By default, when Internet Explorer 5 is installed on a client computer, the automated client Setup process configures the browser with custom settings for SBS as follows:
  • Adds the following pages to your collection of favorites:

    • Microsoft Small Business Web site
      http://www.microsoft.com/smallbiz
    • My Internet Home Page

    • My Intranet Home Page
      http://sbsserver/intranet
    • SBS User Guide

  • Changes your home page to the SBS User Guide page when you first start Internet Explorer.
  • Configures your client computer to use the SBS computer as a proxy server for Internet access, configuring all protocols to use and address of http://sbsserver and port 80.
