Ok I have a windows 2003 SBS, now we are adding to our network 2 new Windows
2003 Standard edition (NO SBS) they are going to be one webserver and
another file server. My question is how do I setup the new servers that are
NOT DOMAINS to allow every users register in the Windows SBS AD to access
them. TO have same user rights they have at the Windows SBS..

If anyone has a site where I can get some info or give a idea how to do it
I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

If you don't want the new servers to be Domain Controllers (I assume that's
what you meant when you said "...new servers that are NOT DOMAINS...", then
it's simple. Join the computers to the domain, but do not install Active
Directory on them. To join them to the domain, follow the same process you
would follow to join a client computer to the domain. Since you're using
SBS 2003, you can use the Add Computer wizard (I think; I don't know that
I've tried running the connectcomputer tool on a server), or just configure
the computer to join the domain on the Computer Name tab of System
Properties (right-click my computer and choose "Properties", or go to
Control Panel and choose "System".) You will be required to reboot; after
the reboot, log on to the servers using a domain account with adminstrative
priveleges (like the Administrator account) to configure your file and web
servers. Check to make sure you're not logging on to the local machine;
that is, make sure the bottom pull-down box on the logon screen shows your
domain name, and not the name of the local machine.

The servers will not be Domain Controllers unless you install Active
Directory on them, and you have to go out of your way to do that, so you
can't really do it accidentally.

Hope this helps,

Bryan

Very simple. You just take the two Windows 2003 servers and join the domain
of the SBS 2003 server. All users will be authenticated by their domain
account on the SBS 2003 server. You will have to apply security and
permissions on the new servers.

close, but not quite.

Install the servers as a standard W2K3 install in a workgroup.
There is a specific branch of the SBS console for 'Server Computers'. Go to
the branch and 'Set up server computers'.
From the new box http://sbs/connectcomputer

Ah, thanks for the correction. I'll actually be making use of this info
soon (two new member servers to add to the domain, although one of them will
become a DC soon after. :-) )
