     No, you don't have to. Login as the domain admin (or under an
     account with equivalent privileges), start the "Server Manager",
     select the BDC, and "Promote to Primary Domain Controller" under
     the "Computer" menu. You will be able to follow the process of
     the BDC being promoted to PDC and the PDC being demoted to BDC
     "live" onscreen.

     Good luck.

PS: You cannot promote an ordinary server to PDC/BDC or vice versa,
     but switching PDCs is eeeeeeeeeasy... Has to be that way if your
     PDC suddenly goes haywire/offline/...
