4. Select the Install/Uninstall tab.

5. If you have installed Windows NT Server Tools as described earlier in this section, then

you should see the Windows NT Server Tools entry in the Uninstall list. Select it and
click on Add/Remove.

The directory in which Windows NT Server Tools was installed (usually

c:\srvtools

) will not

be removed by the Install/Uninstall program. You will have to remove this directory
manually. You also will have to remove the path from the path variable in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

Considerations for Down-Level Windows Users

Advanced Server includes a down-level version of Windows NT Server Tools for Windows
3.

x

and Windows for Workgroups client computers. Although down-level Windows clients

no longer are recommended as administrative clients, the Windows NT Server Tools
program group offers down-level Windows client computers the following features:

User Manager for Domains allows users to view user and group lists of accounts; it
allows the creation of local groups to help manage access to files and directories.

Event Viewer allows users to view system and application event logs on servers within
the domain. (You can view the security log only if you are logged on as a member of the
Administrators group.)

When the Windows NT Server Tools program group is installed on a Windows
workstation, the File Manager is modified to provide new options in the Security menu.
These options provide the user with the capability to display and set file and directory
permissions, and to view and take ownership of files on an Advanced Server. In this
way, users gain the ability to manage permissions on their files and directories and to
control access to them by others.

Print Manager for Windows NT Server allows users to connect to shared printer queues
on the Advanced Server.

Restrictions are described in the

readme.txt

file supplied.
