Re: [Samba] Workgroup compared to Domain
You may want to read up on some of the Microsoft documentation. The fundamental difference is that with a domain, the user and computer accounts are centralized, not maintained separately on each computer. My experience is that once you get before 5 machines managing a workgroup gets impractical. -Original Message- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Robert Moskowitz Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2010 9:17 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Workgroup compared to Domain Are there any good articles comparing features/functions of a Workgroup compared to a Domain?

If you don't want the centralised control of a Windows domain, leave Workgroups well alone; they are fragilel overly complex for what they do and quite obsolete.

Are you one of the original posters alternate personalities? Otherwise, I'm a little confused by yours. The OP has said almost nothing about about what he's actually looking for; I think you're making some unwarranted assumptions about what those needs are. Did you even research the Amahi project? For a lot of it's common uses, UPnP-style solutions are actually appropriate. If the OP has something else in mind, maybe you could ask. -- Bruce Explota!: miles de lemmings no pueden estar equivocados. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Confused by your answer! Are you one of the original posters alternate personalities? No, I am not an alternate personality for the OP. The OP asked for documentation regarding MS Windows workgroups and domains to help him write documentation for the Amahi project. If I understood your reply correctly, you believe UPnP and ZeroConf solves the problem of MS Windows workgroup management. While that may be an option it does not answer the OP request very well - or does it? It certainly does not help him to document the use of Samba which I understood as the nature of his request for assistance. Otherwise, I'm a little confused by yours. The OP has said almost nothing about about what he's actually looking for; I think you're making some unwarranted assumptions about what those needs are. Maybe I am making too many assumptions, in which case mea culpa. Did you even research the Amahi project? Yes! I might know a little bit about UPnP and the use of avahi (zeroconf) - but that is way off topic for questions regarding Samba's workgroup and domain security models. For a lot of it's common uses, UPnP-style solutions are actually appropriate. If the OP has something else in mind, maybe you could ask. If the OP feels inclined perhaps he will respond and clarify.
