They are like XP Home edition which can just join workgroups and not domains.


What is diffrnce Workgroup and Domain?

a workgroup is the name for a group of computers in a network environment. Under windows this is a name you can choose yourself for each computer. The computers who have the same workgroup name can easily exchange information through the network. A workgroup does not require a central server. a domain is basically an advanced workgroup where every computer & user requires authentication (login/pass for instance), maintained by a central server(s). workgroups are generally used in residential houses (for ex. to exchange data between 2 PCs), whereas domains are generally used in companies.


How do you create a workgroup through a switch that has several computers and a server on it?

Create a workgroup in TCP/IPIf you log in through the server, then the workgroup is set up on the server and each computer joins via the "system properties/join a domain" buttons. If you do not log in through the server then just create a workgroup through the same process as above. The switch might have a setting to set a workgroup name as well, especially if it is being used as a TCP/IP DHCP server.

What are the advantages of a domain over a workgroup?

In a Workgroup:All computers are peers; no computer has control over another computer.Each computer has a set of user accounts. To use any computer in the workgroup, you must have an account on that computer.There are typically no more than ten to twenty computers.All computers must be on the same local network or subnetwork.In a Domain:One or more computers are servers. Network administrators use servers to control the security and permissions for all computers on the domain. This makes it easy to make changes because the changes are automatically made to all computers.If you have a user account on the domain, you can log on to any computer on the domain without needing an account on that computer.There can be hundreds or thousands of computers.The computers can be on different local networks.

How do you find work group domain for macs?

A WorkGroup and a Domain are not the same things. Assuming you want to join an existing Windows based WorkGroup/Domain select Network from the Finder/Desktop Go menu. This will open a Finder window which will show, after a minute or two, available networks to join. If this does not help try Connect To Server from the Finder/Desktop GO menu and entering... smb://DOMAIN;User@ServerName/ShareName ...as the Server Address. The Apple support page (See links below) may offer further help.
