Re: Reverting back

Once off the domain, the workstation is no longer locked into any settings by group policy so you should be able to change the settings however you want. But if you are looking for a one-click process to revert all the settings back to they way they were before you joined the domain (or just made changes for any othre reason) then you'd have to restore from a backup. There is no quick "undo everything" button.

I figured that but is there a way to return the workstations setting and such?

On the client PC, using the system control panel, you can rename the computer or change its network. From there you can change it from a domain to a workgroup (name the workgroup to something appropriate) and the computer will no longer be a member of the domain. You can then delete the account from AD.

I need to remove two Win XP Pro and one Vista workstation from SBS 2003 and set them back to the state before migrating them to the server. Is there a way to do this? These workstations are going to be use as standalone training workstations and do not need server access.
