Managing Domain Machine Accounts using NT4 Server Manager
A working
add machine script is essential
for machine trust accounts to be automatically created. This applies no matter whether
you use automatic account creation or the NT4 Domain Server Manager.
If the machine from which you are trying to manage the domain is an
MS Windows NT4 workstation or MS Windows 200x/XP Professional,
the tool of choice is the package called
SRVTOOLS.EXE
.
When executed in the target directory it will unpack
SrvMgr.exe
and
UsrMgr.exe
(both are domain management tools for MS Windows NT4 workstation).
If your workstation is a Microsoft Windows 9x/Me family product,
you should download the
Nexus.exe
package from the Microsoft Web site.
When executed from the target directory, it will unpack the same tools but for use on
this platform.
Further information about these tools may be obtained from Knowledge Base articles
173673, and
172540
