BR,Steve,Henry;

I was under the impression(and I am probably wrong) that aside from
licensing issues, Using the SBS Installation to create a "member" server
would not work properly. i.e. there is some type of MS tagging in the OS
that indicates that it must be the SBS DC without domain "trusts" and other
SBS restrictions.

I know BR's question centers around licensing, however, even if he/she can
determine and obbtain proper licensing, I am not certain the system will
function fully and properly.

Certainly the SBS components(Exchange,IIS,ISA et.al) are NOT permitted to be
loaded separately.

just my $0.02
