I am doing a SBS 4.5 to SBS 2003 migration and would like to know if anyone has any experience in this area. Particulars: -SBS 4.5 installation has small number of users, (10) -Only 5 users use the exchange mailboxes to store mail, etc.. The other users keep data on local .pst files. -There...

Thanks to everyone for your responses. Actually, I don't mind if everything related to the domain goes away because I just recently did the DCPROMO and only had two test workstations join the domain. The current domain user accounts consist of the local users accounts on the server that...

xmsre: Thanks for your response. I am in mixed mode, so nt4 is supposed to work. There is no SQL, etc. It was a basic file and print server in workgroup mode with local accounts for the users prior to the DCPROMO, the only exception is there is Services for Macintosh is being used. Sorry...

milchstein: Thanks for the response. Actually, I could put up another box running nt4 and have it hold the users because it only cares about the netbios domain name without the .com or .local extension. I could change the AD domain extension and the nt4 box wouldn't know the difference. I am...

Immacola, thanks for responding. Since this box was previously the server on a workgroup network, all the user accounts to access the data on it were local (to the server) accounts. When I did the DCPROMO to implement AD, all the local user accounts became AD domain accounts. My hope is that...

Converted a Windows 2000 Server in workgroup mode to a DC (single server network). All local users were migrated to AD (good). Named the local domain the actual valid domain name (not good). Want to remove AD to change domain name (change .com to .local). If I run DCPROMO to remove the AD...

Just an update: I was able to recover all of the partitions to a replacement drive by using Storage Manager (Portlock Software). I emailed Portlock to see if Storage Manager would be appropriate for my situation. Not only did they respond quickly, John Hanley personally walked me through...

I have a Novell SBS 5.1 server that cannot mount the SYS volume and is exhibiting physical drive problems. (SCSI Cheetah 18GB on Dell PowerEdge 2400 Single Disk, NO RAID). This morning, the client was getting license manager errors and couldn't mount SYS partition upon reboot. I ran Dell...

I guess that it isn't so strange to use a SQL Server as a workstation directly. I take it that SQL Desktop is what you run when you are using Developers Edition(?) Is that the same as MSDE? Although I've read a fair amount about MSDE and MDAC, it is still kinda nebulous to me. It's probably...

Chip, thanks for responding. I'm really fuzzy about this whole matter. Not being a programmer, there's a lot of areas that are probably "self-evident" to experienced SQL folks, but are unknown to me. I'm sorry to be so "clueless" on this subject. If I understand you...

Thank you all for your responses. JHall, I am a hardware/network/OS guy, not a programmer, so all this stuff is new info for me. The programmer who wants to work off the server said her reason was that she could build and manipulate the structures directly, and then simply copy it up the the...

I do network support for a web development firm who wants to setup a machine or machines to do MS SQL Server development on. The lead SQL programmer basically wants each programmer to have a box running W2K server and SQL Server 7 to use as their workstation. Cost aside, (a pretty BIG aside)...
