Intranet site

Our company is running Windows Server 2003 with Windows XP Professional on
all of our client computers. What would be the requirements of starting an
intranet site and where would I find details on how to initially set this up.
I apologize if this is rediculously easy to set up, but I have a degree in
computer programming and I am working on learning the networking side but
have not had any experience with setting this up. Any help that you could
provide would be great.

Thanks

Hi Matthew,

There is a Web server built into 2003 server called IIS 6 which is internet
information server version 6.
You could use this to host your intranet site. It is added from add remove
programs and then windows components.

The web server would then be access by ethier the Host name of the server
the servers Domain name or it IP address
like:


http://192.168.0.100/

or you can add it as a DNS record to use a name something like:

http://intranet1.localdomian.local

There are a few documents on-line that will show you how to do a basic setup
of IIS, just wack it in a search engine.

Regards,

Mike

And yes, it is ridiculously easy to setup:

Of course, depending on your needs, web page creation, datbase integration,
authentication and or otherwise restricting/controlling access may involve
considerable work. Try posting on:

Matthew,

You can also use SharePoint Services(free download for 2003) for a
basic Intranet site on IIS. It may not be the best solution if you
have particular applications you wish you run, but for someone trying
to get a feature-rich site up and running without a programming
background, it may be adequate.
