Hi,
I need a script that will remove the current pc from a NT domain and put it into a workgroup.

Is there anything out there that will do this?

The OS is 2K.

Well the version you would want is 5 or newer and there are lots of code examples on this board.

Does NETDOM have to be run from the domain controller, or can it be run on the PC you are trying to remove from the domain?

You run it at the computer the script is running on which does not have to be the computer being removed.

Can it be on the computer I am trying to remove?

I tired to use the following command, but it didn`t work.

netdom remove /d:mydomain mywksta /ud:mydomain\admin /pd:password

I have only used it from an admin script where the client PCs were not the ones running the script.

That said, I know there have been several scripts posted that use NETDOM to join the computer running the script to a domain so I'm pretty sure the inverse should be possible.

Thank you very much.

When I ran the command, I received a can`t find entry point error..

Any idea why this might appear?

You're probably running a version of NETDOM which is intended for a different operating system.

For example you are running a Windows 2000 or higher version of NETDOM on an NT workstation.

The error is caused because the supporting DLLs or APIs are not available on your operating system

I used the exact version and commands as the last post from NTDOC suggested.

But that is only supported on XP/2003 if you run it on 2000 it's not supported. There is a version for 2000 but I don't know if it supports the remove or not.

I can check on it tomorrow night.

The version I used to rename all my W2K machines is 5.2.3687.0 (dnsrv.020927-1754). It came in the forestrecovery.exe from MS.

The one I referenced will work AGAINST any version NT4/2000/XP/2003/(Vista I'm sure) but it just won't run on 2000 desktop, thus if you're trying to do it FROM a 2000 desktop then you will need the version mentioned by Les.

Not sure why you can't run it remotely though.

I think he is running a suicide script.
