When configuring a local network, you need to enter a parameter such as "computer workgroup". However, in the future, some users need to change these parameters, or simply delete. In this regard, the question arises: "How can I remove a computer from a workgroup"?
Necessary
- - computer;
- - administrator rights.
Instructions
Step 1
Despite all the difficulties, this problem can be solved with a few simple steps on the computer. On the desktop of your personal computer, click on the shortcut titled "My Computer". Then right-click in the middle of the open window and select "Properties". This menu reflects all the parameters and settings of the operating system.
Step 2
Now select "Computer Name". Below the name there will be a tab in which the current computer group is written. To change or delete a workgroup of a computer, click the "Change" button. If you need to completely delete a record, then leave the input field empty and click on the "Save" button. However, it's worth noting that the default workgroup can be left under the name GROUP.
Step 3
Try not to touch the computer name that is written there. You can also check at any time which group your computer is in, and which files are open for public use on the local network. To do this, go to the "Network Neighborhood" menu. Next, click the "Show computers in a workgroup" button. If you are not in any of the joint open groups, then the system will simply give an error.
Step 4
In general, we can say that deleting a workgroup on a personal computer does not take much time. Try to make the most optimal name for the workgroup of the computer so that you do not have to change it later. In the Windows operating system, the WORKGROUP is always the default. That is, we can assume that on many computers the groups coincide, and therefore additional system configuration is not always necessary.
