What is a Windows workgroup, and which Windows network workgroup should my office PC be in?
[Workgroups] A Windows workgroup is an entity on the network cooperatively defined and managed by two or more Windows PCs running Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, etc. Its purpose is to allow computers, printers, etc. to appear and work within a logical group, making resources easier to locate. (Macintosh users will note the direct analog of an AppleTalk zone.) Since there is no central management of workgroups possible, users must agree to the names and number of Windows workgroups on the network. The following are the only Windows workgroups which should be used on the local network (outside of the computing facility): Workgroup Name Description CEOFCampus Electron Optics Facility CBEChemical and Biomolecular Engineering research (e.g. graduate students) CHEADMChemical and Biomolecular Engineering administration (e.g. staff) CBE FacultyChemical and Biomolecular Engineering faculty (e.g. professors) CISMCenter for Industrial Sensors and Measurements FCCFontana Corrosion Center LASM
