Just depends on when you Dcpromo it. On the first DC in the Forest: WS2k3 then SP1 then DCPromo: 180 days WS2k3 then dcpromo then SP1: 60 days WS2k3 w/ slipstreamed SP1, then DCPromo: 180 days
However as I understand SBS-Land you are unable to do SBS then SP1 then dcpromo w/o slipstreaming. Gruesse - Sincerely, Ulf B.
