Hi Joe,
If you're creating a new domain controller for a new domain, then the
existing local accounts will be moved into your new domain. If your
standalone server is promoted into an existing domain, its local accounts
will be lost.
If this is a standalone server, couldn't you just use local policy to
configure the security settings you require? The benefit of GPO's is the
ability to have policies applied consistently across multiple machines in
your domain. If you've only got one server, perhaps a local policy would
serve better than upgrading the server to be a domain controller.
Regards,
Mark.
