A guide to integrating the UNIX and Windows NT systems analyzes the issues involved, including those related to networking and file sharing, and offers solutions to printing integration, using third party tools, and much more. Original. (Intermediate).
Windows NT and UNIX Integration explains how to combine the two systems to inter-operate on a common network. If you want to configure Windows NT machines to recognize a printer connected to a Unix box, this book will solve your problem. If you want a Unix machine to retrieve files from a Windows NT computer, it will illustrate that solution as well. Henriksen tells how to get the two operating systems to cooperate to a practical degree.
In addition to the chapters on file and printer sharing, the author details basic administrative tasks in each of the two environments. Henriksen explores the similarities and differences among different Unix flavors when it comes to connecting them to Windows NT machines. Linux, SCO Unix, and Solaris receive special attention, in addition to general Unix coverage.
If you're a long-time Unix or Windows NT user and need to learn the basics of the other system, this book can get you started. Naturally, more complete references for both Unix and Windows NT exist, but the material here serves as a nice complement to the inter-operability passages. --David Wall
