The Server is Dead. Long Live the Server

May 2, 2007 8:33 AM

Our Small Business Server 2003 is dead. We are recreating the server from scratch. We have two surviving secondary Domain Controllers, so the domain lives on, we just need to know what to do next.

We can add a SBS server to an existing domain. But should we first delete the old, dead server from the domain? Will SBS refuse to join a domain with another SBS server in it even if that SBS box is not running anymore?

If the old server is in fact dead, you might as well delete it from the domain. You have nothing to lose by doing so. I don't know if there will be any issues if you don't, though.
