SBS server 2008 - additional domain controller
Posted on 2010-08-17
Hi,
I have a site running SBS server 2008 which is their sole domain controller. For redundancy purposes I want to add another server to perform the DC role. Can the 2nd server be a Windows Server 2008 Standard server ?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, rules of SBS ;
Only one SBS per forest
Must be the first DC in a forest
Must hold all of the FSMO Roles

Apart from this you can add servers to your heart's content.
