PDC Replacement

[Guest]

I tried SBS-2003 for PDC.
Decided to remove it from the domain.
Tried to promote Advanced Server 2000 to PDC, and it appeared to work.
However, still some links to the original SBS Server that I couldn't get rid of.
Even tried REGEDIT to remove/rename the items, but still getting errors related to logon, etc.

Thanks in advance.
