Differences - "Network ID" wizard and "Change..." in joining domain

Anyone know of the difference if any in using the "Network ID" wizard under
"Control Panel/System/Computer Name" to join or leave a domain and using
"Change...." to change from domain to workgroup?

The "Network ID" wizard asks you if you are a home user or business user and
whether there is a domain or not.

Does the wizard do anything different than just using the simple "Change..."
interface. I have a tech that uses one over the other and I wonder if they
both do the same thing in the end... Any other changes that it makes that I
should know of?

Thanks,
TR

Hi
If you know how to configure manually it is always better than any Wizard.

I agree, I just wondered if the wizard is doing anything extra that the user
wouldn't know about since it's asking questions about home network, etc.

Hi
Yeah it does extra. Many users that keep using again and again the Wizard
cause they can not make it work, end up with a lot of extra entries in the
Registry until eventually there is No way to configure without refreshing
the whole network setting or reinstall Windows.
