SBS200x can be added to an existing domain, it just takes a bit of fiddling
and MS officially prefer you to migrate the existing domain.

I know why MS prefer a clean or migrated domain. If you do attempt to retain
the existing domain there are obscure areas of AD which will probably
reference out of date info.

If Exchange is involved in the domain you are replacing a search of MS for
'remove last exchange server' will help.Transferring the Domain or AD info
while data in it references Exchange on the Exch server SBS is replacing has
caused us headaches, there's KB articles which help..
