Limitations of Workgroups

Although workgroups can be very useful, they become unwieldy if morę than

ten computers are on a network. In a workgroup, all user accounts are local user

accounts. Each user must have a local user account on each Computer to which

he or she needs to gain access. Thus, if five workers have five computers in a

workgroup, and they all need access to each other. s resources, there would be

25 user accounts in the workgroup.one local user account for each employee

on each Computer. When a change is madę to a user account in a workgroup,

the change must be madę on each individual Computer in the workgroup so that

the user continues to have access to all of the needed resources.
