For companies with more than 15 total workstations, a domain network environment is recommended by Microsoft.

 

For companies with 15 or less workstations, as long as any PC on the network can read and write to a shared folder on the server, FocalPoint will function properly. Whether it is a server based operating system (typically a domain) or workstation based operating system (typically a workgroup) that falls within our supported operating system specs, FocalPoint will work in either network environment.

 

Workgroup vs. Domain is best left up to your IT consultant as far as what fits your needs best from a networking standpoint.
