2008 Standard in a SBS 2003 Environment
All,
I want to add a 2008 Standard box to an existing SBS 2003 environment. I assume it would be ok just to add it as a member server and user it as the file server/SQL server and leave the SBS 2003 server in to do Exchange/AD?
Thanks.

Do I need to do the ADPREP stuff if I want it to be a secondary DC?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You will need to do the Forest and Domain prep is you want to promote the 2008 server to a DC. But if you have plan to use the box as a Terminal Server then don't promote it.

Basically its just gonna be a file server and hold a sql database. It doesn't necessarily have to do any ad stuff but just thought having a backup would be smart.
You would just need to ensure you run the appropriate ADPREP commands.
