First this isn't my stron suit at all, I'm a printer/copier guy who does network work and setups so bare with me. We currently have Server 2003 running, on that server we our main software that supports are dispatch,billing, inventory etc.. It runs on SQL server database. We also backup all pc's to this machine and use it as a print server for tested all our copiers and printers we sell. Our email is hosted through a local company and all our mobile email is run through gmail accounts using pop forwarding to our droid devices and we are also using the shared calendar service provided by them. We are a company wich will probable never excedd 25 people and are currently at about 17 employees with only 11 terminals. Currently we are working in a workgroup, but we would rather have users log on to the domain and gain the control provided by it. Since we are so small I was thinkng that is would be pointless to get Exchange server since there aren't that many users and our current email and calendar solution works pretty well for us. A local company is suggested SBS standard which it seems we don't need since we really don't need Exchange or the ability to have 75 users connect. Also it looks like liscencing is more expensive for additional user with the sbs then just a server with 2008 thrown on it. I'm just not sure which way to go and really how the liscencing per user really works. I'm more or less looking for something fatser then our current server that provides the ability to run our main software, do synchronised pc backups, print server. If anyone doesn't mind taking the time to enlighten me on how I might figure out more of what I need, how liscencing works or even potential hardware it would really be appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.
