I think Greg meant to say you will need to by CALs for the older servers to legally use them in the SBS2008 domain.
Are you planning to do an upgrade or a new SBS2008 install? You cannot do a direct upgrade from Server 2000 to SBS2008. The second server in SBS 2008 Premium can be used for whatever you want. It is just another 2008 server.

Only the 2nd license is included in SBS Premium. -----Original Message----- From: Phillip Partipilo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 02, 2009 5:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Quickie SBS 2008 question regarding std vs premium We're going to go SBS 2008 from regular 2000 server. SBS 2008 just looks like it adds another Server 2008 license and SQL Server. I doubt we'll ever use SQL server. However, wanting redundancy, can we still keep our 2000 servers on-board, and upgrade the schema so they can stay in the replication loop? If not, will that second Server 2008 in Premium keep a replica of the AD? Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.
