Hi

Client is a school and wants a server.
The class is about 30 computers. So each year about 100 students will need to be created as users and only 30 will access the server at a time.

The school would need to add the students by themselves (so it cant be too difficult to create users,but Im assuming it will be an IT teacher).
The idea is when a user is created, they must get access to their own folder on the server and only they will be able to enter that folder to save the files with a password.
The teacher(s) must be able to view the students files/folder when work is submitted/saved there.

Where do I start? Server + 30x CAL licenses. But it looks like it will be very expensive.

Would prefer some other option please.
 
Thanks. Will I need specific HP servers or would any custom build hardware server work with clearos?
It installs on any hardware you have. Ive built many "servers" with clearos that just run on regular PC stuff. Just make sure you setup software raid if you are not getting something with hardware raid (to protect your data).
