Re: Migrating from domain to workgroup.



See the link below on what to do when you can not access your local
administrator account. I tend to doubt that System Restore will do the trick
but it may be worth a try. I hope you did not encrypt any files with EFS
at some point as you may not be able to access them again unless able to
logon as the domain account. --- Steve

To all,

We recently changed companies/offices. We previously logged into Windows
XP
Pro through a domain. Our new office does not have access to the domain.
We
changed the connection to a workgroup type, and now cannot log into the
workstation. I found out - too late - that we should have added a local
user
before we switched to the workgroup.

Is there any way I can use the system restore feature to change back to a
domain logon? Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks in advance,

Eric
