Hi guys, Thanks for the several answers.
Of course, this servers are behind a well configured firewall. To be really correct, i have to say, that the servers are not in a DMZ. It's only a server farm behind a firewall. The server are managed via a remote control software, so i don't have a workstation there. After this several answers, i can't see an problems why not to use a domain instead of a workgroup. thanks to all. ============================================ Am Montag, 4.
