Computers running Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server can be administered from any other computer running Windows NT Server or Workstation. Additionally, most computers operating in a heterogeneous network can be used to connect and in some cases administer computers running Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server.

User Manager for Domains is used to administer user and group accounts which allow users to participate in a Windows NT domain and access the domain's resources. Additionally with User Manager for Domains, rights and permissions can be granted to the user and group accounts providing the appropriate amount of access and restrictions to network resources in the Windows NT domain.
Once a client computer accesses the Windows NT Server with the proper permissions, the client can administer the server.

At Terra Flora, a server has been installed to provide a proxy agent to the Internet and prevent unauthorized access to or from the network. What happens is that network users communicate with the proxy agent server that acts as a fire wall to the network and the proxy agent server then communicates with the Internet. By the same token, users accessing the Terra Flora network from the Internet communicate with the proxy agent server acting as a fire wall and protecting the network from unauthorized access. There is no actual access to the Internet from the network and there is no access from the Internet to the network except through the proxy fire wall server, which will authenticate requested user access.
Additionally, the Internet server provides a central access point to the Internet. All users either exiting the network to the Internet or entering the network from the Internet will pass through this central server.
