1712.3No 'server' role anymore I'm afraid ...VIRGIN::SUTTERWho are you ??? - I'm BATMAN !!!Tue Jan 28 1997 07:4810
The 'member server' role has been removed from the product's 
functionality, so unfortunately, we need to be 'primary' or
'backup' and need all the user account information stored. 

The code base Pathworks is derived from seems to have dropped
this funcionality.

Alan,

Can you be more specific. You mean just change domain name in LANMAN.INI,
restart server and it would come up as standalone ???

Is this way of changing role supported ?
Or is standalone mode supported at all ?

Thanks,
Arlene
1712.6The proof is in the testWOTVAX::16.194.208.3::sharkeyaFri Jan 31 1997 07:467
Well, it comes up as a PDC/BDC in its own domain. SO, as far as you are 
concerned, its s/alone.

Go on, try it !

Alan

As far as I understand, it's not quite the same. 

What one customer required is to have a member server be in a specific domain
without having to have the usernames/groups (specifically without having to 
have the ADMINISTRATOR password of the domain) on the PW UNIX server. 

They would like to integrate the PW UNIX Server into their NT domain concept
without all the overhead put on the PW UNIX Server. 

Any idea how to workaround this issue? 
1712.8Move away from PWGIDDAY::CRISOLOGOTue May 06 1997 00:5112
My customer moved away from PW after realizing that he cannot have a "passive 
member server". He said his NT domain controller requires the OSF box to be a
member server in its domain and not to ba a Primary server in another domain.
He's running Microsoft's SMS.

Another reason why he moved away is the fussy licensing implementation we have 
altho' it has become better in the later releases.

Just thought I'd pass this on.

Regards,
Arlene
