Adding SBS 2008 DC to existing 2003 Domain (SBS)

Hi all I've been desperatly trying to resolve an error i've been recieving
when running DCPROMO on my new MS SBS 2008 domain controller.

What i'm trying to do is join a new 2008(SBS) DC to an existing domain. Time
after time i recieve the error: "The replication operation failed to allocate
memory".

I would be super apprechiative if you could help me resolve this issue!

Hello L2wi5,

As this is SBS i strongly suggest to use one of the forums newsgroups listed
here:
http://www.sbs2008.com/

Too many steps are different and there are your SBS experts.

Best regards

I don't think you can add an SBS 2008 to an existing AD...

There is not a possibility to create a trust between those 2 domains...

You have to "migrate" the SBS 2008 server into the domain.

This is not a trivial task and has to be well planned out. SBS is not simply
domain controller. If you try to install it without using the wizards you
are in for a world of hurt down the road.
