MORE INFORMATION ================ Administration of a Microsoft Windows NT-based computer is performed mostly within the Win32 environment. The Win32 environment provides graphic user interface (GUI) tools for system administration. However, some tools are available for system administration tasks in the Interix environment. For example, you can handle the routine task of adding and deleting users with scripts instead of using GUI tools. The traditional tasks of system administration include the following: - File and folder permissions (traverse checking) - Logging on as another user - Adding and removing users - Performing backups - Running periodic processes - Starting and monitoring daemons Because Interix can run both Win32 and Interix programs, you can use a mix of tools to accomplish your administrative tasks.
