Are there any security concerns one should be aware of if you're using Windows' default workgroup as the workgroup? (Or is worrying just tinfoiling?)
Should it be commonplace to rename the workgroup to something personal/unique after Windows installation?
Are there any other benefits in renaming the workgroup from the default besides making it to look more describing? Ie. is renaming worth the hassle as it makes the workgroup generally less accessible? It is used in local area network after all.
2Nicely summerized. I want to highlight "You should protect your shares (whenever appropriate) with passwords." - always a good idea! – edusysadmin – 2011-02-27T14:40:50.307
1@edusysadmin: thanks. I added "whenever appropriate", because it's not always - sometimes you really want to share files without passwords (but probably as a read-only share, but still). – Olli – 2011-02-27T14:46:23.150
