Windows NT User Accounts for the Server

You should create a Windows NT user account for your Enterprise Server. It
should have restricted access to your system resources and run under a
nonprivileged system user account (one that has a limited set of system
permissions to your system). When the server starts, it runs with this user account.
Any server extension modules the server uses are created with this user account as
the owner.
During installation, the server uses the
you created. Once you start and run the server, you should use the user account
you created. You can change the user account for the server after the installation
process. You can configure that user account so that it has permissions to get files
on another computer, so that your server can serve files that are mounted from
another computer.
In addition, the user account you create for the server should belong to a group
that contains the server users for all Netscape servers so that multiple servers can
have access to shared files.
