How do I set my network up on a domain?

[MainFramed]

I own a website (domain name) and I would like to setup my house network up on it. How can I do this?

BTW: One other questions about a Domain Network:

• Can I login to my network/desktop via Remote Desktop?

[more later? ]

Would Appricaite any input 🙂

Get Windows2000 Server.

Or Windows2003RC1 and set it as a Domain Server.

You got any ideas how much Windows 2000 Server costs?

 

[FoolishMcNasty]

or you could set-up a samba box acting as a primary domain controller...

I think he's talking more on the terms of just being able to connect to his computer via a domain name. There's no reason for you to have a domain unless you require the manageability of Active Directory and are planning to use a domain-based system like Exchange for e-mail.

Well the main reason is for the learing experince....

All i really wanna do is connect to my domain, so i can share files and printers (my network..but i wanna have a domain setup?)

Simplify, You know when you login to a domain...(like when you start your computer) You type your user name, password and domain. whats that all about? how do i set that up...thats what im really asking i guess. sorry to confused 🙂

Well, if you can afford to spend $19.

Try this link:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/orderbeta.asp

It is a big package includes: Server2003, Office20033, Exchange Server 2003. Share point, and more.

Windows Server 2003 overtakes Solaris 9

Time: 04:24 EST/09:24 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

The number of sites running Windows Server 2003 has overtaken Solaris 9, in spite of the fact that Windows Server 2003 does not launch until later on this month.

Solaris 9 launched in May 2002. However, Sun seems to take relaxed view about envangelisng new operating system versions; even www.sun.com is still running Solaris 8. www.microsoft.com is at the opposite end of the product advocacy spectrum and started running Windows 2003 last July.
