Re: adding sbs2003 to existing domain

Okay, but if the sbs goes down, how does another computer get on the
network?

Exactly WHY does SBS have to have DHCP?

When you say transfer ALL 4 roles, I assume that's covered by the kb
article, right?

SBS has to be a GC as well. Active Directory does allow multiple global
catalog servers though, so you do *not* need to disable it on the other
server. Should cover everything.

Oh, as far as other things you should do? Work on transferring DHCP to SBS.

I am adding a SBS2003 server to an existing network.

I have and will follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453

I had an SBS on this network once before (it was at one point, the
only AD)... but after another server (Server 2003 - NOT an SBS) was
added a problem occurred where users couldn't connect to the network
unless the SBS server was up. I had set the Server2003 was AD/GC

I need to make sure that users can login and access the other server,
even if for some reason the SBS becomes unavailable.

DHCP is on the router (I know, I know...)

I'll continue to run DNS on both servers.

Do I _have_ to disable the GC on the Server2003?

Is there anything else I should do?

FWIW, the reason is that the primary focus of the SBS is the 40
hour/week back office, whereas the Server2003 supports the 7day/18hour
retail side.

Thanks,

Dagwood
