Installing Over Older Versions of Win32s ---------------------------------------------------- 1. Installing Windows NT Server Tools ------------------------------------- The Windows NT Server Tools are for use on computers running MS-DOS 5.0 or higher, with Windows version 3.1x (with LAN Manager for MS-DOS) or Windows for Workgroups version 3.1x. NOTE: A client computer running Windows NT Workstation uses different versions of the server administration tools. Connect to an Advanced Server and run the \ASTOOLS\WINNT\SETUP.BAT command. Disregard the rest of this README file. To install the Windows NT Server Tools: 1. On the client computer, use File Manager to connect to the ASTOOLS directory containing the Windows NT Server Tools on your Advanced Server for UNIX Systems computer. 2. In the \ASTOOLS\WINDOWS directory, double-click the SETUP.EXE program. When you install the Windows NT Server Tools on a Windows client computer, you must manually adjust lines in the client’s CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and SYSTEM.INI files. The Setup program creates NEW-CONF.SYS and NEW-VARS.BAT files in the client's SRVTOOLS directory, containing lines that you simply copy to the C:\CONFIG.SYS and C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT files. These are the changes required: CONFIG.SYS must contain a files=x line, where x is a number equal to or greater than 30. AUTOEXEC.BAT must have the following changes: The directory containing the Windows NT Server Tools must be on the PATH line. If you are in a time zone other than Pacific Standard Time (PST), add a "set tz" line to set the time zone. For example, if you are in New York, add the line "set tz=est5edt". You must also have the latest network redirector software and network API library for Windows, as follows: For Windows for Workgroups version 3.1, use the existing versions. Do not install a newer redirector. For Windows for Workgroups version 3.11, the Windows NT Server Tools Setup program installs a new redirector (VREDIR.386) and network API library (NETAPI.DLL). For LAN Manager for MS DOS, you must upgrade to version 2.2c (which includes the latest redirector). 2. Additional Password Prompts for Windows NT Server Tools ---------------------------------------------------------- When you use the Windows NT Server Tools on a Windows client computer, you will be asked at times to log on or to enter your password for verification. If you were running the normal Windows NT versions of these tools on a Windows NT computer, you would not need to supply your password separately. These additional password prompts are necessary to ensure that you have administrative privilege for the server on which you are focused. 3. Establishing Trust Relationships With Windows NT Server Tools ---------------------------------------------------------------- When you use the Windows NT Server Tools, you can create trust relationships between domains but you cannot verify them. Be sure to enter correct passwords for the trust relationships. 4. Using Long Filenames With Windows NT Server Tools ---------------------------------------------------- File Manager on a Windows 3.1x client does not support long filenames, so you may not be able to set permissions properly for files with long filenames on a server. A Windows NT Server automatically translates long filenames on an NTFS partition to short MS-DOS filenames, and you can set permissions on them. You cannot, however, set permissions on files with long filenames on a LAN Manager HPFS partition. 5. Installing Over Older Versions of Win32s ------------------------------------------- If you have a Beta version of Win32s installed on your computer, you may encounter problems when upgrading to the version of Win32s provided with Windows NT Server Tools. Therefore, you may prefer to install Windows NT Server Tools onto a computer with Windows or Windows for Workgroups that does not have a version of Win32s already installed on it. If you do encounter problems after upgrading over an older version of Win32s, re-install the latest version of Win32s from the CD for the Win32 SDK. The Win32s Setup program on this CD actually deletes any previous version of Win32s and provides a fresh installation.
