We installed a second Server running Regular Standard Windows 2003 Server.
We want to transfer domain roles and responsibilty to the new Standard Server.
Demote/Decomission the SBS server, thus having the domain now run in a regular Windows 2003 Domain and not SBS..

Failed connecting to the SBS server result -2146893022
The Target Principal name is incorrect
Also NTFRS:

KErberos error on new server:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Kerberos
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4
Date: 10/22/2009
Time: 10:38:00 AM
User: N/A
Computer: BDC
Description:
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/sbs.domain.local. The target name used was cifs/sbserver. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (domain.local), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
Cant DCPROMO the new server down
as it cant find target account name.
Cant detect FSMO roles either.
