User Limit Access Shared Drive/Folder

[Andre]

I have a small (12 -14 pcs all XP Pro OS) that are now attached to a SBS2003
network. One PC, an XP Pro, is being used as a storage PC (It was the
origanal "server". This has 4 250 GB raid drives as one drive. The problem
is I get "no more connections can be made....." once all the PC map to it.
This PC hold all the photo's for the photoshop.

Can I over ride the max user above 10 in a registry setting?

No. To enable more than 10 network connections you need to be running =
server software.

Suggest you move your "raid" array to the SBS box - it'll perform better and
more concurrent connections to boot.

Or, insted of forking out £300 od for server 2003 (or any thing of
the like) get some one who has a clue about linux/BSD to set up a
Linux/BSD samba server, plus Samba out performs windows at windows
file sharing nerly 5 times over.

oh, just to point a few things out. Using Linux means that the FS on
the Raid would need to have it’s format changed, which means all
data on it will be lost and so would need backing up first. This is
becasue (as far as I am awar) no variation of Linux or BSD or any Unix
like OS is capable of writing to NTFS partions, perhaps if Microsoft
where willing to help the open source comunity with such things, this
would not be the case? who knows.
