Win2K Pro as a server?

[VBMan]

I want to configure Win2K Pro as a network server.&nbsp;&nbsp;If this is possable could you give me some tips on setting it up.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a net card and a hub so I an set other than that.<br><br><br>VBMan<br>

I know you can get them all set up as Peer to Peer throught a hub with no real problems, but I wouldnt know about setting up Pro as a Domain. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

You can't set up Win2K as a domain.&nbsp;&nbsp;You could set the machine as a a &quot;server&quot; in a peer environment, however be warned that I am not aware the MS has changed it's licensing from NT where it is illegal to have more than 10 simultaneous connections to a workstation.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would assume this still stands for Win2K Pro. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

Win2k can be a Domain that much I know, I just dont know about the pro version. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

You're right Karl, I forgot to type the &quot;Pro&quot;. :-(<br><br>One of the main reasons to separate the desktop and server version (other than performance tuning) is to manage a domain.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you use the desktop version you're stuck with peer netowrking. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

I understand there's bit of a big cost difference as well, also its funny tho most companies still use Win98 as the workstation OS like my company. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

That's because bean-counters make decisions for the tech people.&nbsp;&nbsp;Up front Win98 might be 100.00 per seat cheaper but I guarantee you that over the life of the machine it costs a lot more than 100.00 per machine more to support 98 than NT. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...

I would have to agree.&nbsp;&nbsp;In our 50 pc company, we are migrating from NT to 2000, but still have a couple of 98 machines.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would say in any given week, I spend an hour fixing one of the 98 boxes, and maybe 2 hours with all the others combined.&nbsp;&nbsp;Horray for stability and remote administration!!! <p> <br><a href=mailto: anongod@hotmail.com> anongod@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>"Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing.

hehe, I'm surprised my boss havent had me goin around and installing NT workstations. plus we use NT4 as a server, and I'm sure he thinks using it on our Workstations wouldnt be good (or too much of a hassle) <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

Hey Karl, my #1 push to my clients for Workstation v 98 is security, especially with the &quot;Department Head&quot; (or the kissass that keeps the dirt on everyone) who keeps sensitive info on his machine. The big sell is standing in front of the 98 box with the login screen up and hitting the escape key. The jaw drops and the order is placed. <p>Al<br><a href=mailto: atc-computing@home.com> atc-computing@home.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
