REMOVING User Domain Accounts

[Larry H.]

I am currently running Win 2000 and have taken my
computer out of an office INTRANET and now wish to
ELIMINATE all of the newwork accounts and only have the
defaults. I am a novice at this, so I definitely need
some help.... Here is the Network Logon List from my
computer:
User Domain Group
Administrator STAT021 Administrator
Larry Hatley STAT021 Administrator
Guest STAT021 Guests
STAT021 Name Administrator

I wish to eliminate ALL the domain names or at least
change them to another name and/or password. . I am
paranoid that from the original office will be able to
access my computer as long as they still have a password
into one of these user accounts.

Please help if you can..
Thanks,
Larry Hatley

Are you hoping to keep the "Larry Hatley" account and all the settings? If
you don't mind losing it, then just log on as administrator ("this
computer"), delete all the users, and under my computer properties specify
that the computer is part of a workgroup, not a domain. Reboot and log on as
administrator, and add new accounts as needed.

Actually you'll still be able to recover most of the profile and settings
etc. from the "Larry Hatley" account. Post again if you'd want help with
that.
If you don't care to, then save space by deleting the unused profiles under
my computer properties.

Right Click "My Computer" and left-click "manage".
Expand the "+" by local users and groups>users. This
should show you a listing of all user accounts in the
right-hand pane. Simply click on the ones you wish to
delete to highlight them and hit the delete button on
your keyboard.

Domain accounts do not reside on the workstation. As long as your PC belongs
to the domain there is nothing you can do. You can remove the workstation
from the Domain, but you will not longer be able to login unless you create
a local account to login with. You must know the local administrator account
or your Domain user account must have local admin rights. If this is still a
company computer the IT department may take serious offense to jacking up
the computer.
