Netdom.exe
You can use the Netdom.exe command-line tool to join a computer to a domain
or to manage a computer account. .The /JOINDOMAIN option joins a computer to
a domain.
..The /JOINWORKGROUP option joins a computer to a workgroup.
..The /RENAME option renames the computer on the domain.

Apart from that, you can create a WMI script to accomplish this task.

I have use netdom.exe, but i don't know how i can change workgroup. I have
read documentation on microsoft but doesn't works:

netdom.exe RENAMEMACHINE .......... works but it need machine woks on a
domain and my machine works on a workgroup.
netdom.exe MEMBER /JOINWORKGROUP myworkgroup doesn't works because netdom
command doesn't understand "MEMBER". I use the last version of support
tools.

Any idea ?
