XP Pro Domain removal

[Bryan]

When you joined the pc to a work group, the username and
password it was asking for was not of the domain, but
rather of an approved user account on the local machine,
ie Administrator. But if it said welcome to XX Workgroup
then it sucessfully left the domain and added to the
workgroup. Any user that was added to the machine that
was part of the domain will not be able to logon as they
need to authenticate through the domain. You should see
a guid as the username (long sting of number and
letters). Most PCs if added to a domain do not usually
have local users added to them, except helpdesk type
accounts. Any local user ie. Administrator should be
able to logon to the machine. How are you able to tell
that the accounts are disabled if you can't logon to the
machine?

The message received during the changing from domain to
workgroup was to enter an approved username from the
Domain that was being left, just as when 2K asks so it can
remove info from Active Dir. The difference is W2K warns
that the account has not been removed from the domain at
the DC and to contact your admin... No such warnings
occurred, and no warning of user account issues appeared.

The SAM is being looked at through a UNIX boot disk. Thus
the info on the accounts' status.
