Domain and workgroup

[Guest]

Hi,
I have a network of 10 PCs under a domain name and the server is the domain
controller.
All connections are fine but when I browse ALL NETWORK CONNECTIONS, I see a
workgroup and the domain.
I am not sure why that WG is showing but how to permanently remove it?

Thanks
Yba

Someone plug in a non-domain laptop/PC recently?
Can you explore/browse the workgroup?
What's your network setup - do you have a firewall in place? Sharing
office/network space with anyone else?

Well, I'm not sure but I think that one of two cases could have happened:
1 - The server itself was, mistakenly, set as a workgroup member. It was
then changed to the domain controller, OR,
2 - Some clients were set as workgroup members when they were first
physically connected to the server.

I hope this signifies something.

Both, either, none, are possibilities. The workgroup should disappear soon
if there's nothing in it.
