We run a small network, about 14 machines. We are planning to expand
and will be doubling network machines. I was told that we ought to
look into setting up a domain controller. We're currently doing
everything P2P. I'm not sure I exactly understand how a domain
controller is needed. Will it speed up our network? Is it easy to
setup? What would I need to purchase? can I use an existing XP pro
or w2k pro server as a domain controller or do I have to buy a
software package? Am I going to have to do major configuration
changes to all the client machines?
Could someone please explain what a domain controller does, and how it
works together with the network? Thanks in advance.
