 Best SBS 2003 Book
I've read almost every SBS 2003 book, and this one is, by far, the best of the lot. It strikes the perfect balance between information and application. It is geared perfectly for those who are familiar with Windows, but may be new to SBS 2003, or Windows Server technologies in general.

br /It is the only book which advocates the POP3 connector over SMTP for Exchange in truly small businesses, which I strongly agree with. There are so many ways your Internet connection can be severed (power failure, ISP downtime, hardware failures, malware infections, etc) - why depend so strongly on such a weak link for your entire organization's email needs? Having a web/email host take care of these details is a much better value, and in virtually all cases, more secure. If you are a really small business without full-time IT support, you'll be much safer keeping your ports closed.

br /Bottom line: if you're setting up SBS 2003 for the first time and don't know where to start, this is your book.

Who should buy this book ?
I have always felt this book should be called "SBS foundations". This book forms a solid foundation for anyone wanting to be successful installing SBS server. The book covers SBS 2003 whithout assuming prior knowledge of SBS 2000 and is a very easy read. You will come to the end of this book knowing real world examples and situations. You will have the foundations you need to continue on in your career.
