RE: sbs and nt server pdc



Dear Customer,

Thank you for posting here.

I'm afraid that SuperGumby is currect. If this is an NT box and you want to
keep it to run any application service, you cannot "demote" it to a member
server. You can provide any further info here and check whether other MVPs
are able to help you.

Since this is a complex consulting question, it is not suitable to support
in the newsgroups. We would also like to introduce you to the PSS Advisory
Services team.

Advisory Services is a remotely delivered, hourly fee-based, consultative
support option that provides a comprehensive result beyond your break-fix
product maintenance needs. This support option includes working with the
same technician for assistance with issues like product migration, code
review, or new program development.

For more info in the US and Canada:

Outside of the US/Canada:

I appreciate your understanding.

Regards,
