Hi All,

I have read a number of posts indicating that it is "impossible" to join SBS
to the existing Win2K/Win2003 domain;

I have tried "dcpromo" --> demote ---> join as the member server --> promote
to DC; It did fail with many many errors!!

Now, what are my options?

I have a fairly small (2 sites with ~50 users) environment: Windows 2000
Server running as the Terminal Service, File/Print server and AntiVirus
server

I want to add SBS and use it as FILE/MAIL server; Re-configuring existing
two servers and domain would be just a HUGE pain and i am really looking
for alternatives;

MANY THANKS,

Sava
