Small Business Server is, by definition, also a Domain Controller. Since a Small Business Server can not have an additional Domain Controller added to it, you can't cluster the entire machine. I don't see any real issues with clustering the Exchange or SQL servers....

I don't believe that any testing has been done with SBS either.

Actually you can have additional domain controllers in a Small Business 2003 Server based Domain.

Pasted forom the Microsoft SBS 2003 FAQ:
