New to small business server and I don't know where to
start. We currently are using NT 4.0 and are changing to
SBS. Could anyone please let me know of some resources
on how to setup Client Workstations and any tips and
tricks that might be helpful... I am the only IT person
and need all the help I can get. Any bit of help would be
appreciated.

You have gone with the wizards on the SBS, right?
What OS on the clients? How many nics in the server? How are you connecting
to the internet?

Thank you for posting your question to the Newsgroup.

How you set up your clients in an SBS environment, depends on what type of
clients you have. For instance if you have Windows XP clients, you'll want
to use the following KB article:

316418 How to Set Up a Windows XP Professional Client in an SBS 2000 Network
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=316418

For Windows 9x, Windows NT and Windows 2000 clients, you'll want to use the
SBS Console's "to do list".
Click the "add user" link from the "to do list" and a wizard will lead you
through the process of creating a user and corresponding computer account.
During the Computer setup portion, you will be prompted to enter a blank
disk. This disk will later be used to join the computer to the domain.
Once the disk is created, simply go to the computer you want to setup and
run the setup.exe file on the disk.

If you simply want to create a computer account without creating a user,
click the "computers" icon in the SBS console, then click the "set up
client computer" button on the right.
