Loading Operating Systems and Applications onto the Network

Loading Windows onto the Network

You can load Windows onto a network in several ways.

• Load all Windows files on a user’s local hard drive.

• Load Windows program files on the server, and load user files on local hard

drives.

• Load all Windows program and user files on the server. In most cases, this

installation provides the easiest maintenance and most efficient use of resources.

Instructions for the ﬁrst two options are included in the documentation that

came with your Windows software. Instructions for loading program and

user ﬁles on the server are included in this section.

Following are some advantages of having all Windows ﬁles installed on the

server:

• Program and configuration files are backed up and secure.

• No hard disk is required on the user workstation.

• The .INI and driver files for all users can be updated from one location.

• Configuration files always match hardware.

The only disadvantage of having all Windows ﬁles installed on the server is

that it causes more network trafﬁc.
