Why is it unusual? I still have a few locations that have SBS2003 with an additional server and Windows 7 clients working with no problem.
If I understand you correctly you have the two servers, both are Domain Controllers, and you created user accounts on both servers? That sounds like you have 2 different domains, not one. The answers given to you are still correct for resetting the secure channel. But it sounds like you have other issues there that need to be fixed.

We have an unusual configuration at our office. We have our main server (Windows 2003 Server Std) for which we log into that domain and authenticate. We then have another server for our Exchange which is a Small Business Server 2003 (cost-saving). I set up each user on both servers with the same username and password. I miss-spoke when I said it was not our domain controller, because you are right, the very fact that the machine is SBS, it is a domain controller. This scenario has been working fine for about 4 years, untill I got a Windows 7 Pro machine. With this new information, do any of your suggestions change?
