Promoting an '03 server to a DC - Quick Question
We are running on a Windows 2000 SBS domain. This weekend I'm planning a promotion of one of our 2003 Standard servers to a DC. Everything has been prepped for the promo, but I'm curious if I need to be aware (cautios) of anything that I should do after I run DCPROMO. That's all. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
As fare as i know about SBS it can be a DC of a domein but with some limitations.

May I ask why that was chosen as the answer? It really has nothing to do with what you were asking.

He can join another DC no problem. It just can hold any of the FSMO roles. (Desired Accepted Answer)

Oops...it just CAN'T hold any of the FSMO roles. Big typo - sorry! (Assisted Answer)
Again, my apologies. Alimu, could you please make the adjustments?
