I have a Windows 2000 Server as a Domain Controller. Can I add a Windows
2003 Small Business to this Domain. If so what is the procedure to do this?

I have tried to add it to the domain but have serveral problems. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks

Please not the appropriate SBS Newsgroups below:

SBS 2003 can only join an existing domain for a period of 14 Days in
order to transfer Rolls and Data.

SBS -Must Be- the Root of Forest, hold all the FSMO Rolls and be a
Global Catalogue in -its own- Single domain with no trusts or
sub-domains.

Them's the base rules of the product relating to Domains. ( there are
others ...see the sbs Website for product details )

Your choice is to Migrate your existing Windows domain to SBS.
