Don't copy the secrets.tdb, most of the information in secrets.tdb is 
server specific.  The information piece of information in the file is 
the domain SID.  So preform the upgrade just like a real MS domain.  
Join Server 2 to the domain, so it has the correct domain SID, then 
edit it's config to make it a the domain master.  At this point you can 
either edit the config on Server 1 and demote it to a normal domain 
server or simply turn it off.

Hope that helps,
Derek

Isn't sanity just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean, all you get is that 
one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, well, the 
sky's the limit!
