Hi,
You need to run the command
dcpromo
on this server and follow the wizard.
Before you do this, make sure that you really want to do this (check the
implication of this action). If users have domain accounts and logon to
domain and you remove this domain controller, users will not be able to
logon to their computers. There might also be other services depending on
Active Directory domain such as Exchange server. Again if you remove domain,
these services will stop working.

I have taken over a Win2000 Server system. I want to change the system
name
and workgroup. When I go to System in Control Panel, it says I can't
change
those items because the machine is a Domain Server.
I don't need or want a domain for this application. The machine is simply
going to be used as a simple file server for 20 PCs. In our other store,
I
have a WinNT Server, with workgroup, no domain, that does that job very
nicely.
I would like this machine to work the same. How do I turn off the domain
server function, so that if functions with a workgroup, no domain? Thank
you.
