DCPROMO command should work just fine run it on the server tha you wish to promote.

Start Run "DCPROMO" press enter and follow the wizard.
greg, if it's a domain controller already, that means dcpromo has been run on it already. running it again will demote it. and then there will be no more active directory. =(

jfvalverde, read the link i posted.
