Where is my MMC Snapins for SBS 2008??

So tonight while talking to Sean he pointed out a kick ass feature of SBS 2008 I never even noticed during all the betas I was working with in the last year.

It is called the "Windows SBS Native Tools Management" tool, and is available in the "All Programs->Windows Small Business Server" menu. What makes this tool cool is that it uses the familar MMC interface we all know and love in SBS2003.... with access to all the native tools you probably work with on the server on a regular basis.

I was pleased to see the certificate store easily accessible along with IIS7 configuration. This will make our Customer Service team happy as when dealing with customers with self signed certs, it will be easier to step them through it!! And... we can easily build snapins for the console, just like we have in the past for SBS 2003.

Great job Microsoft. And thanks for the tip Sean!
