I wonder.... does anyone know what happens when you change the workgroup name of your computer?

(System > Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings (change) > computer name (change) > Workgroup


I jokingly changed it from "WORKGROUP" to "ADMINISTRATORS"
Then windows prompted me to restart my computer to let the new setting take place.

But I postponed it for fear of something bad happening.

You can change the workgroup name to anything you like :) as lonkg as you follow the normal rules about certain symbols not being allowed.

The workgroup is used with the older Microsoft networking technology so is more important if you have xp or earlier systems on your network.

Also some other devices such as printers and drive arrays still only work when the workgroup name is the same on all systems

As an aside XP home used to use o default workgroup name of MSHOME so if you have mixed systems at least one default would have to be changed

The operation is tomorrow at 2:00pm, so we are leaving home at noon.

I went to my Jobsearch Person and he is going hopefully put me on a I.T. course, I am going to see someone on this Friday morning. Hastings Pier has burnt down, pics later hopefully.

Dad's skin cancer operation is tomorrow, I will give you the time later.

Shame about Hastings pier. I spent many happy hours hanging about at the pier as a boy. Also piers all over the country keep burning down or just falling down from neglect.
Good luck getting on the I.T. course and of course good luck to your dad for tomorrow.

Good luck to you ,your Father and family tomorrow Love Windows 7 Hope everything turns out for the best :)

It's also probably not a very good idea to use this as a name for anything in, or around W_7.

"ADMINISTRATORS"

good luck for tomorrow LW7 .

:)

Hope everything goes well for your Father tomorrow LW7.
