uh.. because you can? :-) And I was interested to see how they
documented the difference between pre sp1 and post sp1. I like how they
did it.
We don't dcpromo in SBSland unless we are migrating boxes. Truly,
unless we are in the process of migration... the typical SBS
admin/consultant never uses that command. Remember our annoying GUI
wizards do that for us.
The tools can easily be installed on any box. They just weren't on the
particular cdrom I was looking at. [again ... folks.. if you ever do
deploy SBS boxes.. don't do OEM]

So I'm curious why you would want to change the default anyways - if you
only have one box you can decrease the tombstone-lifetime to whatever amount
of days you want to be able to reanimate tombstones - which is not that
important in a single server infrastructure anyways since you could also
create new user-accounts and reacl the ressources if needed.
And I didn't think big or little - just wanted to point out that every box
which is dcpromoed into a new AD (forest) and has WS2k3SP1 underneath will
get 180 day tombstones, every box which is dcpromoed into a new AD without
SP1 still has 60 days. Just wanted to clarify that it does not depend on how
you got SP1 on your machine (slipstreamed or manually installed), it only
depends on if it was installed when you started dcpromo'ing. I'm pretty sure
you'd be able to install SP1 on a SBS prior to running dcpromo, but you know
that way better than I do.
