Hi,
Is is possible to join an SBS 2011 server to a domain managed by another SBS 2011 server? I know you can't have 2 domain controllers, but I just want the second SBS 2011 to be a client on the domain.
I have 2 SBS 2011 licenses, so I would like to make this work. When I try to join the domain, I get an error that "An attempt to resolve the DNS name of a domain controller in the domain being joined has failed".
I do have the other SBS 2011 server acting as the domain controller and DHCP is on. Is there something else I can do? Can I somehow run DCPROMO to demote the server first?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
