Small Business Server 2003 Role

Since I see no 2003 Server forums, I will post here.

I just installed my first ever Small Business Server 2003 server. It never gave me the option to specify the "Role" of the server during setup. It installed as a Domain Controller. How can I revert this back to be a "Stand Alone" server, like we can with Windows NT 4.0? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks....
 
I don't believe it can be done, as the purpose of SBS is to provide a single, stand alone, domain based solution for small businesses.

As such, the server software has been tweaked so that it creates itself as the sole domain controller in a single AD Domain.

SBS servers are not able to join or create trusts with existing domains.
