I know that Microsoft says that there is no way to demote a BDC to a Member Server, other than to start over, I was wondering if anyone knows a way around this. We are moving to Win2K and this old server is going to be retired, but it is also running Lotus Notes Server that we use for troubleshooting, I don't want to have to redo the server, but I don't want it to be a BDC either. Anyway to do this or I am going to have to rebuild the machine?

You can if you are migrating your domain to W2K then it is possible to demote both your pdc and your bdc's to member servers. There is an excellent article on domain migration at:
