Guest Steve Richter Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 How do I logon and config my w2k3 server from my Vista client PC? Can I go so far as to remove the keyboard, mouse and monitor? When the server is booted up, would I config it to automatically login or could the initial login be done from a client PC also. thanks, -Steve

Guest Bruce Sanderson Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 Re: config server from another PC There is no need to logon unless you need to do some administrative tasks. The server will work just fine without anyone logged in, locally or otherwise. You can also do quite a lot remotely without logging in, for example, you can open Computer Management and connect it to the server to view Event Logs, manage services etc. You can also connect remotely to the administrative shares (e.g. c$) to view and manage folders and files. -- Bruce Sanderson MVP Printing http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
