Might be OK - DHCP *might* be a concern unless you make sure the scopes don't 
overlap, SBS 2003 will shut down DHCP service under some circumstances (another 
Win DHCP server overlapping scope or something, IIRC).

I've done this frequently in a test environment, but not production. Ideally 
I'd think you want to separate out the broadcasts though.

Subject: Two servers on two different domains on the same network

We need to merge two companies together. Our plan is to put in a VPN between 
the two networks and then put in a temp server at one of the sites, add it to 
the others domain and use this as an onsite server which we will use to allow 
us to add the workstations to the domain.

My concern is that the current server at that site is an SBS 2008 box and I'm 
not sure how that will handle having another server, running as part of another 
domain, on the same network. Does anyone know?

Olly
