Newbie to win2000 server

by mick@work . Updated 21 years, 4 months ago

folks

i’m a networking person & new to servers but i’m setting up a pdc on win 2000 for a small company of 30 – 40 users and have a few questions

i have set up the server on a medium sized PC with test user and pc accounts & can get logged on ok – my queries

1. is the mmc the only free tool available with
win2000 to administer the domain?

2. i’m giving users different levels of power on
the domain, i know the domain admin can do all
but i want to create a group with medium
powers, i.e. add new machines, configure pcs,
and one with little or no power – what goups
can i use?

3. dhcp/external dns is supplied by a broadband
connection to the telco so i have the server
as a dhcp client and the server configuration
added dns server – are there any other
services i need to disable for security

4. i want a user to have a console to add users
etc – is mmc the only free option?

thanks to anyone taking the time and effort to answer my queries
