Is it possible to create a Local NT Domain(workgroup) on a Windows NT4 server after it has been installed as a member of a global domain, outside of re-installing NT and creating it before adding the server to a global domain?

To the best of my knowledge if you install the NT server as a PDC or BDC you cannot setup a "local" domain on that server without a re-install.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

Answer No. 1 is right. But I would like to add something more. A PDC or BDC cannot have a local domain as they are the domain controllers themselves. However a local domain is already existing in a stand-alone server which is member of the Doamin (Member Server). This is also the case with Nt workstation. You can go to the local domain in User Manager and use the Menu Select domain to edit/modify the local domain users.
