Workgroups

There really isn't a disadvantage but I'm not for sure what the question is. Are you going to leave them as workgroups (not part of the domain)? Are you wanting to have one large domain? If you make them part of one large domain, you would need to make a site for each workgroup and have a domain controller at each site that was a global catalog server.
If you have additional information or a more detailed question I would be happy to provide input.
Good luck.

I agree with #1. If you want to do it in a domain then all you would have to do it set up an IP range for each group an rout acordingly.

Sorry, let me clarify... We have just one domain. There are 23 subnets and in each subnet there is a domain controller. Each domain controller replicates to a central controller at the hub. The clients are Win9x. Currently there are workstationsin each subnet that have different workgroup names. I would like to get all of the workstations assigned to just one workgroup. Is there anything wrong, other than aesthetics, with having several workgroups if it is not necessary? Does having these workgroups generate unecessary WAN traffic?

i think maybe your looking for a simp[le answer to your Q! that would be a NO, this would run perfectly well in my opinion!
