s about the Account Server
Hey there! I see you're looking to set up your server as a shared storage hub for the school computers. It sounds like a solid plan. You could explore using Windows Server with a domain setup or a dedicated file sharing service like SharePoint or OneDrive. For security, consider implementing user accounts and access controls so each student has their own login. Adding features like logging out from one machine to another and using simple identifiers (like usernames or pictures) can be achieved through custom scripts or third-party tools. Let me know if you'd like more details on any of these options! Thanks, John.
Everything can be achieved by establishing a domain and arranging the correct Group Policy configurations for your users. You can set up your server to function as both a domain controller and a file server. Group policies will assist in implementing all the details you mentioned, though it will require significant research to tailor each setting exactly as needed. If you lack time for this research, you can always hire an IT professional experienced in systems administration to handle the setup.
Need to add the Domain Controller role on the server. From there, you can access "add users computers/groups" to create user accounts and manage various options through the GUI (such as login times). Then connect to the desired computers in the domain using their domain accounts. Ensure the server and PCs can ping each other for connectivity and join the domain. All these steps can be configured via Group Policy settings that are pushed to your domain accounts. Setting up GPOs and OUs is up to you, but I recommend doing some research—Group Policy can be complex.
