Newbe startup question

[bernadou]

I'm not a network admin, but I have some basic
understanding of networks. I want to setup a domain in
my home as I now have 3 workstations sharing drives and
printers that are driving me crazy authenticating to each
one every time I re-boot.

So,

I have an extra box so I want to build a W2k 2000 server
as a domain controller, then setup login scripts so each
user authenticates and automatically is mapped to the
resources they need (just like at work!). Is there
a "how to" and/or best practices that anyone would
suggest? If I have the documentation, I think I can
handle it.

Thanks
B
