SBS 2000 had a form of monitoring it it, but it wasn't that useful. SBS 2003 took Monitoring to the next level to really try to help remote administrators, or local administrators for that matter, monitor the server's health without having to look around all over the place to find it.
A little history here that may or may not be interesting to you. The monitoring feature came about way back when the Small Business Server product group started using our own server. One of our test leads was in charge of managing the server. This being our first attempt at Dogfooding Small Business Server, he was interested to make sure the server was running every day.
Do you read Susan's Blog ... No! Well if you have SBS you damm well should!

It’s been nearly a year since Microsoft launched a Small Business Server - a strategic move into a market that everyone wants a piece of.
For those who missed the announcement, SBS 2003 is a normal Microsoft server with a load of extra stuff bundled in – Exchange and SharePoint Services, and for anyone who still uses such things, Shared Fax.
.... “It sold more in its first four months than SBS 2000 sold in a year, and this year it has 262 per cent more SBS 2000 sold in 2002

The SBS Exchange SP1 QFE is now online and available at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0fe89c95-e767-428c-8621-6a586c655ee3&DisplayLang=en (and is now available in all 18 languages - sorry for the delay in that).
The other big update that is in the pipeline is our XP SP2 compatibility fix. This is in testing right now - we're investigating making this update available through Windows Update so all SBS 2003 customers become aware of it. Our plan is to make it available same day (or earlier) than XP SP2 becomes available. The main thing this will do is modify the group policy on the server to allow the ICF firewall on XP and 2000 clients, and to pre-set certain exceptions on clients through group policy.
