Users connecting to windows server 2000 from their desktops (Your help is MUCH appreciated)
I'm a beginner in networking and I truly appreciate any help or guide lines that you give me on the following subjects. I know that I can hire someone but I want to learn how to do this.
THIS IS MY QUESTIONS:
I have 3 DELL POWEREDGE servers with windows 2003. We also have lets say 5 desktop computers which I would like to connect to the server. I was able to create workgroups and things works fine but I want to create an ORIGINAL network where instead of creating user accounts on the desktop I want to create them on the network so the when the user open their desktop they get the network login screen...etc and maybe I will create personal or shared drives also...
I created login names and password on the server and I know that one of the servers didn't allow me to access Local Users and Group because it is a domain controller where as the other two servers allowed me to do this... I would like to know and learn all this stuff.
Anyone can give me an of the list of software and procedures that I will need to accomplish this on my desktops or even recommend books or websites.
Like I said I can get someone but the company gave me all the time I need to learn this and implement it.
THANK YOU VEYR MUCH!

Thank you all.
Can I ask one question using this posting...
Is there any software you recommend that is better than ISA server to monitoring users internet usage through the server than installing it on every desktop computer?
Many thanks!

I'm do some reading and testing. Just out of curiosity, is there a quick way to setup domain controllers? I mean I installed windows 2000 before and it allowed me to be create local users but how can setup one of the 3 servers to be a domain controller? I don't want details if it is too long but just some quick notes.
How can I increase this question to 60 so I can give each of you 20 points?
Thank you.
