Damain Account is the Active Directory account created under your company domain. By using the windows domain account is easier to manage and much secure. Windows integrated security model for SQL server is a recommended way for SQL server security and by using the Kerberos authentication you can perform the dynamic security. 

You can't create a domain account in your local machine(if you are not a domain administrator), as only the AD administrator can create the windows domain account. But you can create your SQL logins from the Windows domain account when they are already in the AD.

In Enterprise manager, on the server name, you right click properties, and authentication (or security - it's been a while since I've managed SQL Server), and set authentication modes to "mixed".

Note that you can only add users to the database from Domains that are trusted/accessible by whatever domain the SQL server is a member of.

Once you've done that, you can add users by DOMAIN\Username in the Add Users collection. Simply specify their domain username instead of a custom SQL name.

Hello,

That's not explained with a few words, it's some more complex. You may ask your network guy's in your company how it works.
