    In simple terms:

    Domain = Central Administration (less work, easier to maintain)

    Non-Domain, eg workgroup = Administration has to be done on each machine (more work, harder to maintain especially in medium to larger organisations)

    For example:

    1. Creating a user

    In a Windows domain environment, you create it in AD. This user can log on to any PC in that domain.

    In a workgroup, you will have to create that user on every PC that the user may sit at in order for the user to be able to use any of the PC's.

    2. Setting security

    In a Windows domain environment, you set it up it in AD. This is then replicated across AD and "pushed" to the clients".

    In a workgroup, you will have to set up the same security on each PC (over and over again) to ensure the same thing.
