This document defines a "workgroup" as it relates to Windows File Sharing.
Mac OS X 10.2 includes Windows File Sharing. As part of its operation, it can specify a workgroup. A workgroup is to Windows File Sharing what an AppleTalk zone is to AppleTalk. It is a way network administrators can group related computers into smaller subgroups with meaningful names.
For example, all computers in the Sales department could have a workgroup of "Sales". All of the computers in the sixth grade classrooms could have a workgroup of "Sixth".
The default workgroup name is "WORKGROUP".
To change default workgroup that the server uses, use the Directory Access utility. See technical document 107137, "Mac OS X 10.2: How to Change the Windows File Sharing Workgroup".
