1. What is the different between Workgroup and Domain?

Domain Server has Centralized Control Where else Workgroup has no Centralized Control Domain Network has higher level of security when compared to Workgroup. Domain Network Implementation and Maintained cost is very less when compared to that of workgroup. Time constrain is very less when compared to that of a Workgroup. Administrator has overall control on the network where else workgroup has no control. 2. How will assign o!al "dministrator rights for domain user?
