Downgrade from Enterprise 2003 to Standard 2003

Hi,

I need to downgrade a server running Server 2003 Enterprise Ed., but a pirated copy. My client has purchased a 5 user pack of Server 2003 Standard and wants to downgrade or revert back to the legal standard edition.

Can I just replace the key by re-activating the activation process or by running a soft repair on the OS without losing the shared drives, vpn settings, and a small active directory group? Whats best?

Thanks!
