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.

Hello Dean,

Should they work on the server or will they use workstations to connect to
the server/share?

Best regards

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.

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.

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.
