I work in an office that has three PCs peer-to-peer networked using Windows
5
and Office 97. I want to be able to set up public folders to share contact
lists and group schedules. I'm led to believe that I should change over to
Windows NT and use the Microsoft Exchange Server software. I have a couple of
questions:
1. Do I just need Windows NT Workstation installed on each computer and
continue to have peer-to-peer networking or do I have to purchase Windows NT
Server as well, and have one one computer set up as the server (and the
thers
running NT Workstation)?
2. Can I install Microsoft Exchange Server on a PC with Windows NT
orkstation
or do I need the NT Server for Exchange Server to work?
I'm getting conflicting advice from the computer stores in town - their
knowledge of software is limited to the latest wizz-bang games . Our network
will be expanding to six PCs this year and we need to share faxing and
scanning facilities as well as internet access. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
