Title: RE: [ActiveDir] BDC upgrade

Ditto. Used it once to "demote"
a BDC that was also a time source in the NT 4.0 world. wanted to keep the
server but didn't want it to be a BDC anymore. Best $99 bucks spent as far
as saved time, etc.

We have used this tool
on two occasions and it worked flawlessly both times. We went into it
knowing the risks and ramifications. In the end it saved us days of work
which was the alternative and well worth the risk.

I think
this is the one you are talking about Brian. It's formerly Aelita,
but
now is Quest.

They've
got a a product that will "demote" a NT4 PDC/BDC. It's
pretty
slick. And totally not supported by
MS.

Have
you looked into the File Server Migration Toolkit from MS? It's a
utility for
moving file servers and it includes a patch for 2003 that makes
it so the old
server name still works - utilizes aSP1 feature called DFS
Consolidation
Roots.
That aside, I forget who (been awhile), but somebody makes a
hundred dollar
utility which will let you convert a BDC to a member server.
It's totally
unsupported by MS, so if stuff breaks, you may be out of luck.
I'd look
towards the migration kit mentioned above,
myself.
Thanks.
