demote SBS2K to member server

Hello All,
We have been running SBS2K and now got a new SBS 2003. So all computers
have been moved to the new domain. Now I want to downgrade SBS2K to a member
server under the SBS 2003 domain, is that possible. If so how can I get it
done?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Imran.

Hi Imran,

You can't demote SBS. You will have to reinstall from scratch with plain
Windows Server media. You can't use SBS media for it.

You seem to have posted 3 different threads on this same topic.
