Removing a computer from a dead SBS server
We had a Windows 2003 SBS server that bit the dust and is no longer accessible. All the PCs on the LAN were "connected" (or whatever the accurate term is) to it.
We have a new Windows SBS Essentials 2011 box. When I try to join the client computers to it using the http://<server name>/connect method, I get this:
"This computer is already connected to another server. Before connecting this computer to the server, you must first remove this computer from the current server."
How do I do this if I can't get into the previous server to remove the client computers?

That did the trick, thanks!
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
