RE: Restore Question

[Correa, Andre]

Cheapest way and maybe second fastest would be to install 2000 and then use Dcpromo to demote from Domain Controller to member server.  Absolute fastest way might be to use U-Promote (third party utility), but Microsoft says they will discontinue support on a NT server that has been “Upromoted”  (Oh no, what will I do without Microsoft Support???  <takes tongue out of cheek>)   ____________________________________________ Andre Correa Senior Manager/Information Technology Lexitron, Inc (201) 892-6399   -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 12:58 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Restore Question   Has anyone ever tried to restore a machine back to it original state, except, BIG exception, without making it a BDC?  I am want to upgrade and old imaging system, that doesn't have support...long story, but I don't want this machine to be a DC anymore.  I want to move to a Windows 2000 Network and I know I can do a mixed mode, but if I could do this, my job would be much easier.  Weird question I know....but has anyone ever tried this??
