This section describes how to prepare the computer platforms for the service and administration tool in a pilot or preproduction mode. Pilot mode is strictly for evaluation. Preproduction mode is designed for "going live" with the configuration.
Each server running Phone Book Service must have the Windows NT Server version 4.0 operating system installed and configured with Service Pack 3 or later. In addition, Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 must be installed, running WWW and FTP services.
Depending on your need, the computer hosting the administration tool can be configured with Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 or Windows NT Server version 4.0. If you are planning to run the administration tool from workstations operating on your private network, you must specify the directory containing Phone Book Administrator as a shared resource. For more information, see "Setting Up Phone Book Administrator on a File Server," later in this section.
