And in a small network with SBS we want the DHCP on our DC because the AD/DNS works WAY better than when the DHCP is on the router. We strongly recommend that the DHCP stays on the server. These days most IT pros remotely manage that SBS box and some don't even delegate to an onsite IT person (o

We do it in SBSland all the time. Give the appropriate rights of course. SBS 2000 era with IIS being the IE 6 of it's day... yeah if you didn't patch we got nailed hard..but IIS 6 has been a rock and we're chugging along just fine. I'd be installing a SBS server in that location to be hones

Until about a year and a 1/2 a go, my DC and my member server were in an office location that had no lock, other than the lock on the front door of the building. Sometimes in small businesses, the same "best practices" that big server land take for granted are deemed acceptable by us based on
