Advanced Server Overview and Installation

Installing Advanced Server for UNIX Installing server software (asxserver package)

Product Manual U7613-J-Z815-6-76

If you install an Advanced Server for UNIX V4.0 primary domain controller from scratch or

upgrade a LAN Manager/X to be an Advanced Server for UNIX primary domain controller,

you can select the domain language for the domain. All builtin objects are initialized using the

selected domain language.

If you install an Advanced Server for UNIX V4.0 backup domain controller from scratch or

upgrade a LAN Manager/X to be an Advanced Server for UNIX backup domain controller

you should select the same domain language as on the primary domain controller to prevent

trouble managing objects in that domain.

During an upgrade installation it could happen that a database cannot be upgraded

because it is too corrupt to repair. In this very special situation it must be re-initialized with

a new domain language.

To change the output language of commands see Output language.

Please refer to the chapter entitled “Administration guidelines“ for further information on

how to change the domain language after installation.

Windows NT-style Printing

One of the new features in Advanced Server for UNIX Version 4.0 is Windows NT-style

printing.

This feature means that you can manage Advanced Server for UNIX print operations in the

same way as Windows NT. Advanced Server computers can store printer drivers for

Windows NT and Windows 95/98 client computers on the server. Printer drivers are

downloaded automatically from the server to Windows 95/98 and Windows NT client

computers. These clients then can use the server’s printers without loading printer drivers

manually.

However, Windows NT-style Printing requires that the administrator updates each printer

share with the appropriate printer driver(s) before Windows NT client computers will be able

to use this server’s printers.

If you don’t disable Windows NT-style printing, your Windows NT client computers

will not be able to print until you administer each printer share that these clients will

use.

Only Windows NT client computers are affected. This is not required for Windows

95/98 or any other type of Microsoft network clients; they will continue to work as

before.
