Becky Ochs, Program manager for setup and OEM of Small Business Server 2008 (codename Cougar), tells us what changes have been made in the product since SBS 2003. She demos the setup wizard of an OEM server using the unattend file, shows the new feature set on the SBS console, and explains the majority of the GUI options on the new SBS Answer File tool (SBSAfg). Also, she explains things you might ask yourself like: why you can't rename the domain name for an SBS server and why you can't use a routable public IP.

If you decide to tune in to "Over the Edge" at 23:49, you can hear from Becky about what it's like being a woman in IT, her opinion on why more women are not in IT, the IGNITE program, and a general tip for women who want to get started in IT.

When I click on the video to play it nothing happens. I noticed this happens with all the videos.

Thanks for this video, I used the new setup file creator earlier to configure an RC0 SBS server and it all worked flawlessly, these videos help a lot.

Jittered video!!! Invalidated my intention to watch it. Does silverlight client have some way to have a bigger "buffer"? Or may I need to look for some tool like the ones for youtube/flv capture/save? Would be a real annoyance (then, why be flash or silverlight instead of a link to play or save a simple, direct wmv/avi file??)

If you are having buffering issues, the best option is to download the high quality WMV file. This is a better quality than the video in the default Silverlight player stream.
