I have and run a small home business and I would like to setup my network better;
I have to find a way to manage users across my 6 Windows laptops. They all have Windows 7 home/pro. Connected to a small DLink router in 2 rooms of the home.
I have heard of Windows Home server, but unfortunately I dont have any more PC's. Is there a utility I can install on my pc (the admin) pc to manage this ?
Would really be nice if I can either centralize accounts or at lease when I change my password it replicates across all laptops.
All suggestions are welcome to this and other ways I can better manage my home network.
thankyou.
yes, I think I should invest in a SBS windows server + lic, but that will cost me $2000 AU or more. Is there a better cost effective way, i.e can a linux box be my authentication root (domain ) ? – IEnumerable – 2012-10-23T08:13:34.193
Well like I said, Samba-4 isn't finished. I have tested it and found the authentication portion of it does seem to work OK, but I wouldn't trust beta software to manage your production network. You might be better off waiting, or springing the cost of a Windows alternative if it absolutely can't wait. – Xyon – 2012-10-23T08:40:34.200
