SBS 2011 tools, information, training, resources, and more for you
Lately there has been a lot of excitement over Microsoft’s Small Business Server 2011 and I have been seeing the number of questions and requests for information on it increasing over the past week or so. What I thought I would do is post here on the blog a list of resources, information, training, etc. that you can use for SBS 2011, so that you know where to find these and hopefully, so you can share these out with your peers so that they can utilize them as well.
