Re: A Dumb Question

Hello jim@xxxxxxx,

Well, i do not prefer the way you describe, better find out with regmon and filemon from sysinternals what rights are needed, before sharing a complete system drive. Also you can think about redirecting the installation to a different drive instead of C:

I know this may seem like a dumb question but we are a very small
office (5 users) and we are upgrading from windows 2000 to Win Server
standard 2008. The software package we uses requires a "true" server
operating system. On Win2000 we simply did a peer-to-peer share of
the servers "root" directory and it worked fine for 7 years.

I do not think we need all the active directory stuff in this
enviroment. Is there a way to share the "root" directory in Win2008
