So I might be putting a server in for a company. I kinda know what I'm doing, but I'm not completely sure. I believe all their comps are the same, and I want it set up so that they can log in on any computer, and their files will be on the server. I also want to have them all in a group, so I (or the boss or whoever) can control their permissions, like one click to disable all of them from writing to the HDD. I know I'd need something along the lines of Microsoft server, but what edition do I get? And automated backups of the data?
and finger print readers, I'm thinking that would make it easier to get on the computer now that they all have passwords... what would you recommend for a finger print reader that you have to swipe the finger across, not just press it (my friend told me how he got past one where you press it)
I'd also like to have the internet controlled... ie no adult sites, no picture sites, no games ect... what program would work well for that?
I've been told they have about 15 computers, but they want to be able to expand to 25 or more.
I know they have a firewall (hardware firewall) so I'd connect the server to the network right past that firewall, assuming that no one else in the building (if there is anyone else) uses that connection. Is that correct?
And finally, what kind of specs would you recommend for this? operton and 3 gigs of ram good? I can figure out the HDD size, but I'm not sure about the cpu and memory sizes.
