I'm a System/Network Administrator in a company & facing a problem that how can I create replication between a NT 4.0 Server & any Win9.x client?
Is it possible? or may I configure replication some other way?

Need Help!

Thanks & Regards / Sulman

If you are using NT's own replication software.

"Only Servers running Windows NT Server can be export servers; import computers can run either Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation." (Pg 155 4th paragraph, Supporting NT Srvr in the enterprise by ms press)

You can try rep exec by veritas, but I think you will run into the same thing. Remember that 98 uses fat32 which is unreadable by nt.

Generally you set up NT with NTFS; so if you use a 95 machine with fat you will lose permissions. Not to mention they are dissimalar architectures, so I am not sure how it could work to begin with, unless you install srvr with fat. (which is a waste)

Personnaly I would'nt trust replication to a 95/98 machine, even if it could be done.

Hi Sulmau,

You are out of luck buddie Windows NT Server dows not replicate to Low end clients like Windows 95/98/ME. Nope you cannot replicate any other way.
Sorry Dude, Upgrade to Windows 2k Server and Windows 2k Pro that will give you more control of replication in you lan or wan.
If not upgrade those Workstation to Windows NT 4.0 Workstation.

Good Luck
