  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SUMMARY

This information in this article is needed to install Microsoft Exchange on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.

Windows NT version 4.0 now ships the TP4 components on the Windows NT installation compact disc. The files are in the Drvlib directory on the compact disc.

Definition of TP4

OSI transport layer protocol Transport Class 4/Connectionless Network Protocol (TP4/CLNP) provides an OSI interface across a local area network (LAN). The Microsoft Exchange Server has an interface that allows it to work with the Windows NT TP4 driver. It uses this interface to communicate with other systems using TP4 during message transport. In CLNP, data is transferred without using a connection request. In Windows NT, TP4 is designed for use in a connectionless mode network. TP4 network address information is determined by the server running the transport stack. The network service access point (NSAP) address used by TP4 is configured in the Windows NT Control Panel on that server.

MORE INFORMATION

To install these files, you must do the following:

  1. If you already have TP4 installed and are upgrading from Windows NT 3.51, then you must remove and re-install the TP4 components from the Windows NT 4.0 compact disc. The version of TP4 that was shipped with Windows NT 3.51 will not work on Windows NT 4.0, and the Windows NT upgrade process will not upgrade the TP4 components automatically.

    To remove TP4 use the Network applet within the Control Panel. Select TP4 from the list of protocols and then select Remove. You should re-boot after performing this removal process.

  2. The TP4 files can be found on the compact disc in the following path drvlib\protocol\tp4setup. Within this directory path there are subdirectories for the processor type of your server.

    To install the new version of TP4 you should open the network applet within the Control Panel. Select the Protocols tab and then the Add button. Next select the Have Disk button, and you will get a dialog box requesting a path to the installation point. Enter the path to the appropriate subdirectory on the Windows NT compact disc for your processor type.

  3. You will see a dialog box with the driver ISO TP4/CLNP Stack selected. Select the OK button.

  4. You will now be returned to the Network Control Panel applet on the Protocols tab. TP4 should now appear on the list of installed protocols.

  5. Select Close to complete the installation process. During the close down process, you will be given TP4 configuration options. Select the proper Local Address and NSAP address for your configuration and then select the OK button.

  6. Re-start the server when requested. Upon re-start the TP4 stack will be installed and available for use.
