Are there any good articles comparing features/functions of a Workgroup compared to a Domain? I am trying to put something together for the Amahi project and so far my searches have been rather slim pickins.
You may want to read up on some of the Microsoft documentation. The fundamental difference is that with a domain, the user and computer accounts are centralized, not maintained separately on each computer. My experience is that once you get before 5 machines managing a workgroup gets impractical. -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces at lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Robert Moskowitz Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 9:17 PM To: samba at lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Workgroup compared to Domain Are there any good articles comparing features/functions of a Workgroup compared to a Domain?
