Redbooks logo

An IBM Redbooks publication

Abstract

This redbook will help you either upgrade or install Windows 2000 on your clients and servers using the IBM Universal Manageability tools. We show you what is the added value of these tools over and above the base Microsoft tools and documentation that are provided with Windows 2000. In addition, this book provides some basic details on how to implement Software Delivery Assistant and the new version of System Migration Assistant. This book also incorporates the new function for Windows 2000 deployment in LCCM.
Examples are provided of how to use Netfinity Director to determine which of your clients and servers are candidates for migration to Windows 2000. In addition to the examples provided throughout this redbook, there is a chapter that covers the support structure for the tools used in this book as well as a chapter on frequently asked questions.
