Josh, Depending on what type of administrative tools you require, you may be able to get away with an add-on to Win95 called Windows NT Server Management Tools. This is available for free from Microsoft's Web site and provides the following tools for administering an NT Server (assuming you have administrator level privileges): User Manager Server Manager Event Viewer Allows changing/setting Permissions/Auditing/Ownership of files and directories on an NT server. I used the these tools on a TP360P (486SL33) with 12/20 MB of RAM for 8-9 months to perform administrative duties on an NT server. Other than being slow, Win95 will run on this platform. Goto the following Microsoft website and look for "Windows NT Server Management Tools", it is near the bottom of the list. I believe the file (nexus.exe) is a little over a 1MB in size. http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/support/ps_sl.idc?purl=/windows/&pfx=w95&ba se=windowssupport&kbd=win95x&sl=q_misc95 HTH, Aaron schechaa@css1.sch.ge.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 08 Sep 1997 14:29:09 -0700 From: josh <jg@izap.com> To: "thinkpad@cs.utk.edu" <thinkpad@cs.utk.edu> Subject: IS WIN NT 4.0 ON A TP500 POSSIBLE??? Message-Id: <34146E25.508FA186@izap.com> I have a Thinkpad 500. 486 SLC50 12MB RAM 540 HD. Is it possible to run WIN NT 4.0 on this little machine, or should I avoid the idea altogether? I'd like to have access to some of WIN NT 4.0's administrative tools so I can do some things "remotely" to teh network at my work. I understand NT needs a min of 11mb RAM to run, but will I be a massichist by trying to run it on my TP500? Your input is appreciated before I embark on this potentially futile attempt at installing it. josh jg@izap.com or josh.gomez@intisys.com www.intisys.com
