I had one Small Business Server 200 with the domain name
happy.com. There was another server on the network as a
child with the name citrix.happy.com. The main server was
reinstalled with the domain happy.local. How can the
child server become a memebr of the tree again? Should
the 'child' be demoted to a stand alone server? If
the 'child' is demoted to a stand alone server, would the
other server be able to access resources on it?

Thanks!

If you demote the child server, all the domain data will be lost. If this is
acceptable, then go ahead and run dcpromo on it to demote it. From here, you
have two options. If you want the machine to be a domain controller for
happy.com, you'll need to run dcpromo again, and make it so. Otherwise, join
the server as a member server (my computer>properties>Network ID) to the
happy.com domain.
