So, its here at last. One problem, I have developed my sales pitch into SBS 2003 Premium such a wonderful product, monitoring internet useage, integrated firewall etc etc. What are others planning to use to provide similar solutions?

2nd question, has anyone tried migration using VM server in a live domain?

Im planning to use the downgrade feature of SBS 2008 to keep selling 2003 as I have yet to be convinced that 2008 is better. Its all fine with technet saying that UPNP will configure ports on firewalls etc, but UPNP is dangerous so im not convinced its the best thing to suggest.

Also the doubling of the cost for less apps doesn't make sense. i.e., the loss of ISA. Now we have to buy £100+ firewalls to give the same level of security. I have clients that block net access in office hours. how's that going to work in the future?

im happy to play with it here in the office, but at a clients? not until im forced to.
