David,
Good points. Very good. I guess I forget the benefit I had. I worked for another doctor and we had what I would call client/server without the domain. We had a bad EMR, but I cut my teeth on networking there. When we added AD, there was nothing to learn about the computers. We never faxed to PC or PC to fax and didn't use Imported Items; still had paper charts for that.
Then, I had two months to set up my office, and I set the network up just how I wanted and set up my Muratec --> Toshiba --> Xerox and fax server. All with server and backups. So, it was simpler, all the patients started fresh with AC.
THIS IS WHY I want to jump through the screen and help set it up. I have helped a few people with that. I will say it is that group that tends to take the information and never come back. But, a lot of gone back and forth and appreciated it. Again, not the thanks, but the feedback.
I totally disagree with others about a manual. I have had to install ESET antivirus, Trend Micro antivirus, SBS 2003 and 2008, two Fax servers and many more things. And, all had manuals that I either read verbatim or referred to them.
