Domain controller setup in a network with SBS and Server 2003

Hi,

I want to setup a small(medium) network with one domain controller (a
Windows Server 2003 computer).
In the same network I need another computer to which users can connect
(around 20 connections).
So I was thinking to choose SBS 2003 OS for this computer since I already
have the licenses.

I would like to know if the SBS 2003 computer work properly in the network
with the Windows Server 2003 domain controller.

Thank you.

SBS must be the first domain controller. You can then add the 2003 server as
a DC for fault tolerance. There is a technet article on doing so. You can
not add SBS to an existing domain.

Actually yes, you can. It's tricky though. I've done this before with
mixed results.

Trust Microsoft to do a turn around if enough people complain. Thanks for
the update.
