Maybe not! I did a bit of digging around for you and apparently there is a
utility call U-Promote (http://www.shilmover.com/U-Promote.htm) that allows
you to do this. It costs money though


DISCLAIMER: I am in _NO_ way affiliated with the company that makes and/or
distributes this product - in fact I haven't even used it - but I thought
you might find it interesting.

PS: Use at your own risk!!!

PS1: Once I installed a 2.0.7 server (Samba of course) to be a domain
controller so when I had no use for the NT PDC I actually fdisked it! Oh BTW
this 2.0.8 (now) server has been running nicely since then (over a year and
a half ago).

Cheers,
Makis.
