Introduction
This year’s Business Software Review again uses Microsoft’s Small Business Server 2008 – a domain controller and Microsoft Exchange server for up to 75 users. Our scenario assumes that the security software will initially be installed by an experienced IT consultant who is familiar with SBS, but that everyday management and monitoring may be undertaken by a non-expert administrator who has other responsibilities in the company, and only looks after IT administration part-time. We feel this is a typical situation found in many small companies with fewer than about 25 PCs. The review thus looks at the installation from the point of view of an IT professional, though we assume that he/she is not familiar with any one particular product, merely the principles behind corporate antivirus systems.
