turn off file and print sharing if part off a domain

I want to check on the file and print sharing for a computer (to see if I
need to turn it off) but the network setup wizard will not run because the
computer belongs to a domain

How can I check to see if file and print sharing is configured and turn it
off if possible?

I would not advise that anyway.

Three possible approaches:

Set the firewall to not allow this as an excepton.

Stop the Server service.

Unbind (untick) File and Printer Sharing in the LAN card's properties.

None of these should prevent the computer from accessing server shares,
though they might prevent it from browsing the network for peer shares.
