In SBS 2003 there was a very useful option to view domain computer's
event logs from the Management window simply by right clicking on one
of the computers and choosing View Event Logs. Really missing this
functionality in 2008.

I'm also surprised that still no update was released to fix the auto-
arrangement problem where rather than in alphabetic order objects in
Users and Computers tabs are still being displayed in random order.
Very annoying. It can't be that difficult to fix it.

It would also be nice if I could choose which properties are being
displayed in the Computers Tab. Do we really need Update Status right
away. It takes far to long to display this information. It's already
in Computer Tasks and I think this is where it should stay. Unless the
Console was constantly monitoring the situation even when closed it's
just too frustrating to wait to display often meaningless info
especially that it won't tell you why exactly it thinks that
something's say Critical. So plenty of room for improvements.

If this is supposed to make things easy for admins Microsoft should
create a SBS experience feedback site where the admins could add their
observations and suggestions so the SBS team could really see what
matters.

Please bring such suggestions to the new SBS Technet Forum perhaps as a
"discussion" post. I think others would like to comment and contribute to
your observations.
