The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q103376
Following are two issues concerning the administration of a domain containing both Windows NT Advanced Server and OS/2 servers.

RAS Administration

If you add a Windows NT Advanced Server computer to an existing Microsoft LAN Manager OS/2 domain with an OS/2 RAS server, administrators will no longer be able to administrate RAS from the OS/2 server or from any other OS/2 system. All RAS administration must be performed remotely, from a Windows NT computer (using RAS Administrator).


Changing Administrative Passwords

If you have an administrative account and want to change the password, make sure you use a Windows NT computer. If you change your password on an OS/2 machine, your administrative rights will be lost.
