Here is my setup:

Office 1: SBS 2000 Server and a Windows 2000 Server.
Office 2: New Windows 2003 Server w/ Exchange 2003.

I will be setting up a Router to Router VPN. I want the two offices to be
in the same forest, possibly as a domain w/ subdomains.

Once the VPN is configured properly, I understand that I can join a Windows
2003 Server to a SBS 2000 domain. However, I am unsure how Exchange behaves
with this. I don't think another Exchange server can be part of a SBS 2000
domain.

Here is what I need to know: Can I Join Office 2 to Office 1's domain as a
subdomain, and keep Exchange separate? We use POP3 e-mail through our ISP,
so Exchange is only used to hold mailbox stores. Please give advice! I
appreciate it.

PM

I don't believe that Exchange Server running in the SBS environment can =
have additional exchange servers

And no the regarding the child domain
SBS only permits one forest/one domain

But can I join the 2003 Server to the existing domain, and install Exchange
to this 2003 Server, but just not join it to the existing exchange
environment?

you could...but not really sure whata you think you would gain by doing =
that...Exchange 2003 relies on AD for account information, email =
addresses, etc and so even if you added this 2003 server to the existing =
domain, even as a dc, where is this "new" Exchange Server going to get =
its AD info from??
