SBS 2008 and Server 2003
Hi guys,I need to setup a new SBS 2008 within an existing 2003 domain. Now what I want to know is whether i can just setup SBS 2008 and promote it toa DC after joining the existing 2003 domain or will i have to setup a new 2008 domain on SBS 2008 and migrate users over to it?regards

Hi,
Yes, you can add a SBS 2008 computer to a Windows 2003 domain and then run adprep to promote it to a DC.
