Windows Small Business Server 2003? supported?

Anyone know if the “Windows Small Business Server 2003” (“Premium Edition”) is a supported platform for the Notes/Domino 6.5 Server?

I’m just not sure if it means MS has added or taken away functionality from Windows 2003 Server (which I also can’t tell if Win2003 is supported!).

I looked in release notes and platform requirements, but I couldn’t even find reference to Windows Server 2003 (I think I was looking at only old stuff?)

THANKS!

Win2003 is a supported platform. AFAIK, Win2K3 “Small Business Server” takes nothing away from the “standard” edition, adds a whole bunch of their “does something” servers (SharePoint, Exchange, SQL Server, etc.), all with a number-of-licenses restriction for the price point. The stuff that you don’t get is clustering and other larger-scale features, so even if you wanted to sneak other clients in, you’ll hit a hard limit.

Hmm, so it sounds like it should be ok for a server with fewer than 50 people (don’t need clustering yet!), YES?

I’ll avoid installing all that extraneous MS stuff (Share Point, Exchange, SQL, etc.,).

Thanks!
