I have a w2k domain in mixed mode. I need to demote old BDC's but they have
to continue working as stand alone. Whow can I do it?

Thank You

You cannot demote a BDC natively. You would simply turn off the BDC and
delete it's computer object.

However, there is a third party product that many in these groups have used,
and provided positive feedback about. It is called upromote. This will do
exactly what you want.

I've used UPromote and it works fine. You will also need to
sort out permissions afterwards though.
