I guess I didn't explain my situation well enough.
This computer with W2K server OS was a client of our
domain. I pulled the computer to fill in for a down
computer for a lab in class. This computer was changed to
a member of the class workgroup. After changing it to a
member of the workgroup, shutting it down, moving it to
the class and then I boot the computer and when it comes
to the logon screen the option to enter or change the
domain is not there any more. So, I enter the admin UN and
PW and the error says that it is not able to validate the
UN and PW so I am not able to logon at all. I suspect that
is because it is not a client of the domain any more and
since I am not able to get past the logon screen I am not
able to get to the desktop. If I could get to the desktop
I can change the network settings. Again, I have the admin
PW. The error says to make sure that your domain is
entered correctly. This computer now is not able to join
the domain or the workgroup.
