SBS & Server2k3 Member Servers 1

[scanmanski]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know if I can add vanilla Server 2003 Member Servers to my SBS Domain?

If so, can some also be made into DC's?

Might be obvious but I don't know!

Thanks,

To save you some reading (though it looks like those links do provide what you wanted):

Yes, you can add member servers and additional domain controllers. As a rule of thumb, I do not recommend more than TWO DCs at any single site, ESPECIALLY when you are using SBS - there's no point to more than two on a single site (if you have multiple sites, then a MAX of TWO PER SITE, usually (with SBS) two at the largest site and one in every satellite site.
