Hi Chuck,

At the moment the WiFi is not posing any problem... Perhaps when I change
the Access Point with another and perhaps when all machines are upgraded...

Regarding domain, will there still be permissions & security? Because not
only certain folders have restrictions to who have access to view & modify
but files itself as well. For example:

Account/balance.xls
Account/productivity rate.xls
Account/debtor.xls
Account/payment.xls
Account/vouchers.xls
Account/Stationaries.xls

Marketing/xx.xls
Marketing/xxx.xls
Marketing/sales.xls
Marketing/clientlist.doc

At anytime all accountants (mark, mike) can view & modify the files within
the Account folder. But say we have a debt collector (tom), he can go into
the Account folder but in reality can only open/modify debtor.xls only. The
boss on the other hand will be able to view everything but cannot edit
anything. Say I enable all employee access to view the stationaries stock
for view but cannot edit as well. Etc... It gets really complicated as
there are too many folder and files which needs to be setup.

I read through the link but it does not answer what I needed to know. We
have Windows 2000 but should work about the same right (domain wise)?

As per your comment regarding "properly activated on the server", the
"Account is disabled" is unchecked. In fact, none of the account is
disabled. Is this what you're referring to?

Lucky,

Domain authentication and authorisation is greatly similar to workgroup
authentication and authorisation. If you can do it in a workgroup, you can do
it in a domain. The advantage of a domain is that you can store and maintain
the authentication and authorisation information in a central server, the domain
controller, instead of (as well as) in the individual servers, and the client
computers.

Setting up authorisation groups, to separate access for Mark and Mike from Tom,
is the same for a domain as for a workgroup. It's just easier if you want to
add somebody to work with Tom. If Tom gets an assistant, adding an assistant is
as simple as creating a new account, and indicating that the new account is part
of the same functional group as Tom. Regardless of how many client and servers
you have.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP Pro work the same, if Simple File Sharing is
disabled under XP Pro. Joined to a domain, all XP Pro computers run with SFS
disabled, no option. Computers running XP Home can access domain resources as
if there was a workgroup, but they can't join a domain, no option.

And yes the "Account is disabled" is unchecked means the account is activated
properly for network access. IFF that is what you're seeing on the server. In
that case, we have more work to do.
