Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 - Manual (Page 3)

This guide provides information and procedures for implementing Microsoft ®
Windows NT ® 4.0 Profiles and Policies on client workstations and servers. A
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 User Profile describes the Windows NT
configuration for a specific user, including the user’s environment and
preference settings. A System Policy is a set of registry settings that together
define the computer resources available to a group of users or an individual.
With the addition of System Policies and the new User Profile structure to
Windows NT 4.0, network administrators have a greater ability to control the
user environment than they have ever had before.
This document provides the details that administrators need to know to
implement a rollout of User Profiles and System Policies under Windows NT
4.0. Although the primary emphasis is Windows NT, this paper also discusses
how User Profiles are handled with Windows
 95 clients and how the two
platforms differ. You should use this guide in conjunction with your
Windows NT 4.0 documentation and Resource Kits.
