Want to set up a home server!!!???!!

Hey,
I want to set up a home server. Using win2k server and win xp pro. I want to be able to set up both roaming and mandatory user profiles, controll internet access, and set up a email server so that email will follow the login account so that i can get email on what ever computer i log onto on my network. I also want to be able to share my printer and allows some users access to certain programs. And one more thing I want to have all users saved files to be stored on the server harddrive.

I know that this is alot but this is something that I really want to do, and not have done for me.

"If you feed a man fish he will be full for the day, but if you teach him to fish he can eat for a lifetime."

So what i need is some type of detailed instructions on how to accomplish the project that i have set up.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

People pay thousands of dollars and spend weeks learning about this stuff - MCSE courses, etc. Best you buy a book which covers: AD (Active Directory), domain setup, security, etc.

got the book have created profiles, but cannot get printer to share. And have no idea on setting up mail server

Hope this helps,

I just finished setting up my home server, mail server and FTP server as well.

The site I used with info on all of the above is http://www.dslwebserver.com/

This site is a step by step setup with a few options for variables such as Apache server or IIS.

Let me know if this helped.
