Your small business has many ongoing needs: to better organize and protect business information, to communicate effectively and professionally with customers and suppliers, and to make the most of your existing computers and office equipment. Introducing the right technology into your business can help you accomplish these goals and save you time and money, keeping you focused on your business, not on technology. The foundation of an effective technology solution starts with a network.
The ideal first-server solution for a small business, Windows Small Business Server 2003, is an affordable network solution. Easy-to-use, it offers power and functionality that help your business stay productive, efficient and competitive. Whether you have one employee or seventy-five, Standard Edition or Premium Edition delivers the right solution.

Windows Small Business Server 2003 delivers a range of technologies that directly address the security issues faced by you. With it, you can automatically protect your business information in 15 essential ways:

1.   Enabled firewall closes all external network ports by default, meaning your business will automatically be protected from unauthorized access.

2.   Internet Connection Wizard provides a simple path to securely establish an Internet connection.

3.   Windows Update keeps your software up-to-date with security updates and patches.

4.   Remote Web Workspace allows secure remote access to the business data residing on your server via any Internet browser. As a result, you can access your files and folders when away from your desk or office.

5.   Backup Configuration Wizard simplifies the task of backing up your business data.

6.   My Documents Redirect enables files to be stored on the server where they can be backed up regularly, still enabling users to access a local copy. As a result, you will experience fewer interruptions to your day and, perhaps more importantly, you can continue to use your business documents while they are backed up.

7.    Volume Shadow Copy backs up files so end users can easily restore deleted files without calling their IT professional. This means you can easily restore your accidentally deleted files.

8.   Active Directory and Group Policy helps you to control which employees and technology providers have access to what resources on your network.

9.   Single User Name and Strong Passwords allow access to Windows XP and resources on the Windows Small Business Server 2003 network, protecting against unauthorized access.

10. Failed network logons are reported t o your IT professional or network administrator.

11. Improved junk mail controls create a black list to lock out known spammers.

12. Dangerous email attachments are automatically removed upon receipt.

13. Server Status Reporting Tool sends server performance reports, available via Remote Web Workspace or email to help your IT professional or technology provider, enabling them to keep track of server performance and often solve problems before you even realise they exist.

14. Remote Access Support makes it easier to assist users no matter where the technical assistance originates.

15. Policy-based Access Control makes it easier to assist users no matter where the technical assistance originates.
