I am wondering if there is a way of renaming a win2000 pc that is not part
of a domain. I have found a way for win2000 domain pc's, but have been
searching for a week for win2000 workgroup pc's.

Thanks In Advance,
Dave Marden

Although you don't say so, I assume you're still looking
for a script-based solution, same as in your first post in
this newsgroup. If so then you should have a look at your
multi-posted question in the vbscript group. Trevor Sullivan
gave you an answer there.

It would also be a good idea to post the solution you found
for domain PCs.
 
I responded to his posting Pegasus, but the method (Win32_ComputerSystem)
will not work with Win2000. I have already posted additional information on
the other posts that I have done.

This Is for Clarification.

I've been searching diligently for a way to rename a win2000 pc which is
not part of my domain for a week so far but to no avail. I work for GM and
we have several area pc's which are not part of the domain as per EDS/GM
guidelines. I am trying to create a way without using a domain to create a
script which will setup all of our computer specific settings, such as
Shares, Workgroup Name, IP address, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, Process
Specific Backup Restore, Scheduled Tasks, etc., etc.

The only piece of this puzzle I can't solve is the computer name. WinXP
I know you can use Win32_ComputerSystem.Rename, and Win2000 Domain PC you
can use NETDOM, but I can find nothing for Win2000 Workgroup PC.
