SBS 2011 Releases to Manufacturing

Today Microsoft finalised and released the code for SBS 2011 Standard and the SBS 2011 Premium Addon.  They announced it here.

So over the next few weeks the actual code will be made available to the rest of us via the various channels.  I’ll expect to see it on MSDN/TechNet early in the new year and available via the channel probably around the same time.  This will be your chance as a reseller to grab the final code and install it in your own environments.  You will want to become familiar with this before you head on out and deploy it for clients for real.  There are a number of changes around things like Exchange 2010 that are worthy of note.

I’ll be posting more on this over the coming weeks once I get my hands on the final RTM code.  For now – congratulations to Microsoft for getting this out the door.
