An SBS is not a regular Windows DC - you

Your statement is not correct. There is a knowledge base article from
Microsoft which
describes the required steps to install a Windows SBS 2003 server into an
existing Active Directory: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453/en
This is more or less the way a "swing migration" works.
