Personally, I think anybody who sells and setsup a business with SBS should be shot.  Starting with SBS4, it's been a piece of crap.  Now to add insult to injury, they put ISA server in there and force you to put your firewall on the same box your database server is on.  By license, you cannot put it on a seperate box if you wanted to.  Another sign of the total cluelessness of MS on security.
