How do I demote a secondary windows 2K server when the PDC
has been distroyed.

What I want to do is clear out the old domain information
and build a new domain. I rather not rebuild the server.

This may help you:

332199 - Using the DCPROMO -FORCEREMOVAL Command to Force the Demotion of
Active Directory Domain Controllers:

There's also a 13 step manual method too, if you're interested. Not too
hard, just change one reg entry and delete a few folders and files and shut
off a couple services.
