Installing Windows 2000 Server; Installing Third-Party Utilities - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.0 Installation Manual

Installing Windows 2000 Server

During the installation of Windows 2000, please observe the following:
• If there is already an operating system present on the computer, choose to
perform a fresh install rather than an upgrade.
• Format the drives with NTFS rather than FAT, as NTFS allows access controls
to be set on files and directories.
• Specify that the computer will be a stand-alone server and will not be a
member of any existing domain or workgroup. This will reduce dependencies
on the network security services.
• Choose an administrator password of at least 9 characters. Use punctuation or
other non-alphabetic characters in the first 7 characters.
• Do not install Internet Information Server.
• Specify only TCP/IP as network protocol, and do not install any other network
services.

Installing Third-Party Utilities

You need an UNZIP utility to unpack the directory server software. There are
many commercially licensed, free and shareware tools available, such as PKZIP or
Winzip. Please note that shareware unregistered versions of PKZIP 2.70 maintain a
TCP/IP connection to an Internet advertising service, and so may not be suitable
for installation on this system.
You need Adobe Acrobat Reader to read the documentation. If you do not have it
installed, you can download it from:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/win/4.x
To edit the server configuration file, you will need a text editor that is capable of
handling large text files (Notepad and Wordpad are not suitable). If you are
already familiar with Emacs text editor on UNIX, a port to Windows can be
downloaded from
ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/
many other shareware and commercial text editors available.
To display non-English characters using any Netscape browser, you can obtain
