Hi all,
Here’s my situation. 1 server running SBS 2003. 7 clients (all XP), 6 of which have not yet joined the domain. Domain name was initialized by EMR software vendor then shipped to me (in WI) from software vendor (in CA).
From what I’ve read, to rename the domain you need to set up a “control station” that is both a member of the domain, and running some flavor of Server 2003. All other computers at my disposal are running XP. Additionally, the control station must not be a domain controller.
Is there any way I can rename this domain? I’ll admit I’m not too familiar with SBS 2003, but is there a way for me to downgrade the server from a domain controller without any other servers running on the network? From my perspective, a reinstall is in order, but that will require me to inevitably send the server back to CA, miss 2 weeks of planned training on the EMR software for end users, and push back the planned 2/18 opening.
Any comments, suggestions, or additional questions are appreciated.
