These files and directories are listed in the following table.

File in the Installation Media Directory	Description
dll\tcWindowsNT40.dll	This DLL file contains the native code required for provisioning directories on a Microsoft Windows 2000 server.
lib\xliWindowsNT4.jar	This JAR file contains the class files required for provisioning.

The "Step 3: Copying the Connector Files" section provides instructions to copy these files into the required directories.

Determining the Release Number of the Connector

To determine the release number of the connector that you have deployed:

1. Extract the contents of the xliWindowsNT4.jar file. For a connector that has been deployed, this file is in the following directory:

   OIM_home\xellerate\JavaTasks
   
   

2. Open the manifest.mf file in a text editor. The manifest.mf file is one of the files bundled inside the xliWindowsNT4.jar file.

   In the manifest.mf file, the release number of the connector is displayed as the value of the Version property.
