Re: How to unjoin workstation from non-existent domain

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Rightclick on 'My Computer', select 'Properties', click on the 'Computer Name' tab, and click 'Change'. Under 'Member of', it should have the 'Domain' radio button checked and below it the name of the domain. Click on "Workgroup" and give it a name: eg 'Workgroup". It will ask you to enter the Administrator credential and then restart the computer. After it restarts you will be in computer mode. Use 'connectcomputer' to re-enter the computer in the new domain.

Hope that helps

No I haven't. I guess I should be more clear. SBS is new to me; the last
network operating system I used was Novell Netware 4. How would I take the
computer out of any domain at all? I'm sure I could reconnect using
connectcomputer; I have done that before.

Did you try to take it out of both domains (old and new), reboot, and then
rejoin the new domain?
