Hi I am wondering if it is possible to convert domain user profiles to local profiles? I have come across a small business with a suspected pirate version of Windows 2003 acting as their authentication server. The managing director wants it off immediately and to be honest it is overkill for their purposes anyway. I am planning on turning the network into a plain old peer-to-peer setup with purely XP clients. How do I speedily convert the existing domain profiles to local profiles so that I don't have to go moving files and re-installing applications?

From what I know, it is not possible to convert a domain profile to a local profile. Image this, You are pouring out water from a 1L cup into a 500ml cup. What will happen? The extra 500ml water will not be in the 500ml cup and lost. This is how my teacher explained to me, and I hope you understand because I don't!! T_T

It can be done, but not "speedily." How many users do you have?

Jennifer is correct. It can be done. There is to wizard to go from domain to local as there is on the 2000 moveuser.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
