SBS 2008 RC1 Is Out

Microsoft have made SBS 2008 RC1 available via Public Preview. It can be downloaded from here.

Other useful links from the TechNet site:

Release Notes, Installation Guide, SBS Documentation, SBS Resources and the SBS 2008 Evaluation Centre.

 

Very handy documents to download and read:

Windows Small Business Server 2008 Installation Guide

Windows Small Business Server 2008 Console Help

Windows Small Business Server 2008 Migration Help

Migrating to Windows Small Business Server 2008 from Windows Small Business Server 2003

Migrating to Windows Small Business Server 2008 from Windows Small Business Server 2008

Windows Small Business Server 2008 Release Candidate Reviewer’s Guide

 

Three very useful resources to keep an eye on while evaluating and testing SBS 2008:

The Official SBS Blog

SBSfaq.com

Smallbizserver.Net

 

And finally, if you plan on testing this in a Virtual Machine, check out:

VMWare Settings for SBS 2008

Note that SBS 2008 requires 4GB of RAM. It won’t install with any less memory than this. You can use an evaluation of VMWare Workstation or either VMWare Server or VMWare Server 2.0 Release Candidate. Both VMWare Workstation and VMWare Server 2.0 Release Candidate support USB 2.0 devices, so you can test server backups/recovery with removable USB drives with these products.
