Initially, Microsoft marketed the Small Business Server (SBS) an edition of Microsoft BackOffice Server. Those holding an "Essentials" license receive an activation key for Windows Server 2022 instead. Microsoft has since discontinued this suite in favor of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Azure. Windows Server Essentials 2019 was the last release of this product. Application server technologies are tightly integrated to provide and offer management benefits such as integrated setup, enhanced monitoring, Remote Web Workplace, a unified management console, and remote access. It includes Windows Server, Exchange Server, Windows SharePoint Services, and Microsoft Outlook. Windows Server Essentials (formerly Small Business Server or SBS) is an integrated server suite from Microsoft for businesses with no more than 25 users or 50 devices.
