I am about to setup sms2003 and I was wondering if it was better to
set the machine up as a domain controller or to set it up as a member
server. I am using a windows 2003 server machine to set it up with a
windows 2000 AD. Also is there any fires from your experience that I
should look out for when installing.

Thanks,
Fred
