How to "demote" Domain Conntroller?

A

Art Zasadny

I have a server running Windows 2000 Small Business Server
and was until recently the domain controller in my small
LAN (less than 10 clients). I have installed a new server
that is not running Small Business Server and I wish
to "demote" the old server and make it a "hot standby"
server. Is this possible? How do I demote the old server?
Thanks in advance!!
