Installing the GUIs on a Windows NT Workstation
Follow these steps to install or run the GUIs from a system running
Windows NT Workstation:
- Ensure that the Client-Based Advanced Server Administration
Tools subset (ASUADM401) is installed. This automatically
creates a special disk share called
astools.
- Map a network drive to the
astools disk share.
- Select the folder that corresponds to the version of the Windows
NT Workstation operating system. For example the
winnt.351 folder
for Windows NT 3.51 or the winnt.40 folder for Windows
NT 4.0.
- Either:
- Install the GUIs by running the
setup.bat program. After
the GUIs are installed, disconnect the network drive to the astools disk
share and create shortcuts to the srvmgr.exe and usrmgr.exe files
on the desktop or in the Start menu.
- Run the GUIs remotely by selecting the folder that corresponds
with the system CPU type, then start the GUI by double-clicking
on one of the following files:
srvmgr.exe file for the Server Manager GUIusrmgr.exe file for the User Manager for Domains
GUI
Installing the GUIs on a Windows
95 System
Follow these steps to install the User Manager for Domains and
the Server Manager GUIs on a system running Windows 95:
- Ensure that the Client-Based Advanced Server Administration
Tools subset (ASUADM401) is installed. This automatically
creates a special disk share called
astools.
- Map a network drive to the
astools disk share.
- Select the Add/Remove Program icon from the Control Panel,
then select the Windows Setup tab.
- Click on the Have Disk button. Use the Browse button and click
on the drive that specifies the connection to the
astools directory
to which you connected in Step 2.
- Expand the
Win95 folder.
- Select the
srvtools.inf file and click on the
OK buttons in the Open window and in the Install From Disk window.
- Click in the box next to the Windows NT Server Tools entry
and then click on the Install button in the Have Disk window.
- Click on the OK button after the files are installed, disconnect
the network drive to the
astools disk share, and
create shortcuts to the srvmgr.exe and usrmgr.exe files
on the desktop or in the Start menu.
- Edit the
autoexec.bat file to add Srvtools to
the path and reboot the system. For example, if you boot
from drive C, edit the autoexec.bat file and either
append Srvtools to the PATH statement
or, if there is no PATH statement, enter the following
line:
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Srvtools
The installation program performs the following tasks:
- Copies the Windows NT Server Tools files to the
srvtools directory
on the boot drive
- Adds "Windows NT Server Tools" to the Start button
Programs menu
- Adds a "Windows NT Server Tools" program group to
the Program Manager, which is compatible with Windows 3.x
- Adds extensions to the Windows Explorer so that you can change
security settings when viewing shares on a system running the
ASU software, Windows NT Server, or Windows NT Workstation software
The following are Windows 95 considerations:
- Some administrative tasks require that you log on or enter
your password for verification before you can perform an action.
This is to ensure that you have administrative privilege for
the server from which you are administering.
- You can create trust relationships between domains but you
cannot verify them.
- You cannot administer print queues through the Printers list
in the My Computer window. These print queue objects represent
print queues local to your Windows 95 system, even if the queue
is redirected to an ASU server print queue.
- You cannot use the Windows 3.x Printer Manager. The
Printer Manager does not exist in Windows 95; the Printers icon
in the Main group of the Program Manager is a shortcut to the
Printers list in the My Computer window.
- You cannot use the File Manager in the Program Manager window.
Installing Windows NT Server Tools does not add a Security menu
to the File Manager as it does for Windows 3.x.
