My company purchased another company about a year ago. The decision at the
time was to leave their infrastructure in place. My company is on a 2000-AD
domain, the subsidiary is on SBS 2000. There wouldn't be any problems except
that SBS does not allow any trust relationships. This is going to come into
play when an ERP software package is rolled out, they are going to be
sending/receiving data to/from my company via VPN. At the moment I don't see
any way out of this except getting rid of SBS which will be a pain since
there wasn't really a new server that was budgeted for. Guess I'm in for a
fun month unless there is some better way to do this that I'm not seeing.

Thank you,

Don

You've pretty much got it...introduce a second server into the SBS =
domain...win2k or win2k3, make it a DC, then you could take it off the =
network, seize the FSMO roles, take the SBS server down and bring the =
new server online and now you have a NON-SBS domain which could support =
trusts.

Of course there are issues such as data, mail boxes, etc.

The server at the other location is a mess, all sorts of drives and shares in
addition to Exchange. Guess I'll be in for a longgg weekend when migration
time comes. Thank you for the quick reply.

The only other thing I can see is to upgrade SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 Premium
and then purchase the SBS 2003 Transistion pack and any additional
standalone CALs required. Don can then maintain the Exchange, SQL, ISA
capabilities and also get the trusts he needs. Expensive, but...

SBS 2003 Transition Pack Licensing
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/evaluation/faq/licensing.mspx#EEH

Q. From a technical standpoint what does the Windows Small Business Server
2003 Transition Pack do?

A. The server transition pack removes all of the Windows Small Business
Server 2003 limits (such as 75 CALs, no Active Directory trusts, and CAL
enforcement). The CAL transition packs are a license only.
