The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I make a share on Server 2003?

Asked by t6bill in Microsoft Operating Systems, Microsoft Server, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: Microsoft Server 2003

I have a Windows 2003 Server with 2 XP Pro workstations connected to it.  The server has 2 NIC's, one going to a DSL modem and one to a router.  The server handles DHCP for the clients.  I can remote desktop into the server from a workstation.  Both workstations have internet access.  What I CAN'T seem to do is set up a shared folder that is visible/accessible from the workstations.  The Server's IP is 192.168.16.2 and I can ping it from workstation.  On a workstation, under My Network Places, WorkGroup, I see "Server" and under it the folder "Scheduled Tasks". The folder I want to share is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users.  Here is something strange:  under My Network Places, Microsoft Windows Network, there are TWO sub-entries, companyname, which shows the the two workstations on the network, and "Workgroup", which shows the Server with the Scheduled Tasks folder under it.  I have almost no experience with Server, and would GREATLY appreciate any "dumbed down" suggestions anyone could give.  On the server if I click properties on My Computer, the server name is listed as:   server.thecompanyname.local.  I have right-clicked the folder I want to share and in the resulting window set the drive to be shared.  But I cannot access this folder from either workstation.  Thanks in advance for any ideas, specific \\server\sharename instructions would be great.
