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.
 
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.
