Can someone inform a Newbie on the differences/Advantages/Disadvantages of
joining domains verses Workgroups, etc.? I have a small network of around 20
computers with a winnt 4.0 server.

A workgroup is a configuration where every computer maintains its own
security database (list of user accounts.) Its good for small networks. No
centralized administration. NT Workstation, 2000 Pro and XP Pro have a
maximum of 10 concurrent connections.

With a domain configuration, there is one security database on the domain
controller. Users can access resources anywhere with their centralized
logon.
