- LOCAL USER: you can only use them if they are in the machine in which they were created ("alumnoBach" for example). There are two types of local users: Administrator and Standard.
- DOMAIN USER: One person can control all the computers with just a computer, the domain controller (for example: changing the wallpaper, prohibit access to files, etc...). The Domain user has advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is the fact that you don't need to know the password of each device and a couple of disadvantages of this user are that if the network is down, you can't access to your computer and if you don't log off your domain user session, anyone who uses the computer afterwards can access to your data.
Hope you find it useful.

Hi Diana! For this post I have the same comments as for Alba's:
ReplyDelete1. Just be aware of the differences between standard and administrator users.
-Standard: users with limited access to the system. Sometimes they cannot install software or change basic configuration of the system like the IP address, create other users, or change password for other users.
- Administrator: special user type with full access to the system. They are able to create other users and change passwords for them.
2. Talking about Domain Controllers:
- Advantage: a domain user can access all the computers in the domain using the same username and password. But as you stated, if the network is down, you couldn't access to none of the computers.
Cheers! Angélica.
