Server Installation & Configuration In a small office environment, where three or more computer exists, a server will serve a purpose of keeping computers more secured. Each staff will have a credential to log into their computers, and with each credential, a configuration of the server to limit the access level as well as the computer function, such as installation of work unrelated applications.
Typical small offices without a server will have multiple PCs and possibly with multiple different application versions which makes sharing data and files difficult, hence reducing the productivity of your business without you even realising it!
Another daunting fact that is commonly being ignored is the importance of limiting staff access level. Users with unlimited access to computer features and applications would use their PCs to install popular peer-to-peer download clients, which result in computers having many illegal media files such as music and videos. Sharing files over the internet where the end computers are not trusted sources could result in a virus invested network environments.
One common computer server that is intended from small office environment is Windows-based server such as Windows Server for Small Business or widely known as Windows SBS. Windows SBS is available at a very affordable price for small businesses with 2 computers and up to 25 clients.
In summary, with server environment you will expect to have: - A domain server where people is authenticated when logging into the computers
- Centralised file sharing in a secured environment
- Centralised virus protection
- Homogenous computer application which makes sharing easier and faster
- Each users must log on to their computers using their own credentials
