Explanation
Explanation: Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2003, includes Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows Share Point Services, Exchange Server 2003, Routing and Remote Access firewall technology, and five client access licenses. And that's just the Standard Edition. In the Premium Edition, you get all that plus Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000, and Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003. Windows Small Business Server is a client/server-based network-a single, centralized server and multiple clients. The server is the central computer on which most of the network operating system runs, and the client comprises the computers that use the resources managed by the server. In both editions, the technologies are optimized to work as a package for the small business user. Option D would represent the optimum networking environment whilst keeping cost at a minimum. Incorrect answers: A: This is not appropriate for a company as it will not foster a networking environment. B: A peer-to-peer networking structure is cost effective, but it will not be stable enough for a company and neither will it be appropriate for work purposes. C: Not upgrading the client computer systems will result in non-communication between them and the rest of the network due to unstable network infrastructure. 2003: Administrator's Companion, Microsoft Press, Redmond, 2004, Chapter 2, p. 15 & Chapter 3, p.
