Installation of SBS 2000 onto Current AD

[news.microsoft.com]

Hi,

I have a copy of BackOffice SBS 2000 that I would like to install but
reading through the documentation it states that the SBS must be the primary
domain controller on the network. My problem is the network is currently
configured with a windows 2000 server domain structure, with the AD all
setup how I want it.

What I would like to do is install SBS onto this network and use the AD
details already setup, thus adding it into the domain. Is this possible or
will I need to install it separately to a new domain, setup the AD again and
then bring all servers and clients across??

Many thanks,

Rick

use one of your 'vanilla' W2K install CDs to add the new machine as a DC
into your existing domain/forest. Transfer the AD FSMO roles to it and make
it a GC, then upgrade it to SBS.
