May have bought the wrong OS. I got a new Poweredge with SBS2003 for the purpose of running Sql Server. It is currently running on Win2000. The network is a small workgroup - don't need a domain controller. Also don't need a dns server, an exchange server or any of the rest of the bells and whistles. If I try to demote the server to a standalone, it wants to shut down with an error - must be a domain controller.

 

What are my options? I need this machine to be on the same workgroup as some robotics that will be hitting the sql server. I dont' mind that it's a PDC if it will still work as I need it.

 

Any help appreciated.
