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.
Have to remember all the system name, and there is no centralaized management.
work Group: collection of computers connecting together without server is called work Group.
Domain: Collection of Computers Connecting together with server and users is called Domain.
more tech involved with a domain. a workgroup is simple
a network/workgroup
the main reason behind that is we can control sharing resources in domain,and as well as as we can use more no.of systems than in workgroup,and we can provide user permissinons in domain.
yes
Configuring a workgroup is easy - give the workgroup and name and use that name in the workgroup section for the computer identification. The other choice is for a client-server (domain) based network. Therefore you only have two choices for computer identification; either as a workgroup or as a domain (client/server).
A workgroup
False
All that I have found so far involves making the PC leave the domain by joining a workgroup, then rejoining the domain.
join the client to workgroup and restart the PC. it will be out of domain. But you require proper admin rights to do so.
A workgroup is 10 PCs or less, used for home or small business, each computer works independent, there is no centralized control of resources. A Domain is more than 10 computers, Microsoft recommends that you use a domain controller running a network operating system such a Windows Server 2003 to control network resources. or a domain provides centralized control
No. A Domain uses a Client/Server networking Model. A Workgroup uses a peer-to-peer networking model.
Windows 98 machines don't join a domain - they are just able to browse it. You only have a choice to change the workgroup name on a Win98 machine - you make the workgroup name the same as the domain name and they can browse the network resources and map drives to them. They are like XP Home edition which can just join workgroups and not domains.
