Microsoft Windows NT Server is the easiest server operating system for your most demanding business needs. It's so easy to set up you'll be up and running less than an hour after you take it out of the box. It's so flexible and compatible you'll realize significantly reduced hardware and software costs. It's so reliable and easy to manage and use you'll experience far less downtime.
Windows NT Server 4.0 now incorporates the familiar Windows 95 User Interface which provides a consistent look across desktops as well as the server. Task-oriented Administrative Wizards make server management easier than ever. Wizards group the common server management tools in a single place, and walk you through the steps required to add users, create and manage groups of users, manage file and folder access for network clients, and much more.
The Microsoft® Windows 95 user interface has been integrated into Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0, making the server interface easier to use and consistent with Windows 95 and Windows NT Workstation 4.0.
These two features allow system administrators to manage and maintain users' desktops in a consistent manor. System policies are used for the standardization of desktop configurations and to enforce behavior and control the user work environment and actions.
User profiles contain all user-definable settings for the work environment of a computer running Windows NT. Both policies and profiles can be stored on a network server, so as users move computers they always receive the same desktop, wherever their location.
Printing performance is improved through server-based rendering of non-Postscript® print jobs. This results is a quicker return-to-application time and quicker return of control to the user after a print job is initiated. Printer drivers for shared printers are located on the server for “point and print” automatic client driver installation. Remote printer folders allow easier browsing of shared printers
With PPP-compliant channel aggregation, RAS enables clients dialing into Windows NT Server 4.0 to combine all available dial-up lines to achieve higher transfer speeds. For example, users can combine two or more ISDN B channels to achieve speeds of 128K or greater, or combine two or more standard modem lines. This provides for overall increased bandwidth and even allows users to combine ISDN lines with analog modem lines for increased performance. Supports up to 256 simultaneous connections.
Improvements in Internet Information Server (IIS) version 2.0 include:
Easier setup and administration of your Web sites:
- Installation integrated into Windows NT 4.0 setup allowing installation of IIS while installing Windows NT Server
- Server administration of IIS from any Web browser
- Supports logging server traffic to NCSA Common Log File format, as well as any ODBC database.
- Easier to setup SSL security using new Key Manager Tool
Client and Gateway Services for NetWare have been extended to support NetWare Directory Services (NDS). Added functionality includes browsing of NDS resources, NDS authentication and NDS printing. Supports authentication to multiple NDS trees. Support for processing login scripts has also been added.
PPTP provides a way to use public data networks such as the Internet to create a virtual private network connecting client PCs with servers. PPTP offers protocol encapsulation to support multiple protocols via TCP/IP connections and encryption of data for privacy, making it safer to send information over non-secure networks. This technology extends the capacity of RAS to enable remote access and securely extend private networks across the Internet, without the need to change the client software.
