I have an existing SBS 2003 domain that is running fine. I have an
additional SBS Server 2003 license that is not installed anywhere. Can you
join a second SBS 2003 Server to an existing SBS 2003 serve domain as a
member server? I found docs that say Win 2003 Server can be a member server
to an SBS2003 domain, but nothing abaout SBS joining SBS. Please point to
any Microsoft technotes.

Thanks

There can only be one SBS Server in a SBS Domain and it must be at the root
of the Forest and contain ALL FSMO Roles.

Q. Can I use more than one Windows Small Business Server 2003 server in the
same company?

A. There can be only one Windows Small Business Server 2003 server in a
domain. Each Windows Small Business Server 2003 server is typically
connected to the Internet either directly, or via a firewall. Windows Small
Business Server 2003 does not support trusts between domains; therefore,
user names and resources could not be shared between those Windows Small
Business Server 2003 servers. Further, Windows Small Business Server 2003
installs at the root of the Active Directory forest, and it cannot be
demoted, or have the flexible single-master operation (FSMO) roles removed.
