Hi i have been asked by a friend to help him setup his business netwok, although i am a network engineer monitoring a WAN i dont have any real experiance of servers!

What i would like to know is what can a single server do? Can a single server be used to hold all network profiles ie AD, act as a web and email server and, act as a file sever and a proxy for security and internet usage monitoring????

The business will only have max of 10 users so there isnt goint to be a lot of strain on the server and the only applications that they use is office and anti virus!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If costs are an issue check into a vpn on a shared hosting platform. Although can be a little less reliable, this is a decent cost effective solution. Every server is going to differ in terms of performance and speed.
