Jeff,

Thank you for replying. However, I'm asking about downgrading from Windows
2000 Advanced Server to Windows 2000 Standard. Some of my fellow
technicians installed the Advanced Server edition of Windows 2000 that we
are not licensed for, to maintain compliance we need to remove Advanced
Server and replace it with Standard edition. My question is how do I go
about doing that? Is the only way to completly reinstall the operating
system??
