Server exchange
Hello and congratulations for the great professionalism and availability that you offer, I wanted to ask having to install and configure a mail server for a company also having the static IP, I was wondering if it is better to take sbs2011 which has already included inside exchange 2010 with a minimum configuration and its connector, or use win server 2008 R2 with Exchange 2010 and create everything from scratch?. P.s. The hardware does not think it is a problem given that I have an HP Proliant D360 g7 with 25GB of ram and 2 hd 500gb sas in raid mirroring. I thank all those who want to give me advice.

1. Depends on your requirements, what suits your business. 2. Compare SBS 2011 with Exch 2010/W2K8R2 and look at what both offer. If you're only interested in exch, then I would deploy exch on server 2008r2. 3. There quite a few differences betrween both choices, in terms of users CAL, features, products included, licensing cost etc.. http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/en-us/default.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/sbs/en/us/compare-features.aspxSukh

Thank you for your response, I gave a look at the links provided, and I understand the various differences between versions, but my problem is more technical, or you being the guru and I'm not much on the topic introduced exchange, but with is the need to make this personal mail server for a company, you wonder if you could kindly give me some good guidance as both the network library that I could not find anything that allows me to start, and then having to publish dns , A, MX, TXT, PTR and other, better off using sbs2011 which has already included a connector and a minimum configuration of exchange, or having to make a personal mail server do not need a percutaneous connector, and a smart host should set things with win 2008 R2 and Exchange Server 2010, and save on the cost of sbs2011?. Safe in one of your kind reply, thank you for the interest, I apologize for the language and the banality of the application.
