God Bless, I believe I have a perfect setup that allows for Power Church. Above I have listed all of my network stats. With a central server with an actual Server operation system on it allows for maximum reliability and security as opposed to using windows to workgroup computers together.

We have a static ip that allows me to log in to do regular maintenance on power church to add users and fix network problems from home of work.
The static IP also allows me to provide access to Power Church from any where in the world. So to answer a few questions yes you can use a laptop to connect to your Power Church at multiple locations buildings churches.

The back up solution is built into server 2003 also. So I install PC10 and tell it to back up after Bible Study on Tuesday and bang we have a viable backup from Tuesday week count and the Sunday count.

Once permissions are set in AD you install the network setup from the servers Power Church share and thats it. You know have total security and reliability withing your network and with in power church with little maintenance. Those of you with true IT guys in your congregation should know what to do.
