Deleting a Work group from a domain

Help!!!

I have a domain and a work group, the work group is an exact copy of the domain...may cause confusion to users when looking in the directory to see the domain and the workgroup available...how do I remove the workgroup without affecting the domain?

thanks

In order for you to delete the workgroup, you can't have any of the machines "off" the domain.

Once you add a workstation to a domain, it stops belonging to a workgroup (of course).

If your PC's see other PC's belonging to a workgroup, that means there is a machine somewhere that is plugged into your LAN and is NOT part of the domain.

So make sure all of the PC's on the network are members of the domain.

Thanks for the timely reply!!

You are right!! I do have a computer that is still not in the domain..I will take care of that.

Thanks again,
