Abstract: We present the combination of the searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=$1.96~TeV, using up to 5~fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The major contributing processes include associated production ($WH\to l\nu bb$, $ZH\to\nu\nu bb$, $ZH\to ll bb$, and $WH\to WWW^{(*)}$) and gluon fusion ($gg\to H\to WW^{(*)}$). The significant improvements across the full mass range resulting from the larger data sets, improved analyses and inclusion of additional channels are discussed; we expect sensitivity to a Higgs boson with a mass around 160 - 170 GeV with this data set.
