The Windows NT Server Resource Kit CD includes a wide variety of tools and programs to help you work more efficiently with both Windows NT Workstation and Windows NT Server. You can read about some of the enhancements made to the existing tools and programs as well as new ones that have been added for this version 4.0 release in the Introduction to the Windows NT Server Resource Guide.
The CD that accompanies the Windows NT Server Resource Kit contains programs that apply to information in the Windows NT Workstation Resource Guide, the Windows NT Server Resource Guide, the Windows NT Server Networking Guide, and the Windows NT Server Internet Guide. This new CD replaces all previous ones. It includes a collection of information resources, tools, and programs that can make networking and working with the Windows NT platform even easier.
Note
The programs on this CD are designed and tested for the U.S. version of Windows NT version 4.0. Use of these programs on any other version of Windows NT can cause unpredictable results.
A large Help file with explanations of and user actions for the majority of the messages included in Windows NT version 4.0, and a large Help file of Performance Counter Definitions are just two of the major items included on the Windows NT Server Resource Kit CD. Updates to these files and others will be provided, when available, on the Microsoft Internet web site for the Windows NT Resource Kits. See the Rktools.hlp file for the exact site address, as well as the addresses of other Microsoft information sites.
