You can disable DHCP, but I would advise against it. &nbsp;SBS needs everything installed per the wizards to run properly.

MCSA is right in general. &nbsp;Basically with SBS 2008 throw everything you know out the window. &nbsp;Most things in SBS needs to be running at all times because of the dependencies. &nbsp;However, DHCP is safe to turn off. &nbsp;If you think about it...even if you already have a DHCP server on the network, SBS2008 will turn off its own DHCP server. &nbsp;It'll spit constant errors but it will turn itself off.

I've run SBS 2008 servers without DHCP installed during migrations from SBS 2003 in the past (not on purpose mind you, but until the 2003 server went into sulk mode, we didn't notice) without problems.
