8.3.4 Considerations for Down-Level Windows Users

Advanced Server includes a down-level version of Windows NT Server Tools for Windows 3.x and Windows for Workgroups client computers. Although down-level Windows clients no longer are recommended as administrative clients, the Windows NT Server Tools program group offers down-level Windows client computers the following features:

User Manager for Domains allows users to view user and group lists of accounts; it allows the creation of local groups to help manage access to files and directories.

Event Viewer allows users to view system and application event logs on servers within the domain. (You can view the security log only if you are logged on as a member of the Administrators group.)

When the Windows NT Server Tools program group is installed on a Windows workstation, the File Manager is modified to provide new options in the Security menu. These options provide the user with the capability to display and set file and directory permissions, and to view and take ownership of files on an Advanced Server. In this way, users gain the ability to manage permissions on their files and directories and to control access to them by others.

Print Manager for Windows NT Server allows users to connect to shared printer queues on the Advanced Server.

!Restrictions are described in the readme.txt file supplied.
