Hi Brock,
Some of the systems may be upgrades and some may be clean installs. Or there may have
been some other issues. On a machine where the netork id tab is greyed out, try this:
Go to the NETWORK PROPERTIES of the adapter
Uncheck and Uninstall all the SERVICES and PROTOCOLS (Client for Microsoft
Servers, TCP/IP Etc.)
Restart
Re-check and re-install the SERVICES and PROTOCOLS
The "NETWORK ID"/DOMIAN-WORKGROUP->"CHANGE" and the Tabs should now work.
Hope this helps,
Gary
