Active Directory
Domain Server and Active Directory
One login for the whole office. Windows Server and a file share in Colombo or Nugegoda, so the files do not live on one PC.
One account each
Closed when someone leaves.
Shared folders
Still there when a desk PC is off.
Moved in order
The office keeps working during the change.
One account for each person, and files that stay put.
This is a Windows server in the office: Active Directory, a file share, and a login that is closed when someone leaves. It is not cloud hosting. The files do not live on the reception PC.
Five PCs with a shared drive on one desk is a common point to move. The survey says if a simple workgroup is still enough.
What the job includes

- One account per person, removed when they leave

Questions we hear first
Do we need a domain server if we only have five PCs?
Often yes, once files and passwords are scattered. The survey says if a workgroup is still reasonable.
Is this the same as cloud hosting?
No. This is an on-premises directory and file server in your office. Cloud servers are a separate conversation.
Where does the server physically sit?
In your office, with power and ventilation agreed in the survey. Small offices in Nugegoda and Colombo often use a tower server.
