local accounts versus domain accounts

hello guys,
I would very much like to know what is the advantage of having a local account?
more specifically, what is that you CANNOT do if you have ONLY a domain account?

hello,

let's say that you have a list of servers on which you can only use the domain account to log on, because the customer does not have the keepass with the local account; I would like to know, what it cannot be done with domain account, and it is only possible using local account? I need some specific actions.

Thank you very much!

Whether a local or domain account really doesn't matter too much. What's more important is what local group the account is a member of. Administrators would have full control of the box.
