There's the rub -- *I* am the sysadmin. I was trying to get a feel for what
it would take to migrate from a workgroup to domain network between my
desktop and a new SBS server.
So after playing around, my final intention was to put everything back the
way it was on my PC, in workgroup mode. It looks like it got half way there.
When my XP box is rebooted I can see its shared drives from the old
workgroup, but I can't log into the PC directly. I didn't originally have a
password on the box (it's only a week old), but did on the domain install.
What keeps coming up as the user name on the client is the one I set during
domain setup, not what it was when it was in the workgroup.
I should also add that I deleted my account on the SBS box before I started
this, and when I try to re-add it, it says my machine name already exists.
Thanks for your help!

Disjoining the domain destroyed the client/ domain trust. You'll need to
physically reconnect to the domain and rejoin it to the domain. You can
logon locally with any valid local account. The cached domain account
information is no longer available. Ask the systems administrator to rejoin
the pc back to the domain.
