You can't have trusts on the SBS server, so it kinda
depends on what you mean by "migrate". Additional DCs are for "backup purposes
only" and are not intended to provide any other services :-P
(Can it be done, if you have extra boxes and non-SBS
software to play with? Yes. Is it a licensing violation?
Yes.)

This isn't for me so no licensing
issues involved here. Just brainstorming.
Hmm I always thought that you could
not do that with SBS. I've also read somewhere that you could not migrate
users from an SBS built domain to another AD domain. I assumed this was
because you could not have Win2k or 2k3 DCs in the domain. So would it
also be possible to migrate users from an SBS domain to a Win2k domain?
Assuming of course you have license to do so.
Thanks for the
clarification.

Yes, you can. The SBS server must be "at the root" of the
domain, to be "legal".
The SBS tools don't allow you to move the FSMO roles, but
you can do so at the other servers once they are are
promoted.
So, I must advise you not to do that, because it would be a
licensing violation.

Can someone confirm
something for me? Can you join a Win2k or Win2k3 server to a domain
created with SBS 2k or SBS2k3 and the run DCPROMO and bring it online as a
DC. I thought that you could not do that with SBS. I thought SBS
could be the only domain controller in your domain.
