RE: [ActiveDir] Join other DCs to an SBS2k or 2k3 domain?

[Joe Pochedley]

There are a lot of people who wouldn't agree that SBS includes a lot of "crap"...  Arguably, SBS includes a lot of value.....     Admittedly most people turn off more than they turn on with SBS, but if you even just use one of the ancillary products (Exchange, Sharepoint, SQL) in addition to the OS itself there's just no way you can beat the price for a small business...  SBS is meant to be the 'be all, end all" for the small business server needs...  For the market targeted by SBS, buying one server to run everything is much more cost effective even if you're only using half the features...  Heck, even just plain Windows Server 2003 is more expensive than SBS Standard (assuming you don't need SQL)....

On a related rant, I completed a small network installation for a friend’s growing business last weekend. It was my first experience with Small Biz Server. I’m amazed at the bulk of crap it includes. Seems like I turned off more features than I turned on. Several patches for SBS-specific bugs later, I finally have it stable. I will *never* recommend that behemoth again…Give me plain vanilla Win2003 Server anytime.   <mc>
