Can I share a folder from windows server 2008 to XP clients without using active directory?
After doing some more research, it seems like a bit overkill for this small office.
We are currently using a workgroup, but have hit it's limit of 10 or so connections.
Is there something in the middle...
oops, misunderstood. I thought you meant the lightweight AD, not small business OS.
I will backup the local accounts and make domain accounts, and stick with standard server 2008 r2 and AD DS
I am trying to share a folder on a windows server 2008 r2 box on a local network with windows xp clients.
I have installed the active directory role and understand how to make users and groups, but I was wondering how to manage the users.
If an xp client logs in as "x" on their local...
At our busiest, we could have 15 or so simultaneous calls going on at a time. We have business class DSL, i believe it is around 10mb/sec down and 1 or 2 up.
I think you are right about looking into QOS rather than port forwarding.
I think this means that I will have to go with a different...
Hey Everyone,
We have around 20 VOIP phones in our office, and sometimes when everyone is busy, calls seem to get a metallic noise to them.
I contacted the phone company (8x8) and they said that some ports should be opened in the router to help with this problem.

Hey Fayd,
thanks for the reply.
I think there seems to be some confusion.
I don't want to install windows on the drive, I want to use the HD to install windows and other things on other machines.
I have an external HD that I would like to partition into several volumes, each of which acts as a boot CD for several operating systems and live CDs.
I have tried making 5GB partitions and copying the data from my ISOs onto them, but I get BOOTMGR issues.
Ideally, the HD would house XP, 7...
I would like to add a NAS to an office I work for that has ~25 workstations.
It would have a large 'shared folder' that would be occasionally used by all employees.
I would also like to use Syncback to backup each workstation to it.
Could a sub-$1000 Netgear ReadyNas handle this sort of...
Just found out that the following exists...
Vista Sync Center

I will try to see if I can make this do what I need.
Is anyone familiar with the synchronization utility in xp? I'm told that it can sync over a network when booting or shutting down.
Has anyone played with this before and is it in vista?
The employees have files all over the place. On the desktop, documents folder, downloads, etc... and I don't think that
changing this behavior is in the cards : (
The document folder redirect sounds ideal, but is there another solution that will snag all things and chuck it on the server...
Thanks for the reply Chiefcrowe.
I would love to use home server, or just a nas with decent built-in software, but I have to use their 2003 box.
