Anyone ever successfuly demoted a DC running 2k server and Citrix? I mean done it without reinstalling everything?

I'd like to demote all three of the servers I'm in charge of now (all in the same citrix farm), but I'm a little worried on what exactly it'll do..
Anyone got any good doc's on it? I searched Citrix site, but didn't get any results.. Any good stories about it? Any horror stories?

Haven't done it myself - mainly because I never install MetaFrame on a DC (the whole security issue of users being able to logon locally to a DC tends to give me the willies). Still, don't see why there should be any problem with doing it (either to the farm or to the domain). Frankly, as long as you don't do all 3 servers at the same time (just to make life easier if a problem does occur), sounds like a really good thing to me... ;-)

If you're really concerned, you could always fire up a test server and do that one first....

Cheers

P.S. thread48-582765 Hooyah seems to have done it without any issues.
