I stand corrected in my previous advice - you really SHOULD NOT use TWO SBS 2003 servers on the same network. SBS 2003 is a single, self-contained solution that's not meant to be scalable beyond it's limitations. You CAN put two SBS 2003 servers on the same network - but they can't be part of the same domain. It is, however, possible to integrate a single SBS 2003 server with other MS Server 2003 servers. The SBS 2003 becomes the domain controller by default.

Earlier post you mention W2K3 & SBS2003 are interoperable? Does that means that they are able trust each other's domain? Sorry for the ignorance really new into all this ... thks
