Here's the scenario NT4 domain, lots of user accounts but none in use (as far as we know) A handful of member servers. NDS4NT 2 installed Netware tree, again only a handful of 'member' servers, barely used We want to uninstall NDS4NT, so reading the docs it looks as straightforward as uninstalling it from the BDCs then the PDC, using the option to take all info from netware back into the SAM. However, what I can't figure out is IF the data is copied from the netware environment or if it's moved. I.e. If A user Jbloggs is created in the NT environment (and therefore with the wonders of NDS4NT a netware account is created) does this account disappear from netware once we uninstall NDS4NT ? I am hoping not because I want to mitigate any problems with any NT4-created accounts being used in Netware. Any comments appreciated (apart from 'ooh I haven't looked at that for years!' :-) Colin
What was created in NDS4NT will be lost when it is uninstalled. After all, that is the database that holds the information.

The tell me I can either return the NT domain to the state it was before the install (what you suggest) OR it can take all info FROM NDS and put it back in the SAM
