    - Domain Not Found error on workstations We've just upgraded from a satellite internet connection to a DSL connection. Due to the limitations of satellite I've never explored the possibilities that SBS offers. Now that I have DSL, I want to set SBS up to work for us. Somewhere in my conversion I've lost the ability of my workstations to connect to the domain. When attempting to logon the "The system cannot log you on now because the domain GRANT is not available." When the server was connected to the satellite, workstations were able to log onto the domain. Somewhere in my settings changes, I've lost that ability. Workstations are all XP Pro SP2. I am able to log into Exchange email from outside the network using webmail and from the workstations, using a locally stored profile and Outlook. I can also log into the network stores but have to enter username and password each time. I am also able to surf the web from the workstations. I can also use remote desktop from outside the network over the web. When I try to use the XP Network ID wizard I get this error: DNS was successfully queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate a domain controller for domain GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM: The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.GRANT.MCKINLEYFUNERAL.COM The following domain controllers were identified by the query: grant1.grant.mckinleyfuneral.com Common causes of this error include: - Host (A) records that map the name of the domain controller to its IP addresses are missing or contain incorrect addresses. - Domain controllers registered in DNS are not connected to the network or are not running.

    - Deny User permissions upon moving files within shared folder Hello all, Could you please advise me on how to restrict the access rights of one Domain User from moving files within a Shared Folder. The user should have sufficient rights to write in the files, but not to save them afterwards to a different! directory. The permissions granted for all Domain Users on this Shared Folder are Modify - Read & Execute - List Folder Contacts - Read - Write. Do I make any amendments to the security permissions of the user's account and if yes then which ones? Thank you in advance for your response. Regards, Harry Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168728

    - 50+ users and the future after SBS2000 After running SBS2000 from around 10 users (around 3 years ago) to it's maximum today (at 50!) we are now in the position to get of SBS and go for something that caters for more than 50 users. We are planing to purchase two boxes - 1. to have on it Server 2003 Std with around 60 CALS that will be our PDC running AD running ISA 2004 Server (with 60 CALs too) - do we need 60 CALS on Win03 Server if we plan to have around 60 people (clients) on the network? 2. to have Exchange 2003 with 60 CALs(?) - is this correct? We want to use the SBS applications - i.e Exchange and ISA as we also run GFI's MSEC and DSEC and MESS to pick up our mail from POP3. Has anyone done any work on stepping forward from SBS2000 in a 50+ user environment and advise on CALs and the setup above. The reason why we choose 2 boxes is that we want to separate the PDC/Internet (Server03 running ISA2004) machine from the Mailserver (running Exchange) in case of future problems. Are ISA2004 and Exchange2003 the latest proxy and mail software from Microsoft or are there any changes that will appear soon? I need advise please. skc Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168720

    - Group Policy software roll-out Hi, We are running SBS2000 with around 45 clients and we have a file server on the domain running Win03 Server Std as a member server. We are running ACT! and wish to roll-out a newer version. Previously, we have gone around to all machines and run the install from a shared CD-ROM drive on the network - but naturally this takes a lot of time. We wish to install the software using Group Policy. Please can someone tell me how I can do this so that I can pop the CD into the SBS and run the install from all clients.

Error 474 in Event viewer too. The Mailboxes and Public Folders backed up OK. The fix is to restore from backup. If I restore the IS from backup, will I have to restore the mailboxes over the top too, to take into account mail delivered in the past few days?

    - Help! Backup didn't run Exchange logs filled partition Client moved their office in November and for one reason or another hasn't run backup since 11/10/04. Prior to that an Exchange aware backup using Tapeware was run daily without serious incident on the Dell Poweredge SBS 2000 sever for the last year and a half. Today Exchange services stopped with the event log message that the Exchange partition ( I setup a separate partition for Exchange when I setup the server) had only 3 mb of space left. I checked the MDBDATA folder and, as I expected, it was full of E00XXXX.log files going back to 11/10/04 each of 5,120 kb size. I tried running the backup to clear the logs but as the Exchange services were stopped the backup ran fine, it just did not backup Exchange and thus, apparently, did not clear the log files. The question, I think, is how to clear up enough space on the Exchange partition to mount the store to run the backup to clear the logfiles. Is there a good way to do this? Or any good way to delete the logfiles? I understand that it just brute force deleting them can be dangerous. Can they be moved? I have space on my data partition to do this temporarily.

    - ISA server reports I produce monthly ISA server reports for analysis. I'm aware of a problem that ISA reverses dates in non US-English system locales and have applied SP2 which I believe fixes this problem. My question is in the main summary report it has all the dates listed and has server participation, all our dates up to the first 12 days are reversed (US style mm/dd) and has 'no' for participation. All the remaining dates are dd/mm format for our locale and have 'Yes' for participation. Except of course when the day and month are the same like 11/11, this is always yes. This has always confused me as I read this as this monthly report does not include the first 12 days of data. This is same before and after the ISA SP2 patch was applied (containing MS 331064) Is this correct ?, and if so why didn't the patch fix this problem. Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168711

    - backup email to a mail hosting company. Does anyone know of a way I might be able to have my smtp mail routed to 2 different mail locations? Here is my scenario. I would like mail coming to our domain to be sent to our ISP, as it currently is. This mail is retrievable by webmail. I would also like a copy of all mail sent to our exchange server. The exchange server would be what we use for normal mail operations. However, if our exchange mail server goes down, we would like to be able to revert to checking mail on our ISP's webmail server, _and_ we would like that there would be a history of all mail received even before our exchange server crashed. You might be wondering why we might want such an elaborate fall back mechanism. Our business operates with many very time sensitive deadlines. Much of these deadlines revolve around emails. It would instill peace of mind to be able to know that if our internal mail server was down for any slightly lengthy period (fire, flood, hurricane), we would still have immediate access to all mail, including mail we received in the weeks before the failure. Thanks, Joe /------- webmail / pop accounts (used only when main server is down.) email ------> \----- exchange server (everyday use) ps. I know exchange can be setup to forward emails to another account. This solution alone is not good enough since when exchange is down we will not be able to current receive external email.

    - SBS 2000 Exchange/ISP Reply Address Problem We are running a W2KSBS with Exchange using a ISP POP3 for external email. The user logs onto the domain xxx.local. When they send external email it goes out through the ISP however the reply address that is associated with this external email is joe@xxx.com which is the FQDN but joe doesn't exist. Some ISP's allow a second alias which allows us to enter this alias and therefore get around the invalid email reply address issue. This particular ISP doesn't allow two alias's so have to come up with a different resolution. Regards Bill Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168704

    - No administrator console on SBS 2000, can I fix this faulty installation ? Hi everybody, we bought new server hardware this week, and had the company who sold it to us install SBS 2000 (a licence we bought a few years ago) from the installation media we provided (actually, the SBS 2000 Upgrade DVD). The server is now running in our network as the domain controller, but it seems we didn't exactly get a full install of "Small Business Server". The imminent problem is that we cannot use our "SBS 2000 5 Client" addon disk on it, so 5 of our colleagues are left with no workstation. Looking into the problem, I found out there is no SBS Administrator Console in the start menu, and the file "itprosbsconsole.msc" does not even exist on the harddisk. By searching the web I figured out that company who did the install probably didn't install the whole thing, so the server isn't actually running as a "Small Business Server 2000", but rather as a Windows 2000 Server, for which we have no addon licences. Now to fix this problem quickly, I tried to install the consoles myself to the running system. When I pop in the DVD (the actual CD1 is not readable anymore), and run "setup.exe" from the CD1 folder, the setup starts and asks me to insert a "Backoffice 4.0 or 4.5" CD1 (of course, because the SBS 2000 is an upgrade version). So, I out in the 4.5 CD1 and now I get the error message (roughly translated): "You cannot upgrade this install of Windows with the CD you inserted." So, I cannot install the Administrator console. What I would like to know, is what possibilities am I left with here: - Do I need a full reinstall from scratch? - If so, is it possible to install the SBS 2000 Server from the DVD, or do I need to use the CDs (what is the difference) - As a full reinstall is a time problem, is there a way to get working addon licenses to this SBS 2000 "mutation" I am running now, for a quick fix? - Will I run into any other problems with this faulty install I might not be aware of? Thank you in advance! Oliver Besicz -- obesityrules@gmx.li Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168694

Have installed the new server, ran DCPROMO,moved the FSMO all except domain naming master, think I have to seize that role. My big problem is Exchange, have moved the mailboxes with system manager to the new server. Then I'm going to "Remove the first Exchange 2000 server" from the site. But that doesn't work .

    - CAL questions From MS' licensing site: "... You can either purchase a CAL for every device (used by any user) that accesses your server, or purchase a CAL for every named user that accesses your servers (from any device). Devices include not only desktop workstations in your office but also mobile phones that have Internet access, handheld PCs, and remote workstations. Whichever type of CAL you choose, a separate Windows Small Business Server 2003 CAL (of either type) is required for each user or device that accesses or uses the server software on any of your servers." Does this mean that someone who has email being copied/forwarded from their company account to a Blackberry needs a CAL for the Blackberry? I'm not sure if an automatic forward counts as another device, especially since it's going to the blackberry servers. I would compare it to auto-forwarding to a yahoo mail account, except that the blackberry does synch up with Outlook. Also, I know that servers need CALs for SBS, but what determines that? If I have a separate web server, do I need a CAL for it? As far as I can see, traffic will be going through the firewall to the web server (have yet to put it in a DMZ) and bypassing the SBS server altogher. "Device CALs might make most economic and administrative sense for an organization that has multiple users for one device, such as shift workers. User CALs might make most sense for an organization that has many roaming employees who access the corporate network from unknown devices and/or employees who access the network through multiple devices." OK this makes it seem that user CALs are what we need. However, how does SBS handle the same account connecting from multiple computers? There are a couple of people who use about six different machines for video editing, and they log on with the one account to all those machine. "The number of Windows Small Business Server 2003 CALs required equals the maximum number of users or devices that may simultaneously access or use the server software installed on a particular server. The Windows Small Business Server 2003 CALs that you purchase are designated for use exclusively with a particular server. You have the right to switch one time to the other license typeâ??from user CALs to device CALs or from device CALs to user CALs. Your Windows Small Business Server 2003 CALs (of either type) would then be used in the other mode instead." Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168671

I just need to know if I need different tools to do the job or will the tool that comes with Win2K do the trick... Thanks, Brad Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168649

    - vpn sbs to sbs Hi All We have managed to connect our 2 sbs sites via vpn but have found that we are unable to terminal services from any computers on the lan to any computers on the other lan apart from the sbs box. The only ones that can terminal services beyond the sbs boxes are the sbs's themselves. On doing a tracert we have found that the destination sbs Ip is as far as it will go. Does anyone know the answer to this, is it ISA blocking or what?. Static routes have been but in ras and the routes have been added on the local machines via route add to no avail. All help on this would be appreciated Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168648

    - SMTP Mail not working Just yesterday I noticed no one's mail getting sent out. I checked the Exchanger Vitural Server's Quene and they are all sitting there waitng. The only thing that has changed is our ISP changed our static internet IP address and last week I installed Symantec Mail Security for Exchange Server. The Symantec stuff has been working fine for a week and not sure if the IP address would cause this to happen. Any ideas? Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168646

    - delayed email... Recenlty one of my uses came ot me and mentioned that one of the people she has attempted to reply back to (using "reply") was not getting her email - and that she had not received an NDR as of yet. I checked the Exchange System Management - queue and indeed there was the email waiting to be delivered... The email sat in there for a few days, retrying, waiting to be delivered and then finally after a few days our employee did get an NDR back. She asked me why this was happening (why she hadn;t received an NDR right away) and I mentioned that there could be any number of reasons and rhymed off a couple that I thought may cause it... SHe had received a couple of delayed notices and then finally the NDR came in... What reasons could there be that a seemingly valid email address could not be devlivered? I had mentioned to our employee that it was possible that the receipients server was not allowing incoming emails (the recipient works for the government) and yet this person had asked our employee to respond back to her initial email - so I would think that this person would have been able to receive email in the past... What other reasons could there be? I am just concerned that it may have been an issue at our end but doubt that as once it leaves here, it's out of our control really, and all other external email has been working just fine...

    - Invest $6.00 and make Thousands. Incredible? Check it out. !!!Make A LOT of legal money really fast using PayPal!!!! From: Roger Date: 12/4/2004 Comments: TURN $6 INTO $6000 USING PAYPAL (www.paypal.com)!!! READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT REALLY DOES WORK!. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, Yeah right, this must be a scam, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses (now e-mail addresses) stated in the article. You then place your own name and PayPal's e-mail address at the bottom of the list at #6. Post the article (with your name in the #6 spot in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands). No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I figured: what have I got to lose except $6.00,right? Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well, GUESS WHAT!? Within 1 day, I started getting money in my PayPal's account! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $30.00. By the end of the second week, I had made a total of over $240.00! In the third week, I had over $3,000 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week, and I have made a total of just over $7,000 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00! I have spent more than that on lunch!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, WHY it works...Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so easy! Suggestion: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CARE-FULLY !! Print it out or download it. Follow the simple directions, and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00. IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and, it's 99% risk-free. Best of all-- it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $20,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days PLEASE CONTINUE ITS SUCCESS BY CAREFULLY ADHERING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. . This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business, your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you and me asking to be included in that list. Here are the easy steps to success: Following is a list of six emails registered at PayPal. Send $1.00 to EACH OF THEM using your PayPal\'ae account. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with a lawyer and they confirmed that this is indeed legal. SEND $1.00 TO EACH OF THE FOLLOWING EMAILS using your PayPal\'ae account: 1: Kobragt500@aol.com; 2: pattistreasures@aol.com; 3: Lenny8971@aol.com; 4: chrlwoods8@aol.com; 5: karelvandenberghe@hotmail.com. 6:rogeremp@yahoo.ca. Now delete the #1 email off the list that you see above and move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4,etc.) and add YOUR email as #6 on the list. Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now send this to all your friends. DO NOT SPAM! Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way if you are of integrity and honesty, the program will continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way. NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 - $1.00 for each of the first six people listed above! Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business! DIRECTIONS FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS -- Step 1) FIRST make sure it is not a TOS violation to post this message.You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computer's memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chatsites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the \lquote Subject\rquote ; this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group; then click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations!!! THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days, perhaps even hours! If you wish to stay anonymous, you can create a separate e-mail account just for this business using free e-mail services like \lquote Hotmail.\rquote (You must add this e-mail account to your PayPal\'ae account. You can have up to eight e-mail accounts on your PayPal\'ae account). Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5,that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday? JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!!! GOD BLESS YOU! P.S. Once you have set up your PayPal (www.paypal.com) account you can get a PayPal/MasterCard for INSTANT access to your money, or link your PayPal\'ae account to your personal bank account for easy transfers!

    - Outlook02 and XP Pro Hi, We are running SBS2000 on a LAN with 60% Win2K Pro with Outlook2002 client and the rest run Win XP Pro with Outlook 2002 client. What I have noticed is that when users view their Exchange Mailbox on the XP Pro machines using Outlook 2002 client, they need to click around the folders (e.g. Sent Items) in folder view to refresh their Inbox, otherwise any new emails would not appear in their Inbox automatically. If you hit Send/Receive it makes no difference at all. Is this a known problem? Please let me know on how to fix. skc Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168605

    - SBS2K with MIS 2002? Hi all, Think I may already know the answer but thought I'd check it out first... I know that MIS2002 isn't supported for installation on the same box as SBS2K [and that MIS has been superceded with Exchange 2003 which has the functionality built-in] but am wondering if this is one of those situations whereby it would work but was just not the prefered solution. IE it was recommended not to be set-up that way but that it could be made to work... We're going to be moving onto SBS2K3 sometime in 2005 but this is something that would be enormously handy for some of our users to have now. I know they can simply ActiveSync from their PC/laptop to their Smartphones but I'd prefer them to be able to do some while out and about in real-time... If not, fair enough [and I suspect this will be the case, before anyone flames me!] and will use it as a lever to speed up the upgrade to 2K3... :-) Cheers, David Tag: Add W2K3 DC to SBS 2000 Tag: 168601

Remember -everyone's- issue is important to them, so que jumping won't enhance anyone's opinion of you within the newsgroup. Mentioning the SBS component, Exchange, ISA, SQL Server, RAS, Pop Connector etc.in the heading will be a big help in catching the eye of experts in that field. =================================================== - If posting a Question, post with sufficient information for a complete stranger to understand your SBS version, environment; your issue, what you have tried and what failed. You're not cutting down on the typing as you'll be asked anyway, and it can only enhance the speed to diagnosis and resolution. A secondary benefit to this is that in correctly framing the question, the resolution often presents itself. Note: Stating your SBS version ( 4, 4.5, 2000, 2003 ) is particularly important as is whether your SBS 2003 is Standard or Premium and whether you have ISA installed. Please state all messages and IDs in failure notices and/or in the event viewers. Also what may have been installed/changed/updated prior to or during the issue. =================================================== - Posting In capitals on is considered SHOUTING! ...Please don't. =================================================== - Don't overlook or discount Paid Support. If the Issue is urgent or complex, the time you spend searching for a "free" solution. ...and cost factors such as Worker Downtime, Customer Irritation, Lost Productivity, and Hair Replacement costs will likely far outweigh the cost of a Support Call to Microsoft PSS (Product Support Services ) or a Support Professional. Note: Hotfixes are free of charge. Just ask for the specific Hotfix. =================================================== - It's difficult to convey human emotions on Usenet (Humour, Pathos, Sarcasm, Tongue-In-Cheek ) so use of emoticons and/or acronym tags is advised. .... and no; you -don't- have to be serious all the time. It's a community. Enjoy ! =================================================== - There are many paths to a solution and as many experiences in getting there as there are posters. Sometimes the paths are well worn, tried and true. Sometimes paths diverge, sometimes converge, and sometimes new trails are blazed. Understand and respect that, and use what suits you and your situation. =================================================== - People are different, but people are people. You should be nice to them. This is a technical newsgroup and not a place for Egos or Flame Wars. As a community we try to leave them at the door and respect each other. What you post here is archived and available to anyone, anytime. Remember ...."Please don't feed the Trolls!" =================================================== - Newsgroups are not your only source of Information / Help.

SBS encompasses a lot and has been known to make even corporate SysAdmins Cringe and MCSEs cry. None of us knows -all- the answers. We were all "Newbies" once and none of us has experience with every permutation, combination, setup and environment SBS is deployed in, so there are -no- stupid or dumb questions. That's the domain of answers that imply that there are. If you're asking a question and know the answer to another one on the page, muck in and post it. The poster may get a faster resolution than they would have, and an additional member may get a response they wouldn't have otherwise Your solution may be a something that we can all learn from. - What goes around, comes around.- =================================================== - It's not only Break/Fix. Anecdotes, Wishlists, Insights and Brickbats are all grist to the mill of SBS Topics and all on-topic for the community. =================================================== - Don't Multi-post*. ( *the Same Posting within different newsgroups or within the same thread.) If you must post to several newsgroups, Cross-post to just the relevant ones. A response in one will then show up in the others and all can follow the thread. =================================================== - Be patient. Newsgroups are not Instant Messaging, and people aren't on-line just waiting for you to post. If the situation -is- that urgent, then Paid Support will pay for itself. Remember: No-one -owes- you a response. =================================================== - Things get missed. Things do get lost or missed, or someone with the appropriate skills or experience may not be available, so if you haven't had a response after 3 Days or so, post again, perhaps with more detail and things you've tried in the interim. ============================================ - Lastly, -enjoy - and remember, SBS Rocks !

I have a customer running SBS 2000 who wants to add a Windows Server 2003
domain controller (obviously not running SBS). Anyone done this, know of
issues?
I've added W2K3 DC's to W2K domains with only the adprep work and had no
issues. They are not prepared to upgraded SBS to 2K3.

You can... the same way just mentioned (i.e. adprep first). No issues that
I'm aware of.
