Undoing a PDC

[Darrin]

I set up windows 2000 server as a Primary Domain Controller
and have been told it is not to be a PDC, but intergrated
into an existing domain on the network. Is there a way of
changing this server (demote it)without re-installing it?
thanks in advance

Hi Darrin,

Run the DCPROMO command (the same command that is used to promote the
server). Be aware that any Active Directory data on the server that you
demote will be lost (although that does not sound like an issue in your
case).
