The Windows® Small Business Server 2008 server software easily integrates with and manages the Office Live Small Business Web sites through the Windows SBS Console, Remote Web Workplace, and the Desktop Links gadget. The Set up your Office Live Small Business Web sites Wizard in Windows SBS 2008 enables this integration, and the wizard helps you set up the Office Live Web Business Web sites as follows:

  • Helps you create a new Office Live Small Business account, or allows you to sign up with an existing Office Live Small Business account.

  • Configures your server with links to the Office Live Web sites in the Windows SBS Console, Remote Web Workplace, and the Desktop Links gadget. These links enable you to browse to your Office Live site to view and manage these Web sites from your Windows SBS network.

  • Updates DNS settings with your domain name provider, if your domain name is managed by a participating domain name partner and if you choose to redirect your domain name to the Web site that is hosted by Office Live.
