Configuring The System Post Installation - Netscape DIRECTORY SERVER 6.01 Installation Manual

Operating System Requirements

Configuring the System Post Installation

The Windows environment will require tuning to provide optimum performance
for Directory Server in an operational environment. Consult the Windows system
administrator's documentation or support channel for information on NT tuning
for multi-threaded internet services. The sections that follow provide some
guidelines.
• Restricting Network Services—Network file sharing is not required by
Directory Server and should be disabled. Go to the Control Panel and open the
Network icon. Remove the Workstation, Computer Browser, NetBIOS
Interface, Remote Access Service and Server Services from Network Services
tab. Leave RPC Configuration.
The SNMP service may be left if SNMP monitoring will be used.
From then on, each time the Network Control Panel is used, Windows NT will
prompt to install Windows NT Networking. Always answer No to the prompt.
• Removing NETBIOS—The server uses only TCP/IP and does not require any
Microsoft network services. On the Bindings tab of the Network window,
select All Protocols. Disable the WINS Client. This unbinds NETBIOS from
TCP/IP.
