1. Yes I would like to setup some home directories.
I suppose that once I have the home directories that would give me what
Iwould need, meaning that the users would be able to access files from the
home directories. Not necessarily from another workstation.
So basically I don't want the users to save the files to their harddrives
but save them to a home drive that is more secure as well as have then
accessible via the server home directories for others to access.
"but if all you need is a couple of workstations to access a
server, then you can very likely get away with not using Active
Directory." I thought that since I had 2003 server that I needed to setup
Active Directory, if I don't need AD I would perfer going without it. So,
now all I would need is the Workstation to access the server.
