This is how it works with the build in server backup program. What you need is you're SBS 2011 dvd or iso and a successful windows server backup. In this blog post (click here) I described how to configure the sbs server backup. If you have a hardware error fix this first. Then start the server from your SBS. At long last, you can finally get your grubby little mitts on all of the SBS 2011 download bits. (Hey, I made a rhyme!) The whole gang is available now online.

Hi, My SBS 2011 Standard installation has gone haywire causing huge problems here - basically the SBS console is dead. After hours of research it seems I need a second disk for SBS to repair it. My SBS installation as downloaded as part of our action pack subscription - it was one large (8GB) DVD image and there was no options to download a second disk (and there still isn't - I've checked). Can someone please confirm how I can get hold of one? It seems ridiculous that a disk purely used for repairing installations isn't readily available. We're a Microsoft Partner and software reseller and I still can't get my hands on it?! Hi Ed, Thanks - I've contacted our distributor (TechData) but they can't help (we didn't buy SBS through them - as I say it's part of our Partner actionscript subscription but disc 2 has never been available for download there.

It seems odd to me that there would be a disk 2 since moving SBS media to DVD? Any other ideas? This is completely legitimate and we have a licensed version of SBS but it seems we can't get the repair disc! I've tried contact Microsoft through the partner network but its a joke.

Hi Justin, Many thanks - I really appreciate you taking the time do this! Unfortunately I don't have a technet subscription (don't need one as we have the Action Pack subscription) so when I login, I get the same message as you above 'There is no subscription associated with your Microsoft Account'. When I try and add a subscription, it actually lists MPN Technical contact as an option so I dutifully entered my Microsoft Partner Network tech ID but it kicks back telling me: ' Whoops!

Unrecognized Subscription Data Entered We're sorry, but the data you entered could not be located in our system. There are few common reasons for this error.

Windows SBS 2011 Standard Trial Available • By • Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard is now available as free trial download. Microsoft released SBS 2011 Standard to its hardware manufacturing partners back, but public trial copies of the server software were not available at that time. The free 180-day evaluation software can be downloaded at Microsoft's SBS portal page. Microsoft also provides a series of videos about features in SBS 2011 Standard. The evaluation copy can be converted easily to the licensed version if wanted, according to. SBS 2011 Standard provides management, backup and restore capabilities, network and client security, plus remote access to e-mail, calendar and contacts data for organizations with up to 75 users. Using this server entails paying client access licensing (CAL) costs.

The options include buying licensing by device ('device CAL') or per individual accessing the server ('user CAL'). Licensing details are summarized by Microsoft.

SBS 2011 Standard shares many features with SBS 2011 Essentials (formerly code-named 'Aurora'), although Essentials is limited to small businesses with up to 25 users. There are no client access licensing costs associated with Essentials, but it lacks some capabilities found in SBS 2011 Standard such as Web site hosting, Exchange for e-mail and SharePoint integration, according to Microsoft's. Essentials users get support for individual PC backups, but users of SBS 2011 Standard don't have that support. It's not clear why Microsoft omitted that feature in SBS 2011 Standard. Essentials and Standard users can both add SQL Server support for line-of-business applications, as well as support for technologies in Windows Server 2008 R2, by purchasing Windows SBS 2011 Premium Add-on software. Windows Server 2008 R2 technologies supported by the add-on include Remote Desktop Services and Hyper-V virtualization. Exactly when SBS 2011 Standard products will be available on the market depend on Microsoft's hardware partners.

It's thought that manufacturers such as Acer, Dell, Fujitsu and HP, among others, will roll out those server products sometime next month.
