lucrative and supportive publishing industry) and they are not large scale customers who have a dedicated set of ‘expert’ publishers companies producing professional guides for every conceivable piece of IT. The main problem for the typical SME is scarce money. They rely on technology: networks must function full-time, configuration of critical systems is essential, system and data security are vital but cost-constrained, backup and restore habits must be rigorous, and they need to ‘fix’ problems quickly and inexpensively. This is where this book comes in. It gives a no-nonsense insight into exactly what to do with Microsoft’s Small Business Server, making it easy for the SME owner to set up and configure a fully operational IT infrastructure with no hassle.</P>
