NT 4 Server with the following restrictions:
(1) A maximum of 50 CALs
(2) No support for BDCs
Plus a whole load of other stuff, including:
(1) SQL Server (limited I think to a few Gbytes and a few users)
(2) Proxy Server
(3) other crap that escapes me right now.
It's very convenient for its target market (i.e. small businesses), but its lack of ability to create a BDC is an annoyance.
I'm not aware of it lacking any administrative capabilities, however, and all the things that the console does are doable manually (except perhaps make the special and redundant floppy disks for setting machines' IP addresses).

The SBS console changes configurations that do not show up in other places. If I use the SBS console to change some proxy related stuff, i expect the changes to be seen via IIS(MMC). Its like there are two settings.
The SBS console is supposed to make life easy. So far I find that its more of a hinderence then anything else.
Using IIS with the MMC is far easier. Plus the knowledge database at microsoft is pretty damn good that for a non-mcse-certified person like me can get around NT pretty well. Takes a lot of reading but its not difficult at all.
I have Windows NT BackOffice CD here in front of me. I can't find the box for it. And yes its original. We had an office in the US that used this, but we closed that office down and moved everything down here. The server was taken apart. So i'm allowed to install this version legally, but i have no idea what this CD will install.
ah crap! i need to get out of the IT dept.

SBS Rules. It's a whole buncha shit for a grand. It's designed for teeny organisations. If you need multiple web servers, or large scale availability, you're probably outside SBS's target market.
The man knows what he's talking about.
