    Opinion needed: Domain or Workgroup.

    Hi,
    We are replacing our NT4 web server with a win2K. The NT4 was setup in a workgroup, not a domain.

    Are there any pro's or con's to domains vs workgroups?

    The root webpage allows anonymous access. However there are secured pages that require the user to be setup as a user on the server. These users will be unique to this server.

    Thanks,
    Al.

    Well, for a Domain, you'll need a domain controller. For a Windows 2000 Active Directory Domain, you'll need a DNS server as well.

    Sounds like you're better off with a workgroup. If you already have a Windows Domain based intranet, you could use that domain so user accounts are managed across the network and not just the web server.
