Windows Server:

Windows Server is more than just a single installation of Server 2003 installed on a computer. It can involve additional components like Exchange, Terminal Server, VPN, DNS, and of course Active Directory - all of which must be accurately configured to perform optimally for you. In addition, licensing must be in order to allow your software to run uninhibited and free from restriction. CALs (Client Access Licenses) are what Microsoft uses to register client/user use with Server services. We will ensure that each of these components, whichever may be installed, are working in harmony with each other. Our technicians have experience and training with Windows Server systems, including Windows Server 2000 and 2003. With Server 2008 vying to take its place as the #1 Windows Server operating system, you need a company who is continually striving to be ahead of the curve for you. That is why even as the next operating system is still in beta, we are already starting to use it and learn what differentiates it from the rest of the crowd. Windows Server 7 (Windows Server 2008 R2) is due for release in 2010.

Features:

• Active Directory

Problems logging into your computer/network can be caused by any number of reasons: A bad connection, poor implementation of DNS, or something as simple as a faulty wire. Often, the cause is found to be a miscounfigured server. And when properly documented, solutions come easy and quickly.

• DNS Server

A properly configured DNS Server can be thought of as a repository road map that keeps track of where everything is on your network and the internet at large. Without DNS servers, the internet would just be a long string of numbers. Windows Server relies on perfectly configured DNS to help keep everything straight in your local network. Many companies struggle to keep their networks functioning due to simple configuration errors in DNS. OSN Can help you figure out what is wrong, and keep it on the right path.

• File & Print Server

Central to a Server environment is one that allows each person to share resources. File sharing is paramount to an efficient office. Printer sharing is also a valuable tool so each person doesn't need their own personal printer. As such, many multi-function printers also have to ability to scan-to-PDF and/or email the same.
