Microsoft on Friday said it has completed development on Small Business Server 2008 and that the software will hit its targeted ship date of Nov. 12.
The company also said it is introducing the option to purchase single CALs. Previously, users had to purchase them in blocks of five. In addition, the CALs will apply to copies of Windows Server, SQL Server, and Exchange Server running outside the Essential Server environment.
In SBS 2008, Microsoft has added tools to manage domain names and data folders, monitoring that stretches across servers and clients, customized and remotely available reports, and block-based server protection to speed backups.
