Hi...
Can any one help ? Is there a way of Disabling AD in Win2000Server or BYPASS it?

If you do not want to use Active Directory because you want to do peer-to-peer networking or use a Windows NT domain, you can do it. Be advised that if you have users using the Active Directory domains that their account information will be lost bydoing so.

I'm assuming that you have Active Directory (AD)installed on the Server and no accounts are stored in AD. To remove AD from the computer completely, type 'dcpromo' from a command prompt. The Domain Controller wizard will start and you can walk through the demotion process. After the computer completes removing AD and reboots, AD has been "disabled" on the server.
