I won't give admin rights to anyone I was just using that as an example,
thanks for the advice though ....I need it. As far as a domain I have less
than 4 machines, so running things doesn't seem to be so bad yet. Our network
is for a small store and unless we move to a new building things won't get
much bigger. To be honest with you my knowledge of setting up a domain is
limited as well. I know that's not a great excuse but I've been learning so
in the future it's definitely a possibility. Thanks so much for all your help.
