Yes, one of the best-kept secrets among IT professionals is that SBS2003 is so easy to set up: even a numpty like me can do it. My advice is to do a full setup, but then when everybody is singing your praises and saying how clever you are, DON'T deny it.

Okay - a two-two tie. Here's the casting vote..
I am by no means a domain/server whizz but I have set up SBS 2003 for 5 of my clients and they all think I'm a genius! They each use SBS features in different ways but all are very happy.
SBS is very easy to set up as long as you do a bit of homework and lurk on this board when you have questions. The results will far outweigh any fears you had about setting up a domain.

Personally I have been very very happy with moving from small my peer workgroup network to an SBS domain network. I did allot of reading before doing it but I have not regretted the move. Like Dirk-Thomas mentioned the wizards "do the walking" for you. But I understand that I am not everyone.

I don't understand the issue, the wizards will walk you through the rest. It will actually be better and easier to support/maintain etc... when setup this way. You will get monitoring, security, easy setup of clients to the network... etc.. you must have read some of the benefits before you purchased it (except, as is evident by this thread, for the limitations)... And yes it must be so by design (documented)... If you wanted workgroup then perhaps plain Windows 2003 Server would have been a better choice.
Anyway, it probably will/would have taken less time to complete the install properly than deal with the shutdowns and researching a way around the limitations. Truly just finish the installation... you will be much happier with the results than if you could get it to run in workgroup only mode.

You need to fully complete the SBS install and make it a domain controller
to stop this. This is by design.

Hi I just finished a simple workgroup install of SBS 2003. Now the server
is
shutting down about every 3-4 hours. It is a graceful shutdown,
applications
closed, network connection released ect. It is very disruptive. It is
also
happening on the clone server used to backup data and test the
configuration
of the production server. Any insights.
