I am tasked with replacing an old Windows Server (SBS 2008) with a Synology NAS for file sharing and a new router for DHCP etc. We have several computers that are tied to the domain and log in as domain users.
I need to convert the 3-4 domain users on each computer into local users so they can be freed from the server. I will sync the user folders to the NAS using Synology's sync software. I am not experienced with servers and domain users and I am a bit trepidatious about this process. Someone pointed me to ForensIT software, gave it rave reviews. My Questions: 1) What happens to the domain user account/data when you run this software - is it "converted" to a local account, or is a COPY made of it as a local user? 2) Should the computer be removed from the domain before running the software, or does it not matter? 3) What else do I need to know about this process? Is there any danger that user data, applications, passwords/settings, etc will be lost or damaged? Thank you, my apologies for being such a bonehead about this.
