Chapter 1 - Deploying Windows NT Server

Windows NT Server can be deployed to a large number of computers in the same way that Windows NT Workstation is deployed. The tools and techniques for doing so are described in Part 1, "About Windows NT Server" and Appendix A, "Answer Files and UDFs" of the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Resource Guide.

There are some issues to be considered when deploying Windows NT Server that are not a factor in deploying Windows NT Workstation. These include which licensing mode to use, whether the server is to be a domain controller, and server-specific services that you might want to install.

Answer files and Uniqueness Database Files (UDFs) provide most of the tools you need for specifying options while deploying Windows NT Server. These are described in Chapter 2, "Customizing Setup" and Appendix A, "Answer Files and UDFs" of the Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Resource Guide. In particular, see the end of Appendix A for answer file entries that apply only to Windows NT Server.
