2 SBS2003 Servers Sharing Information?

by barry.king7 . Updated 19 years, 9 months ago

Dear all, I have a client who presently has SBS2003 running on a bespoke PC. Due to a collection of problems they have decded to buy a new server. I am planning to get one from Dell with the latest SBS2003 software already installed to save a day. And now to the question…

My client presently has 11 employees, and I am buying 5 extra CAL’s for the new server. What I want to do is rebuild the old server and allow some people to log onto the new server and some to log onto the old server (giving me 15 CAL’s). This would not normally be a problem as I could/will just have two separate domains server1 and server2.

The problem I have is that I know that due to restrictions by Microsoft, you cannot have more SBS in a domain, but I want to be able to allow users logged onto either domain/server to see folders/locations on both servers depending upon which department they are from.

I also know that you cannot have trusts within an SBS domain!

Reasons behind this, no allowable downtime, upgrade to SBS2003 Premium, bespoke PC still reasonable for use.

Can anybody make any suggesgions please.

Gratefully
