A domain computer can have only one active account in the domain. If you run
the support tool gpresult on the XP Pro computer in question it will tell
you what container it is in. The other account can be deleted. If the active
account is the domain controllers container you can then move it into
whatever container you want. An XP Pro computer can not be a domain
controller. Just because a computer is in the domain controller container
does not make it a domain controller. The only relevance would be that the
Domain Controller Security Policy would apply to any computer in the domain
controller container which would mostly be user right assignments. With
default policy any computer in the domain controller container does not
allow regular domain users to logon to it. --- Steve
