File Sharing over the network (domain)

How do I add domain users to security settings when the domain is not listed
in the locations?

I want to share a folder that is attached to a workstation that is part of a
domain.
When I add from 'select users and groups', only the workstation is listed as
location and not the domain. I recall at one point I used to be able to add
such a group.


How can I resolve this matter?

Assuming this is domain workstation and logon domain, you click Locations to
switch from local computer do domain after you select Sharing>Add.

This kind of defeats some of the purposes of having a domain. #1 the
workstation is limited to 10 concurrent connections, #2 now you have to
backup up that share on that computer. Is there a cost associated with
backing up different computers with your backup software?
#3 Now you have to make sure the user of that computer leaves it on all the
time so others can access it and it can be backed up.

I would suggest moving the folder to a server that is already being backed
up.
