How to Change a Network Domain

A network domain is a group of computers connected by a central database, which controls user accounts, permissions and network security. Members of a domain can share resources with one another even if their computers are not in close proximity.

If you add a new computer to your network, or if you are moving a workstation from one network to another, you will need to change your network domain name.
