Introduction
Let’s face it, Windows NT networks have become very complex to manage. Two of the major issues are:
-
Gathering information about domains, trust relationships, users, local and global groups, PDC’s and BDC’s, NT Workstations, shares, ACL’s, open files, event log information etc. is really difficult, let alone printing it or exporting it to a file.
-
It takes too much time to manage NT objects. Some examples are:
-
Users: multiple user modifications, like give one password for multiple users at one time.
-
Groups: adding and modifying groups and group memberships for both global and local groups.
-
Shares: creating and removing shares.
-
Open files. see which user has opened a particular file.
-
ACL’s: specifying access rights (ACL’s) for shares, directories and files.
What’s causing these problems? One of the main reasons is that Windows NT ships with a lot of system management tools, like User Manager, Server Manager, File Manager and the Event Viewer. Each of these tools gives you limited functionality to manage a limited part of your NT environment.
If you recognize this problem and have been looking for a way to simplify the management and administration of your NT systems, then your search may now be over.

Easy user Management with Network ServaNT
To give you an example of the power of Network ServaNT, let’s see how you will save time on managing NT users. To create a new user, you must now use:
-
User Manager for Domains to create a new user id, password, home directory and so on. User Manager by default will give the user Full Control rights on his home directory. In most cases, this is not something you want from a security standpoint.
-
File Manager (Explorer) to change rights on the home directory for a new user from Full Control rights to Change rights. Also, Full control rights must be granted to the system administrator.
-
Server Manager to create a share and also set the share permissions to Change rights for the user and Full Control rights for the system administrator.
With Network ServaNT, you can perform all these activities with just one tool. Also, Network ServaNT allows you to:
-
Edit the login script of a user.
-
Change passwords or disable accounts of multiple users with a few mouse clicks.
-
Copy an existing (template) user to save time on creating a new one.
-
Check the real last logon date for all NT users.
-
View, print, export or manage the members of a global or local group.
-
View, print, export or manage all group memberships of a user.
-
View, print, export or manage the ACL’s of all home directories.
