Solve : School Server??

1.	Solve : School Server??
Answer» My school has all the computers NETWORKED together and are running a server. Would this be a file server? And would you use something like Apache to run the file server? My school has WINDOWS XP running on all their machines. It may or may not be a file server! A file server is a computer responsible for the central storage and management of data files so that other computers on the same network can access the files. Your server will control access and security to the network and will also be a file server if it has an AREA reserved for storage. Apache is one application to run servers. The more likely one on your system is Windows server 2003 - A microsoft application to compliment XP.Are you sure that they arn't running ghost, and every computer networked is runnning a clone of 1 machine? Quote from: ilikemycomputer on SEPTEMBER 11, 2007, 10:37:37 AM Are you sure that they arn't running ghost, and every computer networked is runnning a clone of 1 machine? What difference would that make for what kind of server the school is running? It depends on how big the schools network is. The more computers and users the more servers. If it's large enough there is probably a domain controller running Active Directory as well. There are a few different servers they could be running, or they could be taking a risk and running it all on one server. If that's the case, they should hope it doesn't crash.
