-
- 1. Installing Windows NT Server Tools
- -------------------------------------
- This version of Windows NT Server Tools is for use on computers
- running Windows(TM) 95.
-
- To install the Server Tools on a computer running Windows 95:
-
- 1. Make sure the boot drive has at least 2.5M free.
-
- 2. Click Start, and then point to Settings.
-
- 3. Click Control Panel.
-
- 4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
-
- 5. Select the Windows Setup tab.
-
- 6. Choose the Have Disk button. Specify a directory (local,
- CD-ROM, or network drive) that contains the Windows NT Server
- Tools files (there must be a srvtools.inf file in this
- directory). Choose OK.
-
- 7. Click the box next to the Windows NT Server Tools entry.
-
- 8. Choose the Install button. After all of the files are copied,
- choose OK.
-
- Windows NT Server Tools are installed in a \srvtools directory
- on the computer's boot drive.
-
- 9. Manually adjust lines in the computer's AUTOEXEC.BAT file to
- include c:\srvtools in the PATH (if c: is the boot drive).
- For example, if the boot drive is c:, append the following to
- the line that starts with "PATH....":
-
- ;c:\srvtools
-
- 10. Restart the computer for the new path to take effect. (Click
- Start, and then click Shut Down. Select Restart the Computer.
- Click Yes).
-
- The Windows NT Server Tools are now installed on the Windows 95 computer. For more information about using Windows NT Server Tools,
- see "Using Windows NT Server Tools" later in this file.
-
-
- 2. Additional Password Prompts for Windows NT Server Tools
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- When you use the Windows NT Server Tools on a Windows 95 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. Logging on through Windows NT Server Tools
- ---------------------------------------------
- If you are not logged on and you start any of the Windows NT
- Server Tools, you will get a message that says that the computer
- is not logged on to the network. First log on to the network and
- then run any of the Windows NT Server Tools.
-

- the Uninstall list. Select it and click Add/Remove.
-
- Note: the directory where Windows NT Server Tools was installed
- (usually c:\srvtools) will not be removed by the Install/Uninstall
- program. You will have to remove this directory manually.
-
-

- NOTE: The following methods for selecting an object to
- administer do NOT work:
-
- Administering print queues through the Printers list
- in My Computer. These print queue objects represent print
- queues local to your Windows 95 computer, even if the
- queue is redirected to a Windows NT Server or Windows NT
- Workstation print queue.
-
- Using the Windows 3.x Print Manager. It no longer exists
- in Windows 95; the Printers icon in the Main group of Program
- Manager is just a shortcut to the Printers list in My Computer.
-
- Using File Manager (WINFILE.EXE) in Program Manager. Installing
- Windows NT Server Tools does not add a Security menu to
- File Manager as it did for Windows 3.x.
