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.
