I was alerted to a website recently which features a support matrix for all HP Servers. This matrix cross references the various HP servers against operating systems that are certified for use on the servers. The matrix is here –www.hp.com/go/wincert

Someone asked a question about a specific detail in a Microsoft product,and about whether something was permitted in the End User License. Unless one had the paper copy of the EULA,you might not be able to find it. However,Microsoft have a EULA Tool to help you find them easily. Just go to this page –http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx The Microsoft Online Portal is a wealth of information,but now easy to navigate. Here is a direct link to the help page where you can find information on how to set up Outlook,setting up your iPhone for Office 365 and many other articles. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637580.aspx The Getting Started page is a very good place to start! There are a number of programs available to turn your iPad into an external monitor in Windows. The most recent of these was released by Displaylink (http://www.displaylink.com/support/downloads_ipad.php). The big difference with this application is that it supports the Windows 7 Aero interface. And it’s FREE. Initial testing so far indicates that it is also the fastest driver around so far. One issue I have run into is that it occasioanlly runs into a connect-disconnect loop,rendering the screens unsuable,until the app on the iPad is stopped and restarted. Windows Multipoint Server is a new server operating system from Microsoft produced along the same server platform as Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.

It also includes links to the Best Practices Analyzers and to the Forums and to the Windows SBS Blog. The SBS Best Practices Analyzer (BPA) is a tool that collects information about your server and analyzes this information to produce a report on how you can configure the server to perform better. It is not a comprehensive 100% check of the entire system. It checkes your server against a specific set of configuration rules and reports when these rules are not properly followed.
