Howzit guys,

So I have a network with a SBS 2003 box as the main DC with AD etc installed on it.

I now want to put another SBS 2003 box up - however I do not want it to be apart of the domain. I want it off the domain.

Is it okay to installed the OS - and not run that little setup to configure the server afterwards and continue using the server as is?

reason I am asking is because I have said server running now and all seems good to me. I will be running a booking system off it only with a SQL database. All the workstations will contact the server via it's IP address, which works fine.

Is there any problems doing it this way?

Regards,
R.
 
Would it not make more sense to just add another 2003 server as a member server and install SQL?

SBS is pretty overkill for a SQL server.....
 
I agree with SBS being an overkill. However the company bought two copies of it and one was for this server. They didn't come to me first before ordering the software - so this is where we are now with it.

Must I just join this SBS box to the domain then? If so, how do I go about doing it the correct way?

what will happen if I just leave it off the domain - as it is now?

Regards,
R.
