Unix / PC Integration (1)
You cannot simply plug a NT system into your Unix network and have it run seamlessly. Creating a transparent Unix/NT computing environment is difficult.
NT installation within traditional Unix environment requires:
- system / network management solutions
- interoperability of networking protocols (Microsoft style networking (NetBIOS/SMB) and Unix NFS with NIS maps)
- Unix / NT file sharing with required level of security
- printer sharing
- tools for porting applications from Unix to NT or vice versa
- client / server applications developed for both Unix and NT
