Re: Domains vs. Workgroups

I don't know why an organization would want both. You'd have to check with
the admins there to find their reasoning behind it. It could be, as you say,
that temp workers and such are not domain members and specific permissions
are allocated to the local accounts on the workgroup computers. This would
be more for convenience than for security. Subnets - if you have routes
between - doesn't buy much security. The domain secuity model is way to go.
It can be as tight or loose as an organization requires, manages access to
all resources and offers complete centralized management of user and
computer accounts. Nothing else out there comes close to the functionality.

WHy would an organization want a domain, and a workgroup? If separation
for the sake of security is an issue isn't just better to subnet?
