Yes, I will retire the SBS, and I'm also setting up a new Exchange 2007
server.

Can I run Adprep and Domainprep even though the new R2 server has already
become a domain controller? Do I run it from the CD on the SBS?

Hello,
Our company uses SBS 2003. I recently setup a new Windows 2003 Server and
joined it to the domain.

I've recently come across an article explaining how to retire the SBS
(making the new server a GC, etc.

I've already made the new server a domain controller. Will I run into any
problems because I've skipped some steps like adprep and domain prep?

Any suggestions?
