I have a server for a small project office that will be assimilated into a
government agency's Active Directory domain in about 8 to 12 weeks.

In the interim I'd like to setup a simple non-AD domain on this server. How
do I do this?

Thanks,
Tom
 
You can not have a Win 2k domain without AD. Without AD the most you can
expect is to have a workgroup. The installation of AD is what changes a
standalone/member server into a domain controller.

Not sure what you mean by "assimilated into a government agency's AD
domain". Is it to be a child domain of the "government agency"? Or will
these users be added to the existing "government Agency's" domain. Or is
this to eventually become it's own domain trusting the "government agency's"
domain?

What I mean is that this unit, if installed with AD, will be demoted into a
standalone server, then DCPROMO'ed into thier AD Forest.
All users will then be handled thru the enterprise. I want AD on the server
but not DNS.

Oh well, workgroup it is.

Thanks for the reply.
