A domain is a group of computers controlled by an administrator or group of administrators. Microsoft current server operating system, Windows 2003 Server, uses Active Directory to establish and maintain a domain environment. All of the PCs with a domain can be administered by the "Domain Admins" group, by default, when they are added to the domain.
