Alright, folks, I've landed a job and am looking to simplify things. I'm setting up user accounts across multiple machines. Since they're mostly running Windows 7, I could use some assistance with syncing files and desktops. Let me know how I can help!

No domain found? More details on its current setup would be useful.

They’ll be using an O365 service for email management by year-end. Currently, the setup is Windows 7 Pro with several local accounts and one admin account. The system relies on the ISP router/modem at this stage. Plans are to switch to Ubiquiti soon.

You seem unsure about the basics of administration. Setting up a domain starts with having a domain controller and a server running it. It’s a big undertaking with many factors to weigh. Wouldn’t it be wise to seek assistance from a trusted service provider instead?

Correct. We do not have any local providers. It is a town of about 500 (if that) in the middle of nowhere. Honestly, some links to some tutorials would be much appreciated. It would be for only about 10 computers, so nothing big.

You'll require more than just guides for this setup. I completed a Windows Server 2003 course back in September—it's not something you can rush. The OS itself costs at least $1,000 or more. You'll need expert help, especially someone familiar with configuring Active Directory. Technically, you should have multiple servers; if the domain controller fails, access becomes impossible since all user data resides there. Additionally, you'll need a dedicated server for storing user information, which pushes the overall expense into a significant range.
