Public ShareFolder Manual - 2.1 Installing the server

2. Name of the server

Important note:

With "Server" we do not mean a domain controller like the NT or Windows Server^® 2003 Server, we mean the Public ShareFolder (POL) program.

The Public ShareFolder server must be installed on a Workstation that can be used as a "server" or on a "Domain controller" like Windows 2000 / 2003 / 2008 server.

On this workstation or domain controller must be an Outlook installed. This Outlook must be opened at least 1 time. This Outlook PST files of this "server" can be shared with an unlimitedd numbers of users. with Public ShareFolder

The following considerations therefore apply:

On the computer where you want to have all shared information you must install the server and not the client.
On the computers who wants to have access to the central Outlook you must install the client and not the server.

We assume that your computer network is configured as follows:

Peer-to-peer network, or
Client/server network architecture.

Outlook^® must be installed and configured on every computer.

Only after Outlook has been installed and configured should you install Public ShareFolder.

Otherwise you will not get a connection.

Name of the "Server"

Later we will need the name from the Server PC.

You will find the name under Workplace (right mouse button properties), Network identification:

Please note the name; you will need it later.
