SBS is specifically designed not to interface with any other NT domains. It
will not let you have a BDC, it will not let you set up a trust
relationship. Also remember to use the manage server console as much as
possible because there is some software(Seagate Backup Comes to mind) that
will not work unless you install and manage it through The manage server
console.
