Actually this is probably the better forum since this question really will deal with the SBS setup itself and not really the Exchange piece.
Chris, SBS is designed to walk you through setting up the Exchange server at the time you instlal the OS. Just follow all of the on screen wizards and you will havea successful implementation. It is imperative that you learn early on that with SBS you must use the wizards that are included with it. I personally hate wizards because they interfere with my scripting skills, but that is the way it is with SBS.
When the OS is finished you need to run through the To Do list which will automatically pop up when the server is started. In the To Do list is the Internet connection Wizard. This will configure both Internet Access as well as Email (Exchange will already be installed at this point).
I suggest you go with most of the defaults with the SBS setup, however you should pay attention to the screen that asks where you want to store the user files. I suggest moving that away from the default which is on the C partition.
I hope you find this post helpful.
Regards,
Mark
