Migrating AD back to SBS2003

[Christian Reizlein]

We had a domain which was working in a SBS2003 normally but since we had
to change the hardware we added a second DC which is a windows 2008 and
transferred all the roles to it, and let it working alone.

Everything is fine now with the win2008 as a only Domain Controller
We now have to reinstall back the SBS2003 and transfer everything to it
from the win2008, is that possible? is there any how-to or best
practices? As it seems that all i can do is start a new domain from scratch.

Thanks,
Chris

Unless you changed the Domain functional level, you should be able to
re-install SBS following the appropriate Microsoft article on installing SBS
2003 into an exisiting domain. The KB presumes a 2000/2003 domain
controller - shouldn't be much different.

(best to use the SBS 2003 or SBS 2008 newsgroup as Meinolf recommened.)
