Change workgroup to domain..

[mgonzalez]

Hello


I am a new administrator of Windows NT and I have a question about domains.When I installed it I wanted put my server like a domain whith de name of bas( this have a arrange of disks) but I couldn´t because when the system asked me about the name,this told me that doesn't exist the domain(really a doesnt't understood this) so I had to define it like a workgroup.I have undersood that whith this type of configuration all user can modify the server and I donn't want this so I want know if there is a any way to change a workgroup to a domain to my users can log in this or I have to installl NT again?


Thanks

You have to reinstall to chnge a member server into a Domain controller, altho I did hear of some software that could change a server type, but as far as MS are concerned you have to reinstall.

Yup. You need to reinstall NT on your server as a PDC. Name the domain you wish to use. Then have the other computers join that domain.

Hello

Thanks for you answer but sorry then a I have to set the server like PDC(and not like independent server) for I can get a domain? Is necesary set it like PDC for get a domain and my users can be added?

Thanks
