Zentyal added to SBS2003 existing domain (SBS Server is running on a Dell Server) as additional Domain Controller, now want to take the SBS Server offline, then install Zentyal on this Server and make it (eventually) the Primary or main Domain Controller.

Any advice or experience on the best way to do this.

Thanks.

Hello, someone try this path?
I ask the same question on IRC and got this reply:

Q: hello, Is there a way to introduce a Zentyal in Win2008 SBS network and after kill Win and stay only with Zentyal?
A: yes, you can join the zentyal box to the domain, then promote (that's the technical term) it to PDC. once the zentyal box is the primary, you can remove the windows dc

So the right procedure is: add BDC to Win domain for get all LDAP informations, demote Win server and promote Zentyal?
