INFO: Advanced Installation of Directory Services Client for Windows NT 4.0 |
Q295166
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Active Directory Client Extension, on platform(s):
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
SUMMARY
The Active Directory Client Extension for Windows NT 4.0 has three common installations: full installation, ADSI runtime only, and no user interface components. There is also a quiet mode, which is a full installation that does not require user interaction.
MORE INFORMATION
To acquire the Active Directory Client Extension (DSClient) for Windows NT 4.0, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
Q288358 HOWTO: Install the Active Directory Client Extension
The DSClient.exe that you can download contains a Setup.exe file. Setup.exe can be extracted to a user-defined directory and run separately or install options can be selected directly through switches to DSClient.exe. To extract the files to a directory and use the switches directly, type:
dsclient.exe /t:<temporary folder> /c
This article gives examples of how to pass options through DSClient.exe. However, the same behavior results from applying the switches directly to the extracted Setup.exe.
In all cases, if the files being installed are in use, restarting the computer will be required. For additional information about the files installed with DSClient, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q295168 INFO: Files Installed by Directory Services Client Extension for Windows NT 4.0
Full Installation
For a full installation, simply run the self-extracting executable with no options. If a quiet full installation is desired, the /q switch will remove the requirement for user interaction during the full installation:
dsclient.exe /c:"setup.exe /q"
NOTE: To run this command with no switches or with /q, you must have Windows NT 4.0 SP 6a and Internet Explorer 4.01 (or later) installed.
ADSI-Only Installation
The DSClient will install an update to Active Directory Services Interface (ADSI). If no other components are desired, the following command line can be used:
dsclient.exe /c:"setup.exe /a"
Using switch /a does not require Windows NT 4.0 SP6a nor Internet Explorer 4.01. This will only update the files in the ADSI and LDAP categories described in Knowledge Base article Q295168 (referenced earlier).
NOTE: The ADSI Novell DLLs Adsnw.dll and Adsnds.dll will not be installed with this version of ADSI, as they were with previous ADSI versions. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q289105 INFO: Support for ADSI on Windows NT 4.0
No User Interface Components Installation
The DSClient can be installed so the user interfaces that can be used to query the Active Directory are not available. This includes the "Printers.." option available through the Start menu's Find command. If this is the desired installation, use the following:
dsclient.exe /c:"setup.exe /d"
The switch /d requires Windows NT 4.0 SP6a.
