You can have more than one server (and/or ADDC) if it makes you feel
comfortable ;-). But it might not make your small biz customers any more
comfortable.
The focus for SBS is good installation on good hardware (think redundancy),
and a proven disaster recovery plan (think backup, image, restore). Your
chances of needing the second server for comfort reasons will subside ;-).
SBS is solid. It takes a server administrator to break it.

KJ,
I think that you are stalking me..... ;-)
I played over the weekend with SBS2003 and definitely did things the
SBS2003 way when joining the computer account objects to the domain and
when creating user account objects. Since I did it the SBS2003 way I have
not noticed what happens when compared with the "Windows Server 200x" way.
I would hate to go to this new client and tell them that the previous
consultant really f'ed up things (but, they knew that already....) and
that I have to spend time (read: money) to fix things. I mean, that is
definitely the thing to do....I just hate constantly being in that
position. I will spare you all of the things that I have seen in the last
eight months....it is really unbelievable!
I am going to play at home. Recreate things so that they are done the
"Windows Server 200x" way and see what happens when I correct it using
those nice little wizards.
And, as usual, thanks for the info....
I am going to really hit SBS2003 hard. Down here in
Blacksburg/Christiansburg/Pembroke/Radford/Roanoke there are a ton of
small businesses and SBS2003 is really great. Although, I will say this:
as an Active Directory guy I do not like one server. I guess that I am
just going to have to get over that, huh?

Hey Cary.
Probably so for users, but definitely not for the computers which should
be "joined" by the "/servername/connectcomputer"
method.
Where they (user & computers) are is important for group policy and "how
they got there" I found is most important for the computers. Consider
removing a workstation and adding it back in the right way, then compare
the differences.
...and great to see you joining in the SBS fray! (welcome)

Dave,
Thanks! That (moving the user account objects to the 'proper' location)
was going to be my next question.
So, based on your reply am I correct in thinking that it is ultimately
more important where they (user account objects and computer account
objects) end up vs. how they got there?
Thanks,

So your users are not located in the MyBusiness/Users/SBSUsers
container in
Active Directory? If not, you can move them by right-clicking the user
account from wherever they are and selecting Move from the submenu.
Then
select the correct container.
In general, as you're probably realising, you ignore the SBS 2003
wizards at
your peril. Seems like the previous consultant probably treated SBS the
same
as Windows Server 2003 - it isn't!

Good morning!
I am an SBS2003 newbie, so please pardon my ignorance. I have a lot
of
experience with SBS2000 but not any with SBS2003.
I recently took over an environment running SBS2003. This is the
first time
I have seen SBS2003. It appears that the previous consultant did not
use
any of the wizards to create user account objects or to create
computer
account objects. I say this because the user account objects are
located in
the USERS container and not in the OU in which they would normally
reside
were they created using the wizard. Same for the computer account
objects.
Is there going to be any problem with this? My guess is that there
will be
no issues at all. I guess my real question is this: will there be
anything
that is not available because the user account objects were created
the
"non-SBS2003 way"? Same for the computer account objects.
I know. This seems very rookie-like. And it is. I played with
SBS2003 at
home over the weekend a little bit and really like it. I just do not
know
the ins and outs just yet. That will change very soon.
Thanks,
