If you have to ask that question - maybe your not the right person to be setting up the server? NT4 - really, a bit dated ;)

Is this going to be the ONLY server, and do you want a central user database? Do you know what a NT domain is?

NT4 Server is old-school, I'll admit that but it's still fun. Just keep in mind, it's probaly a bad platform to learn off now-a-days since the setup of DNS is much easier, and that 2000 Server Introduced Active Directory, which NT4 lacks, which I feel is the one of the strongest points for the Operating System.

nt domain have a centralize database of users so you don't create the same users on every server you have. Each server can be a member of that domain and use that centralize user database to log on to that server

An nt domain can have a single server. It can be defined as

A group of computers or devices that shares a common directory database and is administered as a unit. On the Internet, domains organize network addresses into hierarchical subsets. For example, the .com domain identifies host systems used for commercial business.

I have install it all and the o/s part is working fine.

I picked domain controller because I want all the user names etc to be stored on the server,

I have a few questions though.

WINS-What is the primary win controller?

I can seem to pick up any other computers on my network nor can the computers pick the server up?

Do i need a DNS server??

Any1 got a guide for someone who has never set-up a server?

thanks

What client computers do you plan on using? XP home can not even join a domain.. All of the info you would need is included in HELP, or here is info on NT4 http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/techreso...ent/default.asp

What do you mean by "pick the server up" - can you ping machines by name, by IP address?

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
