I stand corrected.
Frank, could you point me in the direction of any 'good' info regarding
this?
You've piqued my interest now...

That is incorrect. You can have as many DCs in a SBS network as you
desire
as long as SBS retains all 5 FSMO roles. Any TS servers should not be DCs
but should be member servers

An SBS domain can only have one DC and it has to be the SBS server.

Windows 2003 can be a member server, or you can always upgrade the SBS
server to Windows 2003 (can't remember the name of the exact process -
maybe
someone else can help here...)

Hi,

Can you have a server running Windows Server 2003 Standard as a domain
controller for a Windows SBS 2003 domain?

Thanks - Dion.
