I specifically frame how I express things generally as a DIY discussion because, 1) I believe that it is within the capacity of many of the folks here, 2)I do not want to give the mis-impression that I am advertising.

Besides, running down the latest pricing, licensing rules, and hardware capabilities is always productive if it will help more folks by publishing it here.


Indy, I agree with your last sentence, but I have to disagree with its being an economy vs DIY issue. Most people on here including myself are not capable of doing a lot of the things talked about on here. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is the cliche that comes to mind. I have spent many late nights fixing, usually via Experts-Exchange an issue with my network or server because it wasn't set up correctly in the first place. If I had know the initial complexity of setting up a domain correctly, I, myself, would have hired someone. A lot of that was because I didn't think IT was available in northern Maine.

But, I digress. I suppose it isn't completely fair to simply say, if you have to ask, you shouldn't do it. I have asked many people many times to get the answers I needed. But, I think that as time goes on, I more and more know who to ask and where to go to get those answers. I do not think there are that many people on here who know how to set up a client/server domain which utilizes Terminal Services.

Again, I am in that majority.
