    Restoring from a Local Server to a Domain Controller

    Hello -

    I had Sharepoint 2007 running in a standalone workgroup. I decided to use Active Directory to help simplify some of our corporate overhead. So I took a backup of the Sharepoint from Central Administration and wiped the machine. I re-built it as a Windows 2003 R2 64-bit Server. I installed Active Directory and configured it. I then installed Sharepoint properly and restored my backup without any problems, except for this biggie....

    When I log into the server, it is looking for the old users that do not exist anymore (ie: LOCAL\administrator). When I log in I'm logging as DOMAIN\administrator. So, my question is, can I add my new domain users somehow without having access directly to the web application? Is there a way to add users or change permission from the Central Administration tool, or maybe command line? If I just had one account to have access to the web application, then I could change everything else....

    Thanks!
