bond_oo7 (Interesting name :-) your sajha-name reminded me of an old friend of mine that used to call himself 007-- whew ~~ turned me nostalgic again). Anyways, getting back to the track: You already have Server 2K right? Don't be using the Workgroup anymore. :( It's a Pain!!! Install the Active Directory from the 2K CD -- it's as simple as installing an instant messenger. Then create a domain -- push the members to the domain, and have a centralized control of the Network. Here's the link that walks you through. http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_install_active_directory_on_w2k.htm But please make sure you have all the patches, hotfixes, and SPs well up-to-date. Remember, you're increasing security risks everytime you are adding services. ~@~
