This means that you will just have to manually map the drives for your users. They log on to the server just by accessing the share as in. \servernamesharename. You will have to create user accounts for each user and help set them up. Your big disadvantage is loosing access to Group Policies and desktop control but it can be done. while your pc’s can’t join the domain, it doesn’t mean you can’t use the file and print sharing on the server.
