Need Password to synch

I have a Microsoft Windows Server 2000 (5.00.2195) Service Pack 4 with 1.5
Gigabyte RAM in a workgroup called: “Workgroupâ€. It runs a SQL Server package
with allows reports from our UNIX server to be run. The authors of the
package say the SQL Server cannot be moved into our Domain. They also do not
want us to create a domain and they want us to leave the SQL Server in the
workgroup. I have researched a “two-way Realm Trustâ€but this does not seem to
be a viable solution. I need it’s passwords to synch with our Windows Server
2003 Domain passwords.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
 
There should be no reason why that machine can't be in the domain, ask
them for specifics.

When you talk about realms you are talking about domains in the windows
world so until that machine is in a domain, no talk of realms is valid
for you.

While it is possible to grab passwords when they are changed on DCs and
then that be synced to the workgroup machine, I would not even start to
recommend that.
