Simple Win 2003 File Server

by psk79 . Updated 21 years, 6 months ago

Hi ,

I have been using XP pro for a long time but have no experience with
win server.
we have recently purchased a dell pe 2850. Our goal is to provide every
member in our group an uid/passwd and a folder on the server to store
their stuff. This way they can store/access all their files from the
server like a share from any machine in the building. All the machines
get their ips from DHCP managed by the company. Now I have the
following questions:

1) Is this possible by simply installing win2k3 and creating shared
folder and sub folders for each user and restrict access ?? I mean
similar to creating a
MSHOME workgroup in Win XP pro. All the user machines run win xp
home/pro. If at all this is possible, do we need as many licenses as
the users ?

2) Or do we need to create domains etc …

Thanks for any help.
