Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials End-to-End Demonstration     

Objectives: This hands-on lab provides an end-to-end demonstration of Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2011 Essentials which includes the following areas:

  • Adding a user account
  • Connecting the user’s PC to the SBS environment
  • Managing the user’s PC to ensure its health and security
  • Protecting the server and PC’s data
  • Adding server storage capacity
  • Using Remote Web Access

Scenario: Coho Vineyard is a growing small business with four employees. They run Windows 7 on their client computers and have deployed a Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2011 Essentials server to assist with centralization of data, client and server backup, password management, remote access, and to start taking advantage of LOB solutions that the cloud now offer. Coho Vineyard has recently hired a new employee, Lisa Miller. Lisa comes to the organization with her own laptop, and while she is happy to join her laptop to the network, she does not want to lose any data or personal settings. The administrator for Coho Vineyard’s network, Aaron Lee, needs to ensure the company’s data is protected and that there is adequate storage space available. To do this, he wants to ensure Lisa’s PC is being backed up to the SBS server and also to make sure the server’s backup configuration is set up. Aaron also needs to add new storage capacity to the server and move some of the data to the new hard drive. Finally, Lisa Miller needs to be able to work remotely, so we’ll walk him through the process of using Remote Web Access, which will allow him to access shared folders on the server and connect to computers in the SBS environment.
