Re: Poweredge server powering down by itself using SBS 2003

Hi,

The hardware person that installed the software for me suggested that we do
not finalize the installation, because it tries to convert the server from a
workstation to a domain controller? He suggested that we do not configure it
as a domain controller, we are a small dental office and do not need those
features in our network. Am I using the right software by using SBS 2003, or
have we just configured it improperly? Also, how do we finish the
installation without converting it to a domain contrller? Thanks.
