New and modified commands or procedures are explained in comparative tables with comments in Appendix A of the manual “Concepts and Planning” . Please refer to the tables for these descriptions.

●Like a Windows NT server, Advanced Server for UNIX can take on the server role of primary domain controller in a domain.

●The server roles of “member server” and “standalone server” have been omitted. In an upgrade, the member server is given the role of “backup domain controller” and the standalone server is given the role of “primary domain controller”.

●The share level security concept is no longer supported. In the upgrade installation, the server is given the server role of primary domain controller with the user level security concept.

●Modified processing and defaults for access permissions

●The environment variable $xASX exists in parallel to the environment variable $xLMX. The new command asx (e.g. asx start) corresponds to the lmx command, which can still be used.

●The Replicator service is no longer started automatically.

●Trust relationships can be set up between domains. These facilitate the use of resources in other domains.

●Global and local groups as well as global and local user accounts are supported.

●Customizable user environments: A specific user environment is recorded by means of defining a user profile or by allocating a logon script regardless of which client the user logs on from.
