Re: Howto change the workgroup

I thought there might be a WMI solution, but
Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration doesn't seem to yield a solution. You
might want to try asking the Visual Studio NG.

Thank you for your answer. But what I need, is something different:

My image runs from CF-Card with a custom shell and is write protected by
EWF. The user does not have access to the control panel, because I don't
want
that he accidentally misconfigures the whole system. The user can only
configure some few things like network settings. So I build my own
configuration dialogs e.g. one for configuring the network settings like
IP-Adress, DNS etc. The IP-settings I set with 'netsh', the computer-name
I
set with Win32-API call 'SetComputerName'. But unfortunately there is no
API
call like 'SetWorkgroupName'. So I'am looking for a solution to set the
workgroup at runtime from within my own configuration dialog.

you can change it when you build xpe image, go to whatever pc component
you use(ie, standard pc, ACPI uniprocessor pc etc, ) click on setting,
then system identification, you can change there.

Hello,

I want to modify the workgroup, which the computer joins when it starts
up.
But I don't want to use the GUI for this purpose, instead I want to
change
the workgroup programmatically e.g. with a script or a Win-API call or
something like this. Does anybody know how to do this?

Any hints are welcome,
Klaus
