Huh?

Say what?

You shouldn't have to browse to the existing server to do anything.

Either I am going mad then, or things have changed. It could have been an SBS hosting the AD before, but there was defnitely something that had to be done...

SBS has the \\servername\connectcomputer to add WORKSTATIONS to the domain. But that wasn't an absolute requirement. Just a nice little wizard.

It's not a requirement, but it is recommended. Using connectcomputer on the clients helps ensure your software and system settings are properly done for SBS.

As for adding a server, see "Add Member Server" under "Clients and Servers" on my SBS page below:
