Subject: unjoining a domain- revision level unkno |
Comment: When trying to change my Win 2K Pro machine from a domain to a workgroup, I get an error "The following error occurred attempting to unjoin the domain... The revision level is unknown." The old domain doesn't exist any longer. I'm logged onto the computer as local admin. Is there anyway around this error msg? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Reply: Thanks. I'm not a NT/Win2K administrator, but I guess the domain admin is an account that has some sort of rights to the whole domain. If so, I don't have this uid/password. The only access I have is local admin. Is there a way around this problem without the domain admin account. Thanks again.

Reply: Here's my answer. Delete the HKLM\SECURITY\Policy\Secrets\$MACHINE.ACC registry key. Use Regedt32, change the permissions to be able to view it. Now unjoin the domain and rejoin it. Good Luck Vance
