Demote NT4.0 BDC to Member server. 2

[jefblack]

We need to quickly remove any NT4.0 directory information from an NT4.0 BDC and make it a member server, such that it could join another domain. Any thoughts?

Re-install the OS.

If it doesn't leak oil it must be empty!!

Agreed, only way to do this in NT4 was to reinstall.

Generally there is no way to do it without a 3rd-party tool, but there is just a tool. I've never used it, so I'm not endorsing it.

I bet I have used UPromote at least 100 times. Get the product if you are gonna be using NT for a while....

Thanks...

I had already recommended a secondary install of NT4.0, then just fix the boot.ini and delete the first WINNT folder to protect the domain data, but this sounds pretty good!
