This is probably the dumbest question you'll ever read here but here goes.

My sister is the office manager for a small insurance company. About 4 or 5 years ago I built 5 workstations for them. They have been pleased with them so now they've asked me to build them a server (my first) because of requirements for new software they are getting. There will be the server and 5 to 7 workstations in a local group environment. The software, TAM, will be put on the server and the workstations have TAM for Workstations on them to access the main TAM application. The data files will be stored on the server. When I boot into Win2K server it opens with the Configure your Server window which I have not done yet.

My question is is this considered a file server or an application server? What is the difference in the two?

Thanks,

Gerry
