I am sorry, but that is just not the truth. May be for you, but it isn't for most people who know how to use a server. JBS always talks about running people off, well now you are. It isn't hard to change permissions and updates on any computer can reap havoc.
Have you tried SharePoint? Have you even tried Exchange. I agree Exchange is likely not necessary, but SharePoint is simple and easy to use and certainly helpful to a lot of people. I have never heard one person say they used it and didn't like it. Remote Workspace (RWA) is incredible but not faster than RDC.
"stay with Peer to Peer network, irrespective of what Bert's IT guy says"
Don't quote me if you are going to quote me incorrectly. You don't need 50 computers to use a server. One is enough.
By this time, your post is a hijack. We are helping Tom who wants to move forward. I don't even know who you are quoting, but it would be helpful to know.
Again, to say you shouldn't use a server because the permissions may go down due to updates is ludicrous. Like P2P computers go down.
I don't know why everyone keeps thinking you will get more speed from a server. 24GB, 48GBs, who cares? If you had SQL Server that could use that RAM, sure.
I am sure this will start quite the flame war, but I don't appreciate waking up to being called out from posts days ago. Please put it in perspective next time. And, yes, Jon, I was right, lol.
