Hi there.

I have an recently upgraded my Nt40 domain to a win2003 AD domain. My old
PDC was demoted to BDC when I upgraded.

Now I want to Reinstall the BDC with win2003 and join the domain with the
same netbios name as before.

Can I just RESET the account in AD and then reinstall and join the domain
with the same name again?

Or do I have to delete the computer from the AD too?

Are there any issues regarding this?

Regards
Michael

No you'll have to remove the object from the AD and
create a new one during installation.
