Server Admin 10.4 Help

Changing the Sever's Windows Workgroup

Using Server Admin, you can change the workgroup name of a server that provides only standalone Windows services (file, print, browsing, or WINS). Windows users see the workgroup name in the My Network Places window of Windows XP and 2000 (the Network Neighborhood window of Windows 95, 98, or ME). If you have Windows domains on your subnet, use one of them as the workgroup name to make it easier for clients to communicate across subnets. Otherwise, consult your Windows network administrator for the correct name.

1. In Server Admin's Computers & Services list, select Windows for the server whose Windows domain you want to change.
2. Click Settings (near the bottom of the window), then click General (near the top).
3. Type a name in the Workgroup field, then click Save.

You can also change the Windows workgroup name using the 'serveradmin' command in Terminal. For more information, see the file services chapter of the command-line administration guide.
