Set Default Account Domain

We have several Domains which are configured in our ldap.conf. By default WORKGROUP (which is not in ldap.conf) gets selected when we launch -> Security -> Audit -> User Audit. I believe this triggers a series of Error messages as below. And our users think there is an issue with app. Is there a way to set default domain in the drop down or can i do some other settings which would prevent this.

Error messages:

[subsearch]: External search command 'ldapsearch' returned error code 1.

[subsearch]: ERROR: java.lang.NullPointerException: null

External search command 'ldapsearch' returned error code 1.

ERROR: java.lang.NullPointerException: null

This is a known issue with the WORKGROUP domain and not something we can do much about. I recommend altering the search that you are using to explicitly not include WORKGROUP.
