Installing the AdminSuite Client

The AdminSuite Client is that portion of the AdminSuite 3.0 software that enables you to bring up the AdminSuite console on a PC running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 and Windows 98. The AdminSuite Client enables you to perform user and host management tasks, such as add users and groups, manage NIS and NIS+ domains, and so forth.

You can install the AdminSuite Client from a CD-ROM or over the network. Before starting the AdminSuite Client installation, you need to know the name of the AdminSuite server as you will be prompted for it. Currently, the AdminSuite Client will not run from the CD-ROM directly. It must be installed so that various property files can be created and adjusted.
