You also need to consider the following: - Are you creating a new domain, or are you joining the server to an existing domain? - Are you running DHCP through a firewall/router, or do you want your server to run DHCP? - What are you doing for DNS inside your network (for the internal network) etc, etc, I too agree that your question is pretty vague.

So, I would suggest you read and study as this is a broad subject that most admins will have their own opinion on. It would help to know things like, do you already have the 2003 server or will you be buying one. If you have one, are your users and computer all members of the domain? If you are buying, then I would recommend the Small Business Server for the cost to benefit ratio. Will you be redirecting their My Documents folder or will you use something like Home Folder? Or will you just make a shared folder and create mapped drives using a logon batch file or possibly group policy? Give some more details as to what you would like, tighten up your question as it too vague to give detailed instruction for something this broad. dmw You did not mention your experience level.
