Product Details

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customersÆ Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain BackOffice SBS version 4.5 as Compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as Compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.

Operational Range for Data: 1950 to 2030

There are two aspects of Year 2000 compliance for BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5: compliance of the individual BackOffice Family components in the suite (such as Windows NT Server and SQL Server), and compliance of suite-specific features such as integrated setup and the administrative console.

The suite-specific features of BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5 do not use dates, and are thus Year 2000 Compliant.

The Year 2000 status of the BackOffice Small Business Server 4.5 components is described below. Please see individual Product Guides for each component for additional information:
