Windows Networking Flashcards
Sharing Model: Workgroup
By default, every Windows workstation is configured for a peer-to-peer sharing method based on the workgroup.
Sharing Model: Domain
Domains are client/server networks centrally managed from one or more Windows servers.
Sharing Model: Homegroup
Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 systems can join homegroups, intended to allow easier sharing of common resources like photos, videos, and printers on home networks. The feature was initially included in Windows 10, but was removed in 2018.
How would you change your computer name, workgroup, or join a domain?
- Open the System Control Panel window.
- In the Computer name, domain, and workgroup
settings, click Change Settings. - In the Computer name tab of the System Properties
window, click Change. - Make the desired change.
- Click OK. If you’re joining a domain, you’ll be
prompted for a user name and password. This isn’t
asking for the local user’s credentials, but rather of a
domain administrator with permission to join users to
the domain. - Restart your computer for the changes to take
