Did you know... about the SBS "classic" console?

Did you know?  I'm going to start a series of blog posts about parts of SBS 2008 you may not use or may not be aware of... one of them is the 'other' console.  SBS 2008 has a GUI console, but then there's the other one... the one that has the native tools that you may use for certain tasks.

 

Called the Windows SBS Native Tools Management console it has the active directory users and computers, and ....

In particular it has the Computer Management/System Tools/Shared Folders/Open Files that I have to open up every now and then and deal with line of business app issues.

 

I typically make a short cut for this on the desktop

I also like to create a new toolbar next to the System Tray that points to the Administrative Tools folder. This provides really quick access to all the tools that I might need for maintenance purposes. It includes everything from this Advanced Management console except Certificates, but has a whole lot more shortcuts to other tools too.
