Overview

Every user of the N1GE execution environment of a Windows machine must have a user account that has the same name as on the UNIX hosts. User accounts contain information about the user, including name, password, various optional entries that determine when and how users log on. and how their desktop settings are stored.

Following sections describe how you would use Windows user management to support N1GE. Windows machines are referred to here using three different terms. The following table lists the terms and the operating systems which might run on each corresponding host:

Windows Host	Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Windows Server	Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Windows Workstation	Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP
