Windows 2003 Small Business Server

Is it correct to say that you cannot have more than 1 server in a Small
Business Server domain?
Can the domain have member servers?

No,

You can have multiple server in an SBS environment. However, there are a
couple of things that you need to know.

1) you can have multiple "non-SBS" Domain Controllers. However, the SBS box
must have all five of the FSMO Roles.

2) you can have multiple Member Servers.

I am sure that there might be one or two more things. These are the big
ones...

No. You may have only ONE Small Business Server per AD Forest (&Domain), but
you can have as many member servers or domain controlers as you want.*

*Other restrictions apply.

The domain was created with a SBS. So just to clear my thoughts:

Can I add other SBS as member servers?

Can I add Windows 2003 Standard edition as a domain controller or member
server?

NO. You can only have ONE SBS server per forest/domain. You can have other
Regular Windows Servers, but NOT any more SBS servers.

Yes, as many as you need / want.

No.

You can't have more than one SBS server in a domain....and an SBS box must
be a domain controller (you can't demote it).
