Re: Using 2000 SBS on a 2003 Standard Domain

I was under the impression that a BDC could not be added to a Small
Business Server Domain. Is this only true with SBS 2003?

You can't move the AD off of SBS. Period. But you _could_ add Server 2k3 as
a secondary domain controller, and have it do Print and File, and VPNs. You
should keep DHCP with your SBS box, and DNS should be AD integrated and thus
present on both boxes. You could certainly set the DHCP to have your new
server as the primary DNS for clients, though I wouldn't normally recommend
it. But if for some reason the new, secondary, domain controller had to be
removed, it's easy enough to deal with.

VPNs - you can put this wherever you want. So if you move it off to the new
box, that's fine. But you won't have the CEICW to configure stuff for you
there, I'm afraid. :(

I have a situation where we have outgrown a Windows 2000 SBS Server. We
have about 50 clients, 9 VPN connections, print & file sharing and spam
filtering on top of all of the other SBS functions & we are running out
of drive space fast. We have added new drives already and at this
point it is not an option to add more drives. What I would like to do
is add a new Windows 2003 Standard Edition Server as the PDC to do AD,
DHCP, DNS, VPNs Print and File sharing and then keep the 2000 SBS
server to just handle exchange and spam filtering and disable all other
features. I do understand that the 2000 server cannot run as a BDC and
will not share the AD. What sort of problems am I going to run into by
doing this?
