Both TechNet and MSDN have many Windows Server 2003 resources available,
you can also start your research at the Windows Server page:

The main problem with a peer-to-peer network is that managing identities
and rights will shift from the domain controller to the individual
computers on the network. If PC1 will have a printer that you want
others to access you will need to go to PC1 and add (and keep updated)
all the usernames and passwords of accounts whose users will be
authorized to use that printer. Same for file shares. But in a domain,
the domain controller handles the user list and all member computers can
refer to this single definitive source for permissions and rights.
