If you switch to a new Active Directory and select 

, the DNS suffix is updated to 

match the new Active Directory domain that you are 
joining. For example, suppose your current DNS suffix 
is MyMachine, and you join a new Active Directory 
domain called example.microsoft.com. The new DNS 
suffix, (example.microsoft.com), is displayed under 
the Primary DNS suffix of this computer, replacing the 
DNS suffix (MyMachine) previously created for 
membership under the old domain. 
If your computer belongs to a group with a group 
policy enabled on the primary DNS suffix of the 
DataSafe NAS, the string specified in the group policy 
is used as the primary DNS suffix. The local setting is 
used only if a group policy is disabled or unspecified.
Including hyphens and periods, a DNS suffix may 
contain up to 155 characters.

A workgroup is a simple grouping of computers, 
intended only to help users find such things as 
printers and shared folders within that group. 
Workgroups in Microsoft Windows 2000 do not offer 
the centralized user accounts and authentication 
offered by domains.
