Guest Dean Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 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.
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted September 5, 2007 Posted September 5, 2007 Re: Server 2003 server role question Hello Dean, Should they work on the server or will they use workstations to connect to the server/share?

Guest net_admin Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 RE: Server 2003 server role question 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. -- NetAdmin <São Paulo, BR> "Das ist nicht mein bier... arschloch."
Guest Dean Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Re: Server 2003 server role question 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.

Guest Dean Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 RE: Server 2003 server role question 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.
