Thanks for the response.<br />
<br />
So hstiles, are you saying then that I'll need a new copy of Server 2K? I don't have the CD anyway, as I was only shipped the box.<br />
<br />
Jconley - actually it was only the local domain that was there - it was actually a password problem.<br />
<br />
I'll break this up, which I prob. should have done in the first place. - 150 points to Jconley for the response. Repost another 150 for the language question.<br />

2 part question:<br />
<br />
Have a W2K server transferred from a German office, install is in German.<br />
<br />
1) I have Admin password, but it's looking for the previous domain. How do I get it on my domain? All the more difficult because everything's in German, which leads to the next question...<br />
<br />
2) What would be necessary to change the OS to English, besides having to do a full reinstall?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

W2K Server-Domains and Language

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
