I am in a situation where I have three other computers at home a in
workgroup. I installed SBS 2003 on a fourth computer and did a clean
install. I went through all the CDs, including SQL Server and
Exchange.

The problem is I don't want to create a domain, I want the SBS Server
2003
to join my workgroup but I can't change the config under my computer
properties because its grayed out. I had to create a local domain
during the install, which i did and named it ITDOMAIN

Is there a way to disable it and let me join the workgroup?

Help is greatly appreciated.

I want to use SBS Server 2003 as a powerful workstation basically with
potential to using it as a full fledge server later on.

Thank you.
