SBS 2000 Exchange interoperability with Windows Server 2003 domain

I have a customer with an existing SBS 2000 DC and Exchange server. Does
anyone have any information on integrating it with a Windows 2K3 DC on the
same domain? My first thought is no, this is not possible, but please
correct me if this can be done.

SBS is Single Domain, no trusts with the SBServer at the Root of the
Forest Holding all the FSMO rolls, so it cannot be Integrated with /
directly connected to another Domain, however it does support replica
Domain Controllers and does support VON and Pass Through authentication.

What are you wanting to do ?

Hello Aaron.

You can add a Windows 2003 server as a member server or a DC to an
existing SBS 2000 domain. Just make sure that the SBS server retains all
domain master roles as it must be the root of the AD forest.

Hope this helps.
