Its a windows xp machine on the domain that I want to put into workgroup
mode. Why do I need domain admin rights for that?

Hello joey,

Yes. And if you like to remove the account form the domain, domain admin
rights are needed or delegated control for non-admins.

what kind of local rights doesa user need to disjoin a machine from
domain and put into workgroup?

Does it "have" to be local admin?
