SUMMARY
This article is intended to help determine which version of the installation compact discs for Small Business Server (SBS) you currently have. The CD-ROM media looks identical, and the only way to tell is to follow the directions outlined below in the More Information section. There are two versions:


 * Small Business Server 4.0 Installation compact discs (Alpha and Intel)
 * Small Business Server 4.0a Installation compact discs (Alpha and Intel)



MORE INFORMATION
To determine which version of the installation CDs you currently have, do the following:


 * 1) Insert Disc 1 (Intel) into the CD-ROM drive.
 * 2) Open Windows Explorer and browse to the CD-ROM drive.
 * 3) On the root of the compact disc, there is a directory labeled IE. Select this directory.
 * 4) Within the IE directory, select and double-click the directory labeled i386.
 * 5) The contents of this directory determine which version of SBS this is.
 * 6) If there is a single file labeled Msie30.exe in this directory, the version is SBS 4.0.
 * 7) If there are approximately 126 files (including several .cab files), the version is SBS 4.0a.
