Is there a Computer Object Type when using a WORKGROUP

[Guest KayP]

Quick question for you. I am setting up a simple file server configured with

WORKGROUP. I do not see client machines appear as computer object types like

you see in AD setup. Do computer object types exist in WORKGROUP config? I

was hoping to set permissions to share on server based on the client machine

object and not necessarily on user level. This is because I have a service

running on client machine that will be accessing the share. Any advice is

greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No. Use a domain.
