Destroying a Local Domain (Windows)

Use the Domain Account Manager to create and destroy a local domain, export and import a local domain, add and remove network domains, import a Lookout account, and manage domain users and groups.

Complete the following steps to use the Domain Account Manager to destroy a local domain. You must log in to the local domain before you can destroy it.

  1. Select Tools»Security»Domain Account Manager to display the Domain Account Manager.
  2. Click the local domain and select Domain»Destroy Local Domain or right-click the local domain and select Destroy Local Domain from the shortcut menu.
  3. When a dialog box prompts you to confirm that you want to destroy the domain, click the Yes button.
  4. Enter the password in the Enter Administrator Password dialog box and click the OK button.

If you cannot destroy a domain through the Domain Account Manager, such as if you do not have the password for the domain, you can delete the domain directly from the National Instruments/Shared/Domain directory. You must log on to the computer as an administrator to delete files from the National Instruments directory.
