How to Eliminate Global Server Preferences

Run nisprefadm with the -G and -x options.

#nisprefadm -G -x

Client machines that do not have local server preferences will obtain NIS+ information as described in Default Client Search Behavior.
Client machines that do have local server preferences set by a local /var/nis/client_info file will continue to use servers as specified in that file.
