Product Manual U7613-J-Z815-6-76

You can execute remote administration from any of the following systems:

●Windows NT client and server

●Windows 95/98, Windows for Workgroups, or Windows client

●Extended MS-DOS client

●UNIX system running Advanced Server for UNIX

2.5.1.1 Remote administration under MS-DOS

The administration shell is started using the command

net admin \\<servername> [password] /command and thereafter commands are issued using

the command net <subcommand>.

The command exit or the key combination and can be used to exit the adminis-

tration shell and return to the operating shell system.

2.5.1.2 Remote administration under Windows

Remote administration is possible from any system on which MS Windows, Wind ows for

Workgroups, Windows NT, or Windows 95/98 is installed. For this reason, the Windows NT

Server Tools are supplied with Advanced Server for UNIX. Special NT Server Tools have

been developed for the Windows client. Since they have the same functionality, a standard

administration interface is available to you on all clients and w orkstations.

2.6 Programming interface (API)

Advanced Server for UNIX provides a programming interface (application progra mming

interface (API)), which can be used to develop distributed applications in the network. The

API provides functions, for example, for the LM named pipes and mailslots. You can also

execute administration functions from your own programs.

With these functions, you can develop your own programs on the server operating syst em

which can exchange data with client processes. Advanced Server for UNIX itself uses the

API for administration tasks.

The API functions and changes since LAN Manager/X V2.2 are described in the manual

“API Reference” and in API manual pages. For informa tion on how to install the manual

pages, please refer to the section “Installing the asxman package”.
