Small office windows file server and domain controller setup.

My friend has a small business, he has a few employees already.

What he is looking for is to have a solution to manage information/doc/email and access controls.

My first thought is to get a windows server 2012 r2 working as a domain controller, set up user group, users. The next stage is to set up a windows file server to be joined into the domain, set up file access permission for various users ...

Can anyone here please share some suggestion/video/references so I can simply follow instructions step-by-step?

Thanks.

Ok so if I use Windows server 2012 R2 essential and create single AD domain wouldn't be able to:

1. Upgrade to Windows server 2016 standard edition later on?

2. Use NAS from 3rd party vendor such as synology, thecus and D-Link as my file server ?
