Alcatel-Lucent VitalQIP Technology White Paper page 2

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to discuss integration of Active Directory and
other Microsoft networking concepts with VitalQIP. It is important to understand
that the use of the Windows 2003 OS with VitalQIP is a separate matter from
the integration of Active Directory and other Microsoft networking concepts with
VitalQIP. In general, VitalQIP Enterprise server, the VitalQIP client GUI, Alcatel-
Lucent DNS, or Alcatel-Lucent DHCP on a Windows 2003 platform will have very
similar functionality to the same software version running on UNIX.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, the term "Windows 2003" in this paper refers to
both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. The term "MS-DNS" refers to Microsoft
Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 DNS but not Windows NT 4.0 DNS. The term
"MS-DHCP" refers to Microsoft Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 DHCP, but not
Windows NT 4.0 DHCP. Also, please note that the VitalQIP 6.x GUI uses "Win-
dows 2000" to refer to both Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.
