Guest Diane Walker Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 We have a Windows 2003 server. The server is running IIS. The server joined the workgroup. We would like to join this server to a different workgroup. Will anything affect IIS if we join this server to a different workgroup? Does it affect the server in anyway if we join this server to a different workgroup. Thanks. Diane
Guest Jeff Stockamp Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Re: Rejoin Server to a Different Workgroup Shouldn't harm anything as long as your talking about workgroups and not domains. You never really "join" a computer to a workgroup anyway, all accounts in a workgroup enivornment are local accounts. - Jeff "Diane Walker" <ett9300@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:%23AJTCM8JIHA.1164@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > We have a Windows 2003 server.

Note that a workgroup isn't anything other than a convenient way to organize/view stuff when you browse the network....it doesn't represent any sort of security barrier, etc., as does a domain.
