ASSIGNMENT NO 1
Network:
When Computers are connected to each other they form a network.
There are two types of that:
• Domain
• Workgroup
Domain:
A Domain is a centralized model of network management, ideal for larger
networks, such as those used in organizations or enterprises.
One or more servers, called Domain Controllers (DCs), manage the entire
network and its resources.
The Domain Controller can be considered the primary computer in this
setup since it handles user authentication, network security policies, and
manages resources across the network.
In Domain computers
Example of a Domain Setup:
• Domain Controller: Runs Windows Server 2019.
• Client Computers: Computers running Windows 10 or
Windows 11, which join the domain for centralized management.
Workgroup:
A Workgroup is a decentralized model of network management, suitable
for smaller networks, typically with less than 10-20 computers.
Each computer has its own set of user accounts, and users need to have
an account on each computer they wish to access.
Example of a Workgroup Setup:
• Multiple Computers: Computers running client operating
systems like Windows 10 or Windows 11.
• Resource Sharing: Each computer might have locally shared
files or printers, and other computers in the workgroup can access those
resources if allowed.
