When installing a new network for a small business, whose computers are running on Windows operating system, you are told by the manager that his most concern is security. Therefore, he wants the network to be managed by only one computer. When configuring the computers, what type of network setup will you use?

A domain is a collection of computers that are intrinsically tied or associated and share a common domain name. It contains a single authority (known as a domain controller) that handles security and resource access for all computers. All users will log in to the Windows domain using the user account that was generated centrally. If no domain is used, Windows computers will join a workgroup called workgroup by default, making it simple to share files, printers, and other resources. Each workstation that shares a resource has access to it configured. The disadvantages of a workgroup are that security is configured on each PC and that it is only suitable for extremely small networks. In previous versions of Windows, homegroup was a networking mechanism that shared libraries. A personal area network (PAN) is made up of a computer and its wireless devices, which are commonly connected to Bluetooth devices like printers, headphones, and input devices. A domain is a network in which resource access is configured on a central server to which all resource users must log in.
