An SBS server must be a domain controller and must hold the FSMO roles for the domain. As for the rest of SBS' bundled apps (in Standard edition, that's Exchange and WSS), they're installed by default, but you can of course disable the services or just ignore them. It's not like the presence of those things is going to impact performance in any meaningful way. Carl

Because of the remote devices, WinXP will have its 10 connection limit exceeded, As SBS is cheaper (price sensitive shop) can I install *just* the OS without the bloatware or does it come bundled during installation with all that crap?
