Explanation

Explanation: The workgroup is a logical grouping of several computers whose work or users are connected and who want to share their resources with each other. Usually, all the computers in a workgroup are equal, which is why such setups are referred to as peer-to-peer networks. The most cost and administrative efficient solution in this case where no centralized security is required would be to make use of Microsoft Windows XP Professional with all the computers in the same workgroup. This would cater for connection of all the computers with a broadband router. Incorrect answers: A: There is no need to buy Microsoft Windows Server 2003. C: This option involves unnecessary expenses. Joining each computer to the same workgroup is the correct strategy, but you do not need to purchase a Windows Server 2003 package to put this into D: Joining computers to the same domain is not the same as joining them to the same Workgroup. The domain is not exclusive it is the same as a workgroup and does include a server which would mean possible extra expenses. 2003: Administrator's Companion, Microsoft Press, Redmond, 2004, Chapter 2, p. 18
