What are the advantages of a domain over a workgroup?

In: Local Area Network [Edit categories]

Answer:

A domain provides user and group-based security, centralized management of network resources and is physically irrelevant (can be contained in one room or span international borders).

The advantages of Domain model over a workgroup model are:

1. Here ( domain model) we have a centralised administration.
2. Lot of security- which is not there in Workgroup since anyone with the knowledge of credentials of a particular machine can access its resources.
3. lot of scalability
3.lot of extensibility
4. Single sign on
