SBS 2003 directory services restore mode password

[Pants]

In regular server 2003 (not SBS), before you promote the server to a domain controller it gives you an option to set a DSRM (directory services restore mode) password. But in SBS you're automatically a domain controller when you install it, so is the administrator password you set up when installing going to also be the DSRM password?

I can't remember but I do remember that they're easy to reset if you've admin access to the server.

It syncs that password do whatever you make the Administrator account password during SBS Setup. And whenever you change the Administrator password...it syncs it again.

Our tech's recommendation: If it's running in the directory, it probably synced. If it's not running in the directory, it probably didn't sync.
