Introduction
The Premium Server Service offers space on a Windows 2003 file server to departments at a reasonable cost. The cost of the necessary hardware, software, and staff time to administer and maintain the server is included in the annual fee. There is also a small set up fee, usually for 1 to 2 hours of labor charged at the current Micro Systems consulting rate.
The Service provides departments with shared workspace and provides individuals with their own secure directories. Departments may have unique login scripts, choose drive mappings, and customize their common directories. It is also possible for a participating department to assign one of their staff to administer their shared directories locally.

- The Service is compatible with common desktop operating systems in use at UVa, including Windows 2000, XP and Macintosh OS X.
- Premium Server offers departments a secure and cost-effective alternative to purchasing and maintaining their own file servers.
