In writing this book, I wanted you to be able to achieve a simple set of goals:
Install or migrate to SBS 2008 without any emergencies
Understand the decisions behind your actions
Enable your users to interact and gain benefit from SBS 2008
Enable SBS 2008 to be supported and reliable after the installation
In the installation and configuration sections, I endeavor to explain why we need to carry out a task and how you will carry it out. Where possible, I also explain what the options are, what might go astray, and in such situations, how you would understand or recover.
This should lead to a system that not only works today, but with good ongoing tender loving care remain reliable through its lifetime.
Because I do believe that every SBS 2008 system should have a business ROI plan behind it, enabling users to make the most of the system is also vital and has a whole chapter devoted purely to it.
