Question : difference between managed and unmanged computer in a network

I am putting up a network and I started to join workstations in a domain. When should I make workstations managed and when should i have them unmanaged? What is the difference between the two set-up?

Answer : difference between managed and unmanged computer in a network

All I can find about the "Managed Computer" option is that it can be used with the Remote Installation Service (RIS)

When looking at it on my server, it is asking for a Hardware GUID from the BOIS of the workstation - which says to me that it will be trying to either boot from LAN or something similar.

If you are simply trying to add computers to the domain, you will be adding workstations as "Unmanaged"
