Our Personal Promise to You!

We will not waste your time and money making recommendations, to just pad our pockets, and make us rich. 
We believe in getting things right the first time, not band aiding things together for temporary useless solutions.

We believe in making your life simpler, not more complex
We believe in industry standards and the K.I.S.S. method of Server and PC set up, Why?
If you have another technician work on your systems, we don't want them to spend hours trying to figure out what we've done.

WeI also know that buying the most expensive doesn't mean it's the "BEST" 
There are many Free or low cost software/hardware solutions that do the same if not provide a better solution to the same problem.

Do you require a deposit to work on my Servers/PC's?
Absolutely NOT, we've heard some Technicians require this, and we think it's dishonest,
After all you are TRUSTING us, to even have access to your systems.
Requiring you to give us a check before we start is just plain stupid,
(Please stay away from this type of IT Support companies.)
The reason they ask for up front money is probably because of the shoddy work they do, and they are afraid they won't get paid.
(Note: up front money may be required on major purchase of equipment is required.)


Do you Charge for Travel Miles?
If total commute time is over 20mins one way, and less than 2hr on site, there is an additional $30 dollar  surcharge.
(Distance is Calculated from Beaverton OR 97007 USA, this does not include travel with planes.)

Do You Do Remote Support?
Yes, 80% of our clients are remote, from all over the world.
You can have us access via RDC on Port 3389 or  through Remote Web Workplace with port 443 and 4125,
or if you have "Java" installed on your PC we can connect to you through our support portal

Here is a list of just some of our clients locations: Oregon,
Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota,  Florida, Maryland, Washington DC, West Virginia, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, Canada, Australia, Ireland, England, Sweden, India, and Philippines.

Do you support only Small Business Server 2003?

* If you are completing a technical upgrade of Windows 2000 Server Standard Edition, Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, or you are migrating from Windows NT 4.0 Server, you must purchase either Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard Edition or Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition. The Version Upgrade option requires that you are running Windows Small Business Server 4.0, 4.5, 2000, or 2003. For more information on the supported technical upgrades, see Upgrading to Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2.

What Are the Differences Between the Types of Licenses?
Open New License Requirements:

Purchase through a volume license reseller.
Minimum initial order of five licenses. (One Windows Small Business Server 2003 license meets this qualification because five CALs are included.)

Retail/FPP License Requirements:

Purchase through a brick and mortar or online retailer.
No minimum purchase is required.

Benefits of an Open New License:

Savings over an FPP license.
You can track your licenses using the eOpen Web site vs. having to manage them as paper licenses.

Benefits of Software Assurance Include:

The Microsoft Software Assurance program gives you automatic access to additional support, tools, updates, and training to help you deploy and use software efficiently. With Software Assurance, you can acquire the latest software automatically, spread payments annually, and benefit from resources such as training, TechNet Plus access, and more. To learn more about the benefits, please see the Software Assurance for Volume Licensing page.

Microsoft Licensing is so confusing isn't there a website that has some simple answers?

Trend Micro House Worry Free Business Security for Virus control and Spam.

http://www.sbits.biz/TrendWorryFreeSMBCustomerPresentation.ppt

What kind of hardware do I need?
This really Depends on How many Users you are going to have on the server.
Also if you are any LOB or SQL, ISA or other Services.
we recommend a Single or Dual Proc 64Bit Microprocessor. (Like Intel's Xeon or AMD's Opteron.)
and 4GB RAM Recommended.
Min RAID1 For OS and RAID5 for more performance, so from 2-6 Drives
All this depends on what your business Needs are!
For More Detailed Information please contact SBITS.Biz.

How long does it take to install SBS2003 Server?
It takes about 1-2 FULL Long Days to Set up and configure a SBS Server,
(This is more or less, depending on migration of database and users.)
Then about 1hr For Each PC (Depending on how well the PC's are Serviced)
(This example is moving from a peer to peer Environment.)
After install and PC's set up, there are always a couple of things that Pop up.
But Typically 4-5 days is average for a Small Office.
We recommend that we install the server on a weekend, (Sat-Sunday)
This impacts most businesses less, and no we don't charge more for this, it's just part of our service.

What are some of the questions I need to know before installing my SBS2003 Server?http://www.sbits.biz/Preliminary_Questions_For_Installing_SBS_2003_Server.pdf

Will you help me in a remote SBS Support?
Yes, You must be willing to let me access your server if we need to,
there are some things that would take for ever for me to explain on the phone that
we can login and check in seconds, this saves you time and money by letting us do this...

Will you help me in a remote install? (8-hour Minimum Billing)
Yes and No, Depending on your Skill Level, we will assist you and walk you through a install.
Remember; Microsoft Recommends an On-Site Qualified Tech to install a SBS2003 Server.
(We will have to talk to you first, to see if we will work on you with this.
Note: A server install can take over 8hrs of phone time, for basic set up, depending on your skill/knowledge.
(Until we have full Admin Remote Control of the server there is No Guaranteed Results on this type of service.

You must know Basic TCP/IP, DNS Configure Firewall  Server Concepts, etc.
Because Until we get Remote Connection to the server, we can't physically help you.)

How far will you travel to install my SBS2003 server?
We've had clients fly us to Washington DC to install a SBS2003 server.
If you have a further distance, please feel free to contact us.
(We love Installing SBS So much we'd probably go anywhere)
We've even been asked to go to China for a install, however our busy schedule did not allow it.
If you do this, I'd request you plan a Technician to be there 4-5 days minimum.
(And if it's out of the States please give us a month notice.)
we don't require First Class, basic Hotel with High-speed, and Rental Car, and food allowence.
(Unless walking distance from place of work. Minimum cost for this, is $4,000 plus Expenses)

Do We know everything?
No we don't, and we will admit it if we don't, we don't believe in the "Fake it Till you Make it"
If we don't know something we'll let you know. The nice thing is, we can rely on, is years of experience,
However Any Tech  or company who says they know everything is lying. Be aware of this Fact.
