How to add a new SBS 2003 Server into an existing domain?
Hi Gurus,
We currently have a SBS 2003 Server with Exchange email and file sharing capabilities. Disk space is very low. We would like to add another server and transfer all email and data files. In addition we have being asked to implement OWA and Sharepoint services on this new server.
We would like to keep the existing server as a domain controller and add the new server as a member server. This member server will handle email, file sharing, OWA and Sharepoint services. The old server will remain the domain controller but will also be running a database.
What are the potential pitfalls of implementing a solution this way?
In what order should the steps be taken?
We think that it would take us about 3 days to implement all this. Is this an accurate estimate?

You're thinking inside the box. Try thinking OUTSIDE the box. Get a SATA or SCSI external storage array and attach it to the existing server.

If I cannot add another SBS server then that means I have to add a standard 2003 server with Exchange, OWA & Sharepoint. Can this be done? Fron the article it doesn't seem like it can.
What other options do I have for adding another server to get everything working?
