Hi,

This sounds like you have installed a CAS.


Discovery method                                    Supported locations
Active Directory Forest Discovery          •Central administration site
                                                                   • Primary Site                                          

Active Directory Group Discovery          • Primary site
Active Directory System Discovery        • Primary site
Active Directory User Discovery             • Primary site
Heartbeat Discovery                                • Primary site
Network Discovery                                   • Primary site
                                                                   • Secondary site

If you only under 50,000 users you don't need a CAS - it will over-complicate your life.
You don't need to uninstall/reinstall. You can build a new Primary SP1 and do an SP1 to SP1 migration. From what I understand, the CAS is more of a traffic warden, so all the info you want is on the primary, so that's what you migrate.
