This section describes how to install Windows NT Server Tools on computers running Windows 95/98. It also discusses additional password prompts, trust relationships, logging on, and removing and using the program group.

ÊTo install Windows NT Server Tools on a computer running Windows 95/98:

1.Make sure that your boot drive has at least 3.0 Mbytes of free disk space.

2.Using Explorer, establish a connection to the ASTOOLS or ASTOOLSD shared resource on the Advanced Server computer on which the package asxtools or asxtoolsD is installed. You can proceed as follows:

a)On the Windows 95/98 computer, select Tools from the menu bar.

b)Select Map Network Drive from the Tools menu.

c)In the Path: box, enter the network path to the shared ressource ASTOOLS or

ASTOOLSD, e. g. \\server\astools.

d)Click on the OK button.

3.Click on Start, and then point to Settings.

4.Click on the Control Panel.

5.Double-click on Add/Remove Programs.

6.Select the Windows Setup tab.

7.Choose the Have Disk button. Specify the directory \Win95 on the network drive (there must be a srvtools.inf file in this directory) that contains the Windows NT Server Tools. Choose OK.

8.Click on the box next to the Windows NT Server Tools entry.

9.Choose the Install button. After all of the files are copied, choose OK. Windows NT Server Tools are installed in a \srvtools folder on the computer’s boot drive.

10.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:, then append ;c:\srvtools to the line that starts with “PATH ...”, for example

SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\srvtools

11.When the installation process is complete, disconnect the connection to the shared resource ASTOOLS or ASTOOLSD.

12.Restart the computer for the new path to take effect. (Click on Start, and then click on Shut Down. Select Restart the Computer. Click on Yes.)
