Does this make me a bad person? Oh God.

Ok so I have this client, who owns a Mortage Company. This client is having me build them a server system w/ a Raid 5 configuration, and lots of other nifty things. Well after selling them a few laptops from Omax, and working out a $2058 Server system, I worked out a "deal" with them ( Read more... )

Some Advice, Assuming you have 20 users joezollo May 6 2006, 03:59:59 UTC

My suggestion is to install Windows Server 2003 R2 and set it up as a domain controller with active directory for authentication. In any network environment with over 10 users, AD becomes more of a requirement. Simply have all the computers join the domain. Also be sure to setup a login script that mounts the users home directory, in case they want to store anything on the server ( ... )

Most of the users will be running the software locally, but there will be an option to remote in and use it off the server. We already are using SATA (b/c why not? heh).

Also Server 2003 w/ 20 users is like $700, so we're going to use Windows 2000, and the software they need to run has an option to remote in using IIS on porn 443 (ssl, etc)

I'm just trying to keep costs down as much as possible.
