1. WINDOWS NT VERSUS UNIX NT & UNIX OVERVIEW by Zhuo Hong Liu
NT: interface, command line and registry
Thin client & terminal server--multiuser & multitasking.Domain analogous to NIS.
Manage users by group
Unix : AIX, BSDI, Digital UNIX, FreeBSD, IRIX, Linux, SCO, Solaris, etc.
Command and Gui
CSh, KSh KShBash

2. USER ADMINISTRATION NT & UNIX
User manager for domain. It updates the domain database and is available on Primary Domain Control and Backup Domain Control
The Security Account Manager is maitained in Domain Controller
One set of permission - three groups
allows users to belong to multiple groups
access files owned by groups
The multi-user design support remote access at multiple level

3. TCP/IP Microsoft networking depends heavily on browsing
Resource sharing is performed using Server Message Blocks(Being replace by Common Internet File System)
Network Information Service -. Built on the client/server model . NIS server(master and slave) contain data files called maps.
NFS-Net work File system.

4. FUNCTIONALITY(1)
All the users can do is to access files and printer after logging on.They can not run any application. They can only run special applications that have been written in two pieces,ie. Client/server applications.
By logging on in to a UNIX server, they can run any application. It includes graphic-based applications since X-server software is standard issue on all UNIX OS

5. FUNCTIONALITY(2) Need separate e-mail server
Only provide file-level security
No any mechanism for limiting a user’s disk usage
Drive letters which impose hardware limitation
Send mail Program
software for performing this elementary control
shared network file systems to be mounted at any point in a directory structure.

6. FUNCTIONALITY(3)
The likes of a resources for system administration is not found.
The scripting language and a “cron facility” for scheduling jobs to run at fixed intervals

7. OTHERS Need to reboot often(caused by little bit change)
Server is static. No kernal. One size fit few
More stable
Kernal can be built to fit the specific computing needs

8. Comparison Table1

10. CONCLUSION NT & UNIX each has specific strength and weakness
What will happen next ?

Window NT and UNIX integression
NT in Netware environment
