Server Shuts Down

Hi.

I have a network with 3 servers. 2 SBS and 1 Enterprise. The Entp. Server is
the domain controller. One of the SBS servers is an Exchange 2003 server and
the other one is just for storage.

This message: "the server SERVERNAME doesn't meet the licensing
requirements. SERVERNAMER will shutdown in 60mn"... 30mn... Off.

How do I find out what license it is referring to and/or how do I go about
fixing this problem.

Thanks in advance,
Altair

SBS has to be the one and only Domain Controller in a domain. It must be a
DC.

Oops... I take that back. Not exactly right...

SBS must be a DC holding the FSMO role, but there can be other DCs in the
domain. However, I believe there can be only one SBS machine in a domain.

Yes, and it has to be the 'root' or 'first' DC in the domain and hold all
the FSMO roles.

You can't do that, sorry....

Sounds like you bought the wrong products - if you wanted SBS, you'd have
had to install it either *first* - or properly installed it into your
existing AD domain as per http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453. But you
can have only one SBS box in the domain, and if you have one of these in use
'just for storage' you'd probably have been better off buying a NAS box for
that.
