Server 2003 server role question

[Guest Dean]

I need to setup a windows 2003 server standard for a local school.

 

I need to setup a shared drive and personal drive for 7 teachers and 1

general account for students to store shared files. No need for any other

services, just personal drives and file sharing.

 

What server role can I use? I want to do this in a simplest way possible.

 

I would appreciate your comments.

Hello Dean,

 

Should they work on the server or will they use workstations to connect to

the server/share?

 

Best regards

I don't like this idea, but if you think the environment will be this small

with less than 10 users and you think about ECONOMY, then you can use a

Windows XP for that.

 

However, a more professional answer would be to use Windows Small Biz and

use a distinct account for each student for the sake of security and

identification.

thanks for you reply.

 

Students and teachers will use Windows XP workstations.

 

Students:

- All students share 1 account and need 1 drive mapping to shared folder for

sharing files.

 

Teachers:

- Drive mapping for shared folder used by teachers.

- Drive mapping to individual home directory.

The school already acquired windows 2003 standard server. In order to have

distinct login accounts, is a domain controller needed or can the server be

setup as a file server only. thanks in advance.
