Retaining NTFS Permissions on Files Once System Is Removed From Domain ca2indy[ at ]gmail.com 12/27/2008 1:03:22 AM MarkPL[ at ]nospam.nospam I have a DC that I'll be demoting and repromoting. In the event that it is not a graceful demotion and it needs to go into a workgroup, will it retain the NTFS permissions from the Domain or will I need to restore them from a backup via BackupExec with the option to only restore security on the files? Thanks, Mark

If you change it form domain to workgroup you will loose all domain permissions. So why do you need the workgroup when demoting it?
