Hello Group,

I hope this is the right group for my question, so forgive me if it's
not.

I have to move a large intranet from a Windows 2000 standalone server
to another which uses local accounts, about 2000, for acess control on
web sites.

I would like to know if my idea for doing that migration is right:

1) first I do a dcpromo on the actual server to have all my accounts
in AD

2) then I join the new server to the AD domain

3) I let all accounts syncronize then I remove the old server from
domain

4) last I can do dcpromo on the new server to have all user accounts
locally

Could this work?

All help is appreciated.

Bye,
Dirk
 
No, because when you will demote your AD you will lose all your accounts.
Those accounts will not be transferred to local SAM on the server. Sorry.
