18 CHAPTER 1 INSTALLING WINDOWS SMALL BUSINESS SERVER 2008
Clicking the Deployment Update button will display a warning or message regarding the
update, making you aware of what’s happening. For example, on the update I just selected, I
received the message shown in Figure 1.15.
This is really handy, because it lets you know that all computers that require this update
will now receive it. Next, once you click OK, it will tell you that it will take 4 to 24 hours to
deploy the update without bringing your system down. Brilliant! Go ahead and deploy your
updates now.

Security Concerns
Next, you need to address any potential security concerns. If you click Security and then go to
the Security tab, you will see a summary of your security settings, as shown in Figure 1.16.
As you can see, this security center has a problem because my Live OneCare files are
out-of-date. So, I can select that problem and then click the Open Windows Live OneCare For
Server button on the right, bringing up the screen shown in Figure 1.17.
To appease the security center, I need to update Live OneCare and then address the con-
cerns in red — the virus and spyware definitions are not current, and a full OneCare function-
ality update is needed. Doing this is especially hard — you have to click the Update OneCare
button. Tough, eh? This will open the update center for Live OneCare.
Once you get to this screen, you have to click Next and then accept the license agreement.
Then the server will begin the update process. Believe it or not, this can actually take quite a
long time — but there’s a good reason behind that. Namely, Windows Live OneCare is a very
advanced firewall system that incorporates antivirus features, spyware controls, and a myriad
of other things. Therefore, the definition files are really big. Thankfully, as you’ll see, it’s quite
painless, and you can continue doing other administration tasks as you proceed.
Backup
To access the backup information, click Backup and then Go To Backup. This will take you to
the main Backup tab, which should look something like Figure 1.18.
Just as with the other menus, you can configure it by clicking the Configure Server Backup
button on the right. This might take a little time to start up, but once it’s done loading data,
you will be greeted with a screen where you can select a device to set up your backup choices.
Since this varies from computer to computer, I won’t show it here, but once you are there, the
process is fairly self-explanatory.
