Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 This package includes the

Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1, including TCP/IP transport,

Features and Benefits of Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1
--------------------------------------------------
* Enhanced Security. Each network resource can be controlled
(directories, subdirectories, individual files, print queues
and peripherals), and each user access after initial logon is
transparently checked for access rights. Passwords are
government DES encrypted; account control lets you specify
valid logon times, valid workstations, and account expiration
dates as well as password length and age; secure shell and
local security controls protect network resources against
unauthorized access; network auditing selectively tracks
network resource use.
* Advanced multiserver administration tools:
Domains enable you to administer multiple servers as one
unit.
Groups allow you to set privileges across multiple
resources for multiple users in one step.
Replicator server automatically duplicates changes made
to designated files to other designated servers or
OS/2 workstations.
* Transports: NetBEUI, DLC and TCP/IP.
The TCP/IP transport is included for access between Microsoft
LAN Manager 2.1 clients and servers. This transport will
also provide the networking foundation for LAN Manager 2.1
clients to access HP systems and other HP LAN Manager
servers. See section 4, "Integration with HP
Systems/Servers".
* Fault tolerance:
Uninterruptable power supply (UPS) support
Disk mirroring (pairs a hard driver with a duplicated
backup for data protection if one fails).
Disk duplexing (includes backup controllers for mirrored
disk drives).
* Peer Services. Any OS/2 workstation can function as a
limited server and can be used to share printers or files.
* DOS LAN Manager client installation over the network.
* Multiprocessor support
Toolkit Description:
--------------------
As part of the upgrade, Microsoft provides a toolkit with
XNS, DLC and NBP transports to allow HP LAN Manager 1.0 or
3Com 3+Open customers to run a mixed environment of LAN
Manager 1.X server and clients and Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1
servers and clients.
However, to ensure complete compatibility between clients and
LAN Manager 2.1 servers, HP recommends reinstalling client
and server software with LAN Manager 2.1. In addition, HP
recommends using one of the standard transports (TCP/IP,
NetBEUI, or DLC) included with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1.
The use of the toolkit transports is not recommended. For
customers who do choose to mix HP LAN Manager 1.X servers and
clients with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 servers and clients,
the toolkit provides the following:
XNS version 1.2 transport for the Microsoft LAN Manager
2.1 server and clients.
Information on obtaining the NBP transport for the
Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 server from Compuserve.
PrEditor (Protocol Editor Script), for installing
protocols
Home Directory Utility
Kit installer and documentation
Information specifically for HP LAN Manager 1.X customers
---------------------------------------------------------
A separate packet contains information for HP LAN Manager 1.X
customers on the following subjects:
Access to HP 3000 and HP 9000 systems using HP
Network Services/MS-DOS 2.X or HP ARPA
Services/MS-DOS 2.X
Interoperability with other HP LAN Manager servers
Interoperability with HP Resource Sharing
INTEGRATION WITH HP SYSTEMS AND SERVERS
Client Services products:
-------------------------
As of October 1991 HP Network Services/MS-DOS 2.1 and HP ARPA
Services/MS-DOS 2.1 do not support the Microsoft LAN Manager
2.1 client, but support of this client is planned for May of
1992 in version B.03.00 of each of these products.
Some of the applications which use Sockets or NetIPC included
in NS 2.1 or ARPA 2.1 include: NewWave Mail, AdvanceMail,
NewWave Access and Information Access.
LAN Manager/X server access:
----------------------------
With the TCP/IP transport, Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 clients
will be able to access HP LAN Manager/X servers. However,
changes in the LAN Manager 2.1 client will require
modification of HP LAN Manager/X in order to avoid some
minor incompatibilities with the LM 2.1 client. These
modifications to HP LAN Manager/X are planned for first
quarter 1992. This new version of HP LAN Manager/X will be
available in subsequent new shipments, and upgrades will be
available via the HP Support Subscription Service.
Access to Resource Sharing on HP 3000 systems
---------------------------------------------
For Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 DOS clients to access HP 3000
Resource Sharing servers, the Probe module of TCP/IP is
required on the client PC. Probe is not included in the
TCP/IP transport delivered in Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1. It
will be available as part of HP Network Services/MS-DOS 2.1
version B.03.00 which customers will need to purchase for
Resource Sharing Access.
