However, there may be situations where an administrator may need to configure client computer manually. MORE INFORMATION ================ For Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Millennium Edition (Me) Client Computers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ First, create a user for the client computer by using the Manage Users Console on the Small Business Server. Next, on the client computer: 1. Verify that the TCP/IP protocol is installed and configured for DHCP. NOTE: Client computers should not be configured with static WINS, DNS, or default gateway settings unless a pre-existing network requires it. 2. Client for Microsoft Networks must be installed and configured as follows: a. Select the "Logon to Windows NT Domain" check box. b. Specify the name of the SBS server's Windows NT Domain. 3. On the Identification tab of the Network Properties, the workgroup name must be the same as the domain you are logging on to. 4. File and Print Sharing should be installed and configured for User Level Access Control for the SBS domain. 5. Restart the client computer. For Windows NT Workstation Computers ------------------------------------ First, create a user for the client computer by using the Manage Users Console on the Small Business Server. 1.

At this point, you can install the individual client applications through a network connection to the server. All of the client applications setups are located at the following path: \\servername\clients\ms There are individual directories for each of the following client applications: Exchange = Microsoft Exchange Client Software Fax = Fax Client Software Ie = Internet Explorer Modemshr = Modem Sharing Client Software Ntsp3 = Windows NT Service Pack 3 for Client Workstations Only Outlook = Microsoft Outlook Client Proxy = WinSock Proxy Client You can install any or all of the client applications to the client computers.
