<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
 &nbsp;I'm on a small network here with about 10 computers. All computers running NETBEUI. I was thinking about making a server to be the Domain Controller.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; Will that allow me to set up permissions on that server and allow me to assign users to groups ie: Administrators, Power Users and they will have access to all the computers and files if they were an admin? The way we have to do it now is go to every computer that you want access to the files and create a profile. Put your password on and all kinds of crazyness. I just wanted to make sure that a domain controller is going to do what I thought it should do.<br />
<br />
&nbsp; This would also alow us to have one &quot;bank&quot; for passwords and they would be changed there and not on every computer right?<br />

Windows 2000 Advanced Server - Domain Controller

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
