How do I change workgroup membership in command window?
Hi:
How do I change workgroup membership of a workstation from a command
window? (not via GUI or manual changes). Say from the default
installation WORKGROUP to WG002. I can't figure out the "net use"
command to do it, and haven't been able to locate a single source that
simply addresses this one issue.

Re: How do I change workgroup membership in command window?
Jack:
(mispostd just now)
The problem is that the local Windows XP workstation is a member of
workgroup WORKGROUP whereas every other workstation ont eh LAN is
member of workgroup WG002.
As a result, when I "net view" from the local workstation I get
"System error 6118" and can't see any of the other workstations, and I
can't even browse to find out what the other groups are on the LAN.
I know I can simply change the name from WORKGROUP to WG02, but I want
to do it programmatically from a cmd file. The net group command
addresses groups of user accounts on my local XP workstation, not the
workgroup names on the LAN.
