Sage Network Install

I'm a virtual Sage newbee, I can install Sage standalone and that about it ...... Tomorrow I have to migrate a roppy old ME workgroup network install of Sage 9 to a new XP workgroup. Not worried about the Mikeysoft side of it, it is the Sage intall that is giving me a headache. They want the XP-PRO machines in the workgroup to have one machine configured as a Sage 9 Server and run Sage 9 Client on the same machine and run Sage Client on on others in the workgroup. I do not have a login to Sage Support and have no acces to one.
1. Can anyone give me the low down on how to do this workgroup Client/Server intall
2. In migrating how to a save and thus migrate the settings file with compant data etc. ?
rsvp asap ... gotta do this lot in the morning :-(

It turned out easier than I thought ..... just copied old files from old ME server machine to new XP-Pro-SP2 workgroup server, copying into same name dir path, loaded sage over the top and bingo.
Mapped net share to new workgroup server from clients, did network install from server and bingo once more.
Like most things, easy when you've done it ;-) Anyway, thanks for the good grace to reply so quickly, the points are yours.
