I have an 8 yr, and despite numerous discussions of why it makes my head hurt from all the games and various applications she downloads/installs, I have to wipe her pc yet again and do a new build (I'm grabbing an image this time). I'm not sure if I can restrict her enough through the OS (XP Pro), or if I need to go ahead and just set up a domain for the entire household.
I have one other XP Pro box and a Windows 7 64 box. I do have a spare (although may need an upgrade) pc and I have Windows Server. I can't recall the version, but I do know I can run it as a DC.
If I need to go that route, can I just set the DC's IP static? Or do I need to contact my ISP and have one assigned? Then if I remember correctly, it will be the internet to my router to the DC to a switch that would feed the other pc's in the house? Do I need to add anything else in the mix?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance =)
