SBS Aurora beta now available.

August 17, 2010 by Wayne Small 4 Comments

The public can now get access to the first public preview of one of the next versions of SBS known as SBS Aurora.  You can get the preview from the Microsoft conenct site here

This beta is very important for the SMB space as it contains a number of new technologies not used before such as the enhanced Drive Extender technology that provides easy methods to extend disk space using disks that are not the same capacity.  You’ll want to be testing out things like this with your common line of business applications to make sure that there’s no issues.  I know that Microsoft have already done a huge amount of testing in that arena, but there is no substitute for public testing. 🙂

The SBS team have blogged about it here with more info too.

Get your hands on it today!

    Hell of a large download – rather wait for the full SBS 7 to appear on the Connect Site as this is the true upgrade to SBS2008 – Aurora looks like Windows Home Server extended to 25 users with no Exchange…

      yes – thats about the size of it Stephen. It’s designed for a smaller market space that Microsoft see as important to their channel.
