Re: NT domain, windows server 2003 client

Hello:

You should remove the computer from the domain using the opposite process
you used to add it the domain, i.e., go to My Computer > Properties >
Computer Name tab > Change button > add it to a workgroup (you can just use
WORKGROUP as the name unless you have a specific workgroup).

Also, there should be no problems with adding a Window Server 2003 server as
a MEMBER server of an NT Domain.

Martin

We have a windows NT domain here that we haven't upgraded to windows
2000/2003 b'coz there is no bandwidth/need for it. We sporadically use
this domain and last week I tried to add a client that is running
windows 2003 server to this domain. I could successfully add, but I
couldn't reboot at that time since my user wanted to me to wait till
the weekend to reboot.

I had to add this system to the domain to test some netbackup
processes. However, I am not sure if the system would've issues going
forward if it's on NT domain. So, I want to take the system out of the
domain. I have to reboot the windows 2003 client this week for another
reason and I don't want it to think that it's going to be in the domain
going forward.

My question is, should removing this computer's name from the domain's
server manager enough or do I have to do anything more? I just don't
want this client to be part of the domain. I need to know if I need
to do anything specific on the client side. Looks like there is no way
to tell the client u don't want to be part of the domain. Meaning,
there is no way to remove it from the domain, from the client side.

Any ideas/thoughts?

Thanks a lot!
A
