All 4 offices are independently ran and do not share any files. It's a dental office so its not too complex. Although central administration would be nice, I don't think that is in the road map. However, if the owner decides to centralize management, I think going the route of Server 2008 would be the best bet.

If there are many then integration makes even more sense. Just because the network is connected doesn't mean they can't appear to run independent. There are benefits to central administration/management.

There is no need to integrate them. I guess I'll just test out the features and see how it goes. Thanks for the input. Looks like I'm leaning towards Server 2008. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 11:44 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: SBS Standard 2011 or Server 2008 R2 On Wed, Jun 6, 2012 at 1:33 PM, Jimmy Tran <[email protected]> wrote: > They will have no more than 20 per office and each office will be > setup independent of each other. Either that won't last, or the company won't. So I'd try to get them to plan for eventual integration of the various office networks. Which again rules out SBS. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
