Nope, there is nothing bad about it. It could even be the
first DC in the domain - I just did that on Saturday....
Just make sure thatthe DC that you are going to demote to
Member Server via the DCPROMO process does not have any of
the five FSMO roles. Also, if it is running DDNS you
might want to first make it a secondary zone. Do not
forget to change DHCP if necessary.

Nothing bad at all - just ensure that any services and roles currently
running on that computer are appropriately migrated to other servers, if
necessary.

Hi Cary,

more detail how should I do it or is there any URL talk about this kind of
job, thanks.
