If you had to manually join it then your SBS is screwed up somewhere and
you are likely to have more problems.

If you didn't use the wizards there is a good chance that the wizards
will not properly allow you to control the computer and you will also
have to move the computer into the proper COMPUTER group in the AD, not
the default AD manual add location or the Group Policy Objects may not
be applied properly.
