Do I need to create user accounts on each home computer?
Computer user accounts are created on each home computer that connects to
the server. Likewise, if three family members share a home computer, each
family member should have an individual user account on that computer.
For instance, if Mom and Dad share a computer, you will create user
accounts for both of them on the computer that they share. If the children, Jill
and Bobby, have their own computers, you can create one user account for
each of them and only on the computer that they use.
Another option is to set up user accounts for all family members on all
computers.Then, each family member can log on to any home computer and
access the server seamlessly.
