ADUC question

I am doing the initial configuration of MOSS 2007 (Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server) on a Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 box. The network
consists of 2 servers - a DC running SBS 2003 Premium SP1 (which uses
Windows Server 20003 Std SP2 as the OS), and another physical server with
Windows Server 2003 Std R2 SP2 as the OS. I also have SQL Server 2005 on
it. This second server has MOSS installed in a single server setup. The DC
has Active Directory and Exchange 2003 on it.

As part of the configuration, the installation guide says this: "In Active
Directory Users and Computers, select the folder for the
second-level domain that contains your server farm." I don't see this
(second-level domain) anywhere; am I supposed to have created another
domain? Can someone help or point me to a resource?

Many thanks in advance!

The term "second-level" domain implies that the guide refers to a
multi-level domain forest hierarchy - is this the case?
This would not apply in your case (SBS-based install).

Maybe so. I've posted several questions on Sharepoint-specific newsgroups
in the last couple days, but no answer yet. Thought I'd try an AD question
here.

Thanks,
Mike
