samba - Jun 2005 - How to disable the Windows PDC?

I'm looking to migrate the DC functions of an old NT server (running SBS) to
Samba.

While I'm nearly ready to complete the migration the one thing I have been
unable to find out is how to remove the DC functionality from the old server.

Is it good enough to just demote it to being a BDC? 

I don't want to take the old server off-line as I will be leaving some
applications on there for a while.

Any help appreciated.

regards

Alan

Unfortunately, with NT you can not demote it from a DC.  You have to 
reinstall the software as a member server
