How to remove Active Directory on a single server

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

The user object along with the rest of the AD data is kept in a different
data store than would be if you moved to a workgroup scenario. You would
lose all user/group definitions and have to start over.

This should output all user objects:
ldifde -f output.txt -r "(objectClass=User)" -l
"cn,givenName,Title,SamAccountName"
-or- net user /domain

If you are running 2003 you can print all gpo's via the gpo management
console
