What's the Key to change the workgroup name of a windows 2000 pro machine?
Hi
I'm afraid it is not defined in a registry value.
For a script solution:
For WinXP, you can use the JoinDomainOrWorkgroup method of the
Win32_ComputerSystem class (more in the article listed below).
For NT4/Win2k and WinXP, you can use Netdom.exe v1.8 to change workgroup, see
section "Command line, join workgroup" here:

Some notes:
Netdom.exe needs to be run with an account that is member (directly or
indirectly) of the Administrators group on the local computer
The server service needs to be available and not disabled or removed for
netdom to work (at least when you want to join a domain, workgroup I
don't know), see this thread for more info about this:
