Deciding on a domain or workgroup configuration
About this section
You can install the filer into a Windows NT domain or Windows workgroup. Use the information in this section to help you decide which to choose.
Caution: It is difficult to change this decision after you run setup.
<gulp> Okay, I do want to change (from a workgroup to a domain). How difficult is "difficult"? If we're talking about gunning/modifying a few files from the filer etc directory, this is not difficult, coming from the CLI UNIX world. I hope this warning was just placed there for NT folks who use the GUI's. This FAQ doesn't quite expound on the "difficult" part above.
