Hi, all

We recently got a new win2k3 sbs server and restructured the local domain.
The old win2k server was taken out of the domain... as a stand along
machine...

I want to join the old win2k DC to join back to the new domain. I tried to
dcpromo the machine and failed... anyway i can downgrade the old server and
rejoin it back to the new domain without formating it. ..Many tks!
Jas
