If you are familiar with installing SBS and general networking, likely you know already how to add a second server to an SBS Standard network, but what about essentials? That’s my little marketing pledge done, now on to the technical stuff.
The SBS PAO (Premium Add on) Is a great way to get that second server and SQL license, but it may not be the most cost effective route to get what you want, so make sure you do your research before purchasing. Personally i prefer to keep the SBS free of Apps if possible, especially accounts programs. It seems like a lot of businesses are bringing a second server online lately, perhaps discovering the benefits a Terminal Server (or Remote Desktop Services Server or even Multipoint) can bring, or maybe it is a Server that will run SQL for an LOB application.
