very pretty way to protect user names and passwords. So what can you do?

You have three choices:

1. You can make people log on to shares as just shown.

2. You can create the same accounts (same user name and same

password) on all the computers and give sharing permissions to all the

users for all the shares.

3. You can use one account on all computers. Everyone logs on with the

same account, and then all shares are by default assigned to the same

account.

EXAM TIP Moving and copying folders and files within network shares

and between network shares and local computers doesn’t affect the file

attributes. If you copy a read-only file from a network share to your desktop,

for example, it’ll still be read-only. You can easily change this sort of file

attribute by right-clicking the file and selecting Properties.

Domains

Workgroups work well in smaller networks (<30 computers), but for larger

networks, or if you desire a network with more control and security, it’s far

better to use a Windows domain, a network organization that centralizes user

accounts, passwords, and access to resources. Look at Figures 19-33 and 19-

34. In a Windows workgroup, each computer has its own set of local user

accounts. In a Windows domain, a computer running Windows Server is

configured as a domain controller. A domain controller stores a set of domain

accounts. A user logging on to any computer on the domain may use their

one domain account to log on to the entire network.
