1. Installing Windows NT Server Tools
-------------------------------------
This version of Windows NT Server Tools is for use on computers
running Windows(TM) 95.
To install the Server Tools on a computer running Windows 95:
1. Make sure the boot drive has at least 2.5M free.
2. Click Start, and then point to Settings.
3. Click Control Panel.
4. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
5. Select the Windows Setup tab.
6. Choose the Have Disk button. Specify a directory (local,
CD-ROM, or network drive) that contains the Windows NT Server
Tools files (there must be a srvtools.inf file in this
directory). Choose OK.
7. Click the box next to the Windows NT Server Tools entry.
8. Choose the Install button. After all of the files are copied,
choose OK.
Windows NT Server Tools are installed in a \srvtools directory
on the computer's boot drive.
9. 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:, append the following to
the line that starts with "PATH....":
;c:\srvtools
10. Restart the computer for the new path to take effect. (Click
Start, and then click Shut Down. Select Restart the Computer.
Click Yes).
The Windows NT Server Tools are now installed on the Windows 95 computer. For more information about using Windows NT Server Tools,
see "Using Windows NT Server Tools" later in this file.
2. Additional Password Prompts for Windows NT Server Tools
----------------------------------------------------------
When you use the Windows NT Server Tools on a Windows 95 client
computer, you will be asked at times to log on or to enter your
password for verification. If you were running the normal
Windows NT versions of these tools on a Windows NT computer,
you would not need to supply your password separately. These
additional password prompts are necessary to ensure that you
have administrative privilege for the server on which you are
focused.
3. Establishing Trust Relationships With Windows NT Server Tools
----------------------------------------------------------------
When you use the Windows NT Server Tools, you can create trust
relationships between domains but you cannot verify them. Be sure
to enter correct passwords for the trust relationships.
4. Logging on through Windows NT Server Tools
---------------------------------------------
If you are not logged on and you start any of the Windows NT
Server Tools, you will get a message that says that the computer
is not logged on to the network. First log on to the network and
then run any of the Windows NT Server Tools.
5. Removing Windows NT Server Tools
-----------------------------------
1. Click Start, and then point to Settings.
2. Click Control Panel.
3. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
4. Select the Install/Uninstall tab.
5. If you have installed Windows NT Server Tools as described
in item 1, you should see the Windows NT Server Tools entry in
the Uninstall list. Select it and click Add/Remove.
Note: the directory where Windows NT Server Tools was installed
(usually c:\srvtools) will not be removed by the Install/Uninstall
program. You will have to remove this directory manually.

queues local to your Windows 95 computer, even if the
queue is redirected to a Windows NT Server or Windows NT
Workstation print queue.
Using the Windows 3.x Print Manager. It no longer exists
in Windows 95; the Printers icon in the Main group of Program

Windows NT Server Tools does not add a Security menu to
File Manager as it did for Windows 3.x.
