Dear all,

We have five number of Windows 7 processional workstations in our Organization. Now company decided to replace these workstations to windows 8 professional. My questions is these five new windows 8 workstations are in work group.  I will add these machines to the existing domain,after adding these machines to the domain can I get the same settings like earlier or I will do any changes in active directory.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

I take it you are using group policy settings? You should be able to add the computers back in there and the settings should apply.
