You cannot use a workgroup name as domain name for a logon.
Either use the computername, or leave it blank.

The logon domain determines who authenticates the logon: either a domain
controller (domain name specified), or the local machine (computername).

In a workgroup there is no domain controller, so you can only specify the
local machine.
