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.
- Select Tools»Security»Domain Account Manager to display the Domain Account Manager.
- 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.
- When a dialog box prompts you to confirm that you want to destroy the domain, click the Yes button.
- 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.
