SBS server 2003

I am attaching a sbs server 2003 to an existing p2p xp network. In true fashion the companys computers harddrives are completely full. I have installed servers on networks from scratch I have never transitioned to a domain from a workgroup. Is it possible to attach it in the workgroup so I can backup client files to it, if so how do I attach it as a part of the workgroup.
Also the company relies heavily on outlook on each comp. when I transition each client will their data and outlook be migrated to to the new comfiguration that sbs does to each pc?

I said:
SBS domains, if the workstations are joined properly with the connectcomputer wizard, should preserve user settings.
