What's the percieved disadvantage in setting up a domain model, since you
have a server that can do it? There's no additional cost, and it's a lot
easier to manage - only one place to set security (server), only one place
to manage accounts, you can use DHCP, DNS, roaming profiles, etc., ro make
admin a breeze....I'd do it, frankly.

That said, if you don't want to, you need to make sure there are accounts
set up on the server that match exactly what the local accounts/passwords
are for each machine. If someone changes a password, you have to change it
on the server too.
