The process can require several hours of your time, and you'll have to read numerous help files, which are indeed informative, but you'll be glad to reach the end of it. ![]() We're reviewing the hardware here-and not the operating system-but be warned that Microsoft assumes networking know-how that many first-time server owners might not have. We've standardized here on Windows 2003 Small Business Server (SBS), and we're assuming you've ordered your machine with the OS preinstalled thus, you'll start by powering on the ProLiant and working your way through the SBS configuration wizards. That's because you'll have to begin your life with your server configuring whatever OS you've chosen to install. ![]() Though HP could have made setup easier, this new machine offers a price point, a feature set, and service options that are all well worth considering. HP's idea was to make a ProLiant server available for the price of a good desktop PC, with strong expandability and the company's proven support. ![]() Hewlett-Packard is targeting the brand-new ML110 specifically at the small-business market-and if it isn't quite a bull's-eye, it's close.
