To my knowledge, SBS prior to 2011 is nothing special (only this month have I even seen an SBS 2011 setup screen and have yet to see the OS completely installed yet, working on two swing migrations at the moment) I've treated then the same as regular server OS's.
Also, you could always check with them, but I wouldn't guarantee they'd know the difference.

I doesn't list SBS as a supported OS though, which is a concern.

Thanks for all of the replies. I'm looking over the recommended apps and installing the demos. So far ManageEngine (http://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/) looks like the winner. The functionality is awesome, web-based UI is beautiful and easy to read/navigate, feature-set - looks like it does so much I will have to read the docs to discover all the features. It does look like it's still free for 25 or fewer PCs, which is just amazing. This will work for most of my clients, I will get quotes for the larger ones. If you're not familiar with this product, I would highly recommend installing the free demo and trying it out. I am VERY impressed.

For the small Windows installations you might take a look at Desktop Central by ManageEngine, I believe they still offer a free version for up to 25 workstations. Dennis From: ntsysadmin [mailto:ntsysad...@rccs.org] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 3:59 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Patch management software... I'm looking for affordable patch management software for several of my small business clients. Workstation numbers range from 4-80 PCs running XP, Vista, Windows7 and a few Macs. It's okay if I can't find anything to work with the Macs. I like the Secunia product but I didn't see an offering for users with very small number of workstations. What are people using? Are there any free options out there that are worthwhile?
