Hi, Is there a way to "downgrade" a PDC (Windows NT4) to be a Server only without having to reinstall NT. Just by changing the right things in my registry. I don't care about loosing all my domain users because because i'll work with my local SAM only on that node. ? I know i will have some trouble with the existing Security Identifiers but i don't care. Thanks for answer. Clark

I think the answer is no, but I can be easily overruled. I don't think
domain controllers have anything like a local SAM. Why the hesitation
to reinstall? Good chance to clean up the system. ;-)

Basically, no. You can change the registry setting for the NT type from "lanman" to "server", but it won't work properly. | |||||
