I blogged a long time ago about what I thought "Could" be done to make the SCE removal palatable . Gwen Zierdt left a comment saying "Good analysis on pricing. Stay tuned for some potential licensing promos later this year. " and of...
Now that it has been said in public I can finally say SCE 2007 in SBS 2008 is GONE and yes I am Pissed about it. I like many, feel as though we have been lied to. I have known this for a little while but due to NDA have had to keep choking down the bile...
Firstly thanks Susan for the link and if folk want to know lots about SCE 2007 there is lots out there and when I finish letting my business run my life I'll do some more on http://SMEManaged.com too. Plus some other pretty cool tools I have been...
So I was reading what Charles Van Heusen has had to say about the up coming Windows Small Business Server Codename Cougar What I can share about the versions is outlined in the slide above, the "standard edition" will include Windows Server...
When I wrote the post about what SQL instance and version should we install SCE 2007 to , I was pretty sure my best practice would be the copy of Express that ships with SCE 2007 I do know that running SCE 2007 on SBS 2003 R2 Premium DOES work with the...
When I asked around about issues people have had deploying SCE 2007 on SBS 2003 R2 Premium, I was told there were some issues with SQL Server (2005 Workgroup Edition). I have not been able to collect the exact issues because many of the people are working...
When I tried to install System Center Essentials 2007 on SBS 2003 R2 Premium Edition, I received an installation failure. Viewing the Setup log file revealed errors setting up reporting services. ------------------------------------------------------...
In the course of developing some of the builds for SCE 2007 on SBS 2003, my server threw an error and asked permission to send error information. As you can see the dialogue box says Please tell SMEManaged01_MG about this problem. I am curious why this...
I have spent some time this week installing System Center Essentials 2007 on SBS 2003 SP1 / R2 with some interesting conclusions, lets go on the journey.
The first go through I installed an SBS 2003 R2 Standard Edition Server on VMware Server.
I created the base server with:
127GB IDE disk,...
I thought about only documenting the Device Management portion because we have a scheduled task to pick up all Servers and Workstations at 3AM Daily, but because I need instant gratification I thought so would many others.
I don't actually have any other servers or desktops in the SCE Lodge right now so this would actually discover any computers but I want to follow the deployment process for installing a green field.

Assuming you conducted the installation I described for SBS 2003 SP1 / R2 the launch of the Essentials console and subsequent run of the initial configuration process is cancelled so we can cleanup the certificates for the default web....
There has been a good deal of Community conversation about the suitability of System Center Essentials 2007 for installation on Small Business Server 2003 SP1 / R2 and while I maintain the opinion that all SCE 2007 installs in SBS 2003 Networks should be done on dedicated Windows 2003 R2 Standard Edition servers, this build has (so far) not shown to cause significant issues with the Features or Functionality of the SBS 2003 R2 Server. This guide has been written with a Default Installation of an un-patched version of SBS 2003 R2 as the base. The configuration is Single NIC with Local Router. ...
I was reading Gwen Zierdt - The Real World Is Messy , in particular an interview with David Mills, a member of the System Center Essentials 2007 Marketing team. I found this very interesting and of course now want to find a Beta for SP1 so I can check...
When I start an install task, I try to gather as many of the required tools and fixes as possible. I knew there were some hotfixes available and was pretty happy to see there was a rollup which would save me some time. So I grabbed the executable so I...
I installed SCE 2007 in my lab today, and as I do with all my Lab Machines had installed Logmein Free so I could show people features or builds when out and about. After all you can only share so much RDP in a NAT'ed Config. After the install, the...
