WDS server - Native to Mixed mode

I have a win2003 sp2 WDS server in Native mode, it has always been in Native mode as it was a fresh win2003sp2 install (without an exisiting RIS server) how can I make the server Mixed Mode?

Thanks

sweet. this helped me a lot since SP was installed on the server and automatically updated the RIS server to WDS native mode.. for some reason I didn't find this in any of the document's I've read. =)
I had the same problem, and tried the same solution, but RISETUP kept failing at the 'Authorizing DHCP' phase of the install.

I found out that I had to run RISETUP as an Enterprise Administrator to get this to work, since my deployment server's domain is part of a forest. I also had to restart the DHCP service on my domain controller before it would start dishing out IP addresses again.

Just thought I'd share this in case others run into the same problem.
