I'm installing an SBS server with a colleague next week. It's actually replacing an old 2003 SBS server. He has built it with the same domain name (different computer name).
Now, obviously that doesn't mean the new server is now magically part of the existing domain as the SID's will be different. He claims the servers will be able to talk to each other for the purpose of copying data but I'm not so sure. The old server will be retired once data has been copied off it but will they actually talk to each other??? I.e. will I be able to browse from one to the other and copy data?
My head says no....
There's only a handful of PC's so rejoining them isn't too much of a problem, although if both servers are running I'm not sure how we'll know which domain they've joined!! I suppose whichever they're looking to for DNS.
Are we F**cked!?
