Deciding on a Workgroup or Domain Installation Before installing Windows XP Professional, you must decide if you will install
the operating system in a workgroup or domain configuration. Workgroup Characteristics A workgroup is a small group of computers on a network that enables users to
work together and does not support centralized administration.
A workgroup has the following characteristics:
 Resources can be located on each computer in the workgroup.
 Administration and authentication of users are performed on each computer
in the workgroup.
 Each computer has its own local Security Accounts Manager (SAM)
database. A user must have a user account on each computer to which that
user needs to gain access to resources.

 Windows XP Professional can support only ten simultaneous incoming
connections.

computer, you will install it into a workgroup configuration.
