Unable to Manage Users since aborted attempt to join Domain

Since failing to join my Vista Business system to a Windows SBS Domain I am
unable to manage other users or create new user accounts. I get no error
messages just a failure of anything happening. Would prefer not to reinstall
any ideas?

Re: Unable to Manage Users since aborted attempt to join Domain

Hello,

what does Right-click Computer -> Properties -> on the left: Advanced system
settings -> tab "Computer name" -> Workgroup say?
Try if it works again if you click "Network ID..." and follow the wizard.

Greetings,
P. Di Stolfo

Re: Unable to Manage Users since aborted attempt to join Domain

Many thanks for your response. The settings show the correct Workgroup. Have
applied a number of patches to the SBS and now have successfully connected to
the domain but when I revert to the Workgroup still unable to manage users. I
now get a known compatability problem message so will be applying patches and
see if that resolves the issue, will post when done.
