Hi

For pre-WinXP OS (and WinXP as well), you can use Netdom.exe v1.8 to change
workgroup:

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:
