What is the difference between:
1-Domain account
2-Local account
3-User profile

How would a computer comprehend that it is being part of a domain or has been disconnected from it

Domain account is when you login using a domain account on a network. You would need a domain controller to be able to setup accounts to login. You would then join the computer to the domain and use a login from the central database. The point of having a domain account is to control what can be done on the computer and if you are able to login.



Local account is an account setup on the machine. By default there are some accounts. You can have both. You can have a domain user and then have that user as a local admin so they can perform admin stuff on the computer itself.



User profile is just the profile they use. If you are on the domain or login on locally it will store the profile on the computer itself. You can have roaming profiles though and store them on a server.



Domain account = centrally managed.

Local account = locally managed on the computer itself.



When you login to the machine you can choose to login to the domain or the machine. In vista you have to type .\username to login to the machine with a local account.



As long as you are connected to the network you will keep getting a ticket issued to you to stay logged onto the domain. You can be disconnected from the network though and still be logged on with a domain account if caching is enabled.

1) domain account ... it's a centralised account created and maintained at domain controller.

2) Local Account is for Local PC... whih maintained at Local PC .. ucan change password, create multiple users... allow access permissions etc.

3) user profile...belongs to a specific users it contains user related data ... like Desktop, my documents, favorites, or any related to which user having access permission....it's seperate for every user.
