Introduction

Welcome to the Microsoft® Windows NT™ Resource Kit Volume 5: Windows NT Update 1 book.

The Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit for Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.51 consists of the four volumes that were shipped with the version 3.5 release, this new fifth volume, and a single compact disc (CD) containing new utilities and updated versions of the existing ones. Floppy disks are no longer available.

The Windows NT Update 1 book presents detailed information on topics that are either new for version 3.51 or reflect issues that our Product Support people consider timely and important! The appendices also include information on changes that have been made to the four-volume set of books for version 3.5.

The information provided in this volume is a technical supplement to the documentation included as part of the Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.51 product and does not replace that information as the source for learning how to use the product features and utilities.

This introduction includes four kinds of information you can use to get started:

• • The first section outlines the contents of this book, so that you can quickly find pertinent technical details.
• • The second section introduces the Windows NT Resource Kit CD.
• • The third section describes the support policy for the Windows NT Resource Kit.
• • The fourth section describes the conventions used to present information in this book.
