Currently my workstation is not on the domain, currently setup as a Workgroup.
The reason I didn't join my workstation to a domain because I don't want to be restricted installing software and I don't want my files to be stored on the network. By default, GPO policy are tight which inherent to all OU - such as Control Panel restriction, C drive restriction, etc.
I am a web developer and I deal with a lot files, database, and sometime I install softwares.
When I need to admin the Windows Server, I use Remote Desktop Connection or sometime login to console via Vmware ESXi.
If I do join the domain on my workstation, should I use domain login all the time on my workstation or what the best way?
