As stated earlier, to use the Web Administration tool, you must be familiar with the Windows NT Server Administrative tools. For example, setting up user accounts using the Web Administration tool is visually different to the administrator than if the administrator uses the Windows NT Server Administrative tool, User Manager for Domains. The differences are not significant if you are familiar with what is required to set up user accounts using the Windows NT Server Administrative tool, User Manager for Domains. For details about using Windows NT Server Administrative tools, see Help.
