The initial set up went very well and apart from a minor glitch caused by me inadvertently adding the same physical DVD mapping to both machines (soon spotted and resolved) I managed to get them up and running fairly quickly.
I used the second server physical licence to instal a basic server running HyperV role only and then created two virtual Machines for the SBS box and the Second server which is primarily to be used as a Terminal Server for remote users.
Once up and running there were the usual tasks of setting up users and mailboxes and configuring the Firewall to allow traffic through.
I had a lot of trouble getting the TS server to appear on the Remote web Workplace until I realised that there was a new feature in SBS 2008 that means you need to allocate users to the machine from the SBS Control panel (you used to be able to just add them to the RWW Users group but this did not work).
Then there were a number of issues with the RDP ActiveX client which needed an IE Reset and re-registration of mstscax.dll - who knew?
I thought there would be a number of issues like this - there always are with new versions of Microsoft Products - but so far it's not been to bad and progress has been relatively quick.
It looks like the solution I proposed way back before the release of the software is finally coming to fruition and I'm pleased to say - it's going to work.
