SBS must be the root of the forrest... you can't have SBS as a child domain
of your central office. You can't even join it to the existing domain.
It looks like SBS won't fit your scenario... so what you should do is get
the Migration Pack (and Migration CALs). The migration pack will license SBS
for the stand alone products... so you won't be limited by SBS restrictions.
Will be exactly as having Win2k, Exchange2k, ISA2k, SQL2k as stand-alone
components... then you can upgrade to Win2k3 if you like.
You can learn more about the MP-

If you have more questions please post back.
