Trials and full versions usually use different keys, I don't think there is a way to change to full license without re-installing windows. The good news is your AD database is on the second DC and can be replicated back when you promo it. If this is your first DC be sure to transfer your FSMO roles to the other DC before you nuke it. Also you need to take steps to decommission the DC before you nuke it, so that the computer name is removed from AD. Read this article http://windows.uwaterloo.ca/Server/Disaster/MS_docs/disaster.htm Good Luck
