Move user/machine FROM domain TO workgroup
Hi.
I have a user that is decomissioning their old Windows 2000 server. The new machine will be a Windows 7 - NO DOMAIN!!
Is there an easy way or an easy tool that will migrate each user/client FROM the domain TO the workgroup WITHOUT having to lose the user profile settings (especially email!). They are NOT using Exchange - just POP mail and only using a simple shared drive.
Thanks!
Jim

USMT doesn't have the ability to change from domain to workgroup, as far as I know.
Interesting. I never would have considered it would be that easy.

Sorry about the last broken post....don't know what happened!
Any way, THE PROGRAM JUST WORKS!!!! :) :) :)
I purchased the program just to support the company. I **HIGHLY** recommend it to anyone who has to manage user profiles and moving from workgroups to domains, domains to workgroups, joining different domains, renaming users/profiles/workstation
Can you tell I'm a happy camper?? :)
