I built a new computer for my boss and when it came time to install WinXP, I
had to choose between network computer and standalone. I knew that all the
computers on the premises shared a net connection, so I figured the computers
were networked. Wrong!
(There was no one to ask. This was for a church; people volunteer time to do
things like set up computers, then disappear. No continuity.)
So now I have a standalone computer that pops up LDAP windows asking to be
connected to the main server and Active Directory Services. Which do not
exist.
The LDAP popups happen:
a) at startup; click cancel and the popup goes away
b) whenever we try to use the address book in Outlook.
Another employee thinks that she might be able to solve the Outlook problem,
by customizing Outlook. This would do a lot to mollify my angry boss.
However, it would be nice to be able to completely reconfigure the computer
as a standalone, and get rid of all the LDAP popups.
Is there a way to do this without wiping the computer and doing a complete
reinstall? It would seem that there should be, but I can't find any info
anywhere. Perhaps because no one else has ever made this stupid mistake
