Converting a BDP to DP
I know the process to convert a standard distribution point to branch distribution point is fairly straightforward but is there an easy way to do the reverse?

I've never tried to convert one that direction. Worst case uninstall the BDP and install the DP role.

There is no way, you should uninstall your BDP and install a new DP

That's what I was afraid of--thanks.
FYI, the reason I want to do this is that my company started out with multiple secondary sites, we converted most to BDPs, now want to take a few that have good bandwidth and make them DPs to use SMB.

John--unfortunately I ready your last post after it was too late, but thanks for the heads up on that tool. I plan to use that in the future.
