I have a customer who has a Dell 2003 Small Business Server and they dont
need Exchange or Sharepoing or WSUS, The system right now is using around
2GB and only has 1GB of Ram Can i just go in the services and disable all
the MS Exchange, SQL, and WSUS, services? Will this cause any issues?

It'll break Exchange, Sharepoint, and WSUS... along with monitoring and
reporting and windows update for the server and all the clients.

Can't an extra GB or two of RAM be added and keep the SBS server working the
way it should. Sounds like the customer isn't getting the value in return
for his investment.

1GB RAM is completely out of line. A SBS 2003 Standard (without SQL)
server should have 3GB as a base memory.

You should upgrade to 4GB RAM, it's cheap, and since it's a Dell you can
get it cheap from many sources.

The good thing about buying RAM instead of disabling and breaking SBS is
that it's going to be a LOT cheap to add RAM than it is to break the
server.

DO NOT DISABLE THEM, BUY MORE MEMORY.

If you aren't going to use something,...then properly remove it with the
Installations Wizards.

Adding more RAM as the others said would be great,...disabling the services
would be bad,....either use them or remove them,...it's that simple. The
SBS Installations Wizards must be used for any product components that are
"part of" SBS. Anything else added separately must be uninstalled
separately.
