Normally only one server running Windows Small Business Server is allowed in a domain. Windows Small Business Server 2003 had a seven-day window to complete a migration. When you run the Windows Small Business Server 2008 Migration Preparation Tool on Windows Small Business Server 2003, it extends the time limit for migration to 21 days. This time limit is counted from when you join the SBS 2008 server to the SBS 2003 domain to when you demote the SBS 2003 from the domain. One you demote the SBS 2003 server from the domain, the time limit reverts back to 7 days.
