Sales of Windows NT have been growing steadily, partially at the expense of Novell NetWare. In response to this phenomenon, this new book from O'Reilly and Associates provides a fast-track means for experienced NetWare administrators to build on their knowledge and master the fundamentals of using Microsoft Windows NT Server. The broad coverage of many aspects of Windows NT Server is balanced by a tightly focused approach of comparison, contrast, and differentiation between NetWare and NT features and methodologies. The book is aimed directly at NetWare administrators who are thinking, "I know how to do this with NetWare; how do I do it with NT?"Topics covered in Windows NT Server 4.0 for NetWare Administrators include:

Windows NT network configuration (DHCP, WINS, DNS, and RAS)
Disk configuration and administration
User management and access control
Print services
Backup and restore
Introduction to the NT Registry
NetWare integration tools
Mixed NetWare and NT server environments
