Hello.

We have finally prompted a brand new 2003 server
to be our Primary DC, and configured an older
server (we installed MS Server 2003 OS first) as
secondary DC. Our former Primary DC, which is
a W2K Server, was demoted to just a backup.

How can we totally make this W2K backup to be
just a member server in our domain?

Thanks in advance.

Run dcpromo on it (presuming you aren't running Exchange on that
server).

Thanks.

It is a DNS server, as well. We also want to remove
the DNS services from this server because the DNS services
are now provided by the new DC1 and DC2.

Thanks again.

You can uninstall DNS too.
