Windows domains are not a native Mac feature and the MacOS X does its
best
to support them, through Samba. Documentation on Samba can be found
here:
http://www.samba.org/
In order to be part of a Windows domain you have to be connected to, and
accepted by a Windows domain server. MacOS X Server provides an option
to be a PDC (Primary Domain Controller), which allows computers to be
part of domain, where there are a centralised notion of users and
groups.
Workgroups are virtual 'communities', in that there is no central
control
of users and groups and the workgroup notion is more to provide an easy
way of associating computers without central control.
