Don't treat this solely as a software package, though. The authors--the documentation team at Microsoft--have created a definitive document on Small Business Server 2000 as it's meant to be installed and configured. The book is task-oriented (for example, there's a stepped procedure on how to create a NetWare Gateway account user) and generally clear, though the volume of documentation in this package is less graphical than some other late-model products in this series. Keep it on hand for reference during installation and reconfiguration. --David Wall

Topics covered: Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 recommended practices, standard procedures, troubleshooting, and reference material. A CD-ROM contains lots of diagnostic and configuration utilities for Small Business Server 2000 and for Windows 2000 generally.
