You are allowed to split SBS among servers I believe. Last time I checked the licensing and structure of SBS is to load all software on one server which is the only DC in a new tree in a new forest and no other DC is allowed. You can have as many member servers as you want. John Tolmachoff MCSE, CSSA IT Manager, Network Engineer RelianceSoft, Inc. Fullerton, CA 92835 www.reliancesoft.com _____ This E-Mail is confidential.
