Getting Started with LAN Manager Enhanced
Starting LAN Manager Enhanced
If your password is within three weeks of expiring, a warning appears to remind
you to change it. If the password has already expired, you must change the
password in order to log on. See ‘‘Changing Your Password,’’ later in this
chapter.
3 Press TAB to move to the Domain box. This box displays the workstation
domain. To specify another domain, type a new domain name.
NOTE: To use other domains, the othdomains parameter must be specified in the
LANMAN.INI file, or as an option to the net start workstation command. For more
information, see the Installation Guide for Clients.
4 Press TAB to move to the OK button, and then press ENTER.
Message boxes appear, telling you that your logon was successful and what
privilege level you have on your workstation. The privilege level defines the
range of action you have on your workstation (or on a server).
If you cannot log on—for example, if you mistype your password, or if a loose
cable or similar hardware problem prevents communications—a message
appears telling you the type of problem that occurred.
5 To clear message boxes from the LAN Manager screen, press ESC.
Additional Network Services
Along with the Workstation service, LAN Manager Enhanced automatically
starts three other services:
• The Messenger service, which lets you send and receive messages, and log
messages in a file.
• The Encrypt service, which encrypts passwords before sending them across the
network.
• The Netpopup service, which displays messages on your workstation screen
when they are received from another user or a server on the network.
These services are described in more detail in Chapter 4, “Sending and
Receiving Messages.”
