You want me to install WHAT???

[acemcmac]

We are setting up an NT 4.0 environment...

My only experience with NT 4.0 was doing a denial of service attack against our NT 4.0 Websense server in highschool.

I've never even sat at an NT 4.0 console before and now I'm going to be working with one every day.

Damn.

dude, you must have really really pissed someone off




good luck

 

[jtvang125]

Whoa. Old school.

 

[acemcmac]

I'm mad that we even had media for it.

 

[nakedfrog]

Is this for government work?

 

[doze]

Have fun, the install process takes hours.

 

[iamwiz82]

It's not bad to work with. A lot more work to set up networks and such. No Device Manager sucks, no USB sucks.

Don't see why not

 

[Kadarin]

Have you got some Win95 boxes handy to use for client workstations?

We worked with NT 4 terminal servers in 1500 retail locations til about 2003, when we did an in place reimage to 2003

I don't envy you. I've never had to install it, but I'm intimately familiar with wrestling with it's limitations. :|

I managed to get USB working on my NT 4.0 workstation at my last job. I never used it for anything except a flash drive, but it seemed to work well.

Floppies???? (please say yes so I can laugh hysterically at you!)

 

[lyssword]

Is that like windows 95?

 

[jagec]

What do they have against win2k?

 

[Jassi]

Might as well install Windows 3.1's for clients.

 

[mcvickj]

You poor soul. Thankfully we just got rid of our last batch of NT workstations Monday. The DC is still up and running but the only reason is because the security software for our card readers require NT.

 

[aircooled]

I'm so glad we got rid of all our NT4 boxes.
Sorry for you though.

Nope Windows 95 was for desktop and home users and uses FAT file system. NT is basically the Grandpa of Windows XP.

Guess you blew your cover there : )

 

[Captante]

I used to do a ton of work with NT 3.5/4 & I must say I don't miss it one bit ... I feel for you!

 

[Batti]

I'm pretty sure it is supported in vmware.

 

[neutralizer]

Atleast they didn't ask you to install Bonzi Buddy .

 

[Shawn]

Have fun. It's like Win95 but crappier. I suppose it's more stable tho.
