| Hi Frank,
|
| Taking your advice I reinstalled SBS with the 15 GB partition and
everything
| went well with specifying where I wanted the default share folder to be
| located. Adding my users went without a hitch and the respective folders
| populated the default share. I have created a TestGuest user to the domain
| and will be using this account to attempt further configuration before I
| actually force the users to log on through the server. I'm sure to have
more
| posts there but they will be in a new thread!
|
| Thanks again Frank!
