This document discusses two main types of computer networks: workgroup/peer-to-peer networks and domain/server-based networks. In a workgroup network, each computer serves as both a client and server and controls its own sharing of resources. A domain network has centralized control of resources through a server, allowing for easier administration but requiring more hardware and software costs. The document outlines advantages like ease of use for workgroups and centralized security for domains, as well as disadvantages such as lack of access control for workgroups and network failure impact for domains.

- 1. Windows Server 2012 Installing and Configuring (70-410)
- 2. Lecture 1: Network Types Objectives Workgroup Network Advantages and disadvantages of workgroup Domain based network Advantages of domain based network Disadvantages of domain based network
- 3. Network Types There are two main types of networks, Workgroup or Peer to Peer network In this network every computer it self is a server as well as a client Every computer has its own choice to share its program or not Server Based Network (domain) In which we have server and clients , the full control is with server and clients totally depend on server.
- 6. Advantages of Peer to Peer Easy to install and configure Individual machines do not depend on a dedicated server Individual users control their own shared resources Peer to peer networking is inexpensive to purchase and operate Requires no additional equipment/software other than operating system No dedicated administrator is required to run the network
- 7. Disadvantages of Peer to Peer Network security is applied to a single resource at a time Users may be forced to use as many passwords as there are shared resources Each machine must have to keep the backup to protect all shared data There is no centralized organizational scheme to locate/control access to data Its not working well with computers more than 10
- 8. Advantages of Server Based Centralized user accounts, security and access control simplify network administration More efficient access to the network resources A single password for network logon deliver access to all resource
- 9. Disadvantages of Server Based Server failure causes the entire network unusable Complex, special purpose server software requires allocation of expert staff and hence increased expenses Dedicated hardware and specialized software increases the cost
