Re: Questions about Multiple SBS Domains and users



No. SBS does not support trust relationships. Period. It must be in a single domain forest, and doesn't even support cross-forest trusts.

If your reason for setting up a new company is to have a separate email address, that is easy to do without creating a new domain. But if you need to keep them in entirely separate domains, then you're either going to have to move to a full Server 2k3 environment, with two Server 2k3 (or Server 2k8) boxes, no SBS at all to have employees who have accounts with access to both domains.

Hello,

The company I work for is about to setup a second company. The second
company will be getting all new hardware and software and its on me to
tell them what we'll need.

I want to run SBS 2003 on the new server. We are already running it on
the current server, so I would be setting up an entirely new box, with
a new domain, and most likely in a new forest. Can we do some form of
trust that would allow 5 of our current employees access to
information on the new server without having to log off this domain
and log on to that one?

thanks,

Ken
