HOWTO: Changing SMB Workgroup in Mac OS X

27/01/2010

For a freshly installed issue of OS X, this machine will sit on the samba network @ ‘workgroup’. What if you have a whole other network on a different name? Simple fix. Open up the Directory Access utility.

Click on the padlock icon and authorize with an admin account. Then click on SMB and configure and define what you want for the workgroup name and hit ‘OK’. All done!

About

For the past couple years I lived in the UK, reading in BEng (Hons) Electronic and Computer Engineering at The University of Leeds and MSc (Dist) Mechatronics at King's College London.

My interests and hobbies include writing with Fountain Pens on various ink and paper, Swiss and German wristwatches, authoring articles in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering, and Gundam modeling.

I have been following much Anime over the years as well as TV Shows with the likes of 24, Smallville, Dexter, and NCIS becoming favourites.
