I have one WinNT4 server as PDC for a domain. The domain is to be
obsolted and no other member server or domain ws and user.

I would like to config this NT4 server down to workgroup server. I find
tthere are a setting in control panel for doing this. But what is the
major consequence after down to workgroup server? Will it cause any
other trouble?

Please advise

Unfortunately you cannot demote an NT4 PDC to a member server. .. You will
have to reinstall the Server and select member server during the setup

The only way to do this, other than re-installing the server, is to use
UPromote.
