SBS 2003
Posted by Matt Helm on January 20th, 2005


I'm installing SBS 2003 for the first time and i'm following along the
Continued Setup. My local domain is company.local and SBS 2003 wants it's
own unique DNS name? I can't join SBS2003 to my existing local domain?

"Setup has detected a duplicate DNS domain name on the network. A unique DNS
domain name is required to continue Setup.

What should I do?

Thanks
Helm

The SBS server has to be the first DC in a domain and has to hold ALL the
FSMO roles. You can not join it to an existing domain as far as I am aware.
Perhaps Susan is lurking here to tackle this.
