toastman Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Windows Server has a 180-day free trial, if you haven't used that up yet Ubuntu server has a bit of a learning curve over Windows Server because of the lack of GUI, but I would strongly suggest that you take the time to learn it. There are a LOT of helpful resources a google-search away, and you'd be surprised how much you learn carries over into other areas Quote Link to comment
PeteAsking Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 pay = convenient and easy. free = same thing but not easy and you do a lot of work. Take your pick. Companies charge money for value add. Thats why windows server is not free. Quote Link to comment
Solution Kich902 Posted April 21, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted April 21, 2022 Hi y'all, Been a minute. Recently got a solution to this: NAS; both QNAP and Synology have the DC feature (albeit basic) but it's exactly what I need. Got a QNAP NAS and did tests with its DC and it proved to be efficient sooo that's that🙂 Quote Link to comment
