reloading a domain controller

[jake]

What are the steps in relaoding a domain controller for 2003?

Do I make it a member server and then reload? The server will be
called the same as it is now.

Thanks
J

All I need to do is reload the server? What do I need to do?

Is the computer name of the computer to be "reloaded" still in the domain's
Active Directory in the Domain Controllers OU?

If so, you will need to delete it from there and in Active Directory Sites
and Services wherever it's name appears.

Then install Windows Server 2003 and use dcpromo to promote it to being a
Domain Controller in the existing domain. You don't need to "join" it to
the domain first.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

First things first...

What do you mean by "reload"? Why do you need to do it? The process you
will use will differ dramatically depending on the answers.....
