I currently have a SBS 2003 domain and I'd like to add a Windows Standard
2003 server to the domain. The purpose is to keep the Active Directory on
another box, not to upgrade the SBS domain to a Standard domain. When I
issue the dcPromo it tells me run the forestPrep command first. Is this
correct? Are there any other steps that I'll need to take to make this
work?
