Chapter 9. Implementing Windows NT Terminal Server Edition

This chapter provides information and instructions to install and configure Windows NT Terminal Server Edition, Citrix MetaFrame, Netscape Navigator, Go Lotus Domino Go Webserver, eNetwork OnDemand Server, NC Navigator, Network Station Manager and Network Station, and the OneWorld B73.3 Client. Once these tasks have been completed, Windows NT Terminal Server Edition will be able to support multiple IBM Network Stations accessing the OneWorld B73.3 client, and this client will provide the enduser access to the OneWorld B73.3 Enterprise server.

Windows NT Terminal Server Edition introduces a terminal server into the OneWorld implementation. Actually, the terminal server becomes the client and is located on the same local area network as the Enterprise server. End-user network stations are connected to the terminal server across a WAN and do not have any OneWorld Files or logic installed. A number of end-user network stations can be connected to a single terminal server. Even though the network stations only receive screen drawing information from the terminal server, the enduser can perform all OneWorld tasks.

For more in-depth information regarding IBM’s Network Station and Network Station Manager, we recommend downloading the redbook, IBM Network Station Manager Release 3 Guide for Windows NT, SG24-5221.

For this chapter, it is our intent to provide detailed step-by-step installation instructions based on the setup of our lab environment only, because there are already detailed instructions provided in the IBM Network Station Manager Installation and Use, SC41-0664 product publication. We also recommend that you always read the readme files as they include last minute details and corrections that are always useful to know.

9.1 Types of Windows NT Server Installs for IBM Network Station Manager

With this release of the IBM Network Station Manager, you can install on:

A primary domain controller (PDC) - This is not recommended.

A backup domain controller (BDC) - This is not recommended.

A stand-alone server attached to a domain (SAD) - Recommended.

A stand-alone server - Recommended.

We recommend running IBM Network Station Manager on a stand-alone server or a stand-alone server attached to a domain.

However, installing on a PDC remains possible since PDC was the recommended install (initially) for NSM Release 2. An existing PDC server that is migrated from Release 2 to Release 3 has to remain a PDC, since you can only change a system to a non-PDC or non-BDC system with a reinstallation of the base Windows NT system.

Here is some additional information that will be helpful in setting up Terminal Server Edition among other systems on your network. For DHCP use one of the following options:
