- TITLE :Troubleshooting Windows for Workgroups Interoperability
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- There are several issues that need to be addressed in order to ensure
- smooth interoperability between Windows NT and Windows for Workgroups.
- When setting up your network, note the following three issues:
-
- Browsemaster Conflicts
- ----------------------
-
- Browsemaster contentions can occur between Windows for Workgroups
- workstations and Windows NT workstations when a workgroup or domain
- contains at least one machine of each type. You may have difficulty
- seeing servers in a Windows NT network from a Windows for Workgroups
- workstation if the workstation is a backup browsemaster and not
- registered in the Windows NT network. If this problem occurs, make
- sure there is a guest account enabled in the Windows NT domain.
-
- Guest Accounts
- --------------
-
- Guest accounts should remain enabled on domain controllers. Instead of
- removing guest accounts to restrict access to certain services, simply
- remove any of the undesired or all of the guest account rights in User
- Manager.
-
- User Name Duplication
- ---------------------
-
- There should not be user name duplicates on different domains. If a
- user name is duplicated across different domains, there will be
- inconsistent results when a logon is attempted from a Windows for
- Workgroups workstation on that Windows NT network.
