Should be no problems joining the domain (as a member server). Is your version of sql std or enterprise?<br />
You will need to check that the logons etc are all ok and that the users can still access as required but I have not seen any issues. As always, make sure your backups are good.

Thanks for the feedback wmeerza. &nbsp;It is SQL Enterprise, I cant find any good technet or KB articles to make my boss feel a little more at ease with the change with the join to the domian though. &nbsp;Any chance you know of some good ones out there that you can link me to?

I have three SQL servers currently in the same work group, my client now wants the servers to be part of our active directory.<br />
<br />
Is there any issues or good kb articles up joining a current production SQL server to an Active Directory structure?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance for any feedback<br />

Join SQL to Domain \ Active Directory

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
