I installed 2000 SBServer and it is set up as a workgroup
and I need it to be the domain controller. I don't think
it gave me that option during setup (possibly because it
could not find the NIC - bad driver). Anyway, can I
make it a domain contoller or do I have to reinstall???
HELP.

Best bet here is a clean install
If this is your first SBS its always good to do 2 or 3 times anyway

Did you followed the integrated setup? Disk 1 will install Win2k OS.... =
but the subsequent disks will configure AD, DNS, Exchange, ISA...and so =
on.=20

Sounds like you stopped at disk one. Can you see the SBS admin console?
