Domain - Q from System Admins
-
I am sure somebody here can answer my questions. 1. We have a small office network (Windows). When a domain user wants to log on to the their computer it asks if they want to lon on to the the local computer or the domain. I was just wondering what's the difference? Which one should I use? 2. When a user wants to access other user's shared file sometimes it takes almost a minute. What would be the reason? (We have a server that runs Domain Controller, but our DHCP is our router - just so that DHCP works even when our server is turned off.) Any help would be appreciated. THank you, Chandman

I think I can offer a partial answer: logging on to the domain will give you access to the network and any shared devices you have permision to use. Logging on the local computer does isolates you from the domain - no access to domain resource, but, also have local atonomy.
