Domains
Domains are collections of computers grouped for management purposes; they
share a group name. Domains let users’ access resources using a single logon.
Administrators don’t have to create multiple user accounts for a single user to
give that user access to all domain resources.
From a security perspective, a domain is a set or
collection of computers that share a common security database and a common
security policy. NT domains advance the concepts seen in LAN Manager for UNIX
and LAN Server domains. Each domain has a unique domain name.
Workgroups
The terms workgroup and domain are used extensively in Microsoft networking and refer to the management mechanisms available to network members. Workgroups imply decentralized management, whereas domains imply centralized control.

Workgroups are collections of computers grouped just for viewing
purposes; each computer user is responsible for managing its security
functions. A workgroup can consist of NT Workstations, NT Servers, UNIX
computers running Server Message Block (SMB) services, and others. They
communicate using a common set of networking protocols at all seven layers of
the OSI model
