I need to reinstall Windows 2000 Server in a machine that has W2000 Server running as a domain controller. Operating system is installed in partition C. I have a D partition with data in it, and most important, NTFS permissions configured in every folder. Those permissions reference to domain accounts and groups.<br />
<br />
The goal is to keep the permissions for the D partition.<br />
<br />
I plan to do the following:<br />
<br />
- dcpromo to unistall active directory. No problem with this, i have some more DC's in the domain. The server does not hold any of the operation masters.<br />
<br />
- format partition C, and reinstall windows 2000 server.<br />
<br />
- add the server to the domain and leave it as a member server.<br />
<br />
THE QUESTION IS:<br />
<br />
will the permissions for the D partition still be there, referencing domain account and groups ?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Windows 2000 NTFS Permissions

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.
