Server Manager (SrvMgr.exe)

Server Manager is a Windows Server 2003 tool you can use to manage Windows NT 4.0 (or Windows NT 3.51) domains and computers. To manage Windows Server 2003 domains and computers, use Active Directory and the other Windows Server 2003 administrative tools instead. With Server Manager you can:

• Select a Windows NT 4.0 domain, workgroup, or computer to administer
• Manage a Windows NT 4.0 computer. For a selected computer you can view a list of connected users, view shared and open resources, manage directory replication, manage the list of administrative alert recipients, manage services and shared directories, and send messages to connected users.
• Manage a Windows NT 4.0 domain. When administering a domain you can promote a backup domain controller to become the primary domain controller, synchronize servers with the primary domain controller, and add computers to and remove computers from the domain.

Most of the capabilities provided by Server Manager are also offered by the Services and Server tools in Control Panel of every Windows NT 4.0 computer. However, Server Manager can manage both local and remote computers, while these Windows NT 4.0 Control Panel tools manage only the local computer.You can also use Administrative Tools in the Administrative Tools folder on Windows Server 2003 computers to administer both local and remote computers. To administer Windows Server 2003 domains and computers, always use the Windows Server 2003 administrative tools.This update addresses the following issue:

• Fixed bug causing an access violation in NETUI0.DLL
