Change WORKGROUP name using PowerShel

Tue May 05, 2015 5:53 am

Any idea's how I can change the WORKGROUP name of the IoT Rasp2? Commands in use for eg Server2012 are not recognised. I want to map folders on the IoT Rasp2 in the network so i can access them over the network. Any idea's?
Thanks, Pierre

Have you tried just connecting to your Rpi2 using net use \\systemname or \\IP Address?

net use X: \\10.125.148.238\C$ /User:10.125.148.238\administrator

Alternatively you can also manage / upload .appx files to the devices by using the web portal:
http://IP Address

Or you can also connect to the system using an FTP client to move files to / from your desktop.

As for changing the actual 'workgroup' I don't know of a command on the device that will do that for you. The reg command exists, so if you were able to locate where the workgroup value is stored you could change it then.
