Hello John,

Thank you for posting here.

From your post, I understand that you want to join your Windows server 2003
Enterprise Edition in SBS domain to work as a member server. If I am off
base, please feel free to let me know.

Of course, you can join Windows server 2003 Enterprise Edition in SBS 2000
or SBS 2003 domain. However, you can add additional DC or member server to
the SBS 2K3 domain as long as the following requirements are met:

1. Only one computer in a domain can be running Windows Small Business
Server 2003.
2. Windows Small Business Server 2003 must be the root of the Active
Directory forest.
3. Windows Small Business Server 2003 cannot trust any other domains.
4. A Windows Small Business Server 2003 domain cannot have any child
domains.
5. Each additional computer running Windows Server 2003 must have a Windows
Small Business Server 2003 client access license (CAL).
6. A Windows Small Business Server 2003 domain can have no more than 75
CALs. You can use CALs for each user or for each device.

The following is related helpful white-paper:

Hope these will give you some help. Thanks and have a nice day!
