The Windows NT Administrative Tools program group provides administrative capabilities to the Windows NT Workstation computer. It can be installed only on Windows NT Workstation computers.

If using Windows NT Administrative tools on the Windows NT Workstation, ensure that you use the Administrative Tools for Windows NT Workstation version 3.51 or 4.0. Do not install the Windows NT administrative tools for the Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0 releases on a system running Windows NT version 3.50.

To install Windows NT Administrative Tools

  1. From a Windows NT Workstation computer, log on to the Advanced Server/9000.

  2. Using File Manager, establish a connection to the ASTOOLS shared resource on the Advanced Server/9000, as follows:

    1. On the Windows NT Workstation computer, select Disk from the menu bar.

    2. Select Network Connections... from the Disk menu.

    3. From the Shared Directories pane in the Connect Network Drive dialog box, select the server running the Advanced Server/9000.

    4. Select ASTOOLS from the displayed share names. The ASTOOLS share contains the Windows NT Administrative Tools software.

      ASTOOLS now is displayed in the Path: box with the next available drive letter.

    5. Click on the OK button. The ASTOOLS shared resource now is displayed.

  3. In the astools directory, click on winnt.351 or winnt.40. The system displays the Windows NT Administrative Tools program files.

  4. Scroll to the setup.bat program. Choose Run from the File menu to execute the setup.bat program, or double-click on the setup.bat executable. The workstation-based network administrative tools are now installed.

    The system displays a message indicating that program icons may be created for the following program items: Server Manager, User Manager for Domains, and User Profile Editor.

  5. When the installation process is complete, return to the File Manager and disconnect the connection to the shared resource ASTOOLS, as follows:

    1. Select Network Connections... from the Disk menu.

    2. In the Network Drive dialog box, select the appropriate drive.

    3. Click on the OK button.

Creating Icons for Windows NT Administrative Tools

You can use Program Manager on a Windows NT 3.51 Workstation computer to create program icons for your new Windows NT Administrative Tools program items. The following steps guide you through the basics of creating a program item.

To create a program item in a common program group, you must be logged on as a member of the Administrators or Server Operators group.

To create program icons for Windows NT Administrative Tools

  1. Open the group to which you want to add the item (probably the Administrative Tools program group).

  2. From the File menu, choose New to display the New Program Object dialog box. Then select the Program Item option and choose the OK button. Or press and hold down ALT while double-clicking in a blank area of the group window.

  3. In the Description box, type one of the following descriptions which will identify each application:

    Server Manager

    User Profile Editor

    User Manager for Domains.

    This optional description becomes the label that appears under the icon in the group window. If you leave this box blank, Program Manager labels the icon for you.

  4. In the Command Line box, type the name of the program file that corresponds with your entry in the Description box, including its path and extension. (You also can use the Browse button to display and choose the path of the executable.)

    To add Server Manager, type: srvmgr.exe

    To add User Profile Editor, type: upedit.exe

    To add User Manager for Domains, type: usrmgr.exe

  5. Choose the OK button.

    The dialog box closes and the new program item appears in the group.

You can also specify a working directory, a shortcut key, and whether the application starts as an icon in the Program Item Properties dialog box. For information on how to perform these tasks, see the Microsoft Windows NT Workstation System Guide.
