With a Windows 2000 server you can also set up a service that will manage how Microsoft office is installed on the network. So you can easily deploy setups and updates. That is a big benefit unto itself.

Ok, my new high tech office (HAHAHAHAHA) has an internet connection, some sort of linksys router and firewall but no real network. One of my first out of scope jobs to purchase a server. We need filesharing for sure. Some security would be nice, but we dont' deal with anything confidential really so not as important as some other industries. Ability to back up files is essential. But since the office has been managing without a server for so long the office could manage without one should the server fail. All 12 workstations (maybe 13 by that time) will be running XP pro. What should i buy? Should i buy a 2000 license to manage a domain or not bother? There is a budget for the server, but i have no idea what it is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
