Endpoint Security Manager configuration?

[Guest]

[Ajalon]

This is my first post, so I hope this is posted in the correct forum.
I am the admin for a (very) small business network which consists of:

• Windows Small Business Server 2003 Premium (32 bit)
• Windows Home Server 2011 (64 bit, used for backup, access to files from the internet and some web site hosting)
• Four Windows XP Laptops
  

Comodo Endpoint Security Manager seems to answer my needs for administration of anti-virus components, but what would be the best configuration?
Would it be best to run CESM on the SBS or the WHS?
How does CESM cater for protection of the additional server.
