A Real-World Perspective
Small Business Server 2008 Setup
Supports answer file on a USB drive to automate setup/migration
Supports adding drivers during setup via a USB thumb drive
60 GB boot partition is recommended as everything is installed here
I recommend creating a separate partition, drive or array for all data
Run the SBS Console, Shared Folders, and update to data partition
Go to Backup and Storage tab, then Server Storage sub-tab and move Exchange Data, SharePoint Services Data, Users’ Redirected Documents, and Windows Update Repository Data to data partition
Note: The WSUS database will remain in C:\WSUS
Go to the Home tab and Getting Started Tasks
If doing a migration, you will have Migration Tasks here
