Product Information
In today's competitive business environment, many small companies seek
more powerful ways to manage tasks and communicate. Microsoft Small Business
Server can help your growing business communicate better, enhance customer
service, manage growth, project your image via the Internet, simplify daily
tasks, and focus on other strategic objectives.
Microsoft Small Business Server works with the business systems you have now and will work with the technology you'll need in the future. That means you can preserve your current investments while enjoying the advantages of new technologies.
Microsoft Small Business Server features award-winning products that
give you everything you need to run a growing business. Designed for companies
with 25 or
fewer PCs, it's an ideal, integrated solution for sharing files, databases,
printers, electronic mail, fax services, applications, and other resources
with anyone, anywhere, at any time — all from one integrated server. You
get advanced communication services and fast, flexible access to the Internet.
Best of all, the server is exceptionally easy to set up, manage, and use,
so you can get up and running with it right away.
File, print, and application services
Microsoft Small Business Server combines proven server products for
running any growing business:
Microsoft Windows NT® Server is a secure, reliable network operating system on which your small business can easily run business applications as well as share documents, data, printers, and other resources.

Software developers have already created more than 2,000 applications and tools that work with Microsoft Small Business Server to meet specific business needs.
Communicate in new, more efficient ways
Many growing businesses have discovered the power of the Internet and
internal Intranets as information resources and collaboration tools. The
products in Microsoft Small Business Server make it a snap to communicate
across the hall or across the world:
Microsoft Exchange Server with Microsoft Outlook™, desktop information manager, can help your business build an online community by using graphically rich electronic mail, discussion groups, list servers, and other groupware features.
Microsoft FAX Server provides a centrally managed facility for sending and receiving faxes from desktop PCs.
Internet Connection Wizard can quickly locate an Internet Service Provider and help get your business on the Internet fast.
Microsoft FrontPage® 97, web site creation and management tool, makes it easy to create and manage professional-looking Web sites without programming.
Microsoft Proxy Server provides fast, secure access to the Internet from individual desktop PCs.
Modem Sharing Server makes it easy to share modems from a central location.
How could Microsoft Small Business Server help your business communicate and collaborate better? By breaking down the barriers that traditionally separate people from the information they need to work effectively.
Customer support is an example. Before, you may have maintained an expensive sales and support group to help customers find information about your products. With Microsoft Small Business Server, you can create discussion groups, Web pages, list servers, and knowledge bases that are accessible to anyone, anywhere, 24 hours a day — at very little cost. And you can foster closer relationships with customers by easily creating automated mass mailings and faxes.
Microsoft Small Business Server can also help you schedule meetings with employees, customers, and business associates, and assign and manage tasks among team members regardless of their location — all without expensive conference calls. Or you can publish a White Pages directory of names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers to ease collaboration between employees and associates.
Easy to set up, manage, and grow
Installing Microsoft Small Business Server is extraordinarily easy.
Automated tools walk you through the entire setup process, from creating
users to attaching printers and connecting to the Internet:

Setup Computer Wizard provides a simple, quick way to add new PCs to your network.
Small Business Server Console puts all server management tasks in a central, intuitive location, complete with Wizards that walk you step-by-step through common tasks.
