Re: SBS 2003 secondary dc/server

I agree completely, SG.

Just pointing out that once the FSMO's have been seized, there really is
*no* safe and supported recovery option for the SBS server.

So, *Don't* do it !

this 'throw the baby away' attitude REALLY annoys me.

In an SBS failure scenario your top priority should be RECOVERY of the
SBS, not replacement.

Hi,

I have an SBS 2003 box. My goal is to create a situation in which if this
server fails, another one takes its place. In order to do that, I have
added
an additional dc to the domain, and made it a GC and a DNS. My question
is,
what steps would I have to take in case the primary box fails, in the
aspect
of FSMO roles?

And what about the SBS licenses?

Thanks in advance.
