I have setup a Windows Server as a Domain controller.
I will be honest I am a novice when it comes to windows and windows server administration, just wondered if you guys / experts had some advice about the best practices and must haves for a small office environment...
Currently We have 4 users setup including myself as the administrator and myself as a user from home (with some admin functions), it is a little complicated as I also have my home connected to the office with a permanent VPN using two Drayteks. (this works very well infact).
Also I did manage to setup dropbox on the server and sync the work folders and then share them using the windows server folder sharing - not sure if I have this 100% setup correctly.
I am in two minds about buying extra office licences (per machine) or paying the office 360 monthly user costs???
Can i buy a virus software that will run on the server and scan all PC's on the domain or is that silly?
All suggestions and ideas would be very well received and much appreciated.
Thank you.
Mick
