Thoroughly confused SBS 2003 Server

I'm not exactly sure how I got into the kettle of fish that I'm in sooooo
..... I mention several of the worst symptoms.
I'm not adverse to rebuilding the system provided that I can capture the
user id's and transfer them to the new system AND capture the POP3 settings
on my Exchange Server. (The password it uses to get the email from the ISP
is absolutely archaic, and I have no particularly easy way to recover it:-(

1. The most embarassing is that when I have a second server - configured as
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition - turned on, the SBS system gives me
a series of complaints about another SBS system being present on the
network, then EULA violation warnings, and then shuts itself off!!!! The
source of these errors is SBCore and the ultimate ID # is 1001. (There are a
series of timed warnings before it shuts down.)

2. When I try to add a computer or a server, it goes through the motions and
then says that I need to be an SBS admin or Power user to do it. Two errors
from SAM are generated ID's 16650 and 16651.

3. This is the scariest one - Application / Userenv / id 1054 "Windows
cannot obtain the domain controller name for your computer network ..."

There are bunches of others too, but these strike me as the ones that might
lead me out of the mess I'm in.

Suggestions please.

Thanks.

Al
Who at this point would really like to save what he needs off this SBS box
and move SBS to the box that now has Enterprise server on it. Then he would
turn the current SBS box into a 64 BIT Windows XP box since that is what the
hardware is.
