Windows Active Directory

How do you remove a client computer from active directory so it can be used as a standalone machine without having to reformat?

In the client's System settings, move it from the domain back to a workgroup - just make up a workgroup name. By default you shouldn't even need a password to do it.

sweet thanks for that

yeah just change it from domain to workgroup.

probably a good idea to check you've got local admin rights too, the admin account is sometimes disabled as part of the domain policy.
