We have a WSS Server that was originally a domain controller. We removed the DC role and attached the machine to the new DCs and domain.
Currently, the local security policies are disabled but the group policies
are not being picked up from the new DCs.
Our network folks are thinking we need to demote the server using dcpromo,
but I wanted to see if there was anything we should be considering. We
simply want to get this server to pick up the group policies.
Also, if a local policy is more restrictive then the group one, will it
override the group? It looks like the local policies have some of the old
setting still set but as I said we can't change them.
