I've never seen SBS, but my younger brother has just started a new job
(first one since leaving Uni) and bought a new server and it came with SBS.
When he built it it appeared he had no choice but to make it a DC, even
though he only wanted it as a member server -there's already an SBS box
there.
Anyway, we didn't know at the time (this was a phone conversation) so I told
him to go ahead with the promotion (thinking it was just a stupid Dell
wizard) and demote it later. He did this and now it reboots every day.
So, I think I know the answer to this from the tidbits of info. I've seen in
the groups and forums, etc. but can the 2nd SBS box be added to the domain
with the first SBS or does he need to get a k3 Std. license instead? All he
wants at this point in time is a SQL and file server.
(As you can guess, this is a small company, he's one of three dev guys
there).
And, if they wanted to replace the existing SBS box with this new one, how
do they go about that if you can't have more than one SBS box? I doubt they
want to migrate...
Thanks,

You know us blondes....
With barely a twig, let alone a tree in our forest...and I'll have you
know this twig is clean installed 2k3 domain (I strongly believe in no
inplace even in our twig domains down here).
(and for the record for everyones trivia tonight....while I choose to have
a single DC (at this time) ... SBS can support additional DCs in our
domain.... hey.. I've even used ntdsutil and ADSIedit even down here ;-)

Susan, how on earth could _you_ get a lingering object? Seems impossible
