Is it possible to upgrade an NT4 BDC to Win2000 Server, and in the process 
make it a member server, not a Win2000 domain controller?  From what I've 
read, when a BDC is upgraded to Win2000 in an NT4 domain, it just makes the 
Win2000 box a member server and on reboot runs dcpromo, which can then be 
cancelled.  However, has anyone ever actually done this/seen it in action?

Thanks,
Tim
