How did you fail?
 
Best way to do this (IMO) would be to build a new server installation, and make it an AD DC in the existing domain, so you would have a copy of the user accounts and the AD schema.
 
Then configure necessary network services on the new server (if applicable) such as DHCP, DNS, etc.
 
Finally, remove the old server.
