How do I change workgroup membership in command window?

Hi:

How do I change workgroup membership of a workstation from a command
window? (not via GUI or manual changes). Say from the default
installation WORKGROUP to WG002. I can't figure out the "net use"
command to do it, and haven't been able to locate a single source that
simply addresses this one issue.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Jack:

Unless I misunderstand the purpose of the net localgroup command, it
is not what I'm referring to.

The problem here is that the local workstation is part of group
WORKSTATION

(mispostd just now)

The problem is that the local Windows XP workstation is a member of
workgroup WORKGROUP whereas every other workstation ont eh LAN is
member of workgroup WG002.

As a result, when I "net view" from the local workstation I get
"System error 6118" and can't see any of the other workstations, and I
can't even browse to find out what the other groups are on the LAN.

I know I can simply change the name from WORKGROUP to WG02, but I want
to do it programmatically from a cmd file. The net group command
addresses groups of user accounts on my local XP workstation, not the
workgroup names on the LAN.

Anybody have any ideas about how to do this? TIA
