Exclamation Help converting a Workgroup Server to a Domain Server on Windows 2000 Server?
I have installed Windows 2000 Sever as a workgroup and I have three clients connected, also as workgroups. All the computers can see each other but I want to change the Server into a Domain so all clients can log on and I can regulate security measures. I know how to have the clients join a Domain but I do not know how to actually create a Domain on my Windows Server. Any help is appreciated.

Shaun

Lots of good books and help files on the web on the subject.

But if you like to fly by your pants type "dcpromo" at the servers cmd prompt and you'll be flying.

What? That's just a quote of what the original poster said, except it's missing the final [/quote] tag.
