Generally the company uses Novell for their server software. This instance though we have a smaller office who needs a file server much cheaper. We are going with a small server and have decided to install Win2K Pro as the software to keep cost down.

I'm familiar with loading Win2k as a workstation operating system, setting up network protocol, etc... I'm not sure if I need to follow a different config for a server set up. Does anyone know how to install this and get it configured as a server?

Thanks

If it is just providing file services, no special setup is really needed. Setup your file and folder permissions just as you would on a server. Setup users in "Users and Computers" snapin. Setup networking as you normally would (ie TCP/IP).
