Key Takeaways

Domains and Domain Controllers are an efficient way to manage and control computers on a network by grouping them together. Once a computer is joined to a Domain the Domain Controller has full control of all settings that were configured, and won't be able to be changed by a user on that computer.

Contrary to a Domain, in a Workgroup no computer has control over the others. Workgroups are default on Windows machines to allow inter-connectivity and file-sharing in a local network.

Conclusion

To succinctly summarize what a Domain does, I would say that it centralizes control over a network of computers. Generally in a enterprise environment, this allows easy access and control of the network and security settings of this network.
