What are the difference between DOMAIN and WORKGROUP ?

Computers on a network can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between workgroups and domains is how resources on the network are managed. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on workplace networks are usually part of a domain.

• 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 subnet.

• 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.

Computers on a network can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between workgroups and domains is how resources on the network are managed. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on workplace networks are usually part of a domain.

Domains and workgroups represent different methods for organizing computers in networks. The main difference among them is how the computers and other resources on the networks are managed.

Features of WorkGroup:

• All computers are peers; no computer has control over another computer.
• Each computer has a set of user accounts. To log on to any computer in the workgroup, you must have an account on that computer.
• There are typically no more than twenty computers.
• A workgroup is not protected by a password.
• All computers must be on the same local network or subnet.

Features of 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. Domain users must provide a password or other credentials each time they access the domain.
• 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.
• You probably can make only limited changes to a computer’s settings because network administrators often want to ensure consistency among computers.
• There can be thousands of computers in a domain.
• The computers can be on different local networks.

Domain : 

             1. centralized Administrator

             2. For data security

WORKGROUP :

                    1. No Centralized Administrative

                   2. No data security

Domain:

1) Centralized Administration.2) Security of Data, User & Groups3)Server & Clients Based4)Windows & Server or Advance Support For Server Configuration5)File, Folder & User & Group Permission we can assign.

WORKGROUP:

1)No Centralized Admiistration.2)Not much security for Data, User & Groups. (Depends on Configuration)3)No Server & Client Matter..Each pc reacts like a Client as well as Server.4)Basically Windows & XP is going to used in Clients side.5)We can assign permission to drives & folder & files but much secuirty than Domain

Domains, workgroups, and homegroups represent different methods for organizing computers in networks. The main difference among them is how the computers and other resources on the networks are managed.

Computers running Windows on a network must be part of a workgroup or a domain. Computers running Windows on home networks can also be part of a homegroup, but it's not required.

Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup and possibly a homegroup, and computers on workplace networks are usually part of a domain.
