Background -  

Previous years we used the network peer-to-peer setup with the admin computer being Windows 10 machine. 

Problem: Too many tax preparers working at one would hit Windows Pro max connection limits.

This year I want to deploy the client-server method with a Windows 2016/2019 Server as the file server..

The instructions under: How to download and install ProSeries Professional as a network (intuit.com)

for "if your on a client-server networks:" 

Part 1: setup a network share and map that share as "P:" to every workstation and admin computer.

After that the "P:" or the file server is not mentioned anywhere in Part 2, or 3 - 

I see you can just change the directories under File > Directory . 

But that would be seem like each workstation is still installing off the admin workstation and not the file server, and the clients would still be connecting to the common folder on the admin Windows 10 workstation.. 

If all the workstations still have to connect to the file share for common on the Windows 10 box, we could still run into the same connection limits issue.

Could someone advise on how they are using the network client-server setup, are you mapping any additional folder.

Is there better instructions on this?
