A Microsoft Partner's group oriented around companies and/or clients which seek to exploit the power of the Small Business Server 2003 and products which enhance it. We are developing expertise in each of the individual components of the OS and discovering and utilizing other software to create a more rich and full experience on the platform.

The group has been a member of the Culminis Alliance Program since June 2004. Through this program, we enjoy the support of industry supported speakers, software give-aways, and presentations.

We are also a part of the Culminis Exchange Support Network, a special group in support of IT professionals who are tasked with supporting Microsoft Exchange. As you may or may not know, Exchange 2003 is one of the components of Small Business Server 2003 which is present in both the Standard and the Premium versions of Small Business Server.

Our meetings are held January through October on the fourth Thursday of the month and the first Thursday of December (due to the holidays). The business meeting starts at 5:00pm and ends at 6:30pm. The technical meeting starts at 6:30 and ends at 8:45pm. Security will kindly invite us to leave then, but feel free to continue your conversation with other members at any of the nearby establishments.

We meet at the Microsoft offices in Las Colinas (really Irving) in building LC1 (the southern most building) usually in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR). To get in, you'll need to have a photo ID and your vehicle information if you are parking your vehicle in Microsoft's lot.

We typically order pizza and have it delivered. We don't have dues, and there are no membership fees, so we ask those who are interested to pitch in $5 to cover the cost of the pizza.

Past presentations have included: CRM Installation on SBS; SBS Service Pack 1; ISA Server 2004; Exchange IMF; Backup and Recovery; Small Business Accounting (and SBS); Mobile devices with Exchange 2003; and MANY MORE.
