How to join a Win 2008 R2 Server to a Win SBS 2011 Premium domain

Hi there,
I purchased the Windows Small Business Server 2011 Premium Add-On and would like to deploy additional Win 2008 R2 server on my network running Windows SBS 2011. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should be able to join it as a member server with no problem.  This is your intention correct?

You can try modifying the hosts file to allow access to your  site

Cliff ,
You will also want to open Active Directory users & computer Module, and expand your domain- go to OU :MyBusiness- Computers, and move the Server 2008R2 from OU: SBSComputers to SBSServers, it will give you a warning but accept , and go on.

This will put the new Server in the servers section in the SBS Console .

Just a FYI
