We set up a windows nt 4 web server years ago as a domain controller,
not knowing any better. We have since learned that a web server should
not be a domain controller due to increased security risk and
performance issues.
We recently upgraded the server to windows 2000. Now each time we log
into the console, dcpromo runs and invites us to setup active
directory. We have been hitting cancel while deciding how to proceed.
We want to get the web server to stand-alone status. Should we let
dcpromo setup active directory then remove it or should we immediately
run dcpromo with the /forceremoval switch?
Thanks in advance.
