I am running SBS2003. There are versions of SBS with and without Sql Server. SBS does NOT support Terminal Services EXCEPT in Administration mode which allows only 2 concurrent connections.. I have had no problems running RB7 in Terminal Services. Sql Server has no UI at all, strictly for admin, TransSql for Stored Procedures, and structure design. In most operations, Sql Server is hugely overkill and a whole different set of admin responsibilities than a small business wants to be set upon, but some "advanced" accounting packages use SqlServer as their backend, so it would be a good fit if it was required.
