I can confirm this, member servers can NOT be promoted in such a manner. BDC's can become PDC's and vice versa, but if youre not royalty to begin with, you must remain a stand alone server.

Yes, it's possible but just forget it. You'll be chasing down inexplicable bugs for the rest of your natural life.

Just reload the OS.
