That may be done, as was mentioned, with dcpromo.
Aside from impacts due to loss of the domain, to the extent that
domain-level access and grants are in use, I have to wonder why?
A W2k server as a stand-alone can seem very like an NT 4 server
as a stand-alone, yes. But that is choosing to not use any of the
advanced that AD brought for centralized management, which even
with just 20 client machines can be a great timesaver.
I would really suggest that you think twice, even three times, about
this before you attempt to turn back time, choosing to run things
"the old way". Why not give yourself some time to see whether
things actually are better first, then think a fourth time?

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.
