Message: [QUOTE="James Curran, post: 11238393"] I have Active Directory running on my tiny network at home. I'm considering removing it, since I'm not (I don't think) using any feature of it (*), and Home Server doesn't get along with it. I know the mechanics of it (running dcpromo.exe), but I'm worried about the affect. (*) Now the only feature that I am using that is tied to AD are domain account. In fact, as far as I know, "Administrator" is the local account on any of the PCs. Most of my documents and settings are under a domain account on one machine, and I'd hate to lose access to them (the documents I think I can deal with, but the idea of re- installing dozens of applications just to regain registry entries sound like a nightmare.) What happens to these domain accounts? Also, I'm using the DNS, WINS, DHCP and Routing services. What happens to these once AD is removed? [/QUOTE]
