How to organize a network in a small company?

Question

System administration

There was a need to administer a small office that belongs to the parents. Considering that there are 3 computers in total, it was considered inappropriate to hire someone, and for any questions they simply ask me to do something. I'm already tired of cleaning these computers from mail and other blots, as well as connecting a constantly falling network printer, cleaning disks, setting up office applications (aunts are aged and somehow manage to break something once every two or three months). Prompt as it is better to organize work from the point of view of the network administrator? if you can also remotely connect 2 computers (my home for example) to the network for control, it would be good. maybe some articles? ready for inexpensive purchases, since they all just sit on the router, maybe some equipment is needed.

Answer 1

I'm already tired of cleaning these computers from mail and other blots,

It is done simply
- 1) The ideal option is to remove the rights from users, then they cannot put anything, but this is not always possible.
2) Mandatory backup of the system - they caught a dirty trick, started restoring from a backup, and after 10 minutes you have a freshly installed system with all the necessary programs and settings.
3) So that they don’t cling to any dirty tricks - a minimum of rights, DNS filtering, adblock in the browser, a firewall, you can even put an antivirus in some cases.

if it is also possible to remotely connect 2 computers (my home for example) to the network for control, it would be good

It is not clear what is meant by this.

because they all just sit on the router

It is better not to sit on network equipment - you will break it. Especially if the aunts are aged.

1. Install Windows from the original image / disk / flash drive on your computer and configure
   Do not forget to install / configure a firewall so that only those programs that are needed exclusively for work and surfing can access the Internet.
