HP Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS and HP PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)

HP Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS
• WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)
Support for WINS allows the Advanced Server to act as a WINS client; that is, to use the
name registration and resolution facilities available from Microsoft WINS services across
routed wide area TCP/IP networks, thus enabling WAN support for domain functions,
NetLogon services, and security database replication.
• DNS
This allows the Advanced Server and clients to use a DNS server for NetBIOS name
resolution. The Advanced Server and clients use DNS for name resolution as a last resort
if all other methods fail to resolve a NetBIOS name.
Trust Relationships
The Advanced Server supports trusts. Trust relationships can allow users from other domains
to access resources in the local domain, and allows local domain users to access resources in
other domains.
NetLogon Services
A single domainwide logon lets a user access resources on any server in a domain or on
servers in other domains that trust the domain.
The domain capabilities of the Advanced Server make it possible for a user to issue a single
logon request to authenticate the user for access to multiple servers in a network. The NetLogon
service forces the validation of users’ logon requests. The logon server that processes a request
checks its copy of the domainwide user accounts database for the user name and password
supplied in the logon request.
Network Browser Services
The Advanced Server can act as a Master Browser in a Windows NT network.
TimeSource Services
DOS and Windows clients can request date and time information from the Advanced Server
and set the local workstation date and time to coincide with it.
User Environment Management
Logon scripts can be used to configure MS-DOS and Windows workstation user environments
by making network connections and starting applications. User profiles can make workstations
easier to use, as well as control workstation access to network resources.
Server Management and Control
The Advanced Server can be managed from either the OpenVMS server or a client workstation,
using one of the following server management interfaces:
• The Advanced Server ADMINISTER command-line interface, which can be accessed from
a terminal or terminal emulator. It conforms to standard DCL command syntax.
