Recovery from Stupidity

by poorbass . Updated 15 years, 7 months ago

I had a domain controller running SBS2003 for my home network. The computer died about 4 months ago, and since I never tried to add users, I didn’t notice I REALLY didn’t have a domain controller. I tried to resurrect it with a new power supply and a new mother board. But it was “dead Jim…” I got a new 64bit machine and installed Windows7 Professional on it. I now have the old drive in the new computer and need to be able to copy the files there to the new machine, but the ACLs keep looking for the domain, which of course doesn’t exist. What now? Is there some way to copy the files to the new machine and lose the ACLs?
