Time estimate on deploying NT

If you have experience with NT products, it is easy and takes a couple of hours. If you install both server simutaneously, it is quick. Workstation takes a little less time. If you have never installed, be careful on selections, write down every screen setting and messages because NT is not very intuitive, but it isn't bad to install and it is VERY reliable and fast. Setup a Domain. Make a pre-installation plan before you start. Call the server SERVER, call the domain DOMAIN. setup the server with IP address 192.168.0.1 and setup DHCP with a scope of 192.168.0.25 to 192.168.0.75 or any range you like. Configuring the network is a little more time consuming. It all depends on how many users are entered and what other applications you have to configure and set permissions for. Again, if you have done this before, NT network can be installed and setup in less than 3-4 hours (maybe even less depending on the machines). I hope I answered your question.

Make sure you have all the drivers you will need before you begin the install as NT is not Plug and Play. Also be sure to have the latest service pack downloaded and ready.
