Hi jdff,

Did you make a decision on what you were goin to do next?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm trying to decide if I should use a domain controller or if just mapping the drives to the corresponding locations on the server. I'm going to implement a file server and security is not a major concern, I may have a slightly security on certain folder on the server but I really don't know if I should implement a domain controller in order to setup my file server... any suggestion?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

File server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
