Are you an SBS 2011 EXPERT?
Do you have time in your schedule?
Would you like to make some extra money?
Can you work productively on your own?
Are you looking for a real challenge?
If this is YOU then we may have a job for you!
Background
---------------
We have been using SBS2003 for a decade and the equipment is
showing its age. We were sold a new Dell server and told that SBS 2011
was the way to go. We have converted over and de-commissioned our old
server and it has been a disaster.
We do not need or want any of the bells and whistles associated
with SBS. We were not aware of the '5 roles' that we would be forced
into. Setting up these roles would be an even bigger disaster for our
company.
What we want is clean and simple. We want our server to run from
within a workgroup framework with less then 30 users. Here is a short
list of our needs.
1) File sharing for our MS Access system and other programs.
2) Running SQL our accounting software.
3) Running numerous over night processes.
4) Backups
We DO NOT need or want the server to do e-mail, serve our Web
domain, or any of the other junk we are being forced into.
Where we are now.
-----------------------
We found a Microsoft white paper on how to switch to a workgroup
environment. It worked and when the server is running we can get most
of what we want.
Unfortunately Microsoft has installed MALICIOUS code in the system
that if you don't set up the server in a certain way (ie. the '5
roles') it will SHUTDOWN every 7 days. It also limits the ability to
automatically run our processes using the Task scheduler.
Our Dilemma
-----------------
1) We cannot go back to 2003.
2) We will not set up the server the way Microsoft wants. We will not
put Microsoft in charge of our business.
3) The system shuts down every 7 days +- 30 minutes.
4) The Task scheduler will only run 2 of our 15 processes even though
they run manually.
What we want from you.
------------------------------
We are willing to pay anyone who can STOP the shutdowns while
keeping us running as a Workgroup server.
Please don't waste your time if your solution is to set up the
server with the 5 roles. We fully understand WHY this is happening. We
just want it to stop.
What we what to pay you for is a way to stop the shutdowns and keep
our current configuration.
We are not opposed to certain modifications and we will entertain
any solutions short of a complete capitulation of our business to
Microsoft. We are not entertaining the installation of a different
operating system.
We simply want someone to do the research to remove the MALICIOUS
shutdown code.
If you are interested please post a reply with contact information
and I will e-mail you directly.
Thank you.
