Installing FPNW on a Standalone Windows NT Server

 Last reviewed: August 8, 1997
Article ID: Q165206

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.51 and 4.0
  • Microsoft File and Print Services for NetWare versions 3.51 and 4.0

SUMMARY

File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW) may be installed on Windows NT standalone (non-domain controller) servers for access by NetWare-compatible users.

For NetWare-compatible users to be able to gain access to domain resources, the following rules apply:

  • If the standalone server is a domain member server, FPNW authenticates users from the local account database or the domain account database.
  • If the standalone server is not a domain member server (otherwise a workgroup member), NetWare-compatible user accounts will not be able to use the domain account database for authentication. Those users will not be granted access to the FPNW server unless their account is in the local user accounts database of the standalone server.
