Re: Computer build ok for my server?

The thing I'll flag which nobody else has so far is the remote access bit:

You can do this via RWW if you can spare two desktops when this remote access is needed. Or, you can, perhaps, as I do, dedicate an old machine to providing a desktop for such remote access,

You don't want to use the administrative sessions on the server for this purpose--that's both risky and not within licensing bounds. And, you don't want to add a true terminal server for two sessions, probably.

You won't want to run an Access database via a VPN connection unless you are in a locale such as Korea or some Scandinavian countries where broadband may mean 10 or 100 megabits per second. You need Terminal Services,

Hi all! I'm new to servers and wanted some quick advice on my new system. I plan on using the server for 5 computers and want to accomplish these tasks:

1. share files locally
2. allow remote access to files
3. sync Outlook
4. allow remote access to an Access database (probably 2 connections at a time max)

This is the server I was considering at Dell. Adequate? Thanks!
