Sharepoint - do pc's have to be part of a domain to use sharepoint?
Looking to install sharepoint but the main server is unix and a new sharepoint server would be installed. None of the pc's in the main office are part of a domain and the branch offices are not part of domain either. Can all the pc's that are NOT part of a domain access sharepoint and all it has to offer?
Thanks

Or if you allow anon access which is the case for external facing SP sites
Hi,
access is handled by users (user security), not by computers.
The complicated topic would be that you have to create the users locally on the SharePoint server (if there is no domain).

Thanks for the responses.
Ok...to be clear...
1) I set up a windows sharepoint server (domain) - domain part just for the server
2) I put in every local user and from the branch locations on the sharepoint server.
3) The users will access via Terminal services or internal Website (with logon) hosted on the sharepoint srv?
Also...Can someone describe all that can be done with sharepoint ...basically as I understand it you can create
- Department websites as well as company websites on the sharepoint server that can be
setup with templates
- depositories for documents
- share spreadsheets / Word doc (I assume you don't have to install Ms Office on
sharepoint? correct?
what language is used to program the multiple websites if you don't use a template? Assuming you can do multiple sites.

Thanks for the response, Rainer.
1) I saw that 2013 version was out ...That is the version I would probably use.
2) Do you have to do any programing to get things to work? would the templates work to
get started...
3) There are multiple branches ...about 8 ....is it correct the user can access sharepoint
from any offsite branch via a Browser? Thru ipsec tunnel or via the internet thru DMZ?
4) There are about 20 main office user and 70-80 various branch users. As I understand
your response only the local users would need to be setup, Correct?
5) Well I did want to want to do the Office web Apps but not sure about the office vol
license ...that on top of a new server and sharepoint cost, cal's etc ...seems like it could
get pretty pricey....so probably it would end up be a shared file solution...but undecided
at this point ...just didn't realize it was going to take vol lic for office. Would I need 100
user vol license for office?
7) Not clear yet on the domain install... My original plan was to install it on a new windows stand alone server ...100 cals ....It's just not clear to me if I am required to make the server
a domain server for sharepoint or not...If I don't have to make it a domain server thats fine
with me ...Just not sure which I need to do or rather plan for???
8) Not sure I understand how you are thinking about using Term services...
Thanks
